People have tested it and debated it publicly, and 97% of those professionally qualified to test it and debate it are of the same opinion.

If it's not charged, you can't turn it on to show it's actually a phone.

Yes, this is a very confusing headline, and incorrectly appears to be reassuring. The Guardian's headline is better: "NSA intercepts: ordinary internet users 'far outnumbered' legal targets".

I came here to write this, too - it's a fascinating result (from a fascinating book - highly recommended). Humans, it seems, are just not well equipped to cope with reality. I think this shows through in many facets of life - essential

Nice idea, but I can't figure out how to see everyone in a particular place. I'd like to look up interesting people near me, regardless of what they do.

Not that I'm aware of. His blog is also highly recommended, see for example http://idlewords.com/2010/03/scott_and_scurvy.htm .

I also like "Our Comrade the electron": https://static.pinboard.in/webstock_2014.htm I'm generally not a writing geek, but Maciej is one of the (very) few people whose writing makes me wildly jealous.

I'm glad to see IntelliJ getting some love there for making much of this easier - few companies have worked so hard at it, and the results are amazing. Looks like Microsoft is making some great steps too, Bing Code Search gets a bad ra

I've read this blog for a long time now re: minimalist running, it's really great. More interestingness: http://www.sportsscientists.com/2012/03/vibram-shoes-named-i... I went back and checked this blog

All the racial dimension aside, because I don't really feel qualified to comment on it, “So how do you spend your time?” is a much more interesting question than "What do you do for a living?" . I particularly notice that

I think one of the most remote-work-friendly things a Java developer can do is develop Android apps. If you don't know Android it might be worth a look.

I'm the author of Cursive, a Clojure IDE based on IntelliJ. Cursive currently has a fairly minimal and occasionally frustrating debugger that I'm planning to improve soon. That said, I use it all the time and it works pretty well.

A friend sent me this article on IM, and I read it when I needed a break. I needed a break because the method I want to call is private, and deprecated, and the suggested substitute in the deprecation comment doesn't exist. If I go ahe

You're not being downvoted because your views are unpopular. You're being downvoted because your comments in this thread at least are basically content-free, and full of unsubstantiated assertions. You've refused to even look

I didn't downvote you. Did you read the chapter I linked to? I'm guessing not, because it contains answers to your implied questions. In particular, how England might use solar and the fact that the argument above applies equally

No, I didn't tell you that, although I suspect that for most of the world it's the only realistic short-term option. What I told you is that you should read that book, because it's an extremely interesting and balanced view o

The cost isn't the problem (well, it's a problem, obviously, but it's not the main problem). Take a look at this chapter: http://www.withouthotair.com/c27/page_203.shtml . The issue is the sheer size of t

This is going to be even more true for me in the future, and I was already pretty intolerant in this respect. I just used LastPass to get a list of all the passwords I should change after Heartbleed, and the list is terrifying - I can&#x2

I just checked out HUSL, that's amazing. The syntax demo is really cool. The colour schemes it generates are much more visible and pleasant to the eye (my eye, at least) than Solarized. Disclaimer: I'm slightly colour-blind - take

I don't care if the man's a nazi. I think it's fair to say you're probably in the minority there.

Author of Cursive here. You're right, it's unfortunate that I can't get around having to charge on top of Ultimate. However note that the Community edition now includes their Python support (although not the frameworks), and
