I think you just proved it is a real thing. Nobody but an addict could bothered posting such a well analysed comment on an obscure forum.

Correct. And because I can't have conversations on twitter I find it very tedious.

Weird. My opinion is that he is a fantastic teacher. I did his Stanford AI course online and it was by far the best learning experience I have had.

On top of that, the most likely thing is that they will increase the GST to fund this, which of course has the most relative impact on the less wealthy.

We sure have our share of rednecks on sundecks in Australia. The only thing more retrograde and embarrassing is the fact that Abbott was going around trying to form some sort of 'coaltion of climate change denying countries', who

It is well organised, robust, structured, with lots of unit / integration tests. I still tiptoe though, because in my experience over-confidence is a recipe for disaster.

How about, so long labels and snake oil, hello independent thought. Work out a process that suits your project and team members, evolve, drop the buzz.

Quick. Everybody get out their 'web standards' sticks and lets all beat this guy up. The web must be done with standards, otherwise someone might not be able to use some web pages on some device at some point in time, and that i

I don't know it there is a good solution to this problem. I personally had an issue about 8 years ago, when at the time I started looking for a new job. I couldn't understand why recruiters weren't contacting me after I had

Yes, never dismiss it. In fact a lot of the time over-engineering is just another form of technical debt, but it also has an upfront cost as well. At least the under engineered solution is cheap up front. I would much rather come across s

Something that gives a counter opinion to group think is never appreciated. Better we all sit around and stroke our egos, with every statement implying how magnificent we are and at the same time implying how everyone else is churning out

I think analogies generally suck. Better to analyze things for what they are. Analogies are good for explaining difficult to understand concepts, but all to often people say, x is analogous with y, y has something good/bad about it,

Are you talking Java or javascript? I don't know if its that surprising that js isn't more popular. Html5 hasn't been supported by browsers for nearly as long. I've done the Udacity html5 game course and worked with fl

I get the feeling you just like having a rant about unions. As the parent said, unions aren't relevant for software startups. BTW, I personally don't like unions. I think they were needed in the past, but now they are just tryin

They are geeks not nerds.

I would argue that its a geek game, not a nerd game. Either way I have wasted dozens of hours playing, and it taught me how tedious other people can be.

My father is 80 this year and still works 4-5 days a week. He was a commercial banker until he got a golden handshake at around 60. He retired for about 5 years but got bored and since then has been working as a book keeper / account

Interesting enough, but can someone explain the title. I assume it is some reference to tree hugging but I don't get it.

It is quite arbitrary to mourn someone you don't know who was a relative of someone else you don't know. However I am inclined to agree, just let it go, if people want to mourn let them mourn, even if it just bandwagon jumping.

Where I come from, friends don't let friends use singletons (drugs are okay though). Show me a singleton and I'll show you a doubleton, no wait, its a tripleton....

I've done the same. I use gmail a lot, I have an Android phone and I was using desktop Chrome for years. However I started to notice things that worried me, for example I would be using Chrome on my PC but definitely not logged into G

Well to be fair the rest of my trip was much less eventful, but there were two other incidents of note. In Manhattan, whilst watching the cockroaches in my hotel room and perusing the brown paper bag full of porn mags I found behind the bed

I don't know if my anecdote constitutes data, but the first time I went to the US in 1999 I landed at JFK, hired a car, was driving along slowly looking for an entrance to a freeway to Brooklyn. A guy in a convertible pulled out in fro
