Personally, I've always wanted a vehicle with the speed and fuel efficiency approaching a motorcycle and a 5-star crash safety rating. Motorcycles are a death trap, and I refuse to ride one despite their many advantages.

When the multi-player asteroids story was published, people were talking about Firebase, and having never heard of it, I started googling and found this: http://www.cubeia.com/index.php/products/firebase A scalable real-time game server w

I programmed the first year of my start-up using only dragon naturally speaking 9 and vim (dns 10 didn't play nice with vim). I could actually program at a comparable speed to what I can do by typing. Only activities that required the mouse

The real reason Linux lags windows is application support. Windows 8 seems to have every intention of being a train wreck, but Linux will benefit little because users will not upgrade from Windows 7. Linux is not an alternative as long as u

Why would creating your own programming language for a virus be a good thing? If viruses are the only thing written in this language, wouldn't the language make it easier for the anti-virus companies to detect it without having to worry as

The real problem is that web design is about 100x harder than it should be. I'm not saying there shouldn't be room for the artists to outshine the rest of us, but there's no excuse for why placing elements with css is so hard. Different bro

It looks very nice, but I'm a little confused as to what should be included as a service. My website has forums. Do I need to say I collect user comments? Do I need to do that for all user-contributed information? How specific does it needs

I grew up playing playing the first MMORPGs where each level or skill took hours upon hours of repetitive button mashing. Hence, I learned to "macro," and my automation programs gradually grew more and more advanced.

I also think that using html tags is a poor practice. That said, Dojo does not require it for anything. I use dojo daily, and I find everything to be well-written and high quality. It's the documentation that has always been a train wreck.

Javascript was originally built for the browser and later expanded to other areas. I'm not claiming that python wouldn't need a new standard library to manipulate a browser's dom tree or whatever. That's about all it would need though, so i

I've never understood the point of special browser only languages. Why don't browsers support a sand-boxed python (or insert favorite language x) with some sort of standard dependency management? It already has JIT compilation, is cross-pla

Depression is caused by many things, but exercise helps most people suffering from mild to moderate depression. I would try asking her if she'd help you keep up your new jogging/workout regimen by doing it with you. If she's already fairly

960gs is just a grid system. Bootstrap has a similar grid, but it also has nice styles for everything else. Bootstrap is not targeted at someone with design skills or someone with access to someone with design skills. It's for programmers l

Google Chrome deserves an honorable mention here. I just found out yesterday that chrome's built-in debugger has stack traces. I've been debugging for years with firefox/firebug and forgot how helpful it is to actually know where the source

I switched from rails because I got tired of ruby magic breaking my code in difficult to debug ways. I switched to python because of its emphasis on clarity and readability.

I downloaded the leechblock plugin for firefox to block certain websites during working hours. Now, whenever I load hacker news (or whatever) during working hours it forwards me to a failure motivational poster. It has actually helped me a

That was actually my reason for wanting to go back to school. I wanted to be able to ask questions in case I got stuck learning math. I ended up with horrible math professors (each with 10+ years of experience) and had to teach myself discr

Why are you in school? If your goal is improved career options, stay. If your goal is education, drop out, and teach yourself. I say this as someone who recently chose the latter.

Should we be trying to dismiss terrorism by suggesting it is as equally threatening as bath tubs? Lets pretend I'm a terrorist who is trying to make a point. You're telling me I should be ignored because I haven't killed enough people. Logi

I disagree completely with demoing products this way. The site doesn't suggest what the product does. Because no trust was established with me, I submitted someone else's site, and I still couldn't figure out what I had done. I only noticed

This is really cool man. Would you expand more on what you're planning for local apps? One trend I see now is the reproduction of GUI toolkits in javascript. I feel like the better way would be to properly sandbox python (or whatever) and l

I don't know if books are the best way to go about this. I overcame my shyness with improvisational acting. Consider taking a class. Social encounters become a lot less intimating once you realize you can get away with almost anything as lo

Buffet says the mega rich aren't being taxed enough. Daniel assumes this means "raise the capital gains tax" and argues that it'd hurt a lot more than the mega rich. If there's anything government can do well, it's the ability to tax creati

On a related note, how much of a slashdoting can you expect for posting a link here? There aren't as many registered users as I expected, but it doesn't account for lurkers. When my niche website is finished, I'd like to share it with the h

The strongest part about django has always been (imo) it's documentation. The books that are out currently are simply not as good as the docs on the main site. I suspect this is the main reason there are not new books. If no one is buying d

biljings is right. Exercise is the most effective medicine for mild to moderate depression. It should be the first thing you do when you start to feel gloomy.
