I wondered about generic tools, but didn't find any that would solve this. There's nothing special about my code - it's really just collecting data from the incoming POST vars, rearranging them and passing them along. I thought it was inter

I've tried lucid dreaming with limited success over the years. Here are a couple of relevant links: - RadioLab is a great podcast, they did a lucid dreaming episode: http://www.radiolab.org/blogs/radiolab-blog/2012/jan/23/wake... - After

Gah! I didn't know Clint Mansell did the Moon OST. Must acquire. I have been listening for The Fountain soundtrack (by Mansell) while programming - and I love it. I also just discovered he did the Pi soundtrack. Other OST picks: Tron (and T

It's a good question. I am self-taught, and would never call myself a "self-taught computer scientist" ... "self-taught hacker" is just about right. For me the distinction would be that it's never going to get too theoretical, it's all appl

I got bit by the switch from Ruby to Node.js. The Node.js arrangement was considerably more difficult to set up on the older systems we maintain. Most annoyingly lesscss.org makes no mention of the switch away from Ruby. Our plan right now

I was a little dismayed at that point too - but I think the rest of the paragraph clarifies the point well. I think he's talking about a sincere spiritual journey, not "religious people" as commonly encountered. I'm an atheist, but I also t

Chrome 13 / OSX 10.6.8 - I can navigate the courses pages, but don't see the CLI interface (just the section list, and the Disqus discussion). Also it's not redirecting to any shebang URLs. Works fine in Firefox. (nice work btw)

Here's a minor one - handy, and I find most folks don't know it. To escape a frozen SSH connection: <return>~.

This is a great point - when I was trying to articulate (to myself) why I prefer the keyboard it wasn't necessarily any speed advantage, it was more like the "flow" advantage. Your point speaks to that. I think there's also a big difference

I'm always interested in the idea of learning a new shell - but the ubiquity of bash is what generally holds me back. I fear that switching gears for each system I log into would seriously break the flow.

I agree they can 'live together' through some kind of deliberate training (like meditation) - but also with the right tools (for example http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/products/writeroom )

wow - crazy that this popped up tonight. A friend and I just finished a project based on this. It's called "The Virtual State of Jefferson" - it's a router that alters pages to "claim" cities in that area. I just posted a tech description a

To be clear, my comment was made in surprise that that his creativity/passion goes unappreciated - I agree it's an amazing accomplishment. In general though I think the binary of warm/emotion vs. cold/heartless is kind of useless. As in his

I'm fascinated by this. It's interesting that in that context the creativity/passion/humanity of somebody like David Cope doesn't count. If he's writing software then it's just cold, heartless automation.

Deciding that spirituality is a defect from this is the wrong conclusion. The experience of spirituality itself is natural and desirable. As described in the article, it's "self-transcendence." I experience self-transcendence when I listen

I really like the first paragraph of this article, but at this point: "Art starts to happen when we project these personal maps back out on the world. Each of us has an impulse to express his or her experience of reality." He lost me. This
