Lets add an Io interpreter to the mix! (For those who don't know: Io is very powerful, but also very slow.)

Bhutan seems (mostly) pretty nice. Yeah, there's not a lot of them.

I have no smartphone and my mobile phone isn't continouusly on; I still use one. It's a Casio F94-W, which is sort of but not fully like the F91-W; obviously I'm an evil terrorist.

The thing, I'm having trouble too. My anatomy knowledge is kind of bad and I might just have repeated something without making sure it's right first.

Jeff McMahan has some very interesting arguments about what we are. Simply put, he argues that we are not our cells. Our cells, our organisms are simply part of ourselves. Based on that I think that we are entities made out of e.g. our cell

>>>@SivaVaid(hyanathan) just said on Twitter: “There are no wires in the human mind. So it can’t be ‘rewired’ Get a grip.” Right. What can be rewired are media and education and that’s what we’re seeing happen — or what we shou

Wow. It's remarkable how failure-tolerant the human body is. I guess that this is truly a sign of 'the future'. Forget hoverboards, we're one step closer to being able to reshape ourselves, one step closer to fixing diseases at the source.

Reminds of Zed Shaw's Utu (AFAIK inactive). That concept had recursive hate, and real names, if I remember correctly. But honestly, that leads to very complicated systems, lots of angry banned people, … anonymity, in moderation, is good.

I think an article is deleted when it reaches 10 flags (could be less, not sure) before reaching 10 votes. After 10 votes, it can't be flagged to death anymore.

Why shrimp? I understand the part about oysters, but I've read that shrimp feel pain.

I think it would have a bit more precision. Some people would like intricate coffee stain patterns, me thinks.

I think what we really need is a coffee stain plotter.

You could try Ayahuasca. It should be a bit easier to prepare than pure DMT, and more pleasant to consume too. The plants needed to make it are legal; the result is not, but since you're going to consume it soon after, I wouldn't worry abou

Wozniak paints a similiar picture of him in iWoz. Smelly, eccentric, skilled (pp. 108).

Lots of people have them. It's just that Steve's is particularly strong and the transition from RDF to reality is particularly jarring.

It seems so. However, notice that the average poker bot programmer is a 20-something, highly intelligent hacker and that most of them don't have all that much money. Why do they write poker bots? (a) to make money. (b) to beat the system. (

They are voxels, they just have very specific placement rules. They take up a full block but can't be stacked. There's also the fact that the wires transmit information only 15 tiles. It's possible to build repeaters though, but those repea

3D wiring in Minecraft is an enormous pain in the ass. In fact, the whole thing is a big PITA. Want me to elaborate? (I am sometimes working on a Minecraft CPU with a MOVE instruction set.)

Well, you're probably right, given that this was a tool for teaching.

This also shows us the importance of documentation. Still, I miss _why. There are a few hackers that have equally inspiring projects, and even some that come close to _why's love for teaching or _why's creative ability, but none of them are

Actually, just encrypting the login is not enough. FireSheep steals session keys, not passwords. Everything that needs to have the session key needs to be served over SSL.

The lower part is underfloor heating. I don't know what the higher part is, but I would guess that they retrofitted underfloor heating and used existing overhead pipes for the water. Normally those pipes would be well-hidden.
