I agree. But I do not have the time to go back and do another degree on design. Try convincing people with money to shell out extra for someone with good design experience. I guess once we have millions of customers we might have to think a

Even though Ed has a really cool project I am guessing since he does not have a business model it must be hard for him to work on it :( Unless he figures out how to convince people who are : 1| C# Developers 2| Interested in OS development

Babel has way too many errors. I do not care if I am a grandpa for using 2014 tools - but I am not pushing ahead until things calm the fuck down.

"Set of Standard Resources" Check out Material Design by google - its been a lifesaver to me who is from a very technical background. Best part is with very little work you can really impress your bosses ! Good Luck

I have been seeing a lot of talk about JSPM. How is it different from NPM ? since I just use it to do everything.

You can always see biases in each case. Bill Gates, Musk, etc are going to lose a fair bit of their power, prestige and wealth when someone does finally create super intelligence - Windows and Space X are great but those achievement will be

I find it funny that we leave it to the economist to decide the fate of research. I remember in uni I found EE topics much harder and boring then Software topics. Anything below C is a big nope. Verilog, VLSI, FPGA, anything to do with embe

This is so annoying. There is no shortage of things for people to do - especially if you are young. On one hand the government cannot figure out how to pay for rising education cost, healthcare cost, doing simple fixing of roads, etc. On th

I agree strongly with this - its the same flawed logic when it comes to "idealistic democracy in the middle east". Once the poor have some access to social media - it will automatically generate demand for more and better services

Richard Hamming ( the person who came up with hamming distance ) has an interesting insight - based on the rate of sub-fields being created in mathematics - he concluded that by the year 2000 there would be 1000 different sub-fields for eve

Sublime Text 3 works really well for what I need. I tried atom editor / shell / electron ?? But it seems its in constant flux. I am waiting for things to settle down and then move on to using it since its open source. I think the

I am not sure if research is getting more expensive. The biggest problem with particle colliders is not the experiments themselves but paying researchers money to slough through the data.

I am highly skeptical of anything coming out of Accenture. What do they even do in 2015 ? Last time I heard - they operate on the margins of global inequality - outsourcing anything they can get their hands on to pay pennies on the dollar f

The videos are good but something is just off ( uncanny valley ?) about the way the person presents. It seems really fake :(

As a mere mortal - How hard would it be for a day programmer to built something cool like an JavaScript engine ? I sometimes have crazy thoughts about the world ending. How hard would it be to built your own javascript engine from scratch ?

This law is so stupid that it turns out and becames really funny. You might have american citizens who are the descendants of lincoln - but just because they forgot to pay some "money" - they are not americans anymore. Punishment

Took a entire module on Bayesian Method in University. Failed it. Gave the exam a second time - this time I spent the whole summer studying it - failed it again :( At this point I think bayesian methods is one of those things like Monads -

Read "Learn you a good haskell" - and practice the exercises in that book. It helped me a lot to understand the practical side of functional programming. For a book that maximizes the utility of functional programming in your ever

> The more 'batteries included' something is the more time you'll spend learning about the eco-system and less about the language per-se. Not necessary. As a young programmer who did not grow up in the java dominated world

Its market forces that created this condition. I remember reading about this expert - he spent 20 years becoming an expert on blade design for aircraft engines. We need more people like that but its hard to think what incentives we provide

The open source world is flouring in 2015. There is no shortage of amazing teams working on amazing projects on the web. Its hard to single out just one of them - so its best if we could know more about your background. If you are unable to

The whole thing with california reminds me of the story about that one civilization in the pacific - "what were they thinking when they cut down the last tree ?" Water exists until it doesn't.

The main reason Asynchronous programming exist is because file operations are slower than CPU. With SSD and more hardware innovation how true will that stay ? I do think evangelizing async programming is a good think. Async programming is

Its the same everywhere. Programmers underestimating the value/knowledge of accountants/lawyers. Businessman assuming tech work is simple. People by default assume what looks simple for someone to do must be simple - even if they

"knowledge of biology" I am not sure you fully appreciate what " knowledge of biology" means. As a programmer who did a lot of molecular biology in the past - doing molecular biology is not simple. The learning curve for

China is almost like a big blackhole. Destroying industries one by one - the coolest thing about it is they are only doing it to improve the standard of living for their people - having a global monopoly is not the #1 reason. Like the rest
