Respond if you would like to meet a Swede for coffee! I am staying at Coutance.

You seem like an interesting fella. Wanna get in touch over email and bounce around some ideas and favorite blogs and such?

Related to Edward Norton the actor?

Can this technology be refined? Someone should do a startup to build devices that allow higher bandwidth communication.

Are people really that good at duping themselves? Seems metacognition, the ability to reflect on one's own thought process, would be a really good cure for such cognitive dissonanc…

Yeah, that is a blatant imbalance. Why, OP, are you not working as a developer? Honest question, not trying to be negative or anything.

OP learned a very valuable lesson: people don't always play fair, and politics/appearances count for a lot in business. The lesson was learned very cheaply, all things considered.

Many people are complaining about IE8 and IE6, but what about even older browsers? Looking at Stack Overflow, there are actually a few results about IE5(!) http://stackoverflow.com…

What are your best practices? Here's what I could find on my own: Useful articles: http://blog.scalyr.com/2013/10/31/angularjs-1200ms-to-35ms/ http://tech.small-improvements.com/20…

Is anyone using a 4K screen? http://tiamat.tsotech.com/4k-is-for-programmers

I would of course add "The good parts" by Crockford to the list. But maybe that is just par for the language course, before one even starts to wants to master Engineering :) JavaSc…

Something that would be cool: implementing X-Windows in JS, using HTML for rendering. So you could run your desktop applications remotely in the browser. You'd have to tunnel the X…

I think this is a really awesome idea and I have a follow-up idea. I'm kind of in the same boat as the poster: I'm a developer who wants to do a SaaS but I lack a worthy idea (ie o…

Thanks, I'm adding those to my to-buy list. Doing some research* on what will be my next all-purpose language and Clojure is currently my best candidate. * https://news.ycombinator…

Fascinating stuff. I guess non-mainstream methodologies/frameworks like NLP, chakras and yoga were on to something when they said that emotions have locations in the body.

Thanks for the cljx tip. Is it commonly used, or more of an experimental thing?

Right. If I ever need to do any low-level programming, I'll have to look at something else (probably C). Mobile and desktop are not something I focus on heavily either. It's nice t…

Motive for question: I really need to get out of my current language rut (PHP+Javascript) and am looking for a powerful all-purpose language to study and learn deeply over the comi…

For years, there were pretty much zero articles about Perl posted here. Even Java received more linkage. Recently, I'm seeing a small trickle of Perl posts, which makes me wonder i…
