I thought this release was supposed to have ActionScript style optional type annotations and classical inheritance. Not to say I'm sad to not see them here (JS being dynamic and prototypal seems nicer to me), but anyone know what happened

I was thinking this sounded familiar and then I realized the main source, Jonathan Haidt, did a similar TEDTalk on the roots of liberal and conservative morality. I thought it was pretty interesting: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/jon

I kinda like it. It seems to solve the Segway's chief problems: 1) standing and looking like and ass and 2) getting rained on. Plus, side-by-side seating is a win compared to front-and-back.

I've heard so many stories of the much abused and misunderstood Tesla, usually coming from people I'd politely call "free-energy wackjobs". Even this article, which is one of the fairer versions I've heard, doesn't touch on why this has ne

I wonder how his same talk would be given today. In a post-Harry Potter, World of Warcraft world, the idea of a female wizard no longer raises eyebrows in the same way. Still, interesting and entertaining.

1) Why? As others have said, enhanced productivity. I usually keep API docs, examples, and a terminal with autotest on my secondary. Also, in my case, my machine is a laptop (I use that screen as my secondary) and knowing I have a 24" scr

Slightly OT: I'd never seen the effect he has in his header. If anyone's interested, I found the docs & demos on it here: http://webdev.stephband.info/parallax.html

PrinceXML is awesome. The company I used to work for writes large publications primarily for the web, but sometimes needs to print book versions. With Prince I was able to use an off the shelf CMS and write CSS3 Print stylesheets that cou

Not really knowing knitting patterns, it took me a little while to figure out the example. Here's what I come up with through some wikipedia-ing and staring at it for awhile: 1) p = purl stitch and is represented by the horizontal line 2)

After seeing Walter Isaacson on the Daily Show last night, I couldn't help yelling at the TV. The thing that I really wish someone had asked (and was alluded to in this op-ed) is this: What do you do about the entire generation reaching ad

Not sure if it's my favorite, but the one the hooked me was Bjorn Lomborg's talk on what kinds of projects could cause the most positive change most efficiently: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/bjorn_lomborg_sets_global...
