I've been wondering, are there Java libs as good as numpy/scipy? Sure, in general Java has more libraries but is that true when it comes to math? Oh, and great call on Clojure. I've been having fun with it too.

Ever notice any 80s movie characters who were computer programmers? I can remember one - it's the weirdest thing to watch. He's socially awkward, which is reasonable, but he also has no money! All the cool kids in the movie make more tha

This is pretty cool. The amount of data will nearly always be tiny so you ought to just process and display it interactively unless the dataset is huge. And speaking of interactivity, it really needs an 'undo'. I'd like to read a blog post

Many national parks were at least partly rangeland for livestock. Think of Arches, Bryce, Zion, Joshua Tree, etc. I certainly think Texas and Iowa would be better off with more national parks. The original tall prairie grass ecosystem is

Which is not to say you shouldn't click! In fact these are the most useful Java applets I've ever seen. He still should've done them with Flash, though.

Back in the 90s it seemed like you'd see these kind of art things all the time. This one reminded me I miss that stuff. There should be a name for these things.

We can build towers that extend beyond the atmosphere? I'd like to hear about that. Not that it matters. The top of the atmosphere is usually marked as 120 kilometers up. Let's say you can build a tower one hundred times that tall, aro

If they're doing a good job of it more or less the way you'd be doing it, bail. You want to be crusading for your future users, saving them from the crap they would have to put up with if you weren't helping them. If you don't think you a

Amen. Lisp history is like Chinese history. The 'warring states' period, though lamented as chaotic, was the most innovative time for both. Harmonious unity sounds good but yields stagnation. So three cheers for Arc and Clojure, and Est
