I was actually researching this with respect to the tiny house movement. They are out there. Definitely all rural, which can make it tough when you depend on fast internet to make a living.

I guess it depends on your definition of "relatively inexpensive" :) I've only got residential experience in two states, but from what I'm aware of, there are certainly cheaper routes you can go. Especially with high qua

Yes, good points. I admit I could have done a better job expanding on their benefits. It seems to me like it should really be a federal regulation, with tiers of strictness by population density or something. Then instead of having differen

I'm torn on building codes. They increase the cost and duration of building a new dwelling by exorbitant amounts and limit the creative freedoms of the builder into practically following cookie-cutter templates (esp in terms of materia

Wordpress is technically capable of being used to build large apps, but, you're going to be rolling your own everything. Whereas a framework, is, well, a framework that has standardized and cleanly extensible ways of doing core functio

Just to be clear, I was speaking from (what I imagine is) the perspective of America's leaders. Regardless, there is a non-zero chance that the result of unknown secrets being exposed could be anarchy instead of a better-functioning de

This is kind of nit-picky, but I think it might be closer to the collective we can't ever really know The Truth (about any big meta issues), but just about everybody is convinced they know and have that truth right (and by extensio

In the long run, perhaps, you may (I hope) be right. There's an interesting analogy that Nate Silver lays out in the beginning of The Signal and the Noise where basically, after the printing press, the availability of information to

Not only that, but if we start dumping dirt, who knows what secrets our adversaries might choose to drag out of the closet and parade down main street. It's a loosing proposition.

I remember trying do do that years ago, and getting hung up as a newbie on there being a million different LISP implementations. I think I tried to use Racket, if I remember correctly, but whatever I picked didn't support some of the b

Both broccoli and cabbage are "cruciferous vegatables".[0] Other ones you're probably familiar with include Brussels sprouts and kale. It's a very healthy family, and while I'm no nutritionist, I suspect the benefit

Aye but is it something you'd watch with a bunch of 8 year olds? Perhaps it's one on a technicality, in much the same way Die Hard is. But it's definitely not what most people think of when somebody says "it's a Chr

I suspect you're being sarcastic there, but just in case somebody doesn't pick up on that, "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer" is the correct form.

It depends. If you're doing development in a dynamic language, just about anything half-modern is more than sufficient. Faster clock speeds matter more than the number of cores (ie, prefer a 3.5GHz dual-core to a 3GHz quad-core). If yo

Not the author, but from the FAQ[0] it says Lumina was specifically designed for the needs of TrueOS (aka PC-BSD aka desktop FreeBSD), and "works very well for the BSD community at large." It also does not require a lot of the &qu

Hmm I'm learning good habits are often more valuable than good goals. That, and measure yourself by how well you're sticking to the habits, rather than any concrete results. Those are less immediate, and you might stop the habit b

Lots of gold in this book. Even though it was published in 1930, just like with The Prince mentioned elsewhere in this thread, human nature changes so very slowly - if at all - that these works are only substantiated by the test of time.

It may not be highly publicized, but you can bet your ass many (likely unelected) officials in the US already care and have been paying attention for some time. The same goes for Canada, Denmark (Greenland), and the Scandanavian countries.

The original Xbox One used a Jaguar[0] based chip, which is really quite a different bread than the Bulldozer or Zen micro architectures. (It's closer to what you'd find in a netbook than in a high end machine, minus the custom me

That's a shame. Didn't use to be like that. But that site has gone downhill in general since Anand sold it to some big media outlet. (With the exception of a few authors who were around in old times.)
