A book. Preferably one that her parents will enjoy reading over and over again. I like "Anno's magic seeds" (I have daughters and want them to understand programming, but 1 is really young) Edit: not clear from the book'

Not an experienced entrepreneur, but FWIW, don't take on Blackboard's existing products. Make a gamble on what's going to be important for managing courses in 5-10 years and start building that. Online testing is probably goi

"Imgur for Excel" is the most disorienting startup summary I've ever seen. We must use imgur differently... or Excel. If any of your ideas would be potentially useful internally too, you might be better off hiring people rath

I came across your website googling for how to set up emacs w/ clojure... for someone with prior emacs experience, your step 2: "Delete ~/.emacs or ~/.emacs.d if they exist" seemed... extreme. If you have a time, ma

But that was more about bzr's trajectory than its popularity. My (uninformed) impression is that Fossil is niche but actively maintained.

Just to add to that: it seems like stack overflow/exchange is really helpful when people can verify for themselves whether an answer is correct or not. Did the shell script modify the right files, does this SQL query return the right r

Maybe analogies that require programmers to have a lot of familiarity with conducting aren't super helpful here :)

To get rid of comments, you've now hard-coded the algorithm into every call to `disambiguateRecordsByGroupID`. What happens if something changes and you need to disambiguate records by something other than group ID? It seems like a sho
