Microblogging will have made it when we dont have to depend on a single centralized provider to work. The system needs to be naturally distributed and handle partial failure, everything similar to email.

With spring/summer allergies I get really tired. I wish I could sleep an extra REM period. But I get 7 hours each night. The theory that it is best to wake up during soft-sleeping between REM sleep interests me. As others have mentioned, sl

I must be jaded. There are so many languages that can present some benchmarks where they're in the same speed magnitude as cleverly optimized C with no obvious bugs. The squid-graphs from the language shootout of a few days ago told me so m

Idle observation: The argument that avoiding Windows would lower the cost since there is no license cost to pay Microsoft seems flawed in practice. The psychology does not work in favour of it. It would be interesting to instead see a stra

Do either Sun or Oracle have the design know-how to pull this off? I get the feeling they're making products that are as sexy as a boxy volvo. Reliable but... boring.
