I'm a pragmatist, so anything which makes survival easier has value. Everything else is fun and games (not important enough to build businesses around and charge money for). Personally, I think it would be good to have two economies - a 'co

It's a sign of... wait, strike that. It's a huge red flag the size of the moon when a company with no revenue ( http://www.npr.org/2012/04/10/150372288/instagram-sells-for-... ) is sold for so much money. I would argue that Facebook and Goo

So those controls in the last link can be displayed in the workbook as views on command output? I've been toying with a similar idea for a while now - wasn't aware that there were already implementations of it. I think we're going to witnes

Have you noticed that this keeps happening on different forums? It seems to be an effect of a population threshold being reached and (possibly) the time the forum has existed (separate from the population size - how comfortable the members

I've never used Mathematica and can't find any good comprehensive explanations of the workbook paradigm. From the little I have found, it's basically a text editor interface where you can execute previously typed commands by hitting a short

This is an amazing killer app. Never before could I SSH into a remote machine from a desktop computer. </sarcasm>

The year of Linux on the desktop already happened a few years ago. I recently fixed a friend's PC by installing Ubuntu on it. Everything worked out of the box - sound, flash, games. All I had to do was adjust the audio input levels. The onl

I want a cloud everything. Docs, spreadsheets, filesystem, email, todo list, media player - everything. There's a niche in the OSS field for these kinds of applications at the moment.

I was a vim minimalist for a short while for the same reasons. They make sense in theory. In practise, all you really need to remember for regular vi(m) is :e. All the rest of the motions and commands you'll be using anyway. The amount of p

I think that though this is indeed one aspect of it, there's also the law of inertia (also known as habit/tradition/dogma). Most people are not mindful enough to adapt to their environment readily and end up lagging behind the reality they

In terms of analgesic potential anyway - http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/136/1/43 Orally, Heroin has a bioavailability of between ~25% and ~65%, depending on dose and tolerance, whereas Morphine has a bioavailability of 20-40%, maki

I've often wondered what it would be like to think in a rational language (i.e. one free of contradictions). I suspect that logic and reasoning would improve as a side effect.

I would consider having any final classes in a standard library to be a failure. One of the pillars of OOP is extensibility.

My point is that pollution should be reduced, climate models should still be developed and that at the same time we shouldn't take their predictions as dogma and continue to question them.

That's like saying that until we can quantify how far Paris is from London, "Paris is far from London" is a pretty empty statement. Pretty sure that people understood that locations can be some distance away from each other before they co

Call me a skeptic too in that case. Chaotic systems are inherently unpredictable to us, though they are ofcourse deterministic. The climate is chaotic ( http://www.mendeley.com/research/nonlinearities-feedbacks-an... ). Chaotic systems have

I've also been working a 4-day week this year and it's done me a lot of good. Gone are the days when I sat in the office and wanted nothing more than to run out and never come back. Now, there's plenty of time to rest and programming is fun
