When Google and Facebook ask if you enjoy puzzles, I'm pretty sure they're not talking about jigsaw puzzles! They mean stuff like this: http://realmode.com/punch22.html

I too was surprised by the author's question. It's as if he hasn't been following the news lately about the apparent impotence of the 4th amendment these days. Yet his wiki page says he "has been regarded as a leading sc

Because the aggravation of obtaining, understanding, and maintaining a computer + internet connection is not worth the trouble. I hear people claim that once everything's set up, it's easy. That's not my experience. Every tim

A classic mathoverflow moderator debacle. Good question, marked community wiki, with good answers including the top-ranked one from Bill Thurston, an accomplished and beloved mathematician who died just a couple of years ago. Despite the am

Free speech is at an all-time high in the sense that you can call the president an a-hole and not worry about going to jail. It's not the curb on this kind of speech that will make it 1000x worse than Orwell. Technology allows surrepti

For a one-man shop like me, GAE has been a godsend in many ways. I've also deployed toy apps to AWS and Heroku, Azure and OpenShift just to give them a spin, but I'm certainly no expert, and I don't doubt that some or all of

Back in 2008 I submitted a similar idea to Google for their 10^100 idea fest. It goes a step farther in that not only do you get directions from your phone, but the buses are re-routed dynamically, in real time, to optimize travel times. Th

The explanation and the Python code were just fine but I was 100x more impressed by his keyboard performance. I still hit backspace at least once per line.

Mr. Edamaruku is a coward. If he believes in his cause and has a complaint about the wonderful miracles of India, he should man up and return home to stand trial before his own country's system of justice. —John Kerry

The blame resides on the media and its partnership with an undiscerning public. Time after time, the same experts are trotted out, no matter how awful their track record. This is at its worst when it comes to politics, unsurprisingly. As a

I know he has America's best interest at heart because of all the flags. Had he just had one or two flags, I would have been skeptical. But five! And they are large ones too. Plus a lapel pin for good measure.

Ironically, the question you linked to is exactly the kind that gets closed so often on StackOverflow as being "not a real question" or some such. Thankfully, when they close something it doesn't get deleted.

Their page says you can get a US keyboard layout but I can't figure out how to order one like that. I could live with the UK layout if it weren't for that key in between the Z and left-shift.

Thank God! They no longer whip the search box across the screen the moment I enter a character. That was one of worst UX design choices I've seen. I know they were just making room for a longer search string, but to yank it like that g

I like your philosophy, but I think this counterexample is misleading. The Hanoi puzzle is an old favorite, largely because it lends itself to a surprisingly short, recursive solution. If your goal is merely to churn out the steps, then an

That was my first reaction too. I say that as a fan of both Stephen Wolfram and his baby, Mathematica. If there's one thing I've learned over ten years of using this product, it's that Wolfram does not give away Mathematica

The Simpsons in CSS isn't development advice, it's a piece of art that you can learn some advanced CSS features from. Click on "How I did it" at the bottom.
