I'd like to know how much water this makes in how long. A hair dryer is no 60w bulb, that's for sure.

I have a liberal arts degree, and I've been a residential carpenter for the last 13 years. I guess the money I earn puts me in the middle class. Looking back on that time it's fair to say I've left a lot of money on the table by not seeking

I think the consensus might be underestimating things like Project Glass and new directions in keyboards (microfluid haptics, perhaps even more radical designs). For example it seems like it didn't take long for people to accept in-ear head

The writing example isn't that sound. First he asks if you can teach 'good' programming, but then expects 'great' programmers to come of it. Rhetoric like that smells a little fishy. Then he rests his conclusion, that great programmers can'

The essay doesn't say when those experienced programmers started learning to code.

Debt isn't some random accident like getting hit by a car while crossing the street. No, but distressed debt can be.

Does anyone have a number for the size of the consumer distressed debt market? Not getting much luck searching so far.

You make it sound as if people who play by the rules can't have distressed debt. Is that what you mean?

As a user of an x41 'twist', I'm definitely curious about this new wave of tablets. I wonder how they'll compare to something like an x220t though? Will the price point be convincing enough to accept the reduced performance?

I read recently that in medieval England large distributed families (i.e. families with lots of extended cousins in different towns and counties) had important network effects for finance, information, and so on. It was a great benefit to h

My favorite saying on motivation, which your experience seems to prove is "motivation is acquired, not required".

I like these posts, the presentation is quite good IMO. You see the old game state --> new game state pattern a lot in functionally written games, but something about that has always seemed off to me. The functional retrogames series of

In niche MMOs it's not unusual for users to spend over 20 real dollars/month on micro transactions. I don't know what an average multiplier in terms of in-game transactions would be but 3x doesn't seem out of the question.

Exactly; even though the article mentions the meaning of the graph, it seems to misinterpret it anyway. From my perspective as a residential carpenter I see a continuing decline in the cost of labor combined with increases in efficiency due

Text adventures (interactive fiction), and muds for that matter, are alive and well. I've been an active participant in both communities for many years so I feel like I have some perspective on it; in fact I'd say text adventures have seen

I use a Stylish style ('more minimalist') that removes everything but the inbox list and the search box. I'm not sure but I think this is safer than an extension. For my personal taste it's finally made Gmail pleasant to use.

He says, is "Clojure the language that will take us into the massively-multicore regime? I don’t know. In fact, I rather doubt it". He does point to it as a step in the right direction.
