If you think of technology progress as a global simulated annealing problem, it is ok to step back a bit to get out of the local maxima. Web Dev may have taken us back 20-30 years in certain areas but once caught up, it can take us much fur

In my experience, the business-minded founder runs the circuit generating interest while the tech-minded founder keeps building, recruiting. Both are equally valuable when done properly.

About seven years ago, I was at a sushi bar and struck up a conversation with an older gentleman sitting next to me. He told me he was a developer and created systems for USPS. I am always fascinated by the technology used in large scale sy

What if companies that do not wish to do evil adopted unspoken signaling mechanism for silent protests? What if every time n NSLs were fulfilled since start of year, they donated to EFF? What if $1 was donated to EFF for every 1 GB of data

Thanks! Believe it or not, your one statement made me feel more assured than all the press releases I've seen so far.

EFF is certainly doing a great job right now, so donations are definitely going to help. Let me ask you this - do you feel 100% comfortable that nobody outside of Google can read your personal gmail?

I don't want any more fluff "no direct access" emails. I just want these questions to be answered with a YES/NO: 1. Is there any way that someone outside of Google, can get a copy of an email I sent from my gmail to my o

If this entire PRISM thing is fabrication, then it is the best thing to have happened to personal liberties and Internet privacy since encryption. Until the recent shooting in CA, all the major networks were going on and on about PRISM. No

Actually my code ends up looking pretty much like yours. I use CoffeeScript and was writing a simplified JS equivalent off the top of my head since this post was about JS. Similar to your Renderer, I have a DrawForm class that iterates thro

I use something similar when rendering form fields dynamically. draw_checkbox = function() {} draw_radio = function() {} draw_select = function() {} draw_field = function(type) { this['draw_' + type](); }

I would have loved to hear more about that. Couple of smart people discussing the merits of git-fs would be interesting. Ceaseless arguments about vi vs. emacs would get boring.

Sure. But you can call xbox or ping-pong "the game" if you want and it has as much impact on keeping people as "the music". I don't want to listen to any music when I'm coding or thinking and I despise being judged for my taste (or lack the

I don't get how "the music" and "the chat" are good reasons to stick around while ping-pong table and xbox aren't.
