I just checked out your github repo and you've got a really cool project going there. What made you decide to start writing it?

I'd say the best (and safest) way is to find a local mycologist or foraging group and try to sync up with them. Barring that, see if there are any good guides specifically for your area. As a desk guide, rather than an in-the-field gui

I think the problem there is that "you know it when you see it" scales poorly. Humans are (usually) reasonably good at handling "you know it when you see it" heuristics, even if there is disagreement on edge cases. But &

This whole controversy wouldn't even have happened if Wikipedia wasn't controlled by Deletionists. Maybe this will be the help the Wikipedia community needs to take a step back and be a little more relaxed about inclusion. To quot

I live in San Francisco, and get around the city as a pedestrian. I have to cross about 10 streets each way of my commute. If I had to guess, I'd say that I've seen at most 35 cars run red-lights in the last year. Am I just not no

Does this article match other people's experience? The whole opening premise, that few people have hobbies now seems entirely wrong to me. I can't think of anyone I know who doesn't have at least a few hobbies. Many people I

I usually write scripts in Python or Bash, depending on the task. I've had a fair amount of success using a cron for scheduling, but I've come to really enjoy using Jenkins for automated tasks. A lot of tasks make sense to trigger

DARPA spending 1.3 million dollars on a fringe theory doesn't seem like that big of a problem; worst-case scenario we learn that it really was a silly idea and move on. Best-case scenario we learn something fundamental about the univer

I've automated large chunks of my job away, but I've never felt that I ended up not having things left to do as a result. There are always more tasks to automate and more problems to solve. I get the impression from these stories

This was a really nice read. In the past, I've read or seen pieces detailing the personal story of a particular indie game developer, and often I walk away feeling kind of grated by their personalities (See "Indie Game: The Movie&

There are some features in OCaml that are interesting if you're coming from a Haskell background. In particular, polymorphic variants don't have an obvious analog in Haskell and can be used very expressively. Certain problems can
