I grew up Christian, but I’m not any longer. That said, St. Francis is still a hero of mine and represents what Christianity should be.

Is this what happens when research moves from universities to the private sector? Not sharing data and results seems par for the course for things like proprietary algorithms. Why would biotech be any different?

That’s what I was getting at. I think the original commenter was implying BlackBerry (or RIM), not Microsoft or Google.

I’ve still got my Seven Cities of Gold cardboard folder sitting on my shelf on display and Starflight in a box somewhere.

Was going to say almost the same thing, except you left out smart. These people didn’t have just luck and opportunities, they were also highly intelligent. Someone else who commented on your post used the term “defeatist.” I’d guess it’s e

Out of curiosity, are there any OSS projects you’re donating $5/month to?

I’m just getting really tired of people thinking good software should be free and all the expertise and hard work that goes into something like Docker isn’t worth paying for. Docker provides a ton of value for very little money. Why shoul

Did it seem to anyone else that during the holidays, UPS prices skyrocketed? I felt like a box that would have run me $25 to ship 3 day ground a year or so ago was almost $60 this year. If this is how others felt, UPS might struggle next h

To everyone suggesting to silence unknown callers, most of these scams come through email or text messages, and the victim is tricked into calling the scammer. Best defense: don’t ever call a phone number you receive in a text or email mes

Does anyone else find it amusing that I shouldn’t use phrases with “trigger” in them, as they promote violent imagery, but then the reason why I shouldn’t say “killing it” uses “trigger” to describe why it’s bad?

I was in this boat. I used to call it "a Unix laptop that could run Photoshop." Also it didn't crash when I closed the lid.

I don’t understand why folks don’t just point out any back doors in these services will be abused or hacked eventually. Do our leaders want their own personal correspondence—-to their big donors, bankers, brokers, interns, mistresses, drug

I’ve tried a lot of Windows laptops, and there’s still nothing on the Win/Linux side, even in Dell and MS laptops, that compares with the precision and natural feeling of a Mac trackpad.

Every time I see some usability flub in Mac software—like the new Safari tabs—I think that Steve is just a little more gone. Despite his flaws, he really understood how people interact with computers in a way not many others do.

There was also one to keep an eye on the candy machine stock. Though talking about these early webcams makes me feel every pain and creak in my old joints.

I didn't realize at first how much this was going to change my view of Apple. Used to be when I saw the "Verifying xyz..." popup on my laptop, I felt a little more secure. It popped up tonight, and I found myself wondering,

It is a straw man. Software engineers don't hate spreadsheets when they're used as spreadsheets, like this article describes. They hate the "spreadsheet as a database," particularly when they're asked to load thos

I think it's a trick question, in the way he phrases it. If A implies B, then not B implies not A. But he doesn't say that. He says, "If A implies B, does not A imply not B," for which the answer is no.

These are great points. I disagree with a lot of this article, because it oversimplifies the problem without considering things like this. Another related problem it forgoes discussing is the idea of planning. Once these problems get harder

We like them because you can make one or two cups without wasting a lot of coffee or water. And unlike other brands, Nespresso pods are made of aluminum, so they can be recycled. In the US, when you order the pods or pick them up in a Nesp

Yeah, they'd messed with a clunky tablet for years. Then they finally developed a glass display that scrolled with touch and thought, "This would be better in a phone." I don't know if that really qualifies the iPhone
