I use the mouse wheel, and for jumping further down, I hit the space bar, or worst case, the "End" key.

My 100ms Story: 100ms. Perceptually, the time it takes for a newline. I was really struck by that. I've felt that waiting for 5 seconds for an ant/java compile was too long (use time ant , like Rob - ant under-reports) but thought I was ju

The servant-mercenary-artisan terms aren't really necessary. A good maker is also servant - to a vision, a muse, a genius or an ideal; or to the pragmatic makers who are also sellers: to a market need, to customers. The diagram for an emplo

Good advice here, especially the fundamentals that can be done now (e.g. exercise.) "What Color is Your Parachute" is a great career-change guide; in particular, on evaluating skills based on what you enjoy . It's enjoyment both in the do

I like the article's advice about "graduating" communication (a better word than "escalate" which suggests opposition); but I'm ambivalent about the other suggestions. If the tone is wrong, adding emphasis can just make it seem more sarcast

I think the positive priming caused greater affect than the "! :P", and I propose the hypothesis that it's the "loaded terms" that determine tone, largely. They are most effective if applied to the issue at hand; but they are also effective

They're all disruptive and all use technology, but few seem to be inventing technology. However, I've been told that there are several technology-based ones, but they haven't launched yet because they're working on the technology. We tend t

One thing that struck me about twitter is that the mainstream media pushed it (e.g. Oprah). That never happened with Google. I got the sense that the mainstream media felt that they could work with Twitter, and so of course they promoted it

Larry Niven used a solar sail in several stories, e.g. "The Fourth Profession" and "The Mote in God's Eye". You can leave a "laser canon" on the launch world. That way, you can leave your rocket engine at home, where there are resources to

great read, I just note that this particular Wright story is pure technology, so they could experiment on remote hilltops (i.e. without market feedback). I totally agree that experimentation can lead you to insights that no one else has had

Examining a list of the 75 richest people in the history of the world, Gladwell notes that “an astonishing 14 are Americans born within nine years of one another in the mid-19th century.” http://features.csmonitor.com/books/2008/11/17/t

Wow, you're right: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#child-combinators It also reminds me of HAML (discussed recently): http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=925573 Looking at one aspect: The idea of abstracting the verbosity of HTML/X

It's funny, but to be certain that consciousness can be explained by known laws - we just don't know exactly how - itself requires faith and is quite unscientific. Although I too believe it.

The "love or money" struck a chord. It's similar to "when your hobby becomes your job, you no longer have a hobby." It certainly adds new concerns. There's the finding that rewards can be demotivating : http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/motiv

You have to have a serious bicycle problem before you can justify this level of investment. It probably works pretty well, since there's similar car-parking technology (exception: see jac_no_k's experience). But I'm reminded of France's e

Another data point is Jobs' absence from 1985 to 1997. The stock rose incredibly for 2 years ($2 to $14), then flat for 6 years, then fell for 4 years (to $3.4). It's utterly ridiculous to extrapolate from this, because so many other factor

Your point can be strengthened, by noting that profit need not be monetary, but can also occur in trade. If one person is skilled at fishing (talented, practiced, and invested in equipment), and another is skilled at pottery, they can trade

aside: I like how he uses mul and add as production names. I've always found the expr , factor , and term names a bit confusing (maybe because factor is the only one that's specific to its operator).

Just to follow up: it's compounding. Like compound interest, it gets big surprisingly fast. Another example is that story of placing one grain of rice on the first square of a chess board, and doubling it for each square, so 2 grains on the
