It's a little depressing how relatively radical the attitude of the legislators in the article is. It's not that they think this is 100% absolutely going to work. It's just that they realize what they're doing now isn&#x

I love the simulated random failures in malloc and I/O, it's something I haven't seen at all in other software. Maybe some people do it, but I think it should be more common.

Dropbox for non-media stuff, I back up everything occasionally on a USB hard drive with rsync. I guess it's not a big deal to me because aside from my work which is in dropbox and git, I don't have anything I couldn't replace

Trello. I have lists for daily, monthly, and yearly goals. There's a calendar view and due date feature now too, although I don't use it very much.

All of my programming languages. I learned pretty much everything I know. I learned about memory management, processor architectures, all that fun stuff. Unfortunately I never got to that point where my languages were incredibly popular (or

Best website = use elance/odesk/et al to build up your network...and then stop using them. There's legit, high paying work on those sites but the signal to noise ratio is pretty bad. I've used elance myself -- it's

I've reached the same conclusion myself. I always find the lists of "sleep hygiene" suggestions to be incredibly misguided. Proper sleep hygiene is important, but I've come to believe that blue light is the most importan

I'd come up with a forwarding address just in case. I do have several email addresses pointing at my main gmail public. One of them doesn't get any spam, the other keeps getting spam from one idiot offering me SEO services. But th

Hack your weight by eating healthy and exercising with regularity. You say you "ate Paleo-ish" but ultimately you have to restrict calorie intake. Supplemental testosterone? I've never heard of that being used for weight loss

Redis. I got back into web programming this year and looked over all the NoSQL databases and it was the only one that really stood out to me. I've even read a bit of the source code and it's all very well done and nice to use.

elance, odesk, etc are fine, it's just that the signal to noise ratio is very bad. Filter through the projects until you find reasonable projects with reasonable budgets. Post on the seeking freelancer thread. I posted on there for the

I'd just go with DigitalOcean and serve up the static assets with nginx until that is no longer tenable (longer than you think).

Props for using Redis. I've been hacking on a project that uses Redis only and it's been an enjoyable experience. I have to agree with mean anonymous comment guys that the interface could use some work, though. Too much whitespace

I can highly recommend reading the Relaxation Response for a scientific treatment of meditation. Much like exercise, if it came in pill form, everybody would take it.

I'm not super familiar with Julia but it seems to use a pretty simple and easy to manipulate representation for metaprogramming purposes. http://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/metaprogramming/

Having to get out your credit card to swear at people on the internet seems to do a good job of getting people to stop and reconsider. Not always, but it helps.

Wow, it's come along nicely since the last time I saw it. I seem to recall they didn't even have macros and were doing everything with eval. As somebody with no interest in scientific programming, Julia still seems like a very wel

The book is made by the creator of tinyrb ( https://github.com/macournoyer/tinyrb ). I've never read it, so I don't know whether it's any good, but I'm sure it's not a scam. Implementing a progra

This looks very nice, I think I'll be using this to write my blog posts in the future. Just one whinge: Jekyll 1.0 now has support for a _drafts folder. You might want to consider using that instead of 'published'.

Cherish your dad and try to emulate him. I'm lucky to have parents just as supportive, but a lot of my family and friends don't. So when they tell me about their grand plans, I don't second guess their decisions. I might push back a little,

I suppose it depends on what your goals are. If your goal is just to crank out some Python, I'd go with Flask (or my personal favorite Bottle).

Looks real cool man! You've got the wrong James Anderson on the Rockets page. I don't think he has a twitter, actually.
