   I'm going to use Kippt as a way to collect all the highest-quality links I've come across, with good descriptions on all of them. That collection will then be a public profile of links that I love that represent me. The only thing I find la

   After doing a lot of web development, this is how I'm starting to feel as well. That's why I'm shifting my focus to AI and deep learning; it's a field with a lot more real computer science problems that you actually get to think about and s

   Actually, the last great human invention will probably be self-reflective Artificial Intelligence.

   This. Both articles seemed extreme to me, and then again, only the extreme will really make it to the front page. If you rewrote this comment in a blog post and titled it "The Middle-Point", it wouldn't make front page, because it's just pl

   I find that I rarely ever use anybody else's computer on which I cannot use Colemak. And on mobile devices, touchscreen QWERTY is just fine, since it doesn't suffer from the same inefficiencies that the keyboard QWERTY suffers from. Bottom

   Also, Colemak is more supported and available than any of those other layouts.

   Colemak is a tradeoff between ultimate optimality, and shortcut / punctuation positioning for those switching from QWERTY. I agree, if you're learning a layout from scratch (if you're a young child who can't type yet, for example), then lea

   Thanks for the great tips! I'll copy them over and quote you in the comments on the post.

    Maybe it's the case that YMMV. I didn't touch-type QWERTY, so I learned Colemak just fine. On the other hand, my friend who touch-typed QWERTY at 90 WPM also had no problem switching to Colemak. In addition, the official Colemak website sta

    Looks great! An alternative interface for navigating links with your keyboard in Chrome is DeadMouse: http://chetan51.github.com/deadmouse/ With it, you can simply start typing out the text of any link you see on the page to go to it.

    This is wonderful! Exactly what I was looking for, a practical introduction to machine learning using real-world code. Thank you so much! I only have one request: Instead of switching to PHP for the next GA exercise, can you please keep eve

    Good idea! I'll make backspace do the same thing as escape.

    You're very right. It'll be fixed and updated soon (check the GitHub issues page).

    Exactly, wiggling works well even for links that look like buttons, among other styles of links. I played with growing and shrinking, but it looks bad because the text loses resolution as it becomes bigger (at least using CSS3 transforms).

    It's a tradeoff, actually. I used to use Vimium for following links, but I made this because I feel it's a little more natural than hitting 'f' and then typing an arbitrary code next to the link you're looking at. Instead, you can just type
