   This isn't all that abstract or theoretical of a problem. There's lots of devices (printers without lcd screens, routers, for example) which use one or two lights, possibly with different color options, to display a bunch of diffe

   That's called the Baader-Meinhof Pehnomenon or the Frequency Illusion. It used to have it's own wikipedia article but now it's just a single sentence in List of Cognitive Biases [0]. Check out this post here though [1]. [0]:

   My goal here is not to try to convince people to build in 20k lines of JS what they could've done with a simpler Rails implementation or something of the sort, but to take a moment to self-examine whenever starting a new project if the

   There have been more than a few occasions when I've needed to review a movie script to quote it for a paper, only to find that it's quite different from what I'm seeing in the movie. Are these transcripts from the films, or s

   In the interest of encouraging development of modern websites just as good as any non-neocities site, I made a little thing called the 10 MB Manifesto [0]. I also submitted it to HN [1] as I'm looking for discussion. [0]: http:/&

    It's often possible to distinguish random data from encrypted data using something like a chi square test. However, if you just encrypted random bytes, then it would look just as encrypted as your real data (because it is). Alternati

    While this would be lovely, it could be applied to tons of software (stretching the "important for humanity" piece as necessary and feels a bit fallacious. As scrumper says below, sometimes a piece of software is too large or expe

    I switched to Feedly, though I had actually been using it long before I had to switch (it was basically just a frontend to google reader). It isn't missing any features I need so I can't complain. The android app works and syncs a

    What does Yoleo have to offer that feedly doesn't? Is there a mobile app in the works (or at least a mobile stylesheet)?
