Well, yes both are then blockers to the success of this approach. And on the other side of the coin, knocking up one of these dependency graphs is reasonably quick and straightforward. Its a thought provoking article - thanks.

How much do people use dependencies in jira etc? Seems that one ought to be able to create a plugin that would automatically generate and update this graph for any issue with dependencies.

These are beautifully rendered. I'd love to be able to interact with them as you would in sketchup.

Was BitcoinMarket.com the first marketplace? It struck me on reading that quote that I had no idea how to purchase bitcoin in 2010, and was more interested in finding out how to mine it.

My main point was that 2000 hrs sounds quite short, at least to me, but 100K miles sounds considerably longer. I suppose that if a manufacturer's goal is that all their vehicles last at least that long, and they can reach that goal th

At an average speed of 50mph, 2000 running hours comes out at 100000 miles. If the spec aims for all engines to last this long then you'd expect a good majority of them to last a lot longer. This doesnt seem too bad a goal to me.

A lot of research depends on software written by researchers and yet writing software is not really supported or incentivised by academia. Organizations like the software sustainability institute in the UK ( http://software.ac.uk

I dont think groovy should be on this list. It seems actively developed but is migrated to apache's archive and not apparently mirrored on github.

I have experience of fitbit and pebble and of the two I much prefer pebble. But I guess success is not always about the quality of the product.

I love the whole stack approach and found it very productive. Meteor up from Arunoda was brilliant. But supporting small side projects has been too challenging over the last few version increments and a lot of the packages that were usefu

A big blow for Meteor?(voice.kadira.io)

Never mind watching it, that sounds like a treat of a weekend activity to me.

I'm a fan of Iain M. Banks and have gifted this one. It reminds me a lot of Hermann Hesse's Glass Bead Game.

I love this thread. One that hasnt been mentioned and that I've enthusiastically gifted is The Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin.

an average of $500 million a year for 60 years seems reasonable to me given the potential reward to society https://www.technologyreview.com/s/541636/weighing-the-cost-...

Is it just that the head is smaller than a typical wooden violin (no scroll etc)?

This is really nicely done. I love the lava lamp animation bit in addition it's accompanied by a good write up. Well done sir!

batmanjs does. Admittedly its a fairly niche framework but we use it a lot.

I'd not come across this before. It's just like something out of a Neal Stephenson or William Gibson novel.

As I read it, in this case it's a specially modified version of measles that's used, not "vanilla" measles. Interestingly, the washington post write up also suggests that if the user had resistance to measles, another v

Perhaps it is a dry article, but I heard it on the radio this morning and really appreciated it ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b037vb15 - may be blocked outside uk). I was grateful to see the text version. Summary

This is a good summary/introduction. Would it be improved with examples of insertion/deletion/modification anomalies using the context of your data example? This seems like a loose end to me at the moment.

I think this is an excellent idea. Calculators were just being brought into the school curriculum when I was 8 years old (to some controversy at the time!) and we were told always to use the the three E's: estimate, evaluate, evaluate. Th

Agree that its a great campaign. Not sure they've created a movement. Really? The PR they're generating does seem to rely on the analytics though, which is why I raised my sceptical eyebrow but as you point out, that's really not the goal

Its a bold idea that has made some great PR but it strikes me that they have no way of knowing if their app is recording sex or some other activity.
