Having lots of stuff in a doc page doesn't mean your docs are any good. I spent 2 years writing against the latest stable ExtJS. At about 3 months, I stopped using their docs for anything but cursory information: what methods does this clas

Personally, I don't find 5% ownership of a currency as a justifiable "deserved" fortune to any one person. That's trillions on the scale of existing currencies. That's enough to buy a world power. Is the idea so novel that it can't be re-bo

I usually switch into a different task. That tends to work pretty well, and doesn't leave me feel like I'm not making progress. When I'm completely stumped or frustrated with something, I'll shut everything off for a while. I just go do som

That's not the same title as the article. Additionally, it's both misleading and wrong.

This is a trade-off that manifests downstream. Highly opinionated there-is-one-right-way frameworks make it easy to get started because you don't have choice, but also get in your way in the long run because you don't have choice, and that

Those images were taken around 11 AM. The bomb didn't go off for nearly 4 more hours. So there would have to have been a suspicious looking bag in front of the store there for almost 4 hours. These guys were walking away from the bomb locat

I've read a number of software patents and I would definitely not be able to reproduce the invention using just the information in the patent. Rather, I'd have to take the described functional claims and build something that does what it sa

$168k. After taxes. If you assume 30% taxation, she'd have to have a pre-tax salary of $240,000/yr. This is assuming the investor could have obtained 3% per year in relatively safe investments. To break even (which is actually a loss, due t

At 3% gain per year from relatively safe investing, $125k would end up being $168k after 10 years. She'd have to earn an average after-tax salary of $168k for the next 10 years for the investment to be equivalent. That's fairly high, especi

That's the thing, it's never the right tool for the job. Hence the comment that it should never be used, ever, under any circumstance.

If you want to learn more about this, the visual formatting model in the CSS 2.1 spec is very readable: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visuren.html . If I were interviewing a candidate, I wouldn't expect them to be able to deeply recall most of

Perhaps nanotechnology can provide a transparent, repellant surface? Even if it's prohibitively expensive for say your bathroom mirror, this would be a good application for justifying cost.

What's the downside of cleaning it? Is it irreparably damaged by dust? Or does a micron-thick layer of dust render it ineffective? We built windshield wipers to clean car windows. I think we can manage something to clean these automatically

I'm not proposing a government-run monopoly. I'm proposing Google be publicly funded up front to take advantage of the current legal system to create a monopoly by sustaining funding that gives it a supreme advantage over everyone else (we

Centralized resources have a one-time construction cost and typically don't need too much maintenance unless they try to reflect living standards or moving targets (see: MDN / whatwg), and hosting isn't really expensive these days, not even

You can subdivide gold and other scarce resources. A gold bar you might trade with is 12.4kg, or at current market rate, about $700,000. But you wouldn't carry that to your local market to buy some toothpaste and a toothbrush, which might b

I mean paywalled in the sense of you pay up front for access to something without a good way to determine the quality of what you'll get. When I buy a book, I have extensive reviews, recommendations, and I can go to a store and flip through

A conjecture is not invalid by default. My reasoning is based on what appear to be, to me, on the surface, primarily selfish reasons for wanting to be the sole founder. As I observed when this blog post was originally made, it seems to me t

I haven't ever said that doing good shouldn't be profitable. Please don't put words in my mouth. I've simply said that it feels like profitability here, especially given the target market of this venture, is a much more important goal than

I didn't really say that, nor did I imply it. I said I'm for high quality, free educational materials at all levels. There's an entirely different rant about textbook sales in schools, more to do with corruption, greed, and sweetheart deals

Oh, I've seen the other sides. But that's the point. This video seems completely faked. It's clearly an advertisement, and it's not representative of Jolie's typical personality, and at the same time I feel that if I were a woman in tech, t

You can also just `git reset HEAD~1` if you want to have your index reflect the changes rather than just working on top of an empty index in a new commit. My workflow is a --no-verify commit on the branch, then when I come back, just reset

I think trust was intended, from the context. It's not a monopoly, it's an oligopoly. But it's also a bit wrong to argue that capitalism is at fault here. It appears it's rather the rampant and ubiquitous corruption, greed, and incompetence

Downvotes on this? Be thankful downvotes are anonymous. You are very likely incredibly incompetent, and I fear for anyone who has to read your code or worse, use it .
