It's an issue for people at large to have this shared point of failure, but not for any particular individual.

I think we're starting to see the need for 'laborer' programmers. There's a lot of relatively unskilled glue/laborious coding that needs to be done. When you need someone to hammer a bunch of code out for you, you d

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but I've been working on a collaborative coding environment for clojurescript lately and am implementing the algorithm from this (incredibly readable) paper https://neil.frase

I'm curious why you say that Clojure(script) is not for browsers? The only time I've really had a problem with Clojurescript is when I'm doing something that heavily interacts with an imperative browser api (like webGL). And

'Lack' of frameworks. I always think it's kind of funny when starting a new Clojure web project, I have to explicitly insert a middleware for parsing parameter strings into a Clojure data structure, and then another middlewar

I don't mean to single you out, but I just think it's bizarre that people cease to be humans when they go to work and have an ultimate duty to their organization above human dignity. Or that there is this bifurcation of work reali

A rich person can throw money at this problem or at least has the financial and temporal capacity to research it and gain an academic understanding. I know the conventional wisdom is to build something that you would use yourself, but towar

I think it's because it has historically been low-status work and stigma about working on the front-end persists. The majority of people I've worked with are eager to throw up their hands and commiserate with others about their la

Oh you're an opera user. That explains the anger. Anyways, it's fixed now! edit: also want to clarify that I don't blindly use the user-agent string for browser detection and this was a bug in my app code. Nothing to do with

Frank Gehry definitely doesn't have to make a name for himself. I'm surprised by how unattractive this is. Though, come to think of it, I can't picture the interior of any Frank Gehry buildings while I can see lots of exterio

Triggering psychosis != causing longterm mental illness. I think parties on both sides of the debate over the safety of psychedelics would agree that they can and often do trigger psychosis. And both parties probably agree, at this point, t

This is tangential, but... We had a futurist from Intel visit our small startup about two years ago for a future planning/predicting exercise. I think we were not the correct audience for these exercises though, due to the small size o

I've been pleasantly surprised by how performant clojurescript and its various react wrappers are. I'm able to sort, display and animate 10000 divs on a pretty old macbook pro with really simple code on this page http:/&#x2F

All these microwaves just need a more complex 'plate spinner' that actually translates the rotating plate across field lines. Kind of like a spirograph... http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd371/benice_

Do location-based services work in the NYC subway? I suppose you could also infer locations and transfers based on train schedules and tower handoff times upon emerging from stations. I mean, if there is a 21-day gestation period between i
