The serenity prayer has a rational and a religious aspect. The rational one is discerning between the things that are in our power and those that aren't, and concern ourselves only with the former. This idea can be found in Stoicism [1

One of the most uncomfortable moments of my career was talking to some guys in a pub during a conference, mentioning where I work, and seeing a flash of contempt in one of their faces. This person proceeded to make some disparaging comments

Good faith, in my opinion, is about contributing to the discussion in a valuable way. Reminding you that you don't get to set the conditions for criticising your work, even in a tongue in cheek way, is just that.

I also loved the Guide to the Good Live, and would recommend using the following book as a practical, guided tour to the Meditations and Seneca's letters: http://www.amazon.com/Stoic-Serenity-Practical-Course-Findin...

I can hardly imagine a more effective developer advocate than Scott Hanselman. He seems to be doing more good for Microsoft's reputation among developers than anybody else. Of course he out-HNed the official msdn article. For those not

And there's yet another company that's spelled differently, but one could argue is phonetically identical to your URL: http://www.ca.com/us/content/integration/nolio.aspx

Interesting and eye-opening statement, but not entirely correct: The entry level iMac and Mac Mini SKUs have regular hard drives.

Apple are sourcing parts from several component vendors, with varying performance, and name the resulting product exactly the same. They don't even specify what variants exist. How is somebody doing benchmarks supposed to test all poss

The first of your points is the Hawthorne effect, and I agree that we should not conclude anything from short term productivity increases. But your second point is just absurd. If wanting to keep your shorter working hours turns out to be s

The program driving the car is aware of the limits of its perception, though. My grandma probably isn't.

If you need to know its location to circumnavigate a pothole, you are to fast to react to other, unexpected, obstacles.

You are thinking of the wrong failure mode. Going too fast to react to a piece of debris is something a well programmed robotic car will never encounter in the first place. It will not go faster than the limits posed by its perception (know

If "stuff" is so easily found, why don't you reference it?

Ruined for negligence - medieval thinking combined with the US legal system. Like that's going to help the patient whose body the scalpel was forgotten in. But I like your example. Because in a well organised OR, the doctor cannot leav

Wow, this is an amazing application. I love olympic weightlifting, and seeing somebody build a training aide using computer vision in an app makes me feel like living in the future. What a nice contribution to this beautiful sport.

I would argue that at least the current model actually is for a niche market, i.e. applications that use GPUs right now. By the time more non-gaming applications outside of media editing are using GPUs more extensively, the top end mobile g

I assume the majority of people posting in this thread know this. From a functional point of view, it's still a 30$ half meter cable, and it is also sold as such (not as a transceiver chip/cable kit). It's an interesting tech

There are two sides to this story. The one I consider almost insignificant is that by honouring existing contracts, they have become a defence contractor in the literal sense. The more important one is that by not doing new work for the mil

I have read the original comment before the shit hit the fan, which clearly shows his attitude: "Sorry, not interested in trivial changes like that." Your lik is nothing but personal crisis PR, written after the shit hit the fan.

Writing gender neutral texts is much easier in English than in my native language. So please, don't hide your dislike for gender neutral language behind a pseudo-concern for non-native speakers. I find that quite patronising.

If someone doesn't like being called an asshole, they should not act like one. While the documentation pull request may have been trivial, it was also risk-free. Ben Noordhuis chose to reject a risk free pull request because he doesn&#

To add to that, the grazing animals don't need the antibiotics just to survive their conditions, only the ones in concentrated confinement need them.

It is what I have been waiting for for years: A C# for the JVM, i.e. a very expressive language with a well thought out type system that allows using some functional idioms.
