But there are so many things that are propagated that aren't important. Consistently negative world news, for starters.

The courses you took in a University hold merit in the system. Other people in University can evaluate you better by knowing which classes you pass or fail, because they know the difficulty of said classes. It works well in a closed system.

They should follow an IRC or Jabber model. Anyone can host an IRC/jabber server. Maybe App.net can make an industrial twitter server to be hosted on windows, *nix, etc. But of course, that's not what App.net is going after. That is what I t

I imagine that 'education' that most kids are forced to have to be considered as 'involuntary servitude', then. Age withstanding, even if you don't see them fit to make their own decisions.

You know, there is a merit to balancing descriptions between technical and understandable to the uninformed. That doesn't mean every post has to explain what a monad is or the ideology behind NoSQL vs SQL, but you can't just assume everyone

| Another great thing is that shell scripts and pipes naturally and automagically take advantage of multi-core systems What about the sharing of state?

More volume, cheaper per unit pricing, same support overall, more or less. Cheap app prices are certainly setting the bar higher.

But think of the reduced complexity (in terms of characters) this language is! This makes me think of the small amount of primitives needed to make a LISP machine. Or Brainfuck. Or Unlambda.

I would like to say that age is not indicative of capabilities. That could have just as likely happened to a 25 year old or 65 year old.

Simple statement: stop being so cool . On a related note, keep at it. I hope you go places. And where/how did you get the idea? Things like this make me wonder why I'm not having fun creating neat (and useful!) things.

Were you following Qt closely, to know about all these Qt attempts? It's a shame that Qt on other platforms didn't work out... It would be a nice alternative to HTML5 and iOS and Android defaults.

Maybe you just had a bad approach? Linear algebra is loads of fun, methinks. And you need a good teacher or appreciation of the material for that. And it's something you slowly forget if you don't put it to use.

Apart from not being prejudiced against the 'bridge and tunnnel' crowd and cheaper rates, what differentiates AlleyNYC from other coworking spaces? General Assembly and New Work City also offer classes and host events. I know there is an in

Personally, I think that everyone should have some form of programming chops. If only so people can program in the features that they want/need into the software they use. That's why I think programmers as users (that can contribute back!)

I'm going to be a bit pedantic: switching to another editor is also effort spent. Learning how to use Eclipse, IntelliJ, Visual Studio, Vim, Emacs, ed, etc. etc. Some stuff is simple (text input from a keyboard), but they each have their ow

Sorry, I didn't mean to attack you or anything. I'm just praising the model and abilities of open-source and how much power it gives to the user. I'm extending this idea of rolling your own code to anything/everything open-source, not just

I just want to mention that it's a lot easier to replace and swap parts in a PC than on a phone or tablet. Mobile devices are unmodular solutions that one can't swap out for 'newer parts', the way desktops, and to some extent laptops are. I

I think it would be nice if you expanded the look of your resume to your webpage. Your resume looks impressive, your landing page, much less so. I like the look of consistency.

That is impressive. That's a lot of work to hide your activities from other people, though. Sufficiently paranoid? I say yes. But then again, I have not met many impressive hackers in real life. How much reading up did you have to do to fig

It's better than nothing. The lack of activity means the author isn't very interested in continuing the project. But you can find another lead developer to run the project, at least. That's the merit of open-source.
