Love Drools. The consultancy I worked for made so many happy customers by just simplifying a lot of complex optimization use cases with Drools. Hard to do better than Drools for ru…

I’ve been using this in our Python project via clipspy ( https://github.com/noxdafox/clipspy ) and it’s been pretty nice. Clips is really REPL-centric and provides a lot of good de…

If you're favoring Boot, why not just use a newer version of Grails?

Groovy: Java is not Python enough

I want to like IntelliJ IDEA so so much. In the same way that I want my primary computer to run Linux and all my code to be in some dialect of Lisp.

I'm a visionary.

It's all very simple. The trick to always succeeding is to take all your failures and make yourself think they're successes. If you can't fail, you've got no fear. Being delusional…

We just lure all the Nestle employees into a dark alley... and then we hit 'em up for more candy bars!

Giving the type of people who like command lines a command line -- not a bad idea! The down side is that, I think, this is really only useful for the github power user. The upside …

Well, I don't know how you got that assertion about the normal distribution. But, one reason you could think it's not a simple normal distribution is that computer science classes …

Amazing stuff. This may finally give me an excuse to learn Haskell. I have some concerns, though. I'm no JS expert, but it seems to me the resulting code is a bit difficult to read…

I agree that modern "computer science" educations often don't teach enough to allow you to make great software, nor enough to open your eyes to the grander concepts. But you can't …

Keeping actual files around, eh? What a quaint, old-timey idea.

Test

\[\begin{aligned} \dot{x} & = \sigma(y-x) \\ \dot{y} & = \rho x - y - xz \\ \dot{z} & = -\beta z + xy \end{aligned} \]

I was in this class. We all had to do this assignment and it was really fun. Dr. Andy Johnson is a great professor.

I think the headline and the blog entry is saying that every line of code is going to be an interface for someone. Whether for the purposes of reading or using your code. Kind of s…

I'm a bit sick of lists of advice on blogs. I wish this trend would stop. Also, and I mean this as politely as possible, the advice is pretty obvious in this case. Nothing really c…

I wish 3D printing tech was developing faster. I bet there's still room for someone to step in, improve them, and make billions out of it.

It's time to build Starfleet Academy. We know there are enough VCs around San Francisco to do this! :)

I think it must get harder to run a company that way when you get a lot more employees. Once you become just another face in the crowd, there's not as much social pressure on you. …

What an interesting problem... so, if you were to build a searchbot, what would it type into those form fields it found? It has to be very difficult, especially since you can't do …

There's another fast food chain that's kind of like this: Five Guys Burgers and Fries. Best burgers I've ever had. And they only serve burgers and fries (the occasional drink, mayb…
