Oddly this turned out to be the right advice.

"keep moving" or something similar is the best advice.. growing to my 50s myself, and watching parents and grandparents, this is by far the biggest variable you can control. Keep learning, keep moving your body. When you're 1

I'm 47, and I don't feel that much decline, and in some ways I'm far more productive. I'm more targeted, experience makes me wiser than I was in my 20s, and the only thing I really notice is that I definitely have '

If you do it a lot, you get used to it. (I work with 350VDC and 120VAC a lot with sweaty hands)

Deserts are one of the cleanest natural environments. It's pretty easy to keep white stuff white there in comparison to grassland or forest (just to pick two at random)

A lot of good stuff here, for podcasts, I have to add Dan Carlin's 'Common Sense' and especially his fantastic history podcast 'Hardcore History'. http://www.dancarlin.com/

I agree, I've read a few 'screw Mongo, I'm going to SQL' type blogs, it really seems like they either didn't grasp how to architect Mongo correctly and tried to do things that don't work well with it, or they h

that agrees with my experience. Simple.com for example. Super easy and a great service. No paper checks, but there are others with paper checks. No jumping through hoops. They don't have brick and mortar offices, but I don't miss

(pure conjecture warning) Perhaps, but I tend to believe the data, as we depend more and more on the 'cloud' won't be tied to physical mediums (or particular physical mediums) and instead be towed along as technology and the

This is pretty neat. I think it's telling that after 50 years, and all the work on GUI's, this is still a good idea.

Hmm. multiple legs, exoskeleton, antenna. To the uninitiated person they share a lot more in common than I do to a Cod. We're not talking science here but perception.

A lot of what we eat (steaks, chicken nuggetts, hamburger, bacon) is dissasociated with the source form of the meat. This should probably be the inroad. If people get used to the idea that they're ingesting insects anyhow, then maybe t

I talked to my kids about eating insects the other day with the expected results in the form of 'ew' and such. We've spent so much time in modern society associating insects with disease it's hard to dissassociate. For s

Just listened to this on my way in to work. I was intrigued by the point that was made by the host that the real world is complex, and that increasing intelligence has diminishing returns. Making something a million times more intelligent t

I never mind verbosity in a programming language. Making things succinct at the expense of readability is a poor choice in my mind. If you don't like to type, any decent IDE can fix that for you.

Images instead? Although peppering of stories with boring stock photos isn't great either. Original art is of course expensive, but that would be best.

My bad, I didn't see that you can put things in folders at least.

Hmm. No way to work with the files directly, no organization tools, seems like just a pile of files which doesn't help me much. Maybe it's because I'm in linux and can't use their desktop client.

I agree - also the idea (which you hint at) that life and the environment are not static. The idea that change is bad, is myopic and very human, although very understandable when change involves your environment disappearing.

I've been seeing a few of these libs pop up on HN lately. Apparently there's some sort of need here that people are trying to fill, it's just not clear to me what it is. There are legitamite suggestions that blocking UI parad

You're right if that's the only variable. Corporations love to be the only player, and tweak government to make sure they are. Normally without interference, they rarely have a monopoly for long.

If all I'm doing is domConstruct.put() instead of $().append() then of course you're right. Dojo in addition to browser normalization and other good things that jQuery does, suggests a structure that works pretty well. jQuery to m
