Do not want. Plus is growing on me. It does what it's supposed to do and stops there. I don't want a bunch of smurfberry crap added to it.

Model M or related mechanical. Worth drilling down a bit into what type of keyswitches you want. MS Natural or related split keyboard can also be nice.

I think this one is closer to the topics he's asking for. http://www.amazon.com/Schaums-Outline-Probability-Variables-... Also, courses on this tend to have a bloody lot of calculus and algebra, to the point of dominating the actual prob

Awesome. But I never know which side to root for with these things. Too much time spent thinking about how to build it!

Consciousness is like a task scheduler, lurking in the kernel of the brain and routing resources according to criticality, timeliness, and projected aversion and reward outcomes.

Used to be lots, but I'm aggregating more and more into Google Reader. Why waste time hunting when I can have it packaged and delivered? Fixing things like that is what computers are for.

US Intelligence is smart enough to check EXIF data now?

I've seen this bouncing around for a while now. Numerous times. I've yet to see it substantiated beyond "sources claim" and I tend to want data any time someone wants to claim numbers which seem unusually high. Real issue? Attention-whoring

Because people are psychologically much the same as they were 10,000 years ago. Because "open-minded" is generally code for "agrees with my preconceptions." Take your pick.

It's hard to generalize this. Probably not when you've just started and probably not six years in. The point is largely to get a kick in the pants and a clearer sense of direction. So you probably want to be far enough along that you've tho

It's not like I'm a copyright lawyer. If I'm misunderstanding something, enlighten me. If it's that huge and obvious, it won't take much of your time. "That's a stupid question" is a useless response. If they don't pay up, why can't you ass

Poll is broken and will yield biased results. For example: I haven't used Airbnb before and I never will, not because of these events but because I'm just not interested in the service. There's been a lot of press about this because "every

It's so you can theme your hacker. (Why these are "hacker themes" - I don't even know.)

Would the DMCA be a relevant tool for things like website design work?

My problem is usually "what to do" or "how to do." Psyching yourself out won't help if you're not sure what needs doing or if you don't think that the available actions will actually contribute to the goal.

Maybe, but it's never good when two powerful entrenched interest groups decide to play Chicken. The accidental and incidental damage can be significant. I also have a hard time trusting them not to act like childish idiots when they manifes

There are some good points, but there's room for a lot more. Relating strictly to the points raised in the article: * Be aware that Android has interface surfaces outside the GUI. Respect their implied interaction affordances. Be aware of h

Abusive downvoting bothers me on occasion. For that, there's Reddit. But ambiguous UI elements aren't going to have that effect. People will generally either misuse them habitually or ignore them. The human mind is awesome at filtering out

Is that what "flag" does? I like the minimalist interface, but it goes to far into "what the crap does this do" territory in a few places.

Downvote trolls on a critique thread are sort of pathetic. If you don't agree, provide dissenting feedback. It will be much more useful.

Grades are a flawed concept anyway, a bad solution rooted in the factory mentality which underlies much of our education system. Things like this are just symptoms.

Firstly, you might want to consider making your description more "dead simple." I had to read way too much of that before it became clear what your extension actually does. Fixing this could improve your bounce rate and lead to more users.

I like free coffee. I don't use Facebook for log-in to services. You don't say why Step #1 is "give you lots of my financial info." Site design needs some polish. There are a few unfinished edges. Color palette is too muted and visually hom

Quick peeve: these are not programmers. These are computer scientists and applied mathematicians in the area of high-volume finance who happen to write code. They are being paid to write cutting-edge algorithms which are optimized in the ex

Hogs, or people who want to use the service they were sold? Compared to much of the developed world, the USA has really poor telecommunications services. Why do we need to go backwards?

No. You do however need the following first-order equation to work out to a quantity of money which is meaningful to you. (customers * profit per customer * number of times each customer pays) - (customers * cost per customer + static costs
