I feel I have to point out that there are big problems that can be considered well by a group of experts in excruciating detail, that a rolling release does not help. Specific exam…

Oh I really do miss optional type hinting in. Theres a lot of raise ArgumentError.new unless foo.kind_of? Bar Going on in my code these days.

Stuff that hasnt changed markedly: geometry math, statistics. SQL - 1970s. SOLID - parts of that are late 1980. C still looks like C. Unix like environments. Awk/sed/etc. Go read a…

Because it doesnt make money and doesn't cost much to ignore?

He didnt add these important words: "on the web" PDF as a primary info exchange format online is stupid and needs to die

I'm interested!

Interesting - I can do 3000-4000 calories through cycling and get away with only a small protein rich meal (scrambled eggs + steak) after. Even today, another 2 hour mild session (…

> What I don't understand is why anyone thought using XML that way was a good idea, and why it still is popular in the enterprise. Bad habits are hard to break, I guess. Namespaces…

I tend to live tweet stuff into slack, makes it useful to dump into other tools or get input from others who arent there, eliminates a lot of status update / meeting recaps

Second bit of feedback - http://improve-osm.org/ does a pretty good job of highlighting areas of potentially unmapped areas. Via slack, I've made the suggestion to them to open the…

Would you consider something like Strava's aggregated GPS traces to complement how confident you are with detected roads? For example: http://labs.strava.com/routing-errors/#250/17…

I find the interoperation problems of software alarming - you would think open source tools would grow in use at some point, even if just the basics (ie: postgres/postgis, or tools…

Could we create open standards? Yes. Will businesses? Probably not. A lot of 'apps' for food act as an aggregator, which is the closest I can come to an API. But they are locked in…

And you should build tools that keep on giving: the point of journalism is to watch authority - humans cant do it all.

Does it really though? Those are trivial problems to solve: dont show users tools they dont use via roles/permissions; dont execute code that is unrelated to the current purpose.

Its more about autonomy: after the basics are taken care of, how do I avoid depressing things caused by other people affecting me?

If you went on holiday the cat would more likely starve than roast. Australian and many other cats also regularly endure high heat - 32 degrees C plus. The author really should hav…

I wonder how she was employed, vs https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sick_leave#United_States

Simple fix: apply inner platform effect to your benefit. Either highlight a 'high level feature management tool' (trello/wrike/etc) different to your development workflow, or abuse…

I wish linkeddata.org or ckan installs weren't being reinvented here, but instead ckan supported pull requests or similar decentralized ways to publish new data sets

Can you expand on that, I'm unclear on what you consider "better"

Sigh. Seems like the author has never really come across JSON-LD.

Oh and: want to market yourself as a tutor? I'd pay a reasonable rate for 1:1 tutoring on the math side of things for an hour or two a week. Get a few recurring people at the right…
