   I'm searching for an efficient (read: not waste my time and affect my means of living) way to do this myself. The easiest way to start is to look for non profits operating in your area - or close to you - ask them to go have coffee wit

   I would sincerely, sincerely suggest to research the MISERY most of our world is in. There are 1 billion people without food or clean water. Imagine what someone with your skills can do to help? You don't need to make any money - and i

   ReactJS is a no-no from the get go. Facebook's Patent grant on what is supposed to be an "open source product" is ridiculous: https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/master/PATENTS . "I

   ... thank you for trying to explain. I am still too thick to get it on first read. I have saved this in Evernote and will keep coming back to it after researching terms etc., until I understand in full.

   Thanks for cutting through the BS, it was suffocating to read the page with the heavy-metal level density of buzzwords.

   I never liked overly broad brushes, I understand the author is angry but calling all recruiters names is, I think, not cool. But, I really enjoyed the funny writing!

   YES. Ebooks are a great idea, but definitely not in the way currently implemented. I hate the idea that XYZ Corp., can start streaming ads into my books or have detailed analytics of which lines I read/skipped/copied/research

    I ran that command: Generating DH parameters, 2048 bit long safe prime, generator 5 This is going to take a long time Haha! It also made my CPU sweat nicely. I Ctrl+C^d after it ran for nearly 10 minutes with no sign of stoppin

    Where have you seen Media outlets talking about Programmers are "geeks" or "nerds"? I recall The Register calling scientists "boffins" but not using the other two words for Coders. I have absolutely no problem

    Let me give it a non-journalistic stab: "A method of programming where you can safely allow many different, but related computations to occur simultaneously to arrive at a desired result. Thanks to the "safety" aspect, these

    I in fact wonder about the criminals who've already thought of all this, are successfully avoiding anything like this detection and making their $$$. I hope not to fall prey to something like this, incredible just how many risks there

    I'm finding my mind blown with this novel way of using a single point in space to represent both X & Y axes based on context. Thanks for the explanation!

    In the "scatterplot matrix" visualization, I am having trouble understanding what the X & Y axes are. Please explain the triangle of scatterplots being formed using the 7 dimensions?
