I'd recommend this as well. It's obviously an old classic but I read it a few years ago and was pleasantly surprised how updated the author has kept it.

Read an article last month that was somewhat seriously asking if Trump has ever used a computer: http://gizmodo.com/has-donald-trump-ever-used-a-computer-176...

I still remember getting a new computer for Christmas almost two decades ago and seeing Microsoft underline words red and correct spelling/grammar the first time. It felt like magic.

If it's changed, won't you have to convert all the numbers too?

There's actually quite a precedent of engaging in political activism from jail.

I like these posts as much as everyone else, but this is literally at least the third one this week. Maybe it could become a recurring monthly thing like the hiring posts. Walden: "Society is commonly too cheap. We meet at very short

He's willing to pay someone $5/month too when I think he doesn't even pay for Evernote. If he did his ticket would have been picked up in 24 hours and they would have suggested he check note history.

I had a Wallet Ninja several months ago and it could be useful every once in awhile. I'd go the airport though and I would be stopped every time, and I'd have to talk to the agent and insist it's TSA compliant. After a hand

Indie game dev Jason Rohrer (Passage/The Castle Doctrine/Cordial Minuet) recently had a forum post about his income. I'd link to it but he's requested people not link to the Cordial Minuet forums: We made $140K from The

Making colleges more meritocratic while preaching about affirmative action seems somewhat at odds.

moot is never capitalized. I guess we'll see but I mainly read it as he was stepping down as an administrator.

Their graphs don't only adjust up. That one does, but that's because the only really significant downward movement is while their regression is still trailing behind.

I don't think the graph is particularly good either, but I think you're maybe reading it wrong too. The y axis is significance level which makes sense would normally improve as visitors go up. Their line arguably is a moving ave

In addition to being obnoxious I don't even think your analogy is correct. Programming languages are the tools, and it makes sense a non mechanic wouldn't understand why some tools are better than others.

Actually a lot of Nazi research such as Pernkopf Anatomy is removed from the library/institutions on ethical grounds.

When I think of Deep Blue not playing like a computer, I think more so of it leaving itself open to a forced draw the one game when it had the upper hand.

This SLA printer is actually pretty good for ~$2k https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fsl/pegasus-touch-laser...

I've played around with both, and the extruder printers are generally vastly inferior to the printers that use lasers.

Where was it proven false? I saw them say it wasn't them, but that's not really solid proof.

If it was selection bias like that, the same would apply to people in other cities, so it wouldn't explain the difference in the graph. My guess is people in Santa Cruz on average have a longer commute.

Not to sound pedantic, but I think you mean marginal cost.

Syntax and style are tightly coupled in Python. It's not hard to remember i++ is the same as i+=1 or that if(bool) { can optionally have a line break between the guard and the brace. In other languages, you have more choices. If you

I hate poorly styled code. Edit: I don't know why I'm being downvoted for this. That kind of mentality inherently churns out bad code.

I would guess that small subset of users is a big subset of users that use DDG.
