But isn't that the Clients' problem?. His blog post is very clear, he claims he has some specific optimization skills on iOS apps and they're worth $1000.I have no idea or experience on iOS to judge whether he's right. Also do note, he may

I would say, there's the question of personal branding that has to be considered. I know that sounds like hand-wavy, marketing speak,but hear me out. In every situation, there are ambiguities, and ideally we should be able to rationally con

OT: I haven't read this specific article, but have been on DVORAk for about a year and am happy about it. But one of the problems i have noticed in arguments for and against these kb layouts is the hand size. they vary from individual, and

Hi, Can you elaborate a little more on some use-cases or some examples from your troubles?. Am writing a web application(moderately complex) in python and find myself annoyed by the amount of unit test cases needed. My reaction so far has b

I don't think that's how this works. AFAIU, this works because it literally wipes out your HIV-infected immune system and replaces it with a new one(not HIV-resistant per se). Correct me if i am wrong.

I agree, fiction has its place and relevance. Though my use of it has been to remove a lot of preconceived notions i have about a current problem. i.e: i have a decision to make and can't make up my mind, i go read a fiction(something i've

As another commenter pointed out it may not be possible, but it certainly is "more useful" in most everyday situations. System 1 type thinking vs System 2 type thinking( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_process_theory ) is relevant here.

Can't agree more... I care about prime numbers and also about visualizations. But this title is misleading. The article is not about patterns in prime numbers, but a way of visually/geometrically representing prime numbers, which is interes

While I agree with your point Open-source is not a silver bullet. I don't see anything other than Open-source as a good enabler. Yes, pushing back is possible with closed source as well. The real question becomes, which is harder? and for w
