Adding to the list of great options here: I'm part of a team based out of MIT that has been building an open-source, hosted journal publishing platform called PubPub: https://pubpu…

I wrote this. I don't know if it would actually work technically, and the politics of media coordination would be the hardest part. But I'd be interested in what y'all think.

What I liked most about this one: getting so absorbed in code that you forget to eat or sleep spans generations of computer scientists.

I think Pete is right on. Content marketing as a by-product of engineering, especially open-source engineering, is only going to become a bigger part of recruiting. Just look at Gi…

Oh, they definitely do both, I'm not disputing that.

"As part of K.D.D., an algorithm was applied to the broader data set in efforts to detect patterns of behavior fitting models that had been previously established as being indicati…

Thanks to your help, I found a huge, obvious problem that was keeping the accuracy low and remarkable stable no matter what size of training data I tried. Here's the update: http:/…

I know, but I still want to take it seriously, and thank you for your criticism.

Thanks. I solemnly swear to not abuse statistics, so I'll play around and update the piece. The goal is to use this as a hook to get the public interested, then take them for the r…

I've been writing about Bitcoin for a while, so I'd definitely be interested to know where you end up on this. Please get in touch with me if you end up accepting payment in Bitcoi…

What about when we start needing fewer people to tell the computers what to do? This is already happening with automated testing and QA, self-reproducing code, etc. Someone mused i…
