   I've built apps with Backbone, Marionette, Angular, and React. All very interesting and innovative. But for me none of them beats the productivity of a 'component' system built from simple jQuery plugins.

   My broadband service is terrible. Far to expensive, it is slow and drops packets. And the competitive environment sucks. Comcast and Regulators: go to hell. I'll vote for any politician who is interested in improving the situation.

   The tech industry isn't perfect - not by a long shot. But tech companies aren't putting the climate at risk. Tech companies didn't crash the economy. Over the past decades there isn't another industry that has delivere

   Money is an enormous source of suffering. Worldly life and the pursuit of money is a hamster wheel. Poverty and service is the only freedom. I'm not kidding.

    Internet surveillance was widely known, but not a matter of public interest until Snowden. The climate denial network is also widely known, but not a matter of public interest. There has to be some sort of catalyst to bring climate denial

    I don't know if Loren is sincere, or if he's part of a disinformation campaign. Either way, I don't believe his reassurances. I think NSA surveillance is first and foremost a tool to control the American citizenry. The nex

    Question: If I were to deploy a rails app using docker, can I put the whole stack in a single container (ruby/postgres/redis/sidekiq/etc.) Or do I need a separate container for each process?

    My experience is that weed, alcohol and hard drugs were all part of the mix - an inseparable combination. And no - I did not see anyone killed by crime, or lives ruined by the legal system, or some other theory of yours. Just people who dr

    So passionate for your weed, as if its the most important thing there is. And yes I am in favor of more restrictions on both drugs and alcohol. I'm opposed to the notion that drugs and alcohol are consequence-free substances. In the

    I lived in Michigan and saw what free-flowing drugs will do to a town. I saw friends and family killed by drugs and alcohol - communities torn apart. You legalizers who cite theories and internet sources make me laugh. So passionate for yo

    I've got addicts and alcoholics in my family. My cousin died from overdose. I've got close friends who killed themselves with drink. Lots of you do too. Exciting times? IMHO, the last thing we should celebrate is new ways to g

    Yes you can start as a professional programmer at 40. You can't get hired, but you can do consulting or start a business. (at least in Silicon Valley IMHO) I retrained as a programmer in my 40s. My experience is that I can seriously

    I tried to like Erlang, but the syntax turned me off. Elixir was just what I needed. Makes the power of Erlang accessible. I like Elixir's docs, tooling, and syntax, and look forward to seeing it progress.

    I'd say: people don't like change. Creativity is change. Change takes energy, and there's a fininte supply of energy to go around. If you can introduce creative changes that require little energy to adopt, you're on to

    RJS was a great technology in 2006. But now RJS is a dead-end and its time to let it go. Replace RJS with jQuery (and the like) and focus on solving modern problems like concurrency and meteor-style push.

    Does Washington want a strong tech industry? Our own Senator Feinstein regularly votes against the interests of Silicon Valley. I see a Washington with lots of enthusiasm for Military and Oil/Gas, but not much for Technology.
