I totally misinterpreted the data; for some reason I assumed it was the number of students from each group that scored above some threshold, rather than the average score of that group. My calculations are completely garbage, and I would wi

Going by your extremely tenuous suggestion that genetics is an accurate predictor of math/engineering aptitude because of how people of certain ethnicities or sex perform on the SAT, we should have a distribution in tech that looks lik

Not sure if you count ~$700 as "economically priced" but there are folks working on one as an IndieGogo project: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/13-3-inch-android-e-reade...

I am both a manager and a programmer and just read it last month. I fully agree that it has valuable insights for both.

I'll offer up a few prayers to Athena; maybe she can help keep those Carpathian trickster-gods off your backs. I certainly hope so--I've been looking forward to this since Starfighter announced themselves! (Though I've made

Almost certainly.

AFAIK, you are correct. In Clojure, square brackets are used for vector literals. Furthermore, Clojure uses vectors in some places (e.g. parameter lists in function definitions) that most Lisps use regular lists in order to help make thos

I could be wrong, as I'm a bit rusty on this topic as well, but I was under the impression that the electric field was only distorted by relativistic effects if one of the electrons is actually accelerating. If it is just zipping alon

The problem, at least for me, is that 13" is about the minimum screen that I'm willing to consider, and this is the second display of that size that I've seen (the first being Sony's Digital Paper, which is currently pro

I use a cast iron griddle for baking pizza on and I love it. I hope yours works out for you too!

Okay. I <3 my cast iron. I haven't gone to the full effort of seasoning it like the article says, but I have done a bit of work on it and it's worked great for me. I do dislike the whole "stinks up your house" part

I'm mostly in agreement with this if you choose to live in said city, but I would argue that traffic will be better even in one of the "big" cities of the Midwest (I currently live the greater D.C./Baltimore metro area a

Mind. Blown. Time for me to get serious about learning ClojureScript ^_^ Thanks for putting this together; it's amazing!

The difference being that with a microwave like that if you screw up and add too much time the worst that will happen is that you'll have ruined your meal (and I am expecting that most people are not using microwaves to cook things tha

You can still send it for free, but if you want me to read it you'll have to pay! ;) Actually, if the amount is a flat or mostly-flat rate then most e-mail exchanges would be effectively free (send message, get response, net cost = 0).

I've actually looked into this in the past (synthesizing, for example, methane from the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere) but I haven't found anything that seemed achieveable from a DIY perspective. Do you know anywhere that I ca

I'd love to see this! Though I can only think of toys that I'd expect to see on ThinkGeek, like a coffee mug powered by thermoelectricity that would display the temperature of the beverage within, or a plate that could display th

you can get a pretty good Emacs-as-an-OS feel with the combo of Emacs, Conkeror, and StumpWM That is the setup that I use at home, and it. is. GLORIOUS.* *YMMV

If you mean "protect these units from bad guys so they don't threaten our electrical system," that's kind of the point of having a decentralized system of smaller reactors: if one or two get sabotaged, others in the syst

It seems to me that this should be able to be tested by checking whether the gravitational force between two objects of a given mass increases over time. If it does, then their mass has increased. If it doesn't, then their mass has n

Motivation? In other words, a focus on market share seems to me like it's a much more selfish thing, and that Sony is perhaps only going in the direction that they are because they perceive that it will be better for their bottom line

Awesome, it's a code camp with actual camping! On a related note, does anyone know if it would even be possible to do something like this in the USA (short of buying a few hundred acres with a lake on it)?

I noticed that there was a 10.2" display on the PDI website. It looks like it's not supported by the current prototyping kits, but I am hoping that will change down the road; I'd love to hack around with something that big! On the other ha

I've also seen suggestions[citation needed, sorry] that when offering kids a choice, narrowing it down to just two or three things can help them start getting used to making decisions without being completely overwhelmed by the options (e.g

The code comes out looking the same; Paredit helps manage the parentheses for you (especially the closing ones, which it inserts automatically).

Thanks for the tip; I'll definitely check it out. I have an HP TouchPad (running Cyanogen Mod) that those might be readable on (still not the e-Ink, full-sunlight-readable experience that I truly crave, but it would still be a step in the

I get that impression as well, but I think a clipboard would probably solve that problem ^_^
