The bit about buildings lasting 20-30 years really surprised me. The Pantheon stands for a millennium, but 30-year-old concrete crumbling? The article cites a Goldman Sachs quote from a tumblr [1] notes at the bottom of the list: An

There is a difference, like you say (I owned an Axe-Fx). It sounded very good, especially the Plexi, but at the end of the day it sounds like a mic'd amp. You can't make it sound like an unmic'd cabinet, leading to lots of

The chief weakness is that the machine will not learn by mistakes. The only way to improve its play is by improving the program. Some thought has been given to designing a program which is self-improving but, although it appears

dot files are pretty nice to have [1]. Also see EmacsForOSX.com. Know the Readline shortcuts for editing most textboxes. Run $ man open to read about opening apps from the command line. [1] https://github.com/mathiasby

Anti work is a terrible name that just throws people off. Why not self -work? It's the work you give yourself. I get the gist of the article: it's not Work vs Leisure, it's Their Work vs Your Own Work, with Leisure on the

Today we include packet loss as a necessary part of the network performance disclosure. Interesting! Wireless carriers could definitely compete on that.. The 2014 Open Internet NPRM tentatively concluded that we should requir

Interesting! I hadn't seen a daisy wheel before. Nice to see they could print proportional fonts [1]. Pretty good for printing one character at a time. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFC5PyJdVIg

Darn, I was hoping this would be nearly the opposite invention. Is there a USB teletype out there? I'm trying to imagine something that converts keystrokes over USB to ink-on-paper. Not a full-blown printer w/ PostScript, just i

Useless? No. Diceware's not useless, and it's just a wordlist.

Oh it's certainly better than none, I didn't mean to imply you shouldn't take it. Take B12 any way you can. It just didn't have the same kick. Just anecdotally, I have found the methyl- much stronger, like 1 cup coffe

I used to keep all my passwords in Emacs w/ Org Mode. You can encrypt a heading, or an entire file, with a GPG key. This could work. Just store it in Dropbox/etc. If you trust Dropbox's encryption, just use a simple j.txt

To rule out B12, take some B12. If you can, avoid the generic cyanoco- type, get the methyl cobalamin. You can just put it under your tongue.

Wow. I like the (sqrt -1). I did not realize CL will actually give you a complex #C(0.0 1.0) (!). Along those lines, a negative modulus can be tricky, though I can't remember which language(s) get it wrong. Perhaps not wrong , but

I'm a little surprised, but I don't know very much about the gTLD situation. When I looked at buying a .coffee domain, the Corporations had a window to buy the obvious (dunkin.coffee, starbucks.coffee), then it opened up to the p

You're saying you mix it? Do you drink it cold, or hot? I've never considered that. I agree on mornings. It fills that infinite vacuum of hunger I get some mornings pretty well.

Put a screencast up on YouTube? I guess it depends what it is, but 8~10 minute videos can be pretty thorough.

A bag is about 2 days' worth, not one. I can't imagine going through an entire bag every day. Serving size is just labeling as you suspect; in my house, serving size is correlated with size of glass.

Yeah. What I got from the article was: 1) As an expert , I appear on TV to repeat the Official News Updates 2) I'm there all week, so I'm a regular 3) The experts don't agree at all 4) The experts don't like conspi

Thanks for posting the bash source. It looked a lot like the GNU source, then I noticed at the top of it: /* echo.c, derived from code echo.c in Bash.

Then I think the CLR would be a good starting point [1]. Or you could settle for single-threaded ClojureScript/JavaScript. [1] https://github.com/clojure/clojure-clr

I think this is an okay idea, but the comparison to Clojure is really lacking. Why build on CL when you can build on Clojure? I get the inter-operability, but when Multi-Threading and Multi-Processing is listed under Deferred , Clojure

I'll be honest; I'm probably not much different from you, so I've got only a fresh perspective. On one hand, it's like you've got a garage/workshop full of tools: a drill press, a miter saw, a radial arm saw, a

If anyone wants to read either of Lutz Prechelt's papers, see the original C/C++/Java [1] and the Perl/Python/.. followup [2]. I wish the program sources were available, if only to see if any of the Perl submission

I agree, and think the bit about the boss really hits that lack of change home Meet the new boss, same as the old boss, except this one is very concerned that you see him as a positive force in the universe. Certain conversati
