If a developer is too good to do FizzBuzz for me, then probably he's too good to work for me, and should do us both a favor and go away. I imagine that each time he needs to do something, he'll be asking himself whether it's

Something that might be really interesting: do it with moving video rather than a single image. There are several ways it might work, each of which could look very different.

It's worth noting a key difference between Seattle and San Francisco has to do with gentrification and differences between these areas in terms of where you can work and live. It's much more practical to both live and work in dow

Anyone who thinks we're using programming technology of the 70's probably wasn't programming in the 70's. Today it's routine to create systems in a handful of days that would have taken a larger team a much greater

I would do a marijuana-focused startup. Marijuana has a real impact to improve people's lives in an abundance of ways. Culturally, it's not very well accepted now, but that will change. To me, it's a lot like sex: a couple

For my own education: Python with a good standard packaging system and solid, standard async capabilities would be solidly going after the same areas Node.js has done so well in? If not, why not?

It seems possible to me. I know Sucralose is actually made from sugar as a starting point, then they chemically alter it. As for can it be harmful, maybe so: "A Duke University study[35] funded by the Sugar Association found evidence

I think it's actually different for different people. My understanding is that someone with a high body fat percent can sustain quite a bit of an exercise regimen for a while with low carbs, consuming their fat for energy. But eventu

By "Fat that you eat can be converted into energy" I meant that just because you eat fat doesn't mean it's going right to your belly or hips. And a lot of people are terrified of consuming 5 grams of fat, but think nothi

Fat is not the enemy. Fat that you eat can be converted handily into energy. An overabundance of carbs is the enemy! It's hilarious to me that people who think nothing of downing a 48 oz Dr Pepper, then getting a refill, after a dinn

There are cases where leaving a greater-than-normal lane spacing makes sense, in the interest of safety. Safety is something utterly ignored in the fascinating analysis in this article. For example, if I'm in a left lane buzzing alon
