I'd posit that the great leaps that occur don't happen because of one individual thinking 50–100 years into the future, but due to masses of individuals thinking 5 years ahead. The computer revolution came about because of many, many people

Is it productive to ask this sort of thing without differentiating by job description on a basic level?

Very nice, but I'd appreciate it if graph types/options were declared through HTML attributes rather than in text or in adjacent elements.

Is it a challenge, though? These 'focused' competitors in many cases might not actually take market share from their more general rivals. It doesn't need to be a zero-sum thing.

I tried calling myself an 'Application Developer' once before, and it lasted about 5 minutes, because I suddenly started receiving requests to build people's iOS/Android app ideas. I never called myself a back-end developer anyway; if peopl

I'd suggest implementing this as its own app—Adium, Pidgin etc. are just front-ends to libpurple, and this could probably be implemented as such, too.

“One thing that really makes the flat design trend work is that it is new and fun.” Not ‘a good idea’ or ‘usable’ or ‘accessible’, just different. EDIT: Just to take the snarky edge off, I want to mention that whilst this might have been qu

I understand this 100%, but 'hacking' versus 'hacking something' still feels different to me.

I wonder if it'd be worth implementing this in my URLObject library ( https://github.com/zacharyvoase/urlobject ).

It’s really easy to call issues like gay marriage ‘disagreement’ when you're a heterosexual. When it’s something which actually affects you, less so. When people or organisations support CISPA/SOPA/PIPA, for example…

Just an anecdote, which I know is not the singular form of 'data', but still: I respect Mozilla as a company, but have no desire to work there (despite there being a lot of technology fit) because the CTO, Brendan Eich, made a donation of $

One thing that worried me was the slide with just this text on it: Team selected Go in 15 minutes Is that really long enough to make a decision? I'm not saying it was necessarily the wrong decision. Just that 15 minutes isn't a who

The principle of dual circulation and 'bad money driving out good' is formulated as Gresham's Law. While this is typically applied to two currencies pegged by fiat, it would also apply to a pair of circulating currencies in which one is app

But my point is that the possibility of fiscal stimulus is not critical for a functioning economy, and in many cases simply does not work. I disagree with the monetarist principle that economic growth is stimulated by money injections—it's
