I'm sorry I didn't understand what "closer to the rock face" means. As far as I know, Dawkins' books give his version of evolution, that is somewhat non-standard and not yet proven. Gould used to write about evolution more as it was widely

Your argument sounds a lot like "64k should be enough to anyone"; I guess we'll only need more and more processing power (and processes aren't necessarily applications, as in the case of Chrome -and you could also be using threads for that

I was happy with Dawkins book until being told, by a geneticist if I remember right, that he wasn't very serious, that Gould was serious reading but Dawkins was not completely so. I'd be glad to know if it's right or not.

Scons isn't new, it's been around for a big while and I've had the opportunity to use it in a few projects. It's a great build tool, I highly recommend it.

This is an opportunity for Scribd, they can now offer their iPaper for the affected companies (excepting competition, I guess).

I knew the rumors too... but did the competition knew it somehow, or were they in the same state of confusion as the rest of us?

This is an article for recognizing good programmers, so you can hire them, not for other programmers to admire them.

Someone with a hyperbrain who also happens to be a programmer will probably fit most of these criteria - but then, I would say that this is more an indication of hyperbrains being well adapted to programming than of good programmers being

"We met with some programmers who were passionate, but were obviously charlatans." And how did you tell the difference? (when it wasn't obvious... or was it always obvious?)

Hi, thanks for answering. I relate this to hyperbrains because it talks about programmers that: a) are intelligent, b) work in a lot of different projects, possibly unrelated, that are usually hidden, c) are passionate, and self-taught. May

Aren't these instructions on "How to recognise an hypermind programmer"? Edit: I agree that this way you can recognize good programmers, but are all good programmers supposed to be that way, or only hyperbrain/INTP/whatever?

I'm not so sure about it... the times I felt something like this my creativity was ok for doing other things, just I was blocked for coding in some specific kind of project.

My point of view is that I only care about the quality of articles on the front page. If a downmod button would increase it, I would agree with such proposal, but I'm not sure (as you said) that such would be the case, and anyway I think th

Now, that's a good argument for not having a downmod button. But not having a downmod button for avoiding wasting the people energy? That's what I don't agree with.

I don't agree... I think it's better to have good content in the sites I visit, than to get less than a few seconds a day back for downmodding links. I prefer going to a good library, with many good chosen titles, than to a terrible library
