Wow, there are some great new tools to explore. Thanks! Some of the new libraries I'm using this year that I've found really handy include: Odo - http://odo.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ It is ridiculousl

I have really enjoyed Nick Harkaway's novels. He is John Le Carre's son. He also has a story in the latest MIT Tech Review Science Fiction Anthology.

Big city firefighters need these. They could fly up skyscrapers and rescue people or bring hoses way up there. Mountain rescue teams could use them to extract people or get first aid to the sides of cliffs. I remember watching Navy Seals j

To unionize you need to have time to interact with your co-workers. You have to convince everyone that unions are not evil. And I'm not even sure unions are legal in the US any more. In the article they feature UPS as an example, ye

In many parts of the US the average joe has to have a car to do anything. There is no safe passage to anywhere without getting in a car. Pedestrian and Bikes are discouraged, and there is no practical public transportation.

On the other hand, some kid who is researching a report for school may actually need factual and accurate information. It seems possible they'll use the web to fill in the gap, but a lot of parents are very reserved about letting elem

So we are saved and we don't have to worry about global warming any more, nor even food shortages? All we need is lots of water and to farm in the desert. Awesome.

I could see an artist doing timelapse of their art project using this. Although I'm not sure they'd need the tracking ... How about a construction site timelapse? Again, not sure about needing the tracking... The autotracking ti

Somewhere in the infrastructure there has to be mutable servers - databases and log servers at the least. I can't think of many architectures where everything can be a closed appliance. Are they suggesting that every time you need to

Another caveat is that you have to wait 72 hours after the event before you can be reasonably sure the counts aren't going to change any more. Sure, you get some results immediately, but for some reason, some take a long time to settl

I've also read that sleep can help with weight loss - but maybe that is a stress related side-effect.

So rather than remake a legacy business, you could start a new racing league. Give it a new name: "Z1" racing or something. I'm pretty sure the venue owners always appreciate new draws for crowds. You'd need to recru

Make your own! All 4 of those foods are surprisingly easy and cheap to ferment yourself. The best books on the subject are by Sandor Katz. There is lots of information online as well. I drink homemade Kefir (with a bit of honey) every mo

But rhythm and timing and note relativity are ridiculously hard to get right (especially for beginners). This is a great exercise for one of the more challenging parts of playing music well. Plus, the audience is much more likely to notice

So should developers learn more about how low level libraries work so they can make better code? ie, should we be fostering more Kami-Sama developers? Or do you really not need to know that stuff, and focus instead on putting together high

I don't - offhand. Back when I was taking classes in it, the industry was collapsing in China because of water pollution. I have been reading about blue-green algae tides and chemical spills and other issues affecting the industry th

You have to be organized and thorough. You are going to do a lot of stuff no one appreciates or cares about unless you don't do it. (such as backups) Organized and thorough and don't forget backups. You can never have too many

20 years ago we were talking about shellfish aquaculture as the answer to this problem (which was obvious even then). The lower on the food chain you go, typically, the lower the production costs. Filter feeding mussels, scallops, and oys

It is also really heavy weight. I run RethinkDB on a system 1/3 the size of the minimal Couchbase system and still get excellent performance. The system requirements for Couchbase made it a turn-off for me.

I have 3 macs. One of them is an older iMac. I can't put enough RAM in it to run Mavericks (which is a memory hog). It is a perfectly good computer, there is no reason to upgrade from Lion. The next one is a 3 year old Mac Mini. I

I'm really not sure what they mean by "track something on the web". Do they mean "monitor price changes for something you might want to buy sometime with push alerts when the price changes"? Their screen shot is a p

I was underwhelmed by Postico when I tried it. On the other hand, I've been underwhelmed by pretty much every one of these tools over the past few years. Some minor complaints about Postico: 1) Most of the time I am not changing ddl.

I suspect women never really talked about menopause until recent decades, yet they have been experiencing it throughout the existence of our species. (Although there is that traditional "Maiden, Mother, Crone" thing. Hmm.) Anywa

In our office it is popular because we have 3 or 4 different kinds of coffee. Everyone can get a fresh cup of their favorite flavor. No one has to "make the coffee" before everyone can get some. Instead everyone makes their own
