The Internet will provided it stays free and open. Through freely available information eventually we will resolve our petty differences, overcome destructive behavior and start fixing big problems like illness and space flight. Perhaps.

Apparently everyone is happy with Javascript, or there would be different scripting languages on the client-side. Apparently it wasn't an issue whether Javascript should be used in HTML5. Technically a <script type="text/python"> sh

I think Ubuntu first needs to brush up on its desktop-ui. There's still many little annoyances. For my use-case (dev + web) it's superior to Windows, but it's no OSX yet. And it wouldn't take that much to make it awesome. Example from 10 Se

This is a good example of an advancement in one area because a researcher from another area joined the effort. His engineering perspective allowed him to see the problem differently. It's like the opposite case, where for example a biologis

Hmm.. Don't use either but I don't see how indinero (which I just looked at) is useful at all. Say goodbye to accounting? With this? Really? Just use a spreadsheet if that's all you need..

He apparently also created crappy planes that killed many people, for example the F-104. Perhaps more bureaucracy is good sometimes.

"If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel—as far and as widely as possible." This is the best advice. People that never traveled, settled with their first girlfriend and took the first job,

Thank you for sharing these. Suggestions: Add hover- and mouse-down styles for all of them. For example "Launch" only has a hover-style, but does not change when you press it. (on Chrome/OSX at least)

If successful this can be copied easily and successfully by anyone. But I hope it won't succeed. Instead things like openid should be more widespread so I don't have to enter a captcha in the first place.

Yes, good. Eventually we will know everything about human mating behavior and sociology in general and then perhaps things like space exploration will be cool again. We should live in a world where the sexiest man imaginable is wearing an a

A friend was recently asked the same, also said no, and was declined the interview. He is a very capable software developer. It seems like being active on GitHub is slowly becoming almost a requirement in order to land a good job. I wonder

Yes it's a zen thing. But git after a while just pulls you in. From a marketing stand-point it's the awesome product kind that doesn't even need marketing. Word will spread on it's own. And does. btw, my favorite post on git still is http:

Sure, but this is also true for the city you are in, the neighborhood and the street. I'm not historian but I suppose throughout history the space that we call home became bigger and bigger as time went by. Perhaps first it was a cave, at s

Countries are such an old-school concept somehow. EDIT: Downvotes? Come on. Especially today, especially in our world of modern technology, physical location is less important than ever before. Where's the sci-fi novel where they abolished
