mitchtbaumon It took 12 weeks to ship an MVP I thought would take 3

Yes. I was about to link this too.

From my experiences, I've found that 3x my initial "estimate / goal / ego trip timeline" gives the most realistic picture. Sometimes I can hit my best; most often things come up. It took a little while to accept, mostly because I wanted to do my best always and be able to promise and fulfill it. But Reality hit back, and I had to adjust.

It's hard to see the network effects of each micro-interaction in long range projecting, but once you really break down how long each thing could take, how that would affect each other related part, and who/what else is involved at each step/layer, it clears up the fog.

mitchtbaumon Comparing Database Types

mitchtbaumon Comparing Database Types

> Both rules and facts are instances of a single unifying language element, a logical clause, which is also terminology from predicate logic.

Yeah; I'd like to see these general application layers more seamless and united in simple semantic units.

Like a higher level abstraction over code block elements, database record structures, and configuration setting ensambles; simply as phrases (..??) ....

mitchtbaumon Comparing Database Types

It seems these rules refine the data outside the database itself. But they're so tightly integrated between the database and the application that the lines separating them become blurred.

mitchtbaumon Spatial Interfaces

I was going to comment about an older link that came up about skeuomorphic interfaces in Apple's apps, but I didn't want to look it up. Now, I just ran into a video with multiple layers of it within the first 23 seconds that I've watched it. So, I switched tabs back over here:

Caravan to Midnight interview on John & Yoko

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJBwsaRmNgQ

I remember now thinking about it when talking to a friend about why he doesn't like electric cars. The acceleration lacks the intensity, mostly sonically as we discussed. And I said we could skeuomorphicly add it back in.

You gotta give it to those cops playing with the protesters in the second video... Judging by the difference in weapons, those young guys got away with more than a fun experience to look back, retell, relive... Reminds me of NYC occupy protesters busting into McDonalds' buildings to take milk.

Play safe, everyone.

Would you want to bet on how these guesses will pan out and see how this approach looks after sincere efforts to analyze it (for wealth preservation or other uses)?

There'rrr others worth looking at; probably others that contradict a good portion of it, or just have another point of view.

Well, you're still in luck.

mitchtbaumon It’s time to get serious about recycling lithium-ion batteries

If you want what'll work, then it's time to get serious about biofuels and their storage.

The best buffered conversion of starlight into mechanical drive, that I know of (and by a long shot), is through combustion of high quality biodiesel, (ie via hemp, soy, or jatropha seeds pressed for extraction (also as blends).

In the future, we can even switch to the prime movers of photosynthesis, algae and cyanobacteria for even more dense bioreactors than the beautiful, wide open fields of life-giving plants.

Oil, as a mechano-electric energy storage, is very cost-effective, and storing it works:
