After just roughly scanning the graphs I'd speculate that the ageing society plays a role. Which could explain why less liberal states are experiencing a rise of population, while the more liberal states are experiencing a decline. Which is

The single-best exercise for my back was doing squats. Those, probably mixed with deadlifts, build up my back muscles and my posture corrected itself. (I was slouching a lot.) I just can't think of anything more effective than those two exe

Congrats and I concur. I wasted 2 years at the gym before I stumbled over "Starting Strength". I just decided to go for it, because I had the feeling that most people, including me, are just messing around wasting time at the gym. And here'

As far as ergonomics I always liked the Mercedes door handles better than those of some other cars, where you can only open the door by gripping from underneath. Interface design and ergonomics go hand in hand. I think the iPhone is a good

People like to talk about their hobbies (and jobs)! Nothing wrong with writing down a few bullets about a language, especially since programmers like to argue about which language is the best.

I don't know. This is just old technology with a fancy label. Just use a video beamer or your computer screen. Next week on Kickstarter: A coffee table book about coffee tables.

There's some interesting things in this talk. Like finding bugs by reading code backwards. I find 99% of my bugs when I ask a colleague to help me find it and start explaining to him what I am trying to accomplish with my code. It just make

The article the author points to on Cuba is very good. I have been to Cuba and I find it quite accurate. Indeed, the news also spread via USB stick. If you ever go to Cuba why not bring some data. Be it music, video or pages of the Spanish

hm as someone who always has a few servers up in the cloud i found the idea exotic at first. especially since you dont need github, any ssh connection between two computers will do. but thats not always easy and the more i think about it, g

I speak bad Japanese after having worked there for a while. But Japanese is extremely context dependent. They leave out a lot of words and you just deduce the meaning. (Don't hit me if that's wrong, but that is what I remember thinking back

All you need to do is type "apt-get install git-core" or "brew install git" and you can try 95% of git out locally. Get a free bitbucket or github account and you can do most of the rest. :) OK, perhaps you are on Windows, then i am not sur

Not always true. We were working on a smartphone game with an original concept and kept blogging about it. Including telling about the idea and showing early gameplay video. It might have been a coincidence, but a virtually identical game a

Yes, good points, and good for Microsoft. But a sleeping Mac wakes up in about 2 seconds. And OSX had the copy dialog nailed down before. Not sure about multi-monitor support. I really wish Microsoft would make a real competitor to OSX in t

Unless Twitter angers their users greatly there's not much that can be done. Twitter stands for status updates just like Google stands for search. A competing product would have to have a (slightly?) different feature-set I think..

Well, at least it is in the "Opinion" section, and not filed under "News". I think the literature category is similar to say Paul Graham's essays. Which is not to say that the quality is comparable though.

I sometimes think I could eventually go into recruiting. As a freelancer I have met many many developers, I try to stay in touch with many of them, and I know what they can do, what they dislike to do, and so forth. And I know the technolog
