Fuck that! I was totally going to use mongrel2 to write my distributed internet operating system / facebook replacement / iPad app ( I'm this close to getting a post on Techcrunch about it, which means $FUNDING$!! ) . Unfortunately, I occ

Holy shit, you nailed it. Now I'm thinking of Metamagical Themas as an early 80's new wave album. (And GEB is all about barouque symphonies and Don Knuth)

Gödel, Escher, Bach is one of the most beautifully bizarre, transcendent creations I have ever come across. I wish every computer programmer that I ever heard say something silly like "I don't like art", or "I don't read that much" could

Same here, I've ended up buying the book about 4 times now, from random mishaps or just giving my current copy to a friend. I've tried at times to get almost everyone I know to read it, regardless of their backgrounds (usually not math/scie

I've been wondering when he would get to clojure, given how much he has covered lisp and emacs, even going so far as to promote emacs because as "the last stronghold for lisp programmers". Given his involvement with foo camp, and his covera

One very real reason is that it has a horrible name. If someone brought this up in a project planning meeting, most of the initial questions would revolve around how to spell it and what it meant, rather than what it does. Project and produ

It might be that said bloggers are in the throws of the Dunning-Kruger effect. And possibly trying to suss out which side they are on, by asserting that they understand it through a blog post.

I've recently moved to protocol buffers and am quite happy with the results. Before that, we had a few tomcat apps with ad-hoc urls that return xml responses. Since we already have a good http request/response channel, I was able to create

Stack Overflow was a good stab at solving the problem, and the UI execution was excellent, as well as the promotion of the site by two widely-read bloggers. My personal frustration with the site is that their engagement model was a little t

Who cares? Whats the point of writing even more drivel about the iPad, it really doesn't matter. The fanboys already have one, and the people who don't want them or don't care certainly won't have their mind changed with this fluff. edit: h
