https://github.com/donaq/topovica <-- Code is ugly, there's no consistent style and there are no tests. Some bugs also exist, but I was just trying to get from zero to "meh, good e…

HQ in Paris killed the Singapore branch because the company was not making money. I was given 1.5 months of notice, which seemed like plenty of time. There wasn't much drama to it …

Isn't it possible that a significant fraction of mature humpback whales have had bad encounters with killer whales when they were younger and just always mess with them when they c…

Aren't there deterministic interpretations of QM? Or have those been disproven?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but chaotic systems are unpredictable because they are complex and infinitesimally small variations in starting conditions result in hugely different outco…

"Young women don't magically become technologists at 22. Neither do young men. Hackers are born in childhood..." Nitpick: I actually only started learning to program in university …

You are super awesome. I have been programming for years and I still don't know how to do some of the stuff you've done for your websites. I'm sure I could easily learn how to, but…

I'm really not sure if PAP would have the support it does if people could freely criticize it. Hence the new law. Another interesting related effect has also to do with how Singapo…

I sincerely doubt the sum total of human misery caused by the government in Singapore will ever exceed that caused by that of the North Korean government.

You don't get caned for littering in Singapore.

"The scariest dystopias are not hideous hellscapes where nobody would want to live, as those tend to self-destruct or at best persist in tiny enclaves and never catch on." This see…

Hi, I used to write code like your 21 nested callbacks, so I'm baffled by your friend's assertion that no programmer would be so patient. I've always thought that the patience to g…

I don't pay much attention to American politics, but Romney was running for public office. Arguably the most powerful political role in the world, which makes his private opinions …

Singapore!

Well, it's a relative thing. At the time it was built, it was probably one of the easiest platforms to create things on, other platforms at the time involving actual physical equip…

"Then it was holding at $42 for whatever reason. $42. $42. $42." 42 is the answer. He's just not asking the right question. Sorry, couldn't resist.
