this . Vimeo is great, but we've seen hardly any continued development in the last 10 years. It looks exactly the same now as it did 10+ years ago. In order to pursue the market yo…

ditto. Books. Right now it's: Who Killed Homer, and Sophocles plays.

Agree here. I don't think many sites have either. You have to dig a little, open the code-behind, but they're there.

This article is completely wrong. Slashdot, Digg and Reddit were already at 100% of full-power way before Google Reader ever shut down. And him citing that the causes are unknown i…

what took you so long? Oh, and add quantum computing to the list.

Am in the same boat. Have 15 years programming experience, and can literally code circles around many or most of the people I am interviewing with, but because I don't have a degre…

There goes another great product, killed by Microsoft. M$ doesn't understand open source. They infuse their products with too much politicking and marketing, trying to lead clients…

Location: New Mexico ( southern ) Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No Technologies: C, C++, MySql, Python, Javascript, Php, Nodejs, Qt, Win32, Gtk+, gcc, clang, Visual Studio, Perf…

What bothers me is that nowhere in both articles I read do they once mention: "what if it wasn't what we are postulating it is." That tact of reasoning is never explored. The entir…

I agree with your criticisms. It doesn't seem clear that these rocks were used for what they claim. I recently found what I believed was an arrowhead. It is symmetrical and sharp o…

Saying "iTunes will never work well" is like saying the sky is blue. Why would anyone need a kitchen sink to copy an audio file to their device? Oh, wait, unless there is manufactu…

Last year I had a revelation while reading Gore Vidal that all my favorite books almost without exception had been written on typewriters. I immediately went to Ebay and bought two…

Pretty sad this got flagged. Honestly, I would flag the Bible before it. I think I understand your reasoning. While I don't agree with it, it's no worse than Ayn Rand or Timothy Fe…

I would say the answer is to read profound books, and then move. I was in a situation where I drank continuously for several years because I was stuck in a dead-end job in a dead-e…

The thing is, I think the thing we want and the thing we get are two different things now. Its not a question of tech, such as Javascript, its a question of: I want to read, write …

haha. double points for funny and true.

This is correct. Boiling water scalds the tea giving it a burnt-out taste. Of course this depends on the tea. I find it less true for black tea such as Darjeeling (my personal favo…

From 10 years of working as a sysadmin in a Psych department, one constant in life I've learned is that Psychologists are the most incompetent, fanciful egoists in all the sciences…

check out abebooks.com. They have the best search engine for books when it comes to facts about the specific book, such as: is it a first edition? If its a hard cover, does it come…

Go to abebooks.com. Often the same sellers sell the exact same books there but with 2.50 shipping instead of 3.99. I almost never shop at amazon anymore for the simple reason that …

I hacked up my own in March. I didn't even know Google Reader was closing. I just got tired of the features that other readers didn't have. It's a console application, which I real…

I struggle with getting started on a project. I tend to spend days, sometimes weeks, thinking about the problems I am going to have to face when I start coding, and researching the…
