"RQ1. Are some languages more defect prone than others" is misleading. It shows TypeScript having an coef of −0.43, Clojure of -0.29, Scala at -0.28, and Haskell at -0.23 and shows a small amount of standard error for each. That i

You should probably have a format that is easily digestible, like WSDL was for SOAP services. Requiring the person serving the RAML to setup their webserver to gzip it and requiring the client to gunzip everything is not very friendly. Havi

It's nice, but because of the HAML-like format, there are a lot of empty space characters included. That's great for readability, but it doesn't seem like a perfect choice for a webservice description language, since that con

Look into Detroit, but the Triangle area of NC (Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill) is one of the best for startups, currently. Google just setup shop in Chapel Hill, there are plenty of startups in Durham and Raleigh, a number of major tech

The problem we are having today is people that are overweight. Notice I said overweight and not obese. You don't have to be obese to have sleep problems. Simply getting your weight down enough can often reduce sleep apnea, which increa

Why is distributed HTTP needed when you could just run a local (web)server that would act as a translator to the peer-based web which you could implement with other protocols? That way, you can continue to use existing browsers. Now you&#x2

One technique mentioned was delaying access to common timewasting sites. That is way too complicated and doesn't get the job done. Just put it in your hosts file and "block" it by pointing it at 127.0.0.1. If you really need

Typo: "Meteor 9.7% 1967" has an extra digit, since 1967 would be far above 9.7%. I'd comment on the page, but comments are limited to team members. Also, why even show the option for comments if I can't make them?

Nothing about rbenv in the post. Any reason why not? Some of the things you pointed out about rvm would be handled by using rbenv instead.

It seems like adding an electromagnet, whose power is adjusted by something tracking how well the clock is keeping to another more accurate source of time, could be employed to help fix this. It might require changes to the pendulum, but th

Every event doesn't have to be about alcohol, you're right. But when I think art festival parodying Disney, I think alcohol.

> Plus all the commercialisation you suggest would pretty much be the antithesis of what the event sets out to poke fun at. Providing food and drink is commercialization?

Allow people to BYOB then? You should have alcohol available at an event like this, if you can. And, if you have alcohol, there must be food.

I'd be there for the music and maybe to see the art if I lived in the area. Suggest providing good beer, wine, mixed drinks, and food trucks or similar food merchants along with some affordable art and t-shirts, since it is an art fest

Completely solving the problem of pricing in term of getting it right the first time is more difficult than predicting the weather. At least with the weather you can go outside and learn if it is raining. You can't just go outside look
