I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I'm suggesting that it be considered a characteristic, and not an external force. This way, we don't grow dualistic, differentiating between oneself and one's brain. I guess it'

I'm not a fan of the perspective from which this article is written. Where the author writes "X is affected by ADHD", I'm inclined toward "X has a short attention span", or "X is hyperactive". The sam

No, not at all. It's the other way around, really. Those who don't use Meteor for their projects may not be able to without trashing existing codebases.

At this point, what percentage of web development can't/shouldn't be done with Meteor? It seems like everything else is obsolete in comparison. The only non-Meteor cases I can think of involve especially large scale.

Because gob encodings begin with type specifiers, all objects of the same type number are grouped together. That's the only guarantee made across all types. For strings and numeric arrays, lexicographic order is maintained, yes. But be

The problem with analogy-based programming is the lack of determinacy. There are no guarantees when it comes to abstract, knowledge-based inference. And so many concepts in modern programming would have to be abandoned to make this shift. U

With any improvement in programming language technology, we narrow the disparity between human and computer representations of logic. In it's simplest form, this is the premise of language designers. The biggest difficulty with current

This a surprisingly promising list of ideas, especially for an incubator to suggest. Things like internet infrastructure, ideally, are in the non-profit sector. And though YC does fund non-profits, I can't imagine they'd be happy

I was thinking less along the lines of secret views, and instead, on how many people hold socialist-like beliefs without associating themselves (internally, not outwardly) with the word "socialist". In the modern U.S., "socia

I'm sorry but your final paragraph turned me away. It's one thing if you're looking for fun side projects to play around with, but asking others to provide income-generating ideas seems unethical to me.
