I agree. When parsing speech, we humans listen for many cues all at once. Spoken language even has intentional redundancy so we can identify and disregard inconsistent cues. For example, a child or foreign speaker might replace "peanut

I'm not going to defend CenturyLink, but in the interest of attributing this mistake to incompetence rather than malice, I'd like to suggest how this might have happened. CenturyLink is a multi-state ISP and their generic system h

Good clarification, thanks. By "downward", I meant downward acceleration, not necessarily downward velocity, although colloquial usage of "downward" usually means velocity.

They fly the plane downward, matching the vertical acceleration with the acceleration caused by gravity. You owe it to yourself to see these amazing videos filmed on planes that simulate zero G: OK Go - https://www.youtube.com&#x

A few years ago, I set up centralized logging with Elasticsearch and Kibana on a site with very little traffic (less than 100 requests per minute). After a few months, it apparently fell behind on indexing and worked the logging server&#x27

I'm also doubtful about color psychology, but color model theory (including color wheels) has some real substance. Most web sites from the late 1990s are today recognized as ugly because the color choices were awful (perhaps because th

On the other hand, if Facebook had hired him, it's unlikely he would have had enough freedom to create Whatsapp or anything like it. Even if Facebook knew what was going to happen, Facebook still made the right choice when they rejecte

You're right, but for many people it's difficult to become a thought leader until they have first improved their skills in reserving judgment and combating bias. I've met people who seem to have a strong opinion on everything

In this case, Stanich wanted to serve his community, and if he raised the prices, he would drive away his own community. If I were Stanich, I would raise the prices but also offer reusable vouchers/coupons to all past customers, friend

Thanks for your viewpoint! Here's something concrete: the first phrase in the video ends with "small demonstration", but starting with the second instance, I distinctly hear "sall" instead of "small". In t

Ouch. Applying the Confirm label to a continue/next button is asking for trouble.

Actually I think the Rust folks would appreciate any feedback on the security of the service, as long as you don't DoS it or use it to do anything bad. :-)

Hi! As someone who seems to struggle more than most to understand people on video calls, I'd like to give you my impressions. Something struck me about the sample video. The very first sample included background noise, but it was very

I wonder if WebAssembly could help accomplish that. Still, even Rust has a compile-and-execute web service call accessible from the rust-lang home page. If Rust people (who tend to emphasize security) feel it is possible to secure that web

Another way to accomplish this is to add "MDN" to all CSS and JS searches. For example, "mdn array slice" lands right on the best documentation on array slicing (tested on Google and DuckDuckGo).

Fun idea, but I suggest I would be much more inclined to go to meetups if there were free salad instead of free pizza. :-)

The accurate thing to say is that technology magnifies people's will. People use technology to spread both good and bad messages, to entice people to do better or worse things, to help others or to put them down. The spread of technolo

Google Groups often gets into a weird halfway-authenticated state that won't let you see public posts. It's visible if you're actually anonymous. Try it in an incognito window.

Interesting. It seems like Cisco's attempt to make their firmware non-transferable is not enforceable because it's in conflict with first sale doctrine, which is part of the copyright act of 1976: https://en.wikipedia.o

There is almost certainly selection bias at play. For example, people making a lot more money than their peers may have chosen not to take the survey. I don't see anything in this survey that attempts to correct the biases. I really li

One idea: let people pay if they want to, move old posts and videos to Amazon Glacier or similar long-term storage, and let paid users expedite the retrieval. Matching the Glacier terms, free users have to wait 5-12 hours to see old posts a

Blogs are a good answer for the question "how do I post?", but not a good answer for the question "how do I read?". Most people want some kind of aggregator. There are many aggregators out there, but if the answer to the
