While the idea of minimalism really appeals to me, its practice does not. After moving at about once a year for the last 10 years, I have had many rounds of culling needless stuff (although I could do another round).

But there are so many things I would not throw away because I need and use them every day: books, cds, musical instruments, cooking gear, all kinds of tools, wires, parts, etc. for tinkering.
This adds up to what I own, and yes, it is quite a lot (moving requires the biggest truck I can get with a normal license). For the books and cds I could go to a library, for the tools to a hackerspace, for my food to a restaurant... The instruments, well, that'd be hard.

It seems to me that such a life would be more expensive and require more organisation. In short, it would be far less enjoyable for me.

Seems pretty defensive to me. How does, say, separating out the route and the view declarations help your application? Code like this:

config = Configurator()
config.add_route('hello', '/hello/{name}')
config.add_view(hello_world, route_name='hello')

is really just boilerplate, which is better done as a decorator. Count how many times the word 'hello' appears in that snippet above. And this is just for a hello world program. Once you start on a real app, that's only going to multiply.

Email from nokia about security breach, large number of records stolen
The Epiphany people had some interesting ideas about how to deal with tabs. http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/FeatureDesign/EpiphanyRedux/F...

The proposal is remove to tabs completely, replace with a richer, searchable and better cached history, improved bookmarks, which are better organised for returning to recent items, and a page queue for yet to read items. I would like to try something like this, it seems really interesting.
I think foregoing producers definitely makes this very difficult. We had some wonderful producers at Blizzard (web team) that came on and turned the team around from hours of OT every night to projects being done on time without OT except in rare cases. Leads don't have (quite) as much on their plate, devs don't get burnt out, and things just run so much better.

There are a lot of different ways to use different tools, because there are a lot of different people who think and organize differently. Yours is not the only way that people manage information in their head, but I'm sure it works great for you.

A couple scenarios for how I get a lot of tabs open:

- <ahem> Hacker News. Scan down the page, and for each interesting article, middle click the article and the comments link. Work your way through the tabs (maybe going back and forth between "work" and HN).

- Search. Middle click the most promising results. Work your way through the tabs, possibly bookmarking something that you know you'll want again.

ReadItLater or any other temporary archive seems like procedural overkill for something you intend to come back to in a few minutes to half an hour.

Bookmarking the same sort of material seems inappropriate since most of what's in those tabs isn't yet determined to be bookmarkworthy.

I didn't dream this up, it's just how I naturally organize my short term browser use. I think "short term" is the important phrase there.

Finally, there's a middle ground between lots of tabs and ReadItLater. Chrome has a nice extension called Session Buddy, that records the tabs in your current session. Hit the button and another tab (ironically) opens, showing your current and recent sessions. Now close as many tabs as you like, get back on task, and gradually work your way through the sites listed on the session buddy tab.

Lots of ways to do everything. I really don't think I'm nuts for doing it this way.

Yes, there is definitely a tension between pleasure and minimalism. I miss my guitar too. I miss cooking a little bit, but the restaurants in Berlin are very good and low prices. However, after this I might consider a furnished apartment, as long as I don't have to own the stuff myself.

The point I'm trying to make in my article is that minimalism makes me happier, but I'm not sure whether this will always be true. Too minimalistic and I will probably become less happy. Also, doing it for a long time might also get old. We'll see, so far I like it.

I'm at an iOS start-up that is a platform for apps just like yours.

Apps integrating our SDK (<1 MB), give parents can reports so they can see which stories their kids are reading, how much time they spend on various educational apps, and what apps make good next purchases. If you like you can add an achievement layer to encourage more reading and learning. Apps integrated with our API also get some marketing via our website and in app-channels.

We're only at about .5 million app downloads right now, but we're funded and growing fast. Apologies if this comes of as a marketer. I'm actually just an entry level iOS programmer who's psyched about the possibilities with software and education.

Simple future facade for Scala
Many people see this from a macroeconomic or political point of view. So I think adding a more philosophical point of view might also be of value. Of course, because it is philosophy, I can only present my own point of view. There is no right or wrong.

For me, as a Zen student, the solution is to just accept that that it is, what it is. No system (shape, for Zen students) can be perfect. It is created to solve a problem and with time starts to fail badly at doing anything about the problem. Then another system is created by someone else and the cycle restarts. You might think for example that the stock market or democracy is a thing that doesn't change, because it exists longer then you live. But in the end it will change. We had different political systems before and we will develop different systems in the future.

So in the end the system is one of the most important things we have, because it gives us something to base our decisions and actions on and goals to strive for. But also the system is nothing, just an illusion we create for us, maybe based on how we understand the illusions other people created for themself.

The thing that is interesting to me personally is that every system itself is instable and will change or die in the end. But the life cycle of a system, what it does for us and doesn't, that all will always stay the same and even though we try to change that, we will never succeed. So while it changes a lot in one way it is totally unchangable in another. But that just as a side note.
Try moving to another continent a couple of times, it does wonders for breaking your addictions to 'stuff'.

Even so, I find that after moving the 'stuff' creeps back in again and after a couple of years there is just too much of it.

It's just different stuff... especially tools, it's hard to get by without them.

I couldn't care less about clothes or furniture but tools matter.
Although it certainly varies from person to person, very actively making your life 'simpler' seems like a stressful thing to do.

Changing my eating habits to reduce my sugar intake will definitely be more complicated than not doing so. The same holds for an information diet.

I understand why you're doing this and it'll most probably have a positive effect, but I don't see how this is necessarily simpler.

I read the paper. It is great for beginners of Haskell or enthusiasts that want to learn how it started and why particular choices have been made. Although this paper is from 2007 it covers so much of the bases in Haskell. For example I did not know that at the beginning Monads were NOT part of Haskell and that they joined very late.

