Graphical programming would be a 'killer app' for any language that can implement it first. Reasoning about code visually will not only make programming more accessible, but it will allow us to apply spatial reasoning skills to the task of

A friend of mine is buying the full set of Knuth's books because some algorithms are only discussed here. So if you're a completist, these are for you.

I believe it is possible to do the startup part time. In fact, if you spend a good deal of your time planning the right actions to make while you're actually working on your startup, you may see better progress than if you're working on it

The relational model is simply the application of set theory and predicate logic to data management. Are you saying that these two branches of math/logic are ugly or that you don't understand them well enough to have a decent opinion?

Do you think that's because it's easy for you personally to generate ideas? Such creative thinking comes more easily to some than to most others.

This seems silly. The guy with the big idea should be handing out peanuts to the code monkeys, not giving them all of his cash. Knowing exactly what the web system should do is far more important than a few programming skills (you can rep

Solution 1: Higher cost, shorter turn around time. Spend the money to hire several programmers to implement your ideas for you. However, keep in mind that you should become technically proficient enough to communicate with and monitor the

How much can we trust a Google-driven 'open' social networking platform? They did purchase doubleclick after all. While these social networks are interesting projects, I don't think it's a good idea to allow a single company like Google t

I believe that ID gets unfairly maligned. As a scientific theory it is a basic statement about probabilities. Simply stated: the probability that life could have evolved to its current state by way of Darwinian evolution is so low as to b

Careful now, such a pronouncement is unscientific. After all, how long did it take for Copernicus's view of things to go from ridiculous to revolutionary?

Stem cell research and cloning. Growing replacement organs and/or cell sets to "repair in place" damaged parts of the human body is going to have the greatest impact in the long haul. The mechanical heart is another wonder from medical sci

It's the only sensible strategy to compete with the likes of Facebook and the Google social network (whenever they finish building it and tying it together via RSS). People only have time/interest in being a part of so many social networks

The US dollar has last between 30% and 45% of its value in the last 5 years depending on which currency you compare it against. This is unfortunate, but not too surprising.

This is awesome! You may be able to improve it further by considering other things besides common comment posters to determine the angle measure for a story. I haven't seen this good of a web information graphic since the treemap used at

Press releases and public announcements on these aggregator websites really aren't good. You need to find some more creative way to generate publicity for your launch. Since you're working on a marketplace, what is some high-profile good

If they've completely rewritten the source code, do you think they would be willing to let you have the rights back to the original version again if/when they decide to shut it down?

This site is neat in that it works simply. However, since this site is largely geared to hackers AND startup founders, what is its target market and how can they make money off of it? Or is the object here to be purchased by Google or one

Even if it takes such a site 2x-4x as long to grow as it would with more expensive marketing, doesn't the fact that what it produces is over and above one's full time employment mean that growing as fast is less critical? After all, with s

Slashdot is useful in that it aggregates content differently than do reddit/digg. As such, you find stories there selected by the editors that the rabid mob at reddit would otherwise ignore. Also, because the comments are moderated and sc
