Yes you are definitely "underestimating the amount of self-imposed race-based limiting factors;"...It is true for many kids not just African Americans, seeing people you can identify with even if just superficially can influence h

I agree that a Turing machine is imperative...when I refer to machines I am generally referring to an inflexible approach to solving problems, not so much how computers execute instructions. As humans I think we need the ability to be messy

What would be really cool is building visual layout tooling for CSS frameworks...something along the lines of jetstrap or layoutit but perhaps more generic...it would have the ability to flexibly define components and their design time rend

Were you at the social innovation lab kickoff at Hopkins a few weeks back? I thought I saw a booth for Reify Health.

Haha...the logo similarity is pure coincidence... Incidentally some time back I posted about the similarities between Google and Microsoft logos: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6678308 :)

I wont argue about your experience in the class room but both styles of programming have been around for about the same length of time and yet their adoption rates speak volume. We can debate this ad infinitum and probably wont come to an a

Sure if it was easy for people to think functionally then functional programming is without a doubt more elegant. But elegance doesn't negate the fact that the reasoning model demanded by functional programming isn't friendly to t

I agree, that's why I was asking which class of developers they are targeting... My company is building an IDE that is purely about productivity, specifically for building business web applications. Check my profile for link.

Very cool but I am afraid this is geek candy that would not fly for mere mortals. When you say next-gen IDE do you mean for a certain class of developers? The problem with these type of development tools is that it moves your brain from thi

I am the founder of Crudzilla Software (check my profile for link). Our product is a browser based web development tool that comes with its own middleware/framework with a UI built just for it. I think this approach while not as gener

I think there is a difference, Sacha Cohen (of Borat fame) plays a mega-douchebag but AFAIK he doesn't have a reputation of actually being one. Their tactic may not be to your liking but they aren't the first to adopt characters a

I think the ridiculous outfit and antics is part of their shtick...I am sure they are aware that they look and act ridiculous. If there is a point to criticize them on, it would be that they are making fun of rappers and rap/hip-hop cu

Count me amongst those who shared that impression...my impression hasn't changed much! It obviously isn't completely stupid or completely useless but its utility is still shockingly low especially when you consider its stock marke

I have been programming for about 15 yrs as well but I have never actually cared much for programming. Programming for me has always been a means to an end, my primary passion has always been products and I find whenever I have a product id

Unless the religious person is genuinely interested (rear) in why I don't share their belief, my preference generally is to avoid religious discussions altogether.

Thanks, Layoutit looks particularly interesting.

You mean WYSIWYG editor developed using bootstrap? I read the title as meaning a WYSIWYG editor for developing with bootstrap, which would actually be awesome... Smart visual tooling for a framework such as bootstrap would be quite nice.

I hope that was a joke because I don't see how that would be a smart thing to do even for the purpose of investigative journalism. Unless he or she has a way to quickly call mayday if things start to go wrong which they most likely wil

Yea, those are issues that were considered including regulations...but I think ultimately those by them self would not be a reason not to give it a shot. If the business picks up then you can address those concerns. All the new ride sharing

By the way, did you guys consider package delivery, instead of just people? I did a b-school project on that concept, ie RideJoy but for package delivery. My test route was going to be I-95. Old beta site: http://web.archive.org&

Doesn't seem like you failed out right, it seems you had real traction so I am a bit baffled that you didn't try harder to make it work (at least it seems that way from your post). I am thinking you could have worked something out

Yes most of the source code is included with the product. There is a small portion of it reserved for commercial entities, mainly the source code for our middleware, but even that will be included in the future.

When people are labeled geniuses, independent evidence is important, especially when they've become a cause célèbre. Geniuses generally have a body of work to stand on, not just a friend/family/colleague opinion.

Nothing in that piece to suggest Snowden was a "A Genius Among Geniuses"...on what basis does his genius rest? AFAIK there is no record of Snowden doing any kind of work out there that'll suggest he knew anything about comput

I read through the comments and see you are catching a lot of flack for being closed source and daring to charge. My advice, do what you think makes sense for your company. You seem to have already done some cursory market research and I am

I won't get into the emacs debate since I am not sure I even know what it is about. But I think browser editors are the wave of the future, for the same reasons web software has been widely successful despite all shortcomings. I am the

Different people have different needs in terms of how much human interaction they need. Ask yourself, before your move, were you around a lot of people most of the time and did you enjoy it? I would say maybe join some meetup social groups,
