Let's see. 1 generation => Lots of compassion. 6 billion years => no compassion. So somewhere in between. How about you?

Not really. I am expecting my grandkids to still be the same species.

Who is "we" exactly? Go back in time far enough and you will find your ancestors are of a different species. So why are we throwing a pass to some future "alien" species? Is this some sort of cosmic chain letter we just received? The argume

Second that. All tiling window mangers. Much more efficient.

Are you a dev? Try awesome. Invest two hours of confusion and RTFM and you may never go back.

Hutton's book is excellent (and thin!). Work through that and you will learn about some deep stuff without even realizing it.

If anybody would like to run something like this at Hacker Dojo in Mtn. View, let's discuss.

You're giving to much credit to Madison. There were a couple of other Fathers around. Plus the Senate has evolved a lot since those days. Overall I think the gridlock is overrated. If we get some bone headed politicians actually passing law

Odd. I had this problem in 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and it went away when I upgraded to 10.7 (Lion). The most obvious symptom is the machine does not seem to be able to make use of the inactive memory (the blue slice of the pie in Activity Monit

It certainly would if only one bank did it. However such a rule would have to be evenly applied. My belief is that this would drive down volatility in markets since it would end the game of "Old Maid" in a crisis. Depending on how many inst

The solution is close to hand and it does not involve regulation--at least the kind that regulators want. The solution is transparency. Just make all the big banks report their actual transaction on a live feed. This simple solution would h

I am one of the Directors. Hacker Dojo is a non-profit community center--a hacker space. It has a Board of Directors to keep the lights on and the IRS happy, and its members vote on operating policies. The Dojo is currently running a campai

Really long article, but missed an important point. Technology has atomized the required scale of a new company with reasonable ambitions. It costs cents on the dollar to accomplish what would have taken a scale (10mm+) investment to get do

Can anybody explain to me how much value I can give the user in a "gamified" app before it is considered gambling?

Why do these articles alway hide the cap table?

One idea: White room. Similar to copyright avoidance.

We need an independent invention defense. If I can show I had no knowledge of your patent and came up with the idea on my own then it must have been obvious. If 2 other parties did also, then it must of been painfully obvious.

Cross compilation is not yet supported. You want to build on osx/intel and target ios/arm. Not yet. ghc still needs to target the platform it was built on.

I learned this a long time ago: "If you want to get something done ask a busy person to do it."

Very true. And a few remaining A+ devs ended up with high job security since there were some systems they were very slow to redo and they were afraid something might break.

To me the biggest lesson from APL is to always try to manipulate the largest data structure you can your hands on. For example, don't think about for-loops, think about 'map'. When you can do that, life is good. The limitations of the langu

Morgan Stanley used a variant of APL called A+. It was used quite extensively in parts of the firm. They open-sourced it a while back. http://www.aplusdev.org/

In this post-material economy, attention is what is scarce. Quality interactions are scarce. Of course we will are not quite there yet, and the material economy is becoming more influenced by externalities like carbon output. Both trends ar
