A small change that made it much easier for me to use ! commands was enabling magic space, which expands the ! macros out when you press space. This made an enormous difference to me, since I could now be sure I wasn't accidentally completi

A lot of the money for drug research comes from federal grants (e.g., from the NIH).

One of the recent "hot" topics in computer vision is solving this problem automatically. It was started, I think, by the IM2GPS [1] paper, and has since been taken up by many different groups. As you might imagine, it's a very challenging p

BTW it's not just the hardware on the Kinect that's so great...the computer vision component is simply incredible and Andrew Blake's team at MS Research Cambridge deserves the kudos on that. They're solving a very tough problem and doing

I really love mouse hovers when designing visual interfaces for my projects, but it's frustrating that there's no good replacement on mobile devices. I feel like for the benefits we gain by moving to these touch-based devices, we also make

My slide decks are always in PowerPoint because I usually need to make some complex technical animations that are impossible to do in Latex. So then I just use PowerPoint's shapes, etc. to do it. (I can't wait for some web-based presentatio

It would be great to add those to the post itself. (Good article, btw -- it was a nice way to make the concept of "most bang for the buck" more concrete.)

Maybe what Schmidt said about Google's intentions was true, but another reason they haven't done it is because it's not possible right now , or at least not in a fully-automated way across most images on the web. The state-of-the-art on th

I definitely believe it. The knowledge and advice that they give is freely available to anybody with access to Google Definitely not. They're not giving general advice -- that's already been given in the form of PG's essays, etc. They giv

PG has repeatedly said that connections and exposure are NOT the biggest advantage. It is the talent that matters, AND the fact that YC can provide extremely relevant and detailed guidance on all aspects of startupping. http://ycombinato

Seriously. It actually checks that you've completed one of the surveys! And checks for ad-blocking the wedget to prevent page load. There is no way its content is worth all the hassle.

SQLite is awesome because it's so easy to get started with and because it's a single file. This makes it trivial to move around to other machines/backups/etc. You also don't need to setup any server, etc. All that being said, I've now been

I hate to be "that guy", but I'm somewhat confused why everyone online seems to be so obsessed with genetic algorithms. What they are is a kind of optimization technique, and one of the worst ones at that. (Genetic algorithms are what you r

Color is very tricky to use, because you have to worry about white-balancing, illumination conditions, and of course leaves have a large variation in color over the course of their life.
