Have a look at Elm. That looks like a fairly promising alternative to some of this mess. I don't think you can get away from CSS and HTML5 though.

If you have a dog that you care about, you will want to go home from time to time to check up on the well-being of the dog. However, if the pet is in the office, then 10-hour, 12-hour or longer days stop being an issue. You can just walk ov

User does a git force push and bad things happen to the repo. Naturally git and github are at fault for allowing this to happen? It seems a better solution is not to do a force push or to turn on 'protected branches' in github tha

You don't have a plan so it would be unwise to leave. You say your emergency fund is deficient, why not figure out how to grow that to a safe margin over the next six months or so? You are failing phone screens. Specifically what field

What was the problem you were trying to solve when you decided to create Stanza? Google Go's story was that they wanted a lowest-common-denominator language for use by their mixed-skill-level development pool. C was written so that som

Are former Fed Chairman Bernanke's comments on the cause of the Great Depression another case of a 'just so' story? Why would it be so hard to believe that the Fed could cause massive changes in the market? http://

Uber is being sued a lot because they have a high valuation, and they are rightly seen as a good target for either a legal shakedown or a big win in court.

It is only a partial solution. You need the pip and virtualenv packages along with a private PyPI repository. Binary wheels make it so that you don't have to clutter any environments except for build servers with compilers and other bu

Use PyPICloud or DevPI to host your built binaries. Wheels have another advantage that you don't install any dev tools in your production environments (no need for compiler tools). The only annoying thing is that there isn't any w

You can get a government contract. Normally this would not be available to you even if you could handle the work because of how contracting for the government works. What I will find interesting is if they solve the contract vehicle/pa

Don't underestimate the value of experience. While failing must certainly have hurt, you have actually learned more than if everything had worked out. Whatever you do, be sure to take a bit of time to regroup before you jump into anoth

The wrong people are working on this problem. The only ones who think about it are typically programmers who have made their peace with the machines as they are today. The interface of code seems simple and logical with little reason to try

I bet you now know a lot about parsing and the relational schemas and managing models now. You'll hit a problem again where this turns out to be valuable knowledge. Even a failed experiment if the problem is interesting enough is fruit

Gold is durable, and it is shiny and pretty - trinkets and baubles made out of it look good. Humans throughout history have regarded it as desirable and have prized it. This sort of cross-cultural widespread agreement is what gives it its v

Once you have a currency that isn't controlled by any one single government, then they all have to behave themselves better with respect to financial management. That is the real point of one of these schemes - to make all the governme

It should also be noted that in a real crisis, getting gold out of a gold hoard will prove problematical, especially if the vault is geographically distant from you. Likewise storing a couple tons of gold under your bed isn't terribly

The alternative is to have the government say-so (fiat) to back your currency. The U.S. dollar has value because the government can levy taxes and they say it has value. When there are physical assets backing the currency, it is less amenab
