A lot of people probably don't open source their web code because it could open them up to attacks, but it also probably wouldn't be that interesting. It never would have occurred to me to open up my work's rendering pipeline

There are a host of issues that one could take with Stallman's proposals/ideas, but one that I think doesn't get much attention is the slight falseness in some of his assumptions. We give up our freedom to a plethora of thing

I love that one of the papers sighted in defense of the argument actually states that the argument is an example of Bayesian analysis gone astray as its conclusion. http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1

No, it's not crazy at all, but don't sell yourself short, and take your time. Are you in the doldrums right now because of your breakup? If so, it would probably be best to make this decision when your are neither very happy nor v

Oh man, we all need to get over ourselves on this one. The burden of proof is on us to show that he didn't provide value.

A lot of this is really good advice, but I don't like the presumed self-aggrandizing attitude behind it. Even if it is affected, it's snotty. Most recent college graduates are scared, anything we can do to make the world a less

Do you not think that there is clearly something wrong with humanity. A quick glance around the world shows that we are positively evil to each other. I think we are also good, but there is immense suffering in the world. You can be an athe

First of all, the Christian theological vision of redemption incorporates a much broader view of humanity than one individual's salvation from damnation, it shares much in common with the Marxist view of the end of history in that it a

As a person who got a degree in ancient languages (Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic), I'm excited to see this article up. Hapaxes are particularly interesting in ancient texts, because they bring up issues of understandability and translatabi

I didn't say a bad recruiter couldn't become a good recruiter. I said the, "bad ones can leave", which, I acknowledge, is quite dismissive. What I meant is, "pay no attention to the bad ones".

I don't even understand why you're trying to help them. Good recruiters don't need your help and the bad ones can leave. Unless I can tell that an email has been custom tailored to my personal profile and experience I don&#x2

Nah. Just find some good open source projects on Github to help out with. Post some projects of your own on there (doesn't matter if its an original idea, but code that you are proud of). Get into an algorithms book and work your way t

I grew up playing the golden era of N64. I was solidly addicted (Ocarina, Mario, Golden Eye, and Mario Kart). I played a good deal of Civilization in late high school and early College, but as I got good at programming I started to play les

I like this a lot. It does a good job of dispelling the poor I've-got-nothing-to-hide defense. Being against a surveillance state isn't about being against the state being able to prosecute criminals, it's about being against

Most modern browsers are able to paint while loading script files, especially if you put your script files at the bottom of the page, where they belong. So, no, 20ms of parsing, compiling, and a small amount of execution is not a lot of tim

Getting funded in College is a sad goal to have, in my opinion. Your primary concern in College should be learning how to break out of the sad shell that you cultivated, by accident, in high school. Learn how to court the opposite sex, smok

You think that a page that loads jQuery but doesn't use most of it incurs a performance penalty? I'll grant there are a few initializations and dom checks that jQuery does, but it probably blocks for all of 20ms.

It might be the most cached file on the internet. Pulling jQuery is hardly expensive. Especially if you're pulling it from the google cdn.

Nah... It has long been in everyone's mind that China has to eventually unwind its currency from being pegged to T-bills. It serves China's interest (as well as everyone else's) to do this extremely slowly (decades). Bumpines
