Very cool site. The flight sight is a bit nicer, it shows you pretty much all planes at the same time. With the boats map you have to preselect an area to load the view. Might be more boats though. Anyway thanks for pointing this out. My in

Being a slow typer, I couldn't get bothered. I have about 30 alias in my bash_profile for git. These are the ones I use most: alias ga='git add' alias gs='git status'

Great talk. I didn't know they were editing the maps by hand. Adding trafic lights etc. is only starting to be automated. (around 17:30)

I looked for such a light markup language for a long time, but it also should work offline. What made me realize that this would be useful, was the bitbucket wiki. So, quite similar to your experience. Than I found org-mode. We're happily t

That sounds big. I still remember the horrors from my two mandatory terms of material science. "The school of 'ALCHMI' argues this is what gives the alloy property X, while the school 'HOCUS'says, its the sudden drop off at xx deg in the Ir

This is nothing new. I had very precise, laser sintered, steel objects in my hands during exhibitions, at least 5 years ago. I never understood though, there seems to be no laser sinter aluminum. The most common answer is oxidation. But how

Tailoring the class into 2-5 minute videos and designing interactive questions and programming tasks should count as creation of new content in my opinion. Besides, when a professor writes a book, based on a lecture they are paid to give, t

I don't get it. The OP pretends to like the app and is glad someone achieved to build one for iOS. But then, why suggest the author, chj did something potentially illegal or at least against the rules of the app store? In Germany we say: "

I listen to a lot of music during my work, many many hours per day. But its usually optional. Its horrible when you have to wear head phones permanently. The pressure on the ear alone is something I need a brake from. Also, when solving a h

Cool from the outside. But a shitty place to work and learn. Only the New Media Lab is worse: all glass, zero privacy. Form should follow function. Especially for something that will last unchanged for decades.

Wow! This sounds like you could design an experiment for this. It might take at least something like 5 years to see any results. But thats a timeframe many scientists should be willing to pursue. If you don't want to do those experiments yo
