Just for reference, Mat Schaffer has had a similar project for about a year, same basic goal: https://github.com/matschaffer/zundle He also uses it to build a nice default zsh profile here: https://github.com/matschaffer/zsh-matschaffer

This is why transaction fees will increasingly be important as BTC matures, after all 21 Million are gone the only reward for "mining" will be the award of all transaction fees paid for transactions in that block, so much like the old west,

I submitted a story last week I was a little disappointed got no comments or upvotes, but if this ( http://thenextweb.com/shareables/2012/11/06/evil-high-speed-... ) is what robots in labs can do no, then things will continue to be exciting

I'm still reading the article, but as a Rubyist who only knows a bit of Python, my impression is that the comparison of 1.8 vs 1.9 to Py2 vs Py3 is kind of unfair to Python... 1.9 wasn't THAT big a change in most respects, only a few backw

It is strange and not so strange, and not always such an illusion... perhaps we can blame nature, but though form should follow function, and much good is hidden and much ugliness made pretty, but it's a mistake to think that they are entir

I hear what you're saying about only wanting the most "correct" version, and no doubt that's how most people feel when looking for information, but about some things you have an ability and perhaps an obligation to contribute to deciding wh

I'm interested, but no idea how much help I'll be :-) Feel free to ping me and would love to try and help, as I've been wanting some context to learn and play with Julia since finding out about it, and being able to do web work in it would

Have you checked out Random Hacks of Kindness? ( http://rhok.org ) I had similar ideas with a project of mine 6 or so months ago and built a version/part of my idea at a startup weekend ( https://github.com/bglusman/diffapp ) before I knew

better yet, also Dijkstra, "The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim."

Hi all, just finished Mendicant University's core skills course, and this was my personal project for the course... it tries to help you and others avoid anti-patterns that you can define formally by example. I don't expect it will work for

yes! Though I just discovered the other day you can use the --binstubs option which obviates the need to use bundle exec in the project

Sounds like you've got some good ideas, I figured you might :-) I dunno how I'd characterize Enjyn, probably a good experience but basically a failure. I think I allowed myself to be persuaded by my partners (against my instincts, but I p

This is awesome! My first startup was a kickstarter competitor (enjyn.com) and something like this is one of the big things I wanted to do for code! My tentative plan was not to just make it for coders though, and to break things down, so

OK, this might be a stupid/ignorant question, but what do they mean by "[it seems very unlikely to be true that] if a quantum wavefunction were purely a statistical tool, then even quantum states that are unconnected across space and time w

I signed up for the program when I read that story, and just sent my cheek swabs in (4 of them!) this past weekend... seems like a no brainer if you actually want to make a difference in the world :-) I wonder if there's a decent solution o

Excellent point on the skeuomorphism, though I'm not sure what the alternative is. He mainly focuses on all these things we don't have to learn to know how to use, but for any kind of sophisticated functionality I think some learning will

We've been talking about gloves with accelerometers in them at work, but now that you mention it I expect that has much the same problem as Kinect, though I suppose you could add some feromagnetic material to the gloves and give at least su