I hope this paper will be updated soon, especially because from what I understand in the meantime there is a new Haskell Report 2010.

I am new to Haskell, but even while it is very difficult for me to learn it, this language is so beautiful it is the only one that hooked me since the last language that I had to learn seriously (15 years ago).

MySQL is a triumph of branding and fanboy self-delusion.

MySQL made it easier initially by omitting lots of difficult stuff (data integrity, management, transactions) thus making easier to get something working quickly. It also had a reputation for being faster then PostgreSQL, a reputation spread by fanboys (in truth people who were bigging up the only database they had a faint comprehension of).

Then it became ubiquitious. Now, like some nasty rash, we can't get rid of it.

I particularly liked this quote:

Generally, tabs can be seen as a flexible mechanism that is used for a range of tasks none of which they are optimised to cater for.

Although, I'm not sure about their proposed solutions. The history is really lacking in context and could maybe be displayed better as a tree of thumbnails showing you not the order pages were opened but from where they were opened. I think the queue is a great idea but could probably be built into the same tree; just highlight queued and bookmarked pages in some way.

Thank you, that tempts me to go and look at perl. At the moment I tend to use simple awk, or a full python script. I find python really doesn't lend itself to "one line", or even particularly short, programs however. I keep meaning to go back and look at perl. I was tempted to wait for Perl 6, but I think the time has come to just look at Perl 5 :)
My wife and I are making steps towards minimalism, mostly motivated by having to move to different cities more often than makes sense given hiring a moving company to move a whole house worth of gear has blown a significant chunk of savings 3 times over the last 6 years now.

Family minimalism is a lot harder I think than individual minimalism. Most minimalist blogs paint a picture of a single male hipster with a macbook couch-surfing between RoR consulting gigs. Family minimalism cannot be that extreme.

Our books and cds were the easiest to get rid of, we both have kindles, and noticed that we never re-read books anyway, and listened to mp3s or streaming radio rather than cds. The hardest bit was thinking about what it represents in financial terms.

I would say keep the musical instruments. A couple of ideas I have seen floating around are the 100 things idea, where each person has 100 things, and if you want to buy something and have 100 things you have to decide what to ditch. I think it is fully acceptable to have a musical instrument as one of your 100 things.

The other idea I like is splitting things into the create or consume categories, and feel better about holding onto things that let you create. Anything related to consumption like a TV for example should be on "consider ditching" list.

As far as cooking goes, well if that is your thing keep it. We ditched ours as we ate too much anyway. We worried that we would spend more money and eat out more, but basically we ended up eating less and losing weight.

For us it has meant outsourcing a lot of stuff. Instead of burning all home movies and photos to blu-ray, we are more selective, and upload stuff to the cloud. We used to have external hard drives and actual servers, now it is just laptops and the cloud.

Overall we are spending about the same. What we save on collecting crap, we spend on services. We are saving on power, and go out more. We spend less time at home, and less time cleaning up.

EDIT: Plus now we only need a much cheaper and smaller flat. Rent is cheaper, but heating is MUCH cheaper.

In 2009 me and a couple of friends after being so amazed about Lyrics traffic thought the market was missing 3 main things:

1) a Worldwide licensing structure for anyone that wanted to work in the lyrics space

2) a Huge Lyrics DB properly matched with recording information (people search for artist's name + lyrics on google not the songwriter...)

3) An API

So we founded musiXmatch in late 2009 with the idea of helping anyone in the space but most of all : build the best experience around Lyrics.

Actually musiXmatch is The world's largest and Official Lyrics DB with worldwide agreement with all Top Music Publishers and +5,5 mln lyrics DB.

So now thanks to musiXmatch you don't need to deal with music publishers anymore .

A really good read.
Hmm, sounds as if you sound guilty for not catching up with reading. Public transport - as suggested earlier - is excellent. For my part I judge books by their capability to hook me so that I actually cannot abandon reading. If a book fails to do that, but I am still interested in the subject, well then I continue searching in the InterNet if there are other books covering the same subject, or even better combining several subjects that I am interested in. I guess if you have a pile of 6 years, than you should first revise what are the subjects that you are not interested any more and sell/give away the books about these topics. For the remaining books you should look up if in the meantime there are better alternatives (comments from readers) and if that is the case then go with the new and better books.

The only thing in our life, we are sure to own is TIME. It is a pity to spend time to force you to do something you do not really want.

Saying this, I find "Real World Haskell" an excellent book, but sometimes too long to read.

I guess it all depends on if they are reinvesting for growth. Also, it depends on how much man-power it actually takes to run their business.

Gross margin is revenue minus expenses directly relating to providing those good/services and usually scales with revenue.

If they are trying to grow really fast, then they might be spending a lot on other expenses to increase this growth. These expenses aren't directly related to the sales.
As a personal counterpoint (ish) to this, I've found that minimalism is fine, to a point, but change is the huge thing that makes me feel better about myself. Even something as simple as a different clothing style or different haircut can improve your self-confidence and outlook on life, if you let it.

That's a good example. I've always thought of ASP being more influenced by SAT solvers than Prolog, but following the links from the WP article, there's a lot of Prolog culture there: Horn clauses, Herbrand interpretations, &c. So maybe LP is moving on. I should take a closer look. (I probably should have years ago: I've done a fair bit of refereeing for IJCAI over the years).

Multi-paradigm languages are not so great for the Kowalski-esque LP world, because the elements of these languages don't fit in the Kowalski/Pierce picture of knowledge representation and reasoning. Something like lambda-Prolog, which uses higher-order unification to model functional programming within a clausal language, seems to me to be a much better, more conservative step for this community.
