When I meditate I often combine it with tiny yoga exercises - not formal yoga poses, but just stretching and going where my body wants to stretch. What's funny is that I often find myself in a position similar to Muslim prayer (or, if

Yes, simply because I like the experience. "It feels good, man". There is a lecture by Alan Watts where he denounces the idea of "meditating on an idea" as well as meditating for personal gain - ie benefits to work &#x2F

There is a large difference between the ability to read emotions and "..vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another..". A great salesman can also be sociopathic. We are all salesmen to some extent,

I haven't seen anyone mention this but part of the success is that they had git in their name. All social platform successes aside, they had the right technology at the right time. Before I had ever heard of GitHub, I had seen presenta

This is true about infrequent updates - it may be more for providing the appearance of total control. I would love to see a user-friendly universal app for managing static sites (Jeckyl, Docpad) that is something someone of my Mom's te

I agree that React and all the sweetness it contains does have this effect when working on a large - or simply dynamic - application. But all of the benefits of the React Virtual DOM don't really come into play if the content is static

HHVM was needed at Facebook because it's a dynamic app with rapidly changing content. WordPress sites are typically static content that are perfectly fit for static caching with a CDN - it really shouldn't matter how many millisec

Static CMS's are great for personal projects, or very tech-friendly clients, but most clients paying for a website want the ability to manage content in a user friendly way. I'm sure the vast majority of WP sites have been built f

The thing about WordPress is that for most clients you'll likely end up running on a managed WP server like WP Engine. The vanilla WP environment means goodies like React (which requires V8 to compile on the server) and HHVM are not in

Very Nice. Writing glsl shaders is one area where live-reloading is a must. glslify has me excited, I've mostly used Three.js when writing shaders (even fullscreen no-geometry shaders) simply because they have libraries for loading im

Exactly - the ambiguity related to what is 'viable' is what allows any first-run product to be called an MVP. Nobody releasing a product into the wild is going to be 100% happy with every aspect of it - it is then labeled as a MVP

The warnings comparing carbon-nanotubes to asbestos are simply because of the shape of the structure - they are both microscopic needles and our white blood cells don't do a good job of breaking them down. Not all nanomaterials are dangerou

I'm sorry, but that's just not true. There have been 1000+ replications / reports of excess energy from this very same "anomalous energy effect" - the hard part is the how and why. See the very same Joseph Zawodny speak of "It has the demo

I've been following the Rossi Ecat spectacle since stumbling upon it in 2011, and I think LENR (cold fusion) will be the biggest story on the planet in a few months time. I'm a 'believer'. The Believers movie just came out a week ago: http

I'm not sure that this will ever be a fair statistic because coffeescript should never really be used for shared / module code IMO. I love CS for my application code but would never release a package on github in CS, only JS. Once you are

That is a good example, and something that is eased by syntax highlighting (although I rarely implement double-bar function literals, keeping a pythonic 'self = this' reference is preferrable in most cases) Although it is all subjective aes

I've been using coffeescript for about two years - I thought it was the best way to keep the pleasant aesthetic of python, which was my favorite language, and have been happy working with it ever since. I just want to throw out a positive e

I'm not so sure the "next Ruby on Rails" necessarily prescribes a full stack framework like meteor. They have an impressive demo that showcases what you can do with full stack javascript, but having spent a few years now in that full stack
