I actually had a mini panic attack thinking about that. The best thing about markdown is pandoc.

I am very confused by the implication that TeX or LaTeX make it easy to create a document that looks exactly the way you want. Unless you want it to look like a paper presented to a publication that has a mandatory style, and a package is a

You should sell an app that puts your worst photos next to the subject in their own photographs. I cannot take a decent photo in most cases, but I had the opportunity to have a photo session with someone who normally works with models and c

It could be a very subtle AML tactic. BofA asked me if I remembered the name of the staff member who set up my business account prior to letting me make a wire transfer. Of course, since they can't tell you it's AML you think the

Some people actually prefer the palm oil in the Nestle KitKats, just as Cadbury tried to tell everyone. I suspect it's a similar phenomenon with people who prefer HFCS Coke to cane sugar Coke. If you're used to palm oil, cocoa but

Fortunately, with infinite processing and storage, time is irrelevant. :) Flip the switch and you'll have real intelligence (as opposed to our lazy Approximate Intelligence) just in time for the immediate heat death of the universe.

Plus, if the one on Mars kills anyone, we all know how that movie goes. One does not simply walk away from killing an extraterrestrial. I'm going to lick someone with a very bad cold now, just in case.

Good point, although it was a bit cheeky of me to generalize anything these days as Von Neumann vs Harvard. Thanks for keeping me honestish. :)

Awesome, let's walk through every library, system, and machine call exercised by your ruby code. What happens if you gc while hitting a chunk of ram that was just hit with a corruption causing cosmic ray while your OS paged out your a

Tail calls are only helpful if optimized into jumps instead of function calls.

Mission critical applications tend to use working, proven, components. Why buy more complexity? What I find confusing about the article is that it describes how to avoid problems on a completely different architecture. ARM (Von Neumann) vs

Artists love creating other artists. We all mostly remember the hundreds of a-ha moments that changed our view of the world again . It's sad how eager most of us are to share the knowledge. :) Depending on where you are, you may do we

You may be in my boat, which is actually a wheat allergy. I had serious headaches, really irritable skin, unclear thinking, and other consequences until I went for a checkup on the advice of a similarly afflicted friend. I would recommend

If someone offers you money, take it. Smart salespeople shut up the instant the prospective says,"yes."

It's your tone more than anything. I read some of your previous posts to see if you were a d-bag and I came to the conclusion that you're not[1]. This reads more like the post was a button-pusher for you. I can relate. :) Unfortu

Addressed (hah) in the article. It's Turing complete for naive values of Turing complete.

It's a bit tongue-in-cheek. Much of the narrative is, with cute tidbits such as Code that self-modifies by calling read() is clearly the future of computing.

Exactly. As an immediate counter example, look at San Jose over the past 40 years.

I find it much easier to pixel-hawk and correct layout issues when I save an offensive generated page and then edit it in an HTML editing environment (Lighttable is good for this with JS/CSS weirdness as well). I can do the same with t

As a person who ended up in a kerfluffle over some things said to coworker friends, offsite, at a casual non-work event, I understand whereof you speak. However, the instant it's on site, talking to HR about it is the right thing to do

Remember when people were afraid to enter their credit cards online, so they would call a customer service rep and read it to that person over the phone? The key piece to keep in mind is that the info on that little piece of plastic is neve

Because the world sucks. Many times, your cc provider will detect suspicious activity and freeze your account, but one of the common patterns of card theft is a validation phase followed by a "hammer it until it cries" phase. It

In fact, this is how a lot of heavy iron operates. You can use the same "binaries" ('TIMI') on your i/System i/AS400/POWER7 and the system will recompile what is essentially bytecode and save the machine-

You should not use any card that does not give you a 100% guarantee that you will not be held responsible for erroneous charges. It really doesn't matter the retailer – they almost all suck. The older the company or the faster its gr

One of the key parts of this for consumers to keep in mind is that this is a massive PCI violation. Target neglected many of the most basic requirements in terms of network segmentation and data protection. Target is a large tier-one re

We found an 'agency' that was really one guy with awesome connections to designers, trade show staff (so we ended up at least 'Bronze' sponsors to every show with almost no outlay), where to spend money on presence, an
