I want to point out a comment [1] apparently by the former chief open source evangelist, Danese Cooper [2], on the "Fork Yeah!" video contradicting Bryan Cantrill on this point. Here it is reproduced: Lovely except it really was

I always thought that was done using keywords on the page the image was taken from (and image captions, alt text, titles and filenames). This is reinforced by what you see when you go many pages ahead in images and see things that don't see

Agreed. But though I'm a vim user, in day-to-day coding, my colleagues using say sublime don't see to suffer all that much. I occasionally see them doing something a bit inefficient with the mouse that could have been a few keystrokes in vi

Curious, is there by any luck a study on veteran vim users in particular? It seems like the quality of execution + the familiarity of the test subjects with the UI and modes available would make a huge different in any such measurements. Vi

Not sure what naturalistic fallacies have to do with artificial sweeteners generally being pretty bad for your long-term health (not that sucrose/fructose is that much better in sufficient quantities).

That's what I meant by "the site iteslf", sorry I wasn't clear. There's definitely some automated spam-detection, and voting circle detection, which auto-bans some posts.

AFAIK the site itself, and mods (unknown who they are besides pg really) kill posts at their own whim. Flagging is one signal for that. Of course, you can just wait for the passage of time, which will "kill" any post on the front page event

The Iron Man movies might be one example, glorifying a tech genius who was able to turn his tech skills around from evil to good. This may be more of a throwback from the comic super hero's origins though, rather than being an indicator of

You can represent 0 by absence. : 0 o : 1 oo : 2 ooo: 3 Of course, this is not a practical notation, since 0 would hard to distinguish from actual absence, but it would be viable in some situations: a table of numbers say,

A side project of mine is sort of a stumbleupon for knowledge. Sort of. It's more like a directed stumbleupon; you get web pages related to the page you're currently on. Good for research, but knowledge-stumbling works too: http://jellly.c

Neither. Nature is described by mathematics, and conversely, nature is a kind of manifestation of certain mathematical ideas.

Awesome. Minor issue: there's some stuttering when flicking on a mac touchpad with Firefox. If I keep my fingers on the touchpad while scrolling, the scroll seems to follow just fine without stuttering. But if I flick it up/down fast there'

Thanks, interesting! Not mentioned on that page, but a notable natural language which is similar in its goals is Lojban [1]. It's actually based on predicate language, which is actually what Inform 7 uses as well in order to derive the actu

I have one: natural language programming. I have some ideas about how it would work, and have looked a little into how it might be implemented and have some seemingly feasible ideas there too. But I'm not an expert in either NLP or programm

I think scarmig means that the equilibrium would be a monopoly which would then take the role of government. And in fact, on an international scale, there's an oligopoly violence suppliers, it's just that they're not "private", but "public"

Similarly, is "I got rejected by a girl thrice, but turned that around over the course of 4 years, from the other side of the world" impressive at all? Depending on your perspective, it either shows extreme determination and ability to succ

nothing even comes close to the balance of stability, backwards compatibility, consistency, robustness and flexibility I was going to suggest XMonad as well, in response to this. Seriously, try it if you're using Linux.

By "OP", are you referring to the author of the blog post, Charles Nutter? It doesn't seem like an easy feat to not understand Ruby when you've written a major implementation of it, namely jruby in this case. It's also pretty hard to spend

In a similar vein, try out the space repetition software, Mnenmosyne: http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/ I'll add to that a good article spaced repetition: http://www.gwern.net/Spaced%20repetition

The Bloodhound Gang's chorus is probably the worst part of it, and is probably primarily what the OP was referring to, though the rapping verses work reasonably well. That said, it was still great overall.
