I find fasting very easy on weekends, very difficult during the week, because the 9-5 routine implicitely stipulates when you should eat. Solving the situation where people need to spend 70% of their waking hours in a job would have huge fl

Elixir/Phoenix is the spiritual successor to Rails. Same philosophy of batteries included, developer productivity focussed etc. But with lots of great new shiny things, for example websockets is built directly into the framework, its n

Hotmail addresses used to expire after a period of inactivity lol. I pranked one of my high-school buddies by re-registering his old email. At first he was just very confused, then I realised he had probably used that address as a recovery

Tell that to Ericsson, who (warning: unsubstantiated claim ahead, but its a widely held industry belief) have had their entire business gutted by Huawei who basically copied entire designs from Ericsson core-mobile equipment

I would like to thank the Javascript community for finally clearing up the whole "JS is not Java" debacle by just throwing in the towel and becoming Java, even if they call it Typescript now. JS sure is such a modern language, you

If not using GA doesnt affect your page rank, I don't see why Google would need (or even want) to be secretive about it. Only if it does hurt your ranking (how is that huge antitrust lawsuit today feeling Big G??) will they need to be

Would love to see Google embrace Elixir, the Erlang runtime doesnt play very nicely with Kubernetes but gives so many benefits. If they can get it so that you can set up a VPS of linked Erlang nodes, it would be everything I need

How do you evenly split a quantity of something (e.g. drugs) when you have no scales? One person does the splitting, then presents both halves to the other person, who can choose either one as the half they keep. Everyone is incentivized to

This is a fallacy because there isnt some level of comfort people want to hit to comfortably retire, it will always be relative to the society around them.

So many people arguing here, completely missing the point of science. Whether to attempt to prive OR disprove Glass' ideas, one must think 'how can I test this idea experimentally?'

There is a lot of old tech out there that could be implemented and would probably provide ROI, but isnt. So many businesses are still running on paper! My point is that industry isnt just sitting around waiting for new tech so they can get
