Do you mind if I adopt that as my standard way of making people leave me alone?

Just before that day comes, they've got you tagged as a potential social disturbance thanks to your comment.

You've not refuted the article but merely described it as naive, ridiculous, etc. Whilst it's true that a quiet highway attracts drivers, that doesn't mean that reducing the drivers this article discusses won't deliver benefits.

It is - the title is just blatant linkbait.

If you've hired/been hired for a "Data Scientist" role recently, what are the main skills and accomplishments you look for? I could do with a better idea as to whether we're talking someone who's a statistics fan or a distinguished PhD expe

jQuery Mobile shares my record for dropping something that I've started hacking with enthusiastically.

Indeed, I meant the one time somebody consciously considered it, rather than the plethora of times it passes by unremarked.

This isn't stupid, in itself. What it's evidence of is the problem with security theatre: when told a bunch of people try to kill their kids daily, nobody examining luggage is going to let something go past and think it is what it probably

The major problem with Government contracts, and often part of the reason the costs seem insane, is that these are about as established/regimented and non-technical an environment as you can imagine. Small companies founded+run by agile hac

I can't help but wonder if Google are trying to ensure they stay as the major non-Apple player. For all the popularity of Android, it is a far less interesting offering for a long-term iPhone user than Windows Phone.

This sounds awesome, nicely done. I've been planning to do a hack like this to demonstrate the realities of interstellar travel, modelled after a game I played as a child.

Love the refresh. Does anyone know how support for VMWare and Parallels is going?

I've had the similar experience, of working on personal projects quite close to undergrad coursework yet having a huge difference in my motivation between them. What helped me was the modules that really fit with levelling up my knowledge (

I spent this last summer interning in the Bay Area. At first I thought Muni was great, but after a few weeks I only took it for particularly out-of-the-way journeys (eg: Golden Gate Park to SOMA). It's a decent enough service, but it's just

That's quite the rant. It's a shame that someone's been put off like this, but it doesn't seem like there's enough in this article to really work out what's gone on. Regret that I'm only learning of Cryptoparties now - I quite like the conc

Why would you die from fumes inside your car? Provided the air intakes and exhaust pipe were clear of snow, I was under the impression it wouldn't really build up.

Off-by-one errors only affect good programmers. Otherwise you just add enough of such errors that all the under- and over-summing cancels out. 7 years ago, when I was a new programmer, I did use a technique like that to fix some JavaScript.

I'm should be more amazed at how I can wake up with a bugfix to make in the middle of 1500 LOC from the day or days before. It's something of a once-or-twice-the-month event, and tends to pass by without me paying much attention.

It's slightly less fast, but I don't mind this. Provided you don't make me remember which email address you're sending to and just autofill it, I'll happily click all the one-button forms you like.

Wow, that's awesome. I've been meaning to look into the origins of D3 because it's one of the things on my current "awesome web tech" list. I've been really impressed by even my beginner's experience of D3 (eg: http://hospital-tycoon.46bit

GitHub is awesome, but why so many upvotes for a homepage redesign? EDIT: Why so many upvotes for a comment about upvotes?
