I did some something like this a while ago: https://github.com/ekoontz/psqlog

Nice to use the same idea as Galileo's "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialogue_Concerning_the_Two_Ch...

I think in the some cases like people mentioned above, it's no longer collaboration but more of a consultation. The benefit is only going in one direction: to the consultantee. In …

Did any of these legal (not to mention ethical) questions come up when they applied for YC?

I pay $6/year for: http://www.jollyrogertelco.com/ I actually get excited when I get telemarketers because the robot sometimes fools them enough to keep them on the line for a few …

Hm, perhaps counting number of bits set to 1 in a multi-byte array?

I agree - I pay $2/month to Jolly Roger and since then my robocalls have dropped to nothing. I actually miss getting them because it's so fun to hear Jolly Roger frustrate them.

Very nice.. Found my own species in a few click!

I disagree - it is very much worth reading. Even without a single word the pictures make a powerful statement. It presents a typology of built environments and makes the important …

Fair enough. What about the plantation land? Fair game for redistribution to the slaves, or would that be a violation of the plantation owners' property rights?

Lincoln seems like an odd choice for a libertarian role model. He suspended habeas corpus and expropriated the Southerners' private property (their slaves, plantations, etc). If he…

I was born in shower brass field. Sure, it's not as well known as kicks pasta steer, but it was a great place to be born.

"a good reference (where the candidate doesn't work out) gets you sued by the company" Really? Has this ever happened with the plaintiff ending up winning in court?

The "red mafia"? Who or what is this?

I used Apache Fop ( http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ ) to convert XML to PDF at a previous job. It was extremely painstaking work. On the other hand, it gives you a lot of fine-g…

Thanks for the introduction to Prey. Just installed it!

Not sure if this is related, but starting yesterday, I've had to switch from Firefox to Chrome for twitter - Firefox uses all my RAM and beachballs.

"The value proposition of the API proxy increases dramatically if it is able to map between the security protocol of choice in the mobile world, OAuth, and the existing security in…

Some interesting criticism of Play here - seems similar to what's been said about the lack of unit tests. http://whilefalse.blogspot.com/2012/03/why-im-moving-away-fr...

Thanks, interesting site!

It depends a lot on the circumstances. Here's a recent situation where the decision to make some streets in Chinatown pedestrian-only and removing parking on others (if only for a …

Please also have a look at something similar I've done which I called "hsk" (Hadoop Starter Kit): http://github.com/ekoontz/hsk/

"LISP has been around some 50-odd years without taking off despite several attempts at its revival... I suspect something is wrong with it" I laughed out loud at that.

Very nice, thanks for creating this. Looking forward to playing more with Noir, and using it for my own little clojure side project: https://github.com/ekoontz/italianquiz . Commen…
