This. For all the, "Where's my jetpack?" angst in the world of science fiction fanboys (I am one) and start-up builders, there seems to be a disconnect with the rest of humanity on this issue. If the chance of failure…
It's fascinating to meet people like this with the intention of learning about confirmation bias. It's amazing the delusions people will grip on to maintain social status and some semblance of personal integrity and…
To further add to your point: developers now have control over the means to production and, unlike the industrial revolution, we programmers do not need access to capital and expensive manufacturing equipment to build a…
After reading through some of your older, down-voted comments, I noticed a trend of rebuttals. Both your comments and their replies are valuable points of conversation in the topics. While you may think some are > dumb,…
No. Don't do this. I don't want the comments here to have a chilling filter like this. We need diversity of opinions even if some of them aren't liked. That is part and parcel of healthy debate. There should be fringe…
TV's, Software, and Toys are cheaper, and notably the only categories cheaper on that chart from BLS. Well, it looks like this is good at keeping rioting off the streets; everyone is too distracted consuming tech.
In it's most basic premise, life is perplexingly defined as "not death". And what is life other than a struggle to fight entropy? Sisyphus is happy, and I would argue - alive!…
>"Access to developers is a bigger constraint than access to capital" As software continues to eat the world, I am reminded of Uncle Bob's blog on a Hippocratic Oath for software developers and the gravity behind the…
I think a healthy level of social media use is to share photos, and ask for advice and recommendations. Anything else is social engineering that you are a deliberate manipulator of or unbeknownst participator. Flame…

As long as consumers follow along, this will not change. We've allowed the US healthcare system to become a toxic cesspool of greedy insurance companies with laughable and corrupt government oversight. IMHO, The only…
This reason alone (the ads to other Prime shows) is why I cancelled my Prime subscription and also was the final nail in the coffin on why I stopped using amazon all together. Amazon started to piss me off when they…
Just curious - how do you manage bills/finances?
"Is it free? This website is free. But you have to pay a small amount of ether as a transaction fee for deploying your cryptocurrency contract." Shut up and take my money... to the moon!
A good rant and first foray into politics for the OP, I would imagine. C'est La vie. IMHO, the next step for OP is to learn how to play the game and add "finding a paying customer" to that list of what's next. Google…
I drink coffee. Up to three cups a day when working over 12 hours. Beyond that? No. I have an occasional glass of red wine at night, but have little desire to ever try any other drug. I am curious about the effects of…
This isn't user experience. It is Marketing 101. What a user feels about content is more concerned about persuasion than it is interactive behavior with the software. Your software shouldn't get in the way between the…
Pen and paper. I keep a small notebook wedged under my desk and a back-up in a fire safe.
I have been without access for 4 hours now. I have been with Capital One 360 since they were formally ING Direct and this is the first major outage I have experienced with them. Other than today, I have had a wonderful…
This story immediately reminded me of Scott Adams. He spent some time working on financial models before writing Dilbert. If you can stomach polarizing political viewpoints from a cartoonist, I would highly recommend…
The pain of implementing an ORM and the generated code between OO and Relational Databases might be low hanging in it's explanation, but writing a language that does this is probably a Hard Problem. I wouldn't call that…
Wow. I'm speachless. I remember when Obama visited the TechShop near me in Pittsburgh. This was supposed to be the next big thing! The harbinger into the Uberization of the workforce. What a bummer and major…
That's a real humdinger!
Nature isn't fair. Death is the norm for most life. Eat or be eaten. Kill or be killed. The fact you are alive now, and are intelligent ,and have enough resources to contribute to this discussion is already extreme…
I would highly recommend "Jump Start Your Brain" by Doug Hill. On page 88 there is a "Eureka" formula you can use to generate ideas. (#of good ideas = ((number of stimuli)^(diversity))/fear) Once you have an idea, just…
