Laws don't live in a vacuum. They are enforced with the threat or carrying-out of violence by those with a monopoly on force. Suggesting that someone's children be taken from them is absolutely the threat of showing up at their

I went to a private school in Alabama. Other students of the public schools in Alabama near me were clearly less well-educated than most of my classmates (I was the valedictorian, and my point is that those in the 85th percentile of our gr

The fact that homeschooling is referred to as indoctrination when compared with public schooling sickens me. I can't really think of many more poorly designed systems than (1) a popularly elected government, who (2) controls what its

I approve of this. Don't listen to that other guy. This should be standard. One addition though: Cocktionary = HashMap "Dictionary" never really made sense.

I used to do this a lot more. However, at some point I realized I would certainly have shot down twitter. Since then I've hopefully been less arrogant.

It looks like I jumped the gun. The search itself seems fine, but the highlighter is a bit overzealous

This is awesome, but I'm a little confused about the treatment of underscores. If you search for something like "secret_key" (teehee) it will return results for just 'secret' and just 'key' seemingly :-\ Not what I expect out of code sear

So javascript is actually the fastest implementation of regular expressions, so I'm not sure why something's "obviously amiss."

One of my biggest problems with taxes is that the output of my hard work is spent on things that I find morally reprehensible. I feel it is absolutely evil to take someone's money at gunpoint and spend it on something he finds evil. For me,

I love these guys. @dblockdotorg was nice enough to let me, my wife, and my CTO come check out General Assembly and their space while I was in New York earlier this year. Their code seems solid, I've happened upon stuff @dblock wrote when

yeah, my reason for two spacing is just because it's right. One space after a period already means something (see his Mr. Smith example). So I'm left with something else to signify "I'm done with this sentence, gtfo." But, more importantl

This. Many rails apps spend much of their time rendering views, and even a decent caching strategy on the server can increase performance tons.

If you <3 EventMachine, check out Celluloid. It's a vastly more sensible approach to asynchronous code in ruby imo - uses the Actor Model (from erlang OTP, etc) to great effect.

This is very clearly not the sunk cost fallacy. In this case, they are delaying making money (thanks to collusion + patents most likely) and they are still going to recoup their currently 'sunk' costs. The sunk cost fallacy is continuing

Every linux user I know (except maybe two) runs gnome3/gnome-shell and loves it. One of those two run gnome3 with unity. So only one user I know isn't running gnome - he runs kde. He plans to try out gnome for a month after watching me w

producing a barrel is not even hard with a well set up lathe, is it? I mean, certainly you can outperform muskets easily enough.

So something that I think the courts have lost sight of is the purported reason for patents in the first place. They exist to encourage innovators to make their inventions public, so that knowledge will not be lost. With something like 'pi
