I hear it has a web interface now, maybe someone could write something using phantomjs/casperjs that could push and pull mail. I Used Lotus Notes at three successive companies, from 1995 through 2010, excluding when I went to college.

I felt that his response was a gentle nudge to say "we expect you, as a programmer, to either read the spec or just write a test program, to get your answer." When I started out with IRC and Usenet I had to be inducted into the cu

You're me at JavaOne in 2006. Here's a cool fact, there's a ton of people there and so the person you're next to in line for a talk, you'll probably never see them again after you go home. I know anxiety isn't

Octopress 3 not released yet but it is right around the corner. It is much, much easier to use than Octopress 2. If you're still interested in the static route someday you might want to re-evaluate again in a year when it's releas

If I'm standing here, all the stuff that the atoms in my body could conceivably interact with have to be backfilled for me to interact with them according to this experiment, but since I'm not special to the universe, atoms three

Arguably faking a government identification in any context is damaging to the credibility of that ID in any context. I still don't think it should be illegal, but the argument can be made rationally.

It seems like it wasn't all that long ago that people were up in arms about companies considering everything an employee said on their own time to potentially represent the company. This is why companies did that, because interlopers c

Often it's dealing with interfaces. A couple years ago I worked at a place with a laser cutter, like an old one. You sent instructions to a program that talked to an interface card, which controlled the cutter. The program ran under DO

Homosexual population is more like 1-5%. Distinct category from "anyone who has had a homosexual experience or thought" where the larger numbers usually come from. Latter would not be useful here.

I remember that, do you remember that OKC was only a couple years after Osama bin Laden tried to bomb the World Trade Center and was during a time which Al Qaeda was attacking US-affiliates overseas on a regular basis?

More weirdos with crazy inventions talking at conferences. Urbit and Yarvin fit the bill. I seriously doubt he's going to establish a monarchy during the course of his talk, so grow a backbone. Nobody's scared, and tons of institu

I can't tell if you're saying "people shouldn't have to hear racism around them even if the person is mentally ill" (so shadowban it or whatever) or if you're saying "mental illness is not the reason that

I know a schizophrenic too, my grandmother. She has similar outbursts. She is institutionalized and unemployable and for many people near-intolerable to be around. My mother has been dealing with it for over 45 years. We take my grandmother
