The fascinating thing for me -- that reminded me of several projects I've worked on -- is that many of the detailed parts of the exteriors have no corresponding parts on the inside. It's also amazing to see how much 'dressing up' simple mac

I don't know if anyone goes back to old threads, but I just saw an article about using the vi command mode: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=217787 I'd forgotten to mention this as another important place to help learn vi. Command line

This is an idea I've often wondered about myself. It seems much more preferable to give some a few people good access rather than everyone poor (or worse) access.

The learning curve of vim is indeed steep, but it's been incredibly well worth it for me. The key thing to remember about vim is that it's very much oriented towards editing text, not so much creating it. (In general, writing lots of text

It's quite impressive to read a blog post that analyzes a competitor's announcement carefully (with no ill will), performs tests to show the validity of the analysis, provides the source for the test, and is written cleanly and concisely. I

Very nice. Some small comments (my apologies if some of these are there already and I just didn't notice): 1. Tooltips or a statusbar at the bottom which tell you what a button does when you mouse-over it. 2. Some visual differentiation bet

A more general version of this I once heard (mostly in jest) was that "suburban neighborhoods are named after the part of nature that was destroyed to make the neighborhood." Mostly this includes various flora, although geographical descrip

Uh, maybe I'm missing something, but how exactly do you go from 10% increases and end up with a 1000-fold efficiency increase? Unless you're saying they can make 75 such changes, each giving a 10% increase...

I wouldn't agree with your first statement. In any job, no matter how enjoyable or rewarding overall, there are elements which are more interesting and others that are less so. In my job, the ratio of fun stuff to non-fun stuff is quite hig

The difference is that for flash websites, the developer has to actively be 'nice' to allow these things (default=not accessible), whereas with html+css+javascript, the developer has to actively be obnoxious to NOT allow these things (defau

Can academic researchers get "press hits"? I work in computer vision, and the approach described in this article is nowhere near a standard or agreed upon approach for this problem (there isn't one so far). The article focuses exclusively o

Just because it's been done doesn't mean it can't be done again, better. And as long as relevant data is pulled for all candidates irrespective of affiliation, his political leaning should not matter.

It's not to look more 'geeky.' The difference between apt on ubuntu and fink on mac is not in their interface -- it's the number of packages that are available. I find that just about every package I need is available in ubuntu's repositori

Saying that Einstein was "recognized as crazy fag" implies that he was actually one -- which I strongly doubt is the case. Regardless, his 1905 paper on special relativity and his subsequent work (mostly performed within the next 5 years) f
