I had this friend who called up to talk about an idea. I listened for about 20-30 mins, made what i thought were meaningful questions, then asked him, i have an idea too and if he wants to listen? He said, he'll call back in an hour and was

Thanks, i realized i don't love software in that sense to keep up with it at the pace it moves. Your comment was the seed crystal to trigger the crystallization.

Exactly... but, i can imagine how someone who is obsessed with keeping his rss feed reads all read will have a problem.(much like email). I personally have found it useful to have a limit of not more than 100 posts a month.If i do, i unsubs

I would call it more like N.A.D.D( http://www.randsinrepose.com/archives/2003/07/10/nadd.html ). I have seen ADD kids(with experiments being run on them) and realized calling myself ADD is an exaggeration.

Information and the greed to soak up more... that has been my biggest distraction so far... working on fixing it.but it's rather hard to observe the subtle difference between productivity vs reading articles from YN/LinkedIn

//Of course this is my view after having spent non-trivial amounts of time making code beautiful, modular and reusable instead of trying to solve the problem at hand. I can identify with that feeling. working at a startup made me realize th

Interesting CieLAB (Never heard of it before,but just looking through it). Function of two variables, yeah that makes sense as neurologically we have found only two types of neural cells in the retina (rods and cones). http://en.wikipedia.o

While agree with a lot of the essence of the post,(Having fought them myself) I'll just observe some of the extreme criticisms reeks of developer-operations fight. And would recommend you consider reading about the devops movement.

@grovulent: I am willing to engage the idea. But the amount of suppression(of contradictions) your referred post demands is too high(that i did not finish it). I believe it was the same for the other poster. May be you can express it diffe

Well, IMO, "human nature" is to vague a term. I would say, it's more like, the tendency of majority to look for simplistic numbers/variables/quantities(P/E ratio,quarterly earning etc..). which pulls the public corporations towards local op

Well perhaps google search style online suggestions for existing posts will help.. i don't like forcing people to search, besides, people might just learn to hit the search and skip buttons from muscle memory.

I once remember taking over maintenance of a previous project and being handed 20-25 pages of minute details(mostly meaningless to anyone but a newbie to the s/w). But no mention of what happens overall. I spent a day to come up with a work

I really won't add too many links to all the comments here. But Given you mention physics and some RA experience, i will say Haskell may not be as hard as a few others think. (i.e. If my idea of what it takes to do complete physics and/or c
