My answer is going to be boring. Stick to business as usual. I enjoyed 90% of the guests and learned a ton. I never felt a retooling was needed. Maybe @aaron needed more hosts, but he did a fine job. Would love to complain about something

I completely don't agree with your "question redistricting". I'm voting for a person not a party. For example, 3 is solidly not Hillary. Speakers she had at the DNC, tweets after Dallas shooting, on and on. Trump is 100

It's doesn't matter above/beyond all issues, otherwise I'd be writing in Cruz, who I agree with on 3% of the issues. If Trump had 10 or more extra IQ points, he would be an easier sell to me. I do feel his ridiculous en

Having "lost patience" isn't being "a perfectly open-minded person", especially in light of the wikileaks etc. The media collusion, the FBI info, Combetta/Stonetear, the obvious health issues, etc. The main is

I have, and I am 50/50 split on those :). I sidewith.com had me at 1% point between bernie, hillary and trump. I 1 - am rabidly pro-choice 2 - think the second amendment is pretty good as is, maybe with a few additional checks. 3 - de

The third debate most likely :). I have them at 1-1 so the winner of this debate will have won twice as many debates as the other. Small sample size I know. If he is idiotic and has all of his points torn apart, I will have a hard time pu

The Rubin Report is very unbiased and open minded. Mostly interviews, but a fun show. There's a lot of other great sources mentioned already, but wanted to add my fave to the list.

Reminds me of Six Degrees of Harry Lewis[0], where Mark Zuckerberg set up a graph to find out the most popular person in Harvard, via cross-referencing articles in the crimson. That project may or may not have been the origin of Facebook.

Exactly. Though a lifelong liberal* I am really enjoying the Trump show and the conniptions he is causing both parties. And provided he doesn't do his mass-deportation (which I think is an empty threat), there is nothing about him that

The Halligan is vim. Has weird modes of usage, and takes some explaining. But it is stable, ever-present, and all-powerful.

I love this idea. Do it in nyc sometime, please.

That is fascinating, thanks. There definitely is point where the primary life hazard is us and we fail to realize it sometimes. Reminds me of the speech from The Edge. "Most people in the wilderness die of shame ... instead of thinkin

Agree 100% with everything you said: toddlers, teamwork, not-watching-movies-as-a-rule, and not giving up your tool is more an attitude to complete what you started.

That door curtain is a fantastic idea. When my company would go to Governor's Island I did dropdown curtains from the floor above. I've actually been light duty for the past 2 years so for all I know drones are putting out fires

:) Partly it's because murphy's law says that you "loosened it" for the next guy. But also because confidence is a big part of the job. Once you start second-guessing yourself and listening to too many suggestions at on

Interesting seeing this posted here. I've spent the past decade+ as a firefighter with the FDNY and this is always a go-to book (at least for monday-morning-quarterbacking how somebody did something). It's one of the few times a

lihaoyi you are an absolute madman. I hope typesafe can woo you from dropbox. it would be insane to see what you get done if scala became your dayjob.

Cool seeing his name. I grew up about 3 blocks from him and his daughter Iva (he was gay and had Iva with a lesbian poet (actually think they were married, not sure if it was just an arrangement though)). Iva was my best friend when I was p

I'm not sure whose call it was for ESU to have these duties, but it probably was sold as increased neighborhood coverage, the same way engines do CFR until the real experts show up. Though I've had good experiences with them, I im

I agree. I'm a fireman with the FDNY and cops absolutely are on our side (and the same side as EMS as well). In the past 12 years there only was one time where I even witnessed tension between us and them (an elevator emergency with v

I love this. I find that Rails-API sometimes does/needs some screwy stuff because it has to be 2nd class citizen. This promotion of it is great news because it will obviously be kept in sync way better. Regardless, SPAs are fast beco

I like this idea a lot. I am a private person, but I made sure to get the .coms of my name, my wife's name, and the names of our 2 (the second one born a month ago) children. I think if this sort of thing appeals even to a misanthrope

At the rate they are releasing new features it looks like one day a conversation will go like: A: "We're a Twilio for X" B: "Doesn't Twilio do X too now" A: "Uh, well, yeah, I guess"

I agree. As far as calculus goes, I am more enamored with books like Spivak's ( http://www.amazon.com/Calculus-4th-Michael-Spivak/dp/0914098... ) that take a proof-centric approach to teach calculus from first

If you haven't got it yet, I'd recommend the 7-in-7 book on languages ( https://pragprog.com/book/btlang/seven-languages-in-seven-we... ). It covers the 5 of the languages you mention and could help you d
