Cryptonomicon is one of my favorite books of all time (I'm probably due for a re-read at this point). I would also recommend "Seveneves", one of Neal Stephenson's most recent books. "Anathem" was also very enjo

Could you elaborate on the "gross things"? I read Disrupted and thought it was pretty funny/interesting and I've watched a few of Dan's talks and enjoyed them. A quick Google search didn't turn up anything abou

Yeah, I guess my real question is "why is this (hacker) news?". But I know why it's really being reported, I guess I just hoped HN wasn't as bad as other news outlets...but here I am, commenting on the story so...

James Long (jlongster) does this from time to time. I haven't watched any of his videos yet but I find it hard to believe that they wouldn't be interesting considering his talks/articles etc. https://www.twitch.tv&

Yeah, back when I tried Common Lisp #3 was a stumbling block. I hear Clojure solves that problem pretty well, maybe because it's a little more mainstream than other lisps and also because my understanding is it's pretty easy to wo

I was just going to post that. I don't think any other explanation or tutorial does a more complete-yet-understandable job of explaining how the DFT actually works. I feel like there are a million articles out there that do basically w

Is your company hiring front-end devs? ;) It might be useful to put the company name out there, I'd be interested in learning more.

David Nolen - http://swannodette.github.io/ James Long - http://jlongster.com/ I follow these guys for similar reasons. They always seem to be a couple steps ahead of the rest of the industry and it's

Is everything else between these two groups completely equal? I seriously doubt it is, in which case I don't think it's fair to make any conclusions that hold weight. This is one of the problems I have with these sorts of things.

Rich Hickey just did a great talk about this sort of thing at Clojure Conj: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyLBGkS5ICk

First I guess let me say that I would love to hear more of this kind of thing, as I think the rest of the US would right now, because a lot of us are shocked by the outcome of the election. And while I can understand her feelings about Obam

The CSP thing is something I've been looking at recently, and while it seems like it's a little bit lower-level than things like Rx, it seems like channels are more flexible streams (i.e. channels are two-way so you can do back-pr

I was going to say, a lot of the Math I learned in High School and then never applied to anything I re-learned more recently when I started mucking around with computer graphics and game dev (especially trig, matrices, vector math, etc.) I&

I was going to say, if these are in priority order, move #8 to the top if you're not already doing it! That way you get the benefits of it moving forward :)

Moving entirely to svg for user interface has some of its own issues (i.e. there's no default layout engine in svg; everything is essentially absolutely positioned...) but would be interesting to think about. Moving entirely to WebGL w

I've built a few apps using node-webkit for myself and, being a web developer, found it pretty awesome. One of the challenges that I think atom-shell handles better is background tasks/jobs. In node-webkit, my understanding is if

It's not like you have to update it/configure controllers every time you turn it on. My Xbox often has to update prior to me being able to use it if I haven't played it for awhile too.

I believe Cloud9 ( https://c9.io/ ) is exactly what you're asking for. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it to clone any of my repos recently to play around with it a lot but I did try it out awhile ago and
