Yahoo Pipes was an excellent tool for mashing up RSS feeds.


I had one of the most complex Pipes rigged up to automate the collection of all the content I created or favorited from all over the web. It merged them all into a single rss feed which my very simple bit of python code scraped and output as static html on my "blog".

When yahoo killed off pipes I found https://github.com/nerevu/riko and realised that the visual aspect of pipes was holding me back.

Having said that, the visual aspect of pipes was what made it easy for me to get into the whole idea of "stream processing". So I have a lot to thank the pipes team for.


Give feedly another try. I've been using it ever since Reader got killed.


I really miss pipes. Wondering how much we'd have to pay Yahoo for the source code. Think they'd take $100 for it? :)

No more Seattle commute for me...

I live on Whidbey Island, in Puget Sound. 0 commute. My office looks out over Admiralty Inlet and the Olympic Mountains.

It's a 20-minute walk into our tiny town center, 4 minutes down to the beach.

I've been mostly telecommuting since 2008.


Why is this time different?

Nuclear fusion is ALWAYS 10-20 years away.


I think that's the point of randomdata's comment.


Actually it has been progressing nicely linearly so the original predictions were way too optimistic, but it is at break even now. In the meantime, there are major improvements to be made in fission.

Making it progress faster would take more genius scientists plus somewhat more funding. Not a lot more though. But where do you find and view do you cultivate such physicists and material scientists?
