Neither of those. But thanks anyway! I seem to recall the blog post being by a guy who moved to Tupelo or some place like that. This was about 5-6 years ago.

This reminds me of a blog post (that I can't seem to find now) where he complains we've gotten so far away fro solving the hard problems that nobody is really doing it because it's too lucrative to make stupid apps that distr

Apparently there was/is a scam where people would walk in front of your car and then sue you for hitting them. So everybody started putting in dash cams to be able to provide evidence against the scammers.

I think what the Rebol guys found was that it was generally tough to get into by experience programmers who were used to looking at C-style syntax. New programmers, however, tended to pick it up very quickly.

My understanding is that when compiled it is nearly as fast as C. But my feeling on "fast" is generally; how fast does the solution need to be? I have a co-worker who complained that more business logic client-side would slow dow

Is the original source code that Tim Berners-Lee wrote available anywhere? I would think it would be an interesting read.

I can't help but wonder if this went down: Elon Musk: I want to buy Solar City. Can I get a family discount? Lyndon Rive: Everyone gets a family discount. -- Sometime later -- Lyndon Rive: Hey Elon, can I get a family discount o

Agreed. One of their first tag lines was, "We Set The Standrd." It's in their DNA to avoid conforming to standards they didn't define.

Sure, there are attention whores but the existence of an outlier of people doesn't seem to me to be a very good reason to shame most people for something that our bodies are designed to do. The parking ticket thing reminds me of a teen

So many people here admitting they cry with an undertone that they feel various levels of bad for doing it. @donatj even said his wife makes fun of him when he cries. We have got to make this a non-issue. Its so insane to me that in Weste

Except, as Bruce Schneier notes, there were zero 9-11 level attacks on the US prior to 9-11 as well. 9-11 was a statistical fluke.

It probably wasn't even anyone that high up in those companies. It was probably some PR guy or gal. But the company spends so much in advertising with the publication that the mere mention of withdrawal of ad dollars was enough to get

This and other stories lately are making it clear that the FBI is becoming a military organization instead of a police organization. But the real problem is that their enemy is the American people.

I'm not an active Java programmer but my exposure to the JDK has left me with the impression that it was more important to make it academically correct over practical. When I looked at the Java spec I thought to myself, "What the

I had to spend over $6000 last year to get an implant because I let a crook dentist do a root canal when he should have referred me to an endodontist. The endodontist that I eventually hat to go to (after infection had set up) who tried to

One of the things you get from ACT is; if your mind can switch from "this is fun and interesting" to "this does not feel safe" then it can just as easily switch back.

Along those lines I would recommend Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a more specific approach to flying anxiety.

Nurses generally get treated terribly compared to doctors and others in the profession, despite the fact they are often the ones who are actually taking care of you (doctors diagnose, nurses treat). I guess it's because they're co

As an early developer of SourceForge I'm glad to see these changes. GitHub is great, but it needs a real competitor and I've always felt SF could be that if done right.

This company is starting to approach Theranos-levels of hype. Do they really have such amazing tech that they can garner these kinds of valuations? Sure, the demos look amazing but they're a far cry from a production product.

I have to agree. It's pretty disgusting how the owners threaten cities until they get a new hundreds million dollars stadium, and how the NFL, MLB, and other leagues are complacent in this. But what's worse, far worse, is how the

Word to the wise: fix those bugs. Digging into that old code will teach you a ton about coding and your product. Yeah, it can be painful at first but you may find it to be just as rewarding as writing new code in time.

And we all know how fast that escalated. Seriously. They should probably find themselves a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while.
