Listening to Episode 2 right now, so far so good. The player didn't play for me. FF 15.0.1 on Lubuntu 12.04. I had to view source and copy the mp3 URL into my desktop's media player.

Thanks, I stand adjusted. And of course you can use prototypes (objects) for the same intent as classes, which was the source of my error.

Indeed. Even if the police over-reacted, which could mean anything from merely showing up to throwing tear gas, anyone in a mob is free to walk away. There is no obligation to throw bicycles at the police.

"This is approximately the same reason as why I start out writing most of my programs by creating a bunch of types, and why I find dynamic programming languages uncomfortable to use." Classes. There are your types. Python has them. Ruby has

"Continuous deployment, unit testing, debugging, basic programming knowledge, are timeless." The first two are relative new, although they are likely to be seen as timeless after enough time has passed. In fact in the early nineties I was c

Facebook could expand or replace their customer base. Currently their major (only?) customers are companies paying Facebook to place ads in front of people who don't want to see them and may in fact try hard not to see them. Although ads ha

"negativity, bile and cynicism" Sounds like a niche to me. Niches are good.

Or, overall your non-lazy and energetic personality makes you more likely to want to do these manual things, and use that time for those things instead of other things. Which is all good, either way.

"The number of companies, people, administrations, tools, software dedicated to help or support startups is overwhelming. While insomuch a good news (especially for us), I’m worrying somewhat that more people and energy seem to be dedicated

Yes, I thought of it as a cross between beta testing and A/B testing. Or throwing spaghetti on the wall and seeing what sticks. Certainly not basic or serious research, which is probably going on right now somewhere in Google.

It's Sunday, which I have noticed is a day to relax the rules. It's OK.

Damn, that's cool. Somewhat full circle too, in light of the many pdf printer drivers in use today.

I agree with your gentle disagreement with your parent. Google serves ads on top of search results for the same reason that ATT sent bills for phone service: to make money. If you focus on Google's ad serving as their reason to exist, then

Parent's point is that he wants better documentation, and possibly better consistency, on things like breaking lines; breaking lines was just an example to illustrate the larger point.

"How many lives could be saved by directing anti-terrorist organization's funding towards preventing car accidents or other preventable causes of death?" Yeah, but it's harder for the government to spy and control you using infant mortality

I've tried to set up my calendars to start on Monday, over the years. It makes sense, because the two major segments of my life, the work week and the weekend, are each displayed contiguously. And yet I get confused. Probably because I've g

You could vote (any) 3rd party. Not because you hope they win; they won't. And because they won't, a vote for 3rd party is a vote for none of the above (two). Which I think is the best possible vote, because the two current stewards of demo

"There are many (I've lost count) StackExchange sites" To me there's only one, and the answer pages sometimes look different when I get sent in from DDG or Google. My bad, I guess.

I like HN best, some of the subreddits second. I just can't come to like Quora, which is odd because it seems exactly the sort of thing I'd like. The interface is either confusing to me, or I think of it in a way that conflicts with its rea

It's really the most bizarre thing. They built a site with affordances for discussion (although the mods might call them attractive nuisances). It looks every bit like a discussion site. The users clearly want to have discussions, and not j

Interesting that the percentage of a group that claims not to be on FB/TW goes from * a high of 41.7% for the 65+ group. and moves steadily down through the groups to * 27.4% for the 25-34 group. but then jumps back up to * 34.7% for 18-24
