What's the opposite of a sweet spot? Pain spot? Pair programming has a big one. Basically whenever you sit with another programmer and try to do initial design of something while coding it. God that is awful. Don't ever do that. B

One thing I'd add: Head-up-display. Project the most important information up to the bottom of the windshield so I don't have to look away. This would be particularly useful with a lane-keeping solution, where it could show exactl

I always thought driving sims would be ideal for VR, since you are sitting still in the simulation as well as the real world, with only the world outside the car moving, you can look around, etc. Nope, got aggressively nauseous about two mi

I have a Surface Book from last year (performance base, i.e. dedicated GTX970 GPU). It is a wonderful machine from design to the incredible amount of hardware they manage to pack into it. A big issue everyone should be aware of though is th

The brand I use is from a local producer. Generally I would avoid anything that is well-advertised, those brands seem to usually contain lower grade or less active ingredient. You should look at the amount of ginsenosides. The one I use con

For an alternative to modafinil, I would like to take the opportunity to recommend trying ginseng. I take it as gelatine capsules (good quality from a serious vendor), one every day. It takes a couple of weeks before it kicks in for me, but

This is a pretty big blow. The ETF has been the talk of the town for the last four years, and it is not unreasonable to think that it has been holding the hand under the price, since to a lot of people it represented the coveted inflow of i

There is already a regulated market - the Winklevoss' Gemini exchange. They went out of their way to make sure everything about their exchange is in compliance, specifically for it to serve as the market for the ETF commodity. Unfortun

As a developer, absolutely. You need that kick in the ass from the grumpy old bastard who refuses to setup your queue with a max depth of 1 million, or open up the firewall between the database and the DMZ.

I tried to get back into PhoneGap after a two year absence. This was after the PhoneGap/Cordova split and it seemed to me like the entire ecosystem was in smoldering ruins. Figuring out if you need to use either the PhoneGap or the Cor

If you don't mind using a web app, TeamPostgreSQL[1] has data entry for the database tables, with column-specific widgets laid out in a grid. This includes file upload/download widgets for BLOB columns, and as far as I remember ev

When I was in Beijing a few years ago, the parks in the morning would inevitably be full of groups of (mostly older) people doing tai chi. Pretty impressive compared to the senior population in the West, I would say.

It has improved a lot just within the last year, with the new development mode landing, and it will be really good once incremental compilation arrives, which is scheduled for this year. Just compile, refresh browser, done. I kind of enjoye

For rich web applications, GWT is a great option. It is a blessing to write the frontend with the same language and toolchain as the backend, re-using domain classes and constants across the projects. Our current project uses Spring MVC for

For the web, TeamPostgreSQL[1] does most of these, like SQL autocomplete including schema object names, live editing query results, table editing, etc. It also has click-through foreign key references, look up rows that reference this one,

Been using GWT for almost a decade. It makes it easy to develop and maintain enormous and complex web applications, which would otherwise be difficult if you had to rely only on JavaScript (both the language and the toolchain). Being able t

I think, when you have the kind of money that Notch now does, your time becomes by far your most precious asset. Saving the hassle of interior decoration probably makes it well worth it for him. Tangentially, it is probably a lot of pressur

Bah, that kind of money should be spent. Would you rather he sit on it or bought stocks and T-bills? Before you say he should spend it charitably, I honestly don't think it is easy to donate tens, or hundreds, of millions of dollars in

I freaking love everything about the story of Notch and Minecraft, including this. I want to live in a world where a geek can sit in his bedroom and create some cool shit, that enables him buy a $70 million mansion in Beverly Hills.

As someone with a fair amount of experience on an electric board (ZBoard type), I like that Boosted puts the battery packs and electronics at either end of the board. Other boards have the battery pack in the middle and it gets in the way o

GWT is still a very viable option for writing JavaScript applications, if not actually the best one. It is one of (or the?) first transpiling tools and very mature and feature rich (transparent RPC/serialization, obfuscation/deobf
