Hey Kevin, what led you deprecate cljs-d3 in favor of C2? In your Clojure conj talk, you mentioned a JS implementation change caused your code to break. Was that the main motivation, or where there other reasons?

This article needs a patio11 bat signal. I would be very interested to get his thoughts on this, and he didn't comment on it last time it was posted.

I think the better question is how much do you want for it? I'm sure you have heard of Flippa.com. Head over that way. I would determine how much you want to fund your next thing and see if anyone takes it. I would multiply the revenue by

If you haven't already read it: http://www.startupbook.net/ It walks through a lot of the things for asking. Once you have an idea, you will find marketing it is all of the work for getting traction. I would recommend Seth Godin. Specif

I suppose the question is, assuming they are dead reckoning, is the current stock price 531 asking too much, or is there still profit to be made?

I'm excited with where Siri can go as well. Maybe I'm suffering from the "it can go an higher" bias.

Can someone from the UK comment on if 4-year sentences are typically served to full term. I believe in America, you can be sentenced to 4 years and only end up doing a few months of the actual sentence.

That makes sense, but it is certainly not 90% of what I use an RDBMS for as the author stated. Especially if most of the things I do are not real time web. I will take a look at the link above, as I am curious about it. But I am still st

From the article: A lot of NoSQL solutions are about solving specific problems. MongoDB is a general solution which can (and probably should) be used in 90% of the cases that you currently use an RDBMS. As I use don't use any NoSQL soluti

I have lived in both LA and Detroit. These are really different animals. I read somewhere that you could fit the entire city of San Francisco in the vacant lots of Detroit. Also, you can easily find lots of property in Detroit for 5000 US

How about showing the comment scores after 24 hours? I personally like the not having the comment scores while the discussion is active. I do think it makes thinks feel more intimate, and you can not just scan the comments and move on. How

This made me think of Steve Jobs solution for the Mac team: The Mac team they were all in one building and they eventually got to one hundred people. Steve had a rule that there could never be more than one hundred people on the Mac team.

I encounter a variant of this all the time in modeling projects at my day job, due to the fear of beginning an unknown process (in my case modeling). Our clients often say things like, "We are not going to start modeling until "x" is comple

The text below is directly lifted from the Clojure site at: http://clojure.org/state The article describes it more clearly and succinctly then I could. There is another way, and that is to separate identity and state (once again, indirect

I agree with the article, and I have to admit I think Rich Hickey (creator of Clojure) is a brilliant man. If you check into his thoughts on programming you will find some very interesting arguments. His talk on state and identity: http:
