I think about it like this: The number of projects is simply a sign of how popular the language / platform is (is becoming). When you start to understand / recognize the different "types" of projects you'll see they

Has anyone (sane) ever theorized that the ripples in spacetime in some cases may have existed before the masses of particles (ie. planets / stars) arrived at those locations?

I recently had an experience with a company that appeared to have this sort of attitude toward its employees. The company is a Fortune 50 company, so it's entirely possible my experience / project was an isolated case. If not, h

All we have to do is raise the comprehension level of (1/2 * n + 1) voters for democracy to work well. And it's not a perpetual cycle. The universe's complexity is finite.

re: the "Modern Firefighting" idea. I wonder if anyone has ever analyzed the cost / benefit of preventative fire fighting. ie. deploying moisture to dry areas. You wouldn't need to dump buckets at a time. Instead mor

Given the ubiquity of JSON on the web, can anyone here think of any other common JSON parsers for modern web languages that behave in these unexpected ways?

I'm really not trying to make this about me. Just trying to help with some tips for someone who self-describes as being a "mediocre" programmer.

A great example would be to explain differences between bind, call, and apply in JS. Especially when talking about the difference between call and apply you might want to be familiar with the function signatures of each. Object.create. r

I think most people in this field respect someone with a strong foundation and accomplishments. I think a strong kick that you might need would be to take interviews with firms in SF or NY. When I first started doing that I realized quickl

That's definitely an important objective. Although admittedly it won't be as pure as something like Bitcoin. I'm targeting what you could loosely equate to a scientific proof of existence, not a mathematical one.

I'm looking at the "accountability" part a little differently. It's not necessarily going to be some built in rules in the coin that hold people accountable. Instead one of the critical philosophies I've adopted i

I agree that it does seem counter-intuitive given what we've come to expect a cryptocurrency to be.

I think the big breakthrough with cryptocurrency will be when someone invents a "Basic Income" cryptocurrency. I've been thinking about it for a while, and have even started writing up a specification (may not need to write t

I don't know if it's an "option", but my preference is hovering around the idea that I just want my body (as is) to be buried in the ground. Does this exist?
