Has anyone found the contest end date? I have a project I can't put down (unfortunately), but would really like to have time to enter.

I'll get down-voted -- correctly -- for saying something that adds nothing to the conversation, but YES! I think spending my childhood watching Lucas Walencheck was part of my insp…

I'd really like to see a longitudinal study that models something like: log(mean_realized_income) ~ log(mean_expected_future_income) People who go into humanities don't expect to m…

Joe Armstrong is a really interesting guy. I think he was my favorite interview in Coders at Work.

I'm similar. I used to always listen to music while coding, but over time I realized for a lot of work, it really is a bad distraction. The only time I really listen to music while…

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

It was posted on hear a while ago, but I can't seem to find it. It was made like a children's story book; the premise was that we grow up and forget childhood dreams. I hate to use…

As far as I'm aware, no. That's why RightAWS said they get an F for communication.

I don't think it was a symptom of routing synchronization specifically, but I'd be curious to know if it was a case of unexpected and undesired synchronization. (E.G. An independen…

http://ee.lbl.gov/papers/sync_94.pdf I posted this yesterday, with the conjecture that it may have been a sudden sync problem. It's a good read.

When the dust settles, I'd be curious to know whether some unexpected and accidental synchronization occurred that put EC2 into it's mangled state.

Also how do you meet programming partners. It's been my experience that trying to find a good person to work with is like dating. If you're actively trying to find someone, you see…

Something I really enjoyed recently: Common sense is that which tells us the world is flat. --Stuart Chase

I was. Thanks for the great link!

1) Explicit privacy policy that never stores DNS requests on a per-client basis. I haven't followed the ISP retention laws but they seemed to be getting more and more ominous. 2) W…

I mentioned this in the Poker thread. (If I had time right now, I'd consider implementing it.) I would like and would use a DNS service that 1) did not keep any record of my querie…

Okay. This makes me want to indulge in youthful indignation. If I saw this and was at a company like OpenDNS, I'd start considering saying "No. Sorry. We're going reverting back to…

Felipe Fernandez-Armesto has a good book called Civilization: Culture, Ambition, and the Transformation of Nature that talks a lot about this, among other things. http://www.amazon…

How different is this PDF from the book version? (see: http://www.amazon.com/Purely-Functional-Structures-Chris-Oka... ) Regardless, thanks for the link.

Part I really caught my attention when it was posted a week or so ago. I've never really learned about music but it seems like a lot of programmers really like composing music. (Ac…
