Absolutely, which is why breaking up the country geographically wouldn't work. And breaking up the country based on population density seems like a logistical nightmare.

We may be better off as separate countries, but the divide isn't red state vs. blue state. It's urban vs. rural. I'm in Atlanta, and most of us here wouldn't be happy at all living in a "deep south" country.

One of my web sites is run by a "bundle exec rails s" in a tmux window on an EC2 instance. New deploy? Run "git pull" (and maybe "rake db:migrate") in tmux pane and restart the "rails s" command. E

I still haven't seen a great reason to go NoSQL over, say, Postgres. I'll think about a good application but then realize that it'll be a PITA to do something slightly different than what I first imagined. What are good reas

For #1, the master password gets entered in when you need to decrypt the password file, right? Doesn't that mean that anyone who can read the input stream from your keyboard can decrypt all your passwords? I mean, I use a password mana

I question whether this is really more useful. You'd have to show that advertisers noticed that data was fake, and that they cared, and that they cared enough to pull FB advertising. To do that, you'd have to get a whole lot of p

It looks like it doesn't have to read data from a static gist file. It can read from any JSON source, and you can just have the formatting data in the gist.

But I feel like you're blaming the victims. It was actually people like Rupert Murdoch who set up the whole "our culture is being destroyed by PC run amok" thing, and they did it to gin up ratings for Fox News and to gain po

First, Roy Moore lost. It wasn't a resounding loss, but he did lose. Second, acting like an entire region as a monoculture is stupid and unproductive. We're all very, very different, and while there are some trends that are more

Why are you associating those douchebags with the south? Newt I get, but aren't the rest of them in NYC? The real divide in this country is rural vs. urban. Cities in the south are plenty progressive, and rural areas in the rest of t

How so? Stating your thoughts with conviction ends any hope of a reasonable discussion? Maybe if you're afraid of confrontation. For me it's an invitation to debate.

So here's a nice idea I had that I don't have time to implement: A specialized debate forum. Basically, two people decide to debate on an issue. They are the featured debaters. They write positions and submit them, and then the

People should be aware that this does not mean you shouldn't meditate. At least give it a shot. The risk/reward ratio is so heavily skewed toward reward (what are the risks, really?) that you'd be foolish not to try it.

I'm one of those possibly-rare people who considers the ebook experience superior to the physical book. No bookmarks necessary, can read on Kindle while home and continue reading on my phone while out, mega-cheap if you watch for deal

As long as neverssl.com still exists so I have some way to pop up the login page from captive wifi portals, I'm fine with everyone else going SSL. However, I basically agree that if you're just hosting a blog with no user interact

Have you heard the Shatner cover of this song? It's pretty great.

Atlanta used to be "Atlantan" but now the preferred nomenclature is "ATLien". Thanks, Outkast!

I oh-so-vigorously disagree. Building web sites is the fastest way to get a return on your learning investment. Plus there's tons of mature tech out there to learn, and plenty of educational material.

Man, I don't get why everyone's saying that we're insignificant because of this photo. As far as we know, we're the most exciting thing going on in this corner of the universe. There is probably no other place that has

I'd just like to say that it isn't permanent. You can change. I used to be extremely introverted; now I'm extremely extroverted. I still need a certain amount of alone time, and I'm fine with that, but I'm no lon

I know some Japanese, including the phrase "give me my money back", because I would constantly play the Japanese version of Ben Folds Five's "Song For the Dumped". So there's some anecdotal proof that this wor

Yeah, that's what's great about the company. How many companies can you say "they cost a little bit more, but I like them so much that I'm willing to pay it" about? I can count like 3. It's a testament to ho
