If you are working to handle operations, it is important to know what you are responsible and accountable for. If this has not been formalized, then there will be responsibilities that will fall through the gap. Titles are one thing, but ro

I think the word following the TRIGGER WARNING should not be in bold. The way it is written, it practically screams RAPE. At the very least it should be gray. The other thing is perhaps to not spell it out completely, e.g. r*pe. On to the r

This is visually very interesting. You can tell that there is a lot of care being put into the transitions and all. It's a pretty competitive market out there in terms of "to do lists". With a good UI, it gives you a fighting chance. Sure i

Your site is a marketplace. What users need is trust in other users, not trust in your source code. What happens if someone loses your pricey lens? Or sells it on ebay and disappears? Those are the main issues. Furthermore, you aren't in th

Are your F# projects web-based or desktop ones? I'd imagine hand coding UIs to be rather cumbersome. I had a look around the web, and I couldn't find any sample open source F# applications that one can take apart.

What's your development workflow like? Do you try out bits in the REPL then paste into source? What about incremental compilation, is this done at all or does the F# interpreter recompile everything at runtime?

Let's briefly talk about gun ownership issues. There are two classes of people who use guns. Those who have a practical need for it, and those who use guns recreationally. The second group are not dissimilar to people who drive Dodge becaus

Gun control or the lack of it in the U.S. is ultimately due to regulatory capture by the gun industry. I'm sure legislators will draft into laws provisions that would make sure the legal gun industry retains its commercial upsides over 3D p

When Russian authorities jailed Pussyriot for dancing on a church altar under the charges of "hooliganism and inciting religious hatred", it is clear that the authoritarian streak had gone too far. Many people have thought Swartz's crime wa

Do you think Pussyriot would be free today if there were no laws against "hooliganism and incitement of religious hatred"? Once the prosecutors go after someone, they will try to win at all costs, to the point of ruining someone and their f

I don't use Rails, and read up on the vulnerabilities. Here's a quick summary: 1. This class of problems is not unique to Ruby. 2. Similar problems have been identified in Struts, and python's pickle. 3. Specifically in this case, YAML.load

On the other hand this is the other side of the equation: 1. As platform evolves, a system built on a dead product is itself a dead end. 2. Developers skills are also dead ended. 3. All the supporting products (build systems, test systems)
