Perhaps I'm just not disciplined enough with money, but I know if I had that type of cash I'd definitely be doing some really interesting things artistically to push the scope and scale of art today. I'd love to see art of 10

A friend who was the co-founder of a very large company in the early 2000's that went public told me two things shortly after meeting him: 1) Take having fun seriously 2) Getting lucky is fine I know he worked hard on things, but basic

Sadly, no mention of microglia as a possible cause. I can't explain it myself, but someone who was close to me was researching this extensively and was often frustrated by the over-focus on amyloid.

I think one issue there however is that nearly anyone can sell through Amazon. I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that to be a pharmacy distributing via Amazon would require some level of licensure well beyond what it takes to sell XBox control

Type safety would change my world. Lack of it is the #1 thing causing errors for my company. You can either program defensively around it, jump through NilObject patterns (about the best option), or over-document every method which then wil

I work on Ruby 95% of the time. If there's no well-configured Rubocop setup, I get that into place as my first order of business almost immediately.

Pretty good. I played around 4th/Ice Age through Mirage when I was in grade school. There's some neat new things. There's the Commander format, which is neat. I've got no idea what semi-pro/pro playing looks like th

I decided to shave my head a few times in my 20's just to see how it looked on me. It looks great, so I'm not worried about that fallback plan. Thankfully at 35, I have barely receding hair and a blue mohawk, so I'm probably

This happens way too often. I wish I knew why systems ended up like this. Seems to be a business opportunity to fix them once and for all. This is 2018, we can do better

So... I'm a white dude, and I 100% think I could get a job at Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc and that none of these policies would hold me back. Why are you so afraid of these policies? If you're good you'll still get the job.

I think you're missing the point. The issue is about disenfranchisement, barriers to employment, systemic power dynamics, historic (and current) laws biased against groups, etc. Those in the conservative party do not have a barrier to

I'd like to see approval rating (when we have them) mapped over this data, and also some metric for how much they actually got done (bills passed vs brought to vote?) I can't help but feel (and I wish I had more data for this) tha

Stack Overflow diving for otherwise poorly understood concepts can be a good starting place. I wish there were more good blogs about testing, refactoring and teamwork on Rails projects. Not idealized forms of it, but talking about real re

Isn't pressuring them to lower prices (at least a bit) what the insurance companies do themselves?

I've tried to tell companies time and time again that building the core foundation of the business on an external service like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter is doomed in the end. This happened 10 years ago when Twitter locked down a lot

This is going to sound stupid, but every time I flush a toilet on a plane I have the visceral feeling of the plane being depressurized and rather dislike it. I know the plane is safe and it's a fine mechanism, but still...

I concur; just replacing some sewer pipes on Cedar St in Somerville is taking 2+ years of construction, and plans have been underway since 2013 and still aren't done. It's a residential street without too much odd about it. https

I'm a Rubyist. Why are Python users so doubled down on keeping on with Python 2? I can't imagine using Ruby 1.8.x at this point, and even older versions seem well outside the realm of consideration.

Every time i've tried to use some combination of a Spice program and something like EagleCad I get really lost quickly. It's clearly software written for people who already know what they are doing. Do you have any good resources

This might be a dumb question (I spend most of my days in Ruby), why can't this compile with gcc and make? It's all just C (and a few files C++) right?

One thing to keep in mind is that not-all people who are blind are completely without vision. There's a lot of variations of blindness, and the need for accessibility. There's a good chance that some people needing to read braille

I wish more older games would have their source released, even if not under the GPL. I worry that for many games the source is simply lost forever. At least put it out there for preservation in some way!

I switched to Apple product in 2002, because at the time they were absolutely better than Windows 2000 for my needs (mostly Protools, and eventually Logic 7). Windows at the time was a mess and poorly supported most pro hardware and vendors

I wish I enjoyed Andrew Ng's Deep Learning courses. For him being the cofounder of Coursera the production quality (audio/video) was pretty lacking. The whine/distortion on the audio made it difficult to listen to on headphon

Also, no one's asking to have it paid for. I've noticed over the past few years that a lot of things go un-made because there's an assumption that no one will pay for something if it's done really well. The reality is a

I think you're touching on something here. Around the launch of the iPhone (and rise of Androids) many companies that got on the mobile-first bandwagon survived, and those that assumed web-only to be the best way really quickly died. I
