For a great explanation of the enclaves and exclaves described in the article, you might like to check out this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtLxZiiuaXs The visual aids definitely help.

Yes I'm shocked by how UIs dealing with very precise things sometimes use imprecise dating like "tomorrow". On the DHL website, if I am ordering a collection for a certain time, I have to choose if I want it for "tomorro

This is fascinating and well written. I tried the unrotated sofa image on Wolfram's ImageIdentify and it correctly identified a settee [1]. So it presumably gathered that from the shape of the image rather than the pattern. It is pecul

I go to a lot of student hackathons and I really don't see that happening. And the large majority of organizers are heavily focused on creating a welcoming event for building, learning, and having fun. Student hackathons are and always

There's http://www.hackathonwatch.com/ Also checking out eventbrite is a good idea. Non-student hackathons can be a pretty mixed bag so be careful which ones you choose to go to. Battlehack is a pretty fun hackathon th

The people who do well at hackathons and programming competitions are often excellent students. And extra-curricular activities as a way of learning more and improving yourself are generally considered good for students, right? That's

Hackathons are a pretty good way of starting something like this for a college student (though obviously not the only way). I know several groups people who met at hackathons then went on to start a larger project together (often not the sa

Yeah that kinda sucks. It's one of the reasons college hackathons are so compelling - people aren't there with their startups, it's students looking to learn. I think sometimes people judge student hackathons based on corpora

Congratulations to them. I've worked with their developer evangelism team a bit and they always bring their A-game. The company really seems to understand how to engage the community and they have a very solid and easy to use product.

Perhaps... but they've made some seriously good acquisitions with Braintree and Venmo that will mean they'll stay relevant.

Agreed. TikZ is simply an awesome tool. If people want to try it out, I found A Very Minimal Introduction to TikZ by Jacques Crémer a great resource to help get started. There are also some handy examples here: http://www.texam

This is cool. I'd love to have some sort of GitHub (or just Git) integration. That would be powerful.

This was a beautiful read. I too feel an emotional connection to these great machines and the fantastic people who design, build, and pilot them. To me, our missions into space perfectly captures everything to be admired in Humankind. It re

Not a spy movie. It was called Operation Mincemeat [1]. It's certainly movie-worthy though. Both the plan and the fact that it worked are impressive. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mincemeat

URLs should be displayed for sure, but inline is far too disruptive to smooth reading. I think it would be better done "reference style" if possible. Something similar to how it is done in markdown would be nice: I get 10 times mo

What are the supposed benefits of using module loaders over say minifying and concatenating all your JS into one maybe two files which are then placed in script tags at the bottom of your HTML?
