The word 'crunch' is used so frequently in the article that the repetition becomes strangely hypnotic and the word becomes disassociated from meaning. Occassionally using 'overtime' instead might have reduced this effect

I liked these kind of articles better when they were called, "X considered harmful"...

It says the record is laser etched from digitised "high definition audio" ... Wouldn't that make it a digital rather than an analog recording?

The realism in the depiction of human figures is incredibly advanced and predates Classical Athens sculpture by 1000 years. Like finding an iPad in Mediaeval England.

This is just a list. There is no curation. No commentary, no analysis, no setting in context.

I remember reading about this at the time and wondering where I could get my hands on the source code. What happened to this? After the burst of publicity and some MIDI samples, EMI seemed to disappear without a trace. Was it all just a hoa

If you have the technical skill - if you can walk the walk, not just talk the talk - then why not?

It took me several passes at the Lifeline Book Fair and an occasional trip to Ebay but I think I have the entire range now. The Usborne books were great fun at the time and still a model, I think, for teaching programming concepts to kids o

Just some questions: 1. How many files can each user share? 2. Is there a file-size limit? 3. Where are the files hosted and are there any privacy guarantees? Are the files encrypted?

ClojureScript and React sound interesting to me, too, and might be a good fit for the rich UI Control Panel page, which will need to handle large JS data-sets and update visualisations quickly. I've been finding that KnockoutJS is a bi

Hi again, To answer your other questions, I have no real plans to monetise this. I did try to raise funding for an 'art/culture travel app' that underpinned Codex but the focus was too niche and I didn't have a graphic d

Hi Ilya, Thank you for your kind words and your excellent feedback re: the chosen platform and the OSS community. To be honest I hadn't thought about the language and platform angle until you mentioned it, but it is definitely somethin

Hi Tuvalle, thank you for your encouragement and for the link to this fascinating resource! Can't wait to open up the dataset and check it out soon. May be possible to import this into the Codex if the data structures are broadly compa

Hi, Thanks for your interest! I have no plans for monetizing the project, partly because I cannot see a meaningful way to do that, but mostly because it is a research endeavour. The code is currently public on my BitBucket repo, and I'

In 2015 I quit my full-time job as an ASP.NET developer to build what I think of as an "atlas of history" for the Italian Renaissance. It is a semantic-web style database build in Neo4j, .NET MVC, and KnockoutJS, and is an attempt

This skirts close to being a circular argument: computers are "fast enough" because people don't need a faster computer; but people don't "need" a faster a computer because faster computers aren't availabl

Those are all good points, but when programmers talk about feeling fraudulent aren't they talking about their level of knowledge and/or competence? I'm not saying that work ethic, tidiness, etc., aren't standards but I s

To paraphrase Groucho Marx: "He may look like a fraud and talk like a fraud but don't let that fool you. He really is a fraud." What I took away from that article was that the root of the feelings of insufficiency, or fraudul

This is both an amazing responsibility for you and a heavy responsibility. You will have the opportunity -- perhaps for the only time in your working life -- to not only have complete control over the technical solution, but if you are pro-

TLDR; If you have to ask, you never will be. I'd concentrate on being the best you can be; that way, others will ask how they can be more like you.

Hi Aaboh, My first impressions were that the site has a clean and friendly design and is easily navigable toward the shopping cart. In terms of reliability, as a consumer I would be asking questions like: "How can I evaluate the qualit
