Bricklink.com is a lot like that. They have a large catalogue of set inventories and a database of sellers' stocks of bricks.

Here's a how-to video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IGytOTiZJg

I don't think it's suggesting that quantum effects play a major role in the movement of the stock market, just that quantum models can be applied to finance with different parameters That said, I can't find a clear rationale for choosing this particular model.

Thanks for posting that. Where would a PHP programmer go to get a foothold in Scala web development?

This article in Popular Mechanics explains it a bit better http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/energy/a25922/apollo...

Have you looked at Hack? It has all those features.

This seems to be the way that commercial Wordpress themes are sold. 100% GPL licensed, but sold in the normal way. eg http://crowdfavorite.com/carrington-build/docs/faq/#license. It seems to be working.

And the wheel, that was revolutionary.

That's a really useful insight. What particular problems did you run across in Python that Java/C++ handled better?

Tim "4 hour workweek" Ferris actually did something similar using virtual assistants. http://blog.timferriss.com/1/post/2009/07/how-to-tim-ferriss...

I find it really helpful to write little notes and diagrams to help visualise the problem and as a basic mnemonic technique. There's not much space in your short term memory so it's better to offload some of the work if you can. I've started reading Your Brain at Work. It explains how your brain operates in laymans terms and offers some workarounds for common problems.

Help! My digital self has been enslaved by corporate missionaries and forced to drink coke. Can we calm down on the emotive metaphors a little so I can see the actual point?

You might also want to listen to The Search For The Perfect office, another BBC documentary on the subject http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b036wfzv

Just read it in the voice of Hugh Grant.

You can use a trampoline like the one the author has written in this library https://github.com/fogus/lemonad/blob/master/lib/lemonad.js#...

Basically you rewrite your recursive functions so that instead of calling another function they return a parameterless closure. Then you can iteratively call your first function, and the function it returns, and the function it returns etc until the return value is not a function.

I was attracted by the basic looking design, but I can't work out how to do anything. Why am I subscribed to a huge number of random feeds? How do I get rid of them? How do I view the content of the feed instead of opening a new window on the original site?

It's very easy to make up a story like the one about MS Word after the event. Not so easy to predict in advance who these influencers are, who they influence, and if they exist in the first place. Duncan Watts has researched this and there's an interview here. http://www.adweek.com/news/advertising-branding/scientist-in...

" They throw parties or they give away free samples or they advertise in particular publications that brand themselves as reaching an influential audience and run some campaign in their normal manner. And if it works, they say, "We reached the influencers." And if it doesn't work, they say "We didn't reach the influencers" or "We weren't able to make them help us." In that sense, it's just a rhetorical device to help you explain the randomness that you actually experience in the world. "

The Vogon spaceship interior was a reused set from Alien.

Odd that the article keeps calling it a scam. He was their most productive employee.

Not about V for Vendetta, but my when my wife saw Animal Farm for the first time a couple of weeks ago she thought it was pretty accurate.

V can be interpreted any way you want depending on who you think the bad guys are. The Chinese government was established by revolutionaries after all.

Being able to program is not that uncommon a skill anymore. Just as you might expect customers to have a certain degree of literacy and numeracy, you can expect a growing number of them to be able to program.

TL;DR

One of his many companies is bankrupt, as a ruse to avoid paying money he owes.

ClojureScript a Clojure to JS compiler.

Surely its because they have a strong cycling culture that cycling is not seen as something extraordinary that requires special safety equipment. It makes about as much sense as a walking helmet.

So did I. The viewing browser now displays the screen as it was at the time I killed the process. I guess it hasn't told that the session has ended.

Sounds like Envato is a good marketplace to be in. The GPL hasn't been much of an obstacle to selling themes and plugins. I'd like to know more about how that works.

And on the other side of the coin, why not release it as open source? I would be interested to know if they'd considered that. It works very well for Redhat.

I don't have any hard data, only my own experience, but I think some customers prefer PayPal. I added it as a payment option to one site and they now get approximately 30% of their payments through PayPal.

Well maybe. But at least I can run sites with low contrast through Readability. No such luck with this Heath Robinson powerpoint-a-like they've built.

I don't think iTunes is that simple to use. It's very easy to make a mistake and lose all your contacts. I know two people that happened to, and to be honest I cross my fingers and hope when I upgrade my iPhone. Dropbox is very easy to understand in comparison.
