I won't design for 30 000 notes when I expect only 300 max. Much too expensive. I'll solve that problem when the first reasonable use case appears. I wish you all good luck with over-engineering your software!

Maybe it's because the CEO of braintree is called "Bill Ready". Heh.

Surprisingly usable, I like the references syntax for links much better than browsing through them like with lynx.

Very Sci-Fi. The fontsize will have to be reduced once we reach >999 people in space.

Exactly, I can't remember the last time I've seen an optometrist, horrible things could be wrong with my eyes.

I have (as far as I know) perfect eyes. Around bright objects there is a slight halo, best compared to the one you see in video games around streetlights at night. It's much smoother than the one in the illustration in the article and

What are you talking about? This font is a disaster, everything looks the same.

Couldn't you fix that with an USB sound card? My headphones included quite a nice compact one.

> inadequate options of corrugated metal and ... Isn't corrugated metal awesome for 3rd world shacks? Drill some holes, attach with screws and seal holes. It's strong, watertight and can go a long time without maintenance.

I'm not sure this is legal, or should be legal. I hope the EU will do something about this.

Yeah, the most annoying thing ever. Didn't they ever attend a real presentation where people actually asked questions about things that were shown on past slides?

Did you read the article? It actually has some nice rules of thumb on how to compare the price of a house to the rent.

Yeah, the early adopters got rich. I think that's fair because they invested in something that was really uncertain at that point. You could even argue that if you buy bitcoins now you're still an early adopter. Bitcoin itself is

It's still well written. I'm not sure how fast the author could churn out good articles when he was feeling good but he is definitely not that stupid now.

Did you actually use HATEOAS? I'm currently designing an API and it's just way too much work and overhead to add links when everyone is just going to hardcode them anyway. Do you have any examples where HATEOAS actually prevents o

I'm not an expert on meditation in any way, but for me the goal is an inner peace, an inner tranquility that allows me to have a razor sharp focus on the things I'm working on.

It's a type of meditation that allows your mind to wander. Simultaneously you pick up interesting bits of information and you practice your written communication skills by writing clear and concise replies.

Yeah, makes me physically ill. It feels like they caged me by disabling the default action of the scroll wheel.

It does look like fun! Someone should put some designs online to build your own. I would only be using it once or twice so buying it seems wasteful, but it would be a nice project to put together on a rainy day.

Isn't parsing the JSON and converting to your own data format more work than just generating random users yourself?

I'm actually quite happy that the list contains these items. Yes, when overused they are annoying (like everything else) but by itself they are all (except the "general internet comment") valid.

Doesn't the fact that they scored the same on the first tests actually prove that being rich or poor doesn't matter in practice? If you give someone a problem to solve and then another one of course he will still be busy with the

I had the idea that for men the standard deviation was bigger? So you have some guys that are less good at math than the worst women and some men that are better than the best women? Not sure where I got that idea, would be interesting to k

If you're good at abstract thinking everything is the same. Even being the same is the same as not being the same ;). Really a good skill for software design, as you can build a lot of functionality that looks different on the same bas

Other people clearly don't think your job is worthless or they wouldn't be paying you to do it. The reason we don't work less is because we clearly want (and can have) more stuff than we had in the 1930's. If you're

Yeah, it's not surprising that any change would make it faster. Plot twist: OP was previously typing the server response BY HAND.

Isn't this just a variant of the known plaintext attack?
