As someone involved in the field, I agree on the need for a better theory, but disagree with your claim that "there's no getting away from the wet lab". The traditional wet lab absolutely has to be gotten away from, because t

Your first link claims that city services are increasingly more reliant on tax revenue than non-tax revenue to pay the bills. Two immediate reasons for the increased reliance on tax revenue: 1) Seattle is using "public private partners

No one considers criticizing Saudi Arabia to be Islamophobic, and no one considers criticizing Israel to be antisemitic. There are Muslims and Jews who criticize respectively both of those countries policies. It's also somewhat difficu

Looks really cool to me! I love the beautiful UI -- what tools did you use to build it in C++? I am very interested in learning more about UI design in C++.

I don't do any web-dev, so I apologize for the simplistic question: what alternatives to JavaScript exist for web-dev? The article hints to there being many alternatives, and that JavaScript may not be right for every project...but I c

Yeah, brush up on pointers a tad bit (just have a look at some youtube videos, honestly), if you are uncomfortable with them, and then you should be good to go.

There is a difference between late middle age and deathbed. If it is a hackneyed cliche (and I wouldn't be surprised if it is), I would like to see evidence for it (first hand anecodotal evidence is sufficient, but from someone who is
