on: Scar tissues make relationships wear out (2013)
Talking about feelings is all good and healthy assuming the problem to solve is technical and due to a misunderstanding. But what if the root cause of the build up of resentment is when one of the couple is changing and his/her feeling about the relationship is changing. Someone like me with disorganized attachment style can sense subtle changes quickly and react to it

on: Dear Agile, I’m Tired of Pretending (2018)
I am perfectly fine with paying more for a technical project manager, or a team lead who can help us glue things together and see the big picture. But I am not fine with hiring a consultant who doesn't know anything about our product and thinks that Agile has some magic to deliver products.

on: Dear Agile, I’m Tired of Pretending (2018)
Agile was dead to me when I finished my PhD and joined a company that paid a Scrum consultant more than they paid me to help us move tickets without knowing what was the project about.

on: Elon Musk Publishes Plans for Colonizing Mars
Elon makes a good point that it is inevitable that Human should colonize another planet. I don't think Mars is the planet. We are solving a hard problem with the current technology, but we are missing the point that we may have a technology in the future that enables us to explore less hostile far planets that require one trip. Think about the first settlers who came to North America before the Europeans.

on: Show HN: Database Labs – Postgres as a Service
I'll answer my question. They tackle this problem by advertising as such:
"Lives in DigitalOcean, near your app"
So basically, for optimal performance, my app should be hosted on DigitalOcean.

Wouldn't be better to host a web application and the database on the same server for better performance?

on: 2048
I've started playing threes a week ago. Both threes and 2048 are fun to play. Except that I think in threes the challenge starts earlier in the game and every step counts and you can easily get into a deadlock.
Can't wait to see the source code and analytics. Maybe you want to add on the page the highest score :)

on: Why I Dropped Dropbox and got OwnCloud
I was also looking to host my own cloud service. I tried OwnCloud (2 weeks ago) and I was fascinated by it... Well until it failed me and lost my test data. There is a major bug in it (try renaming a directory by changing one letter from small to capital).
That being said, I started using BitTorrentSync which is a peer to peer sync and I am happy with it so far and I am still testing it.

That should give me more time to submit a conference paper on June 30.

on: Iterated prisoner's dilemma contains evolutionary opponent dominating strategies
:) I was more worried about my inability to fully understand this paper (which is worth re-reading many times), than complaining about it being embedded in an HTML frame.
