Voicemail is dead, and it's because of the significant minority that leave giant messages, as well as anybody you never met who "just wanted to touch base with you". It's a shame too, because there are times and topics f

This is a great story. I actually was trying to remember flomio's name the other day (wanted to use their technology for something). Really perfect timing for their technology, kudos to their persistence.

I'm a software developer too. Was before I joined the FDNY (in 2003) and still am. Most firemen have a 2nd job, mine just is a little more cerebral than most (though there are doctors and lawyers on the job too). Always loved having th

Good luck, and congrats on making it through the woods. Sounds like you are in good hands which makes all the difference. You are right on the money about calling 911. As men we tend to be slow making the call, and don't want to seem l

What's up doc. She absolutely did make the diagnosis. She suspected it based on my pedal pulses, and other things, confirmed it via a CT scan, and got the surgery scheduled. It was like when the Wolf showed up in Pulp Fiction. Now the

I like angular and I think some of the changes (better DI for one) are good. AtScript makes sense in one way. I already tend to use browserify to pre-parse custom annotations. That way I can "macro-expand" injections and control

In February, I had an aortic dissection. That's a big deal medical emergency with the kill ratio of a special forces operator. Symptoms were similar to a heart attack, so it took a while to diagnose (John Ritter died of it, because the

Great time. Really enjoyed a few things: - Zach Sims quoting his classmates' saying something like "you should be embarrassed by your first version, but you shouldn't be THIS embarrassed." - The Instacart story was very

Very nice idea in a huge market. Not many kickstarter campaigns interest me these days, but this seems like something I'll buy/support. Awesome things like this make me "green" with envy.

Wow, thanks for pointing to this. Erik Meijer is awesome, and full of insights. Even if he was a bit disorganized in the Reactive Programming class on Coursera, he still was a treat to listen to. Would like to see what he does here.

Circuit emulators are always a lot of fun. The (first I think) project in Coursera's Reactive Programming class had you play with a circuit simulator written in Scala. It was an interesting assignment to work through. I think all you

For me the most exciting part is that they are bringing in support for Java 8. Though lambdas don't impress anyone already using a functional language on the JVM, the introduction of Nashorn and the merger of JodaTime are pretty aweso

This is disruptive. This is the first time in a long time I can say that without imitating a vc/wantrepreneur etc., but be serious. Obviously there is a lot of data missing here, but the fact that it is even approximated is amazing.

If you know Scala it's a good refresher & run-through of the motivations. If you don't, it's a nice summary if you need to know something about it (to make an educated decision, fake your way through an interview, whateve

Good article. Reminds me of the fact that though Thoughtworks has Scala listed as a language to adopt, they narrow it down to "the good parts": http://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/#/languages-and-frameworks
