I feel I have to point out that there are big problems that can be considered well by a group of experts in excruciating detail, that a rolling release does not help. Specific example: RDFa vs microdata. One was well understood, the other m

Oh I really do miss optional type hinting in. Theres a lot of raise ArgumentError.new unless foo.kind_of? Bar Going on in my code these days.

Stuff that hasnt changed markedly: geometry math, statistics. SQL - 1970s. SOLID - parts of that are late 1980. C still looks like C. Unix like environments. Awk/sed/etc. Go read about the history of the web or XML; you get a very

Interesting - I can do 3000-4000 calories through cycling and get away with only a small protein rich meal (scrambled eggs + steak) after. Even today, another 2 hour mild session (appx 1000 cal) and have only had light breakfast, coffee + p

> What I don't understand is why anyone thought using XML that way was a good idea, and why it still is popular in the enterprise. Bad habits are hard to break, I guess. Namespaces, which then gives you easy answers for Internation

I tend to live tweet stuff into slack, makes it useful to dump into other tools or get input from others who arent there, eliminates a lot of status update / meeting recaps

Second bit of feedback - http://improve-osm.org/ does a pretty good job of highlighting areas of potentially unmapped areas. Via slack, I've made the suggestion to them to open their platform up to multiple sources suc

Would you consider something like Strava's aggregated GPS traces to complement how confident you are with detected roads? For example: http://labs.strava.com/routing-errors/#250/17/-46.42546/-21....

I find the interoperation problems of software alarming - you would think open source tools would grow in use at some point, even if just the basics (ie: postgres/postgis, or tools dumping csv out to other tools, or one or two REST api

Could we create open standards? Yes. Will businesses? Probably not. A lot of 'apps' for food act as an aggregator, which is the closest I can come to an API. But they are locked into one provider - hell, even getting opening hours

And you should build tools that keep on giving: the point of journalism is to watch authority - humans cant do it all.

by clockwerx 10y ago
Does it really though? Those are trivial problems to solve: dont show users tools they dont use via roles/permissions; dont execute code that is unrelated to the current purpose.

Its more about autonomy: after the basics are taken care of, how do I avoid depressing things caused by other people affecting me?

If you went on holiday the cat would more likely starve than roast. Australian and many other cats also regularly endure high heat - 32 degrees C plus. The author really should have left that out or thought it through a little more, detrac

Simple fix: apply inner platform effect to your benefit. Either highlight a 'high level feature management tool' (trello/wrike/etc) different to your development workflow, or abuse the current tool by requesting very

I wish linkeddata.org or ckan installs weren't being reinvented here, but instead ckan supported pull requests or similar decentralized ways to publish new data sets

Oh and: want to market yourself as a tutor? I'd pay a reasonable rate for 1:1 tutoring on the math side of things for an hour or two a week. Get a few recurring people at the right rate, you get the novelty of a stream of problems othe

How deep do you feel your learning is? Are you comfortable with SOLID concepts for example? I find a lot of intermediate developers who aren't, or the implications of it despite a lot of different toolsets being conquered. I would sugg

The problem is I think you will find that no one thinks they are doing evil; yet their actions end up causing more harm than good. Stanford prison experiment, Milgram, etc show this ability to rationalize and do things socially unacceptable

I enjoy cycling a bucketload. I get a sense of achievement regularly, my health improves, etc. Not a magic bullet but not a high barrier to entry: find a group ride and go.

Incorrect. The first rule of mismanagement club is to never know exactly how you got into mismanagement club; but by god you are going to do a bang up job of it now you are in!
