Nice catch. If more people look at Polanyi`s economic ideas then it will shape the debate in a positive way so that we can discuss the ideas without getting into that left versus right battle. Truth is that there is a lot more to economic a

Rails is not for building big apps. It works better for small, even quick and dirty apps. When you want to build something that is big or that will evolve into big, choose a better language and don't rely on a framework to save you. In

What if Satoshi is actually a group of NSA agents who created a new crypto-currency as a honey-trap to attract bad guys so that they could either stop them or use them as slave agents. What if? Would that Satoshi want to be identified?

Lets just say that PostgreSQL answers the criticisms of relational databases that led to NoSQL. The complaints all boiled down to saying that the RDBMS forced you to do things one way and that it was cumbersome. PostgreSQL evolved and fixed

This is a stalking app, pure and simple. As the author says, it is for shallow people who are only interested in shallow relationships. Sooner or later, this app will lead to physical violence. No need to be scared of Lulu unless you are on

There are buildings that are in both Canada and the USA. I'm not sure if there are any houses like that but there might be. The two places that this happens are near the Pacific coast, and the border between the province of Quebec and

Sounds like a non-state player has decided to solve some business problems by hiring local contract killers. Could be rich Chinese, Russians, Americans. Anyone who has a ton of cash and industrial interests that are best served by no nuclea

What if those young white men are all working in companies that depend on VC capital to survive and thrive? And what if the VC investment decisions are also made by young white men? That is the real Silicon Valley of today.

My take on this, and I have spent some time in SV working at a startup in Redwood City, is that SV does NOT attract the best and the brightest. Instead it attracts a gaggle of me-too-ers who apply cargo cultism to ape the successful compani

Just about any OO system can do this using interfaces, abstract base classes, mixins, traits etc. Yes it is a good way to approach design rather than building unique behavior from scratch over and over. But you don't need to go anywher

What an awful ugly site. This guy needs some lessons in designing things for a computer screen so that users do not need to endlessly scroll and squint at faint text on low contrast backgrounds. It would make a good example of what NOT to d

Not just possible but likely. Then DPR created Silk Road to earn more BTC in a more traditional way than mining, and then DPR passed the business to one Ross Ulbricht. Or there may even have been more than one DPR before Ulbricht.

Realistically, rather than work with the fussy syntax of this pseudo functional language, most people who work in data science would be better of using Python because of the IPython Notebook http://ipython.org/notebook.html

According to Joel Fuhrman, MD, it is not nuts that are healthy, but seeds that are eaten raw. This includes things like sunflower, sesame and chia seeds. Peanuts is a bit different because it is a legume, but Fuhrman does include beans and

That's a good answer. The only reasonable way to double your money is to buy something that you can resell in the short term for a profit of 20% or more. Do that two-three times and your money is doubled. Alternatively, invest in somet

To my mind the ideal challenge is no more than 4 hours. You make an appointment. At the agreed time, the hiring company emails you the requirements. If you have clarification question, they remain available throughout the challenge time to

After the work is submitted the following day, if it looks good then call them in for an interview and ask them what were the weak points of the solution. If the developer is good, they will have worked it over in their head for the next da

For all these types of coding interviews I think that the company should state up front how they evaluate it. Is that clicking keyboard in the background someone typing in the code to run it and see if it works? Are they looking for clear c

Office space would be a lot cheaper if you would just move out of the big tech hubs! Even Silicon Valley has its distant suburbs where rent is cheaper, and commute times are lower.

Reminds me of the office in the well-known Soviet film, Sluzhebniy Roman (Office Romance) filmed in the Soviet Union in the early 70's. But the senior manager did have her own office which doubled as a conference room.

That speed might not be an advantage. If RabbitMQ is fast enough then why would you pay the price of the more complex ZeroMQ in order to get more speed? In any case, I have built applications that used both RabbitMQ and ZeroMQ for different
