I agree. I don't read comic books, barely watch sci-fi, play board games. I play sports and do stuff outside. I often feel like an outcast when I'm talking to a bunch of programmers and they veer off into sci-fi talk.

I would love to hire a designer/developer. Can you get in touch with me via my profile.

I hope to have a colorful enough online profile to prevent myself from ever getting a boring, stifling job.

Finally. I had a similar idea. I wanted to start or have access to a company called Fuck You Pay Me. They would be contract salary negotiators that developers hire to negotiate their salary.

Creating a new language that handles concurrency and pointer bugs in a systematic way that is also fast is amazing. Writing a new browser engine in said language is very ambitious and important.

This is really exciting. I'm glad to see rust being used for serious apps. This is actually the first new browser engine that I know of being written in the past 10 years. Good for Mozilla for attempting hard problems in innovative ways.

I love emacs, I really do. It is really hard to share customizations with git for emacs in my experience. Right now I'm using prelude + some customizations. I can keep my fork of the prelude repo on my account, and add stuff to /personal

We are working to build open source software for them that meets their needs. I think they are making an investment in the sense that any customer is invested in the outcome of a project. It wasn't a VC investment.

What is your use case? Have you looked at Numba? There are guarantees about memory that can be made with Fortran that can't be expressed with C. Numba is trying to bring the same type of optimizations to NumPy python code, because it does

where is there a good overview of the jailbreak landscape for androids. I don't know if I want a rom, root access or what. I find the forums that many of the mods are described on to be scary, I don't want to get a drive by virus or malwa

This is silly, what does anyone owe a country? With few changes a letter like this could implore Americans to serve their country by joining the military. Governments compete and economies compete for smart people, apparently India isn't

Add better support for keyboard shortcuts. I use firefox every day and I still prefer it to chrome because it has better keyboard shortcuts, but they could be better still. 1. I can't disable Ctrl-P/Cmd-P that maps to print screen. I us

A lot of these ideas could be supported via a proxy system. Something like charles http://www.charlesproxy.com/ on steroids. If you wanted to edit yahoo.com , you would checkout your local repo, have charles point to the local repo, and

I wonder how long it would take to write out 64Gb of non-compressed 0s . Disclaimer: I work at Continuum and will ask Francesc the same question.

Thanks. I will look at this. Firefox is my preferred browser. The google voice integration is by far the worst. I have to log into google voice, which then calls my gmail, which then calls whoever I want to.

I don't have the desired gmail that I want. my desired email is paddy@paddymullen.com. my gmail account has a ".gm" appended to the end to get a unique name.

If google wants me to use and depend on their services they need to take google apps for domains seriously. I have three google apps for domains accounts, and a regular gmail account. One apps for domain account is tied to my job, another

I agree. I actively try to get out. I also more acutely notice when I'm not working when working from home compared to an office. Since starting one job working from home in NYC I put on 20 pounds in 6 months because I wasn't walking to

The liability insurance rates for a car like this should be lower. Especially in a heavy populated area like NYC. Personal injury lawsuits are very expensive.

I think that one of the big advantages to building it into chrome is that you get better window management capabilities. OS X is utterly horrible at managing windows without using the mouse, having everything built into the same app often
