Ah, but Cantor's proof doesn't just prove that there's "at least one", it proves that there are infinite irrationals. It's just the way this proof is often presented that leads people to believe that it only proves that at least one is irra

Great resource, thank you! That's definitely been bookmarked for later. Another invaluable resource, at least for me, for learning git has been Pro Git[1]. Absolutey wonderful way to learn git even with no background in version control. [1]

It seems to me as though people aren't reading the whole post. Brian loves Emacs (and Vim), and will continue to use them for developing in Clojure. Right now much of the Clojure user base is rather avant-garde, but if we want newcomers to

I think you'd be surprised. Maybe it's the company I keep, or the college I go to, but hell if not at least 90% of the kids who go here think they're "enriching their lives".

Shouldn't a fix come out with that announcement? If they're offering a temporary fix, shouldn't they at least push that temp fix as an update, and fully update the issue later? This leaves the non-technically inclined out in the cold, and

EDIT: IT LAUNCHED! I can't contain my excitement. That vehicle will transport astronauts to space stations (and beyond?) in the Dragon capsule. At 11:48, stage separation confirmed, and 2nd stage ignition as well. So, so amazing! At 11:54,

I'm curious to know why they chose to use MongoDB? Is it because its free & fast? Or is it truly faster than a propriety SQL system? Either way, it's nice to see that computation in science isn't stuck in the 90's, which is sometimes ho

I'd love a link to an actual article, not a tweet. Those couple characters, while written by the venerable Mr. Calacanis, are less than interesting.

This I realize. I also know that Apple has more influence in this than AT&T does, by sheer force of economy if nothing else. I somehow doubt this either happened without Apple's approval, or if it did, something will be changing with re

I sent a (probably futile) email to Steve Jobs this afternoon expressing basically the same sentiment. It's not Apple-like. I don't want to worry about the nitty gritty of how many bytes I'm sending and receiving. I just want to use my iPho

In conjunction with the symptoms and the background you give (18 years of this), it sounds a lot like an autoimmune disease. Which isn't saying much, I know, and I'm sorry for that. I've got an autoimmune disease (Crohn's Disease) which has

Great article, but I couldn't help thinking the whole time that while game theory certainly and apparently can be used to describe the split of the estate, so could simple pattern-finding: the contested sum(s) is(/are) split evenly, and the

I'm looking into porting the whole graphically-related portion of the code into pure OpenGL, which should be just about as easy as it gets to ensure cross-platform/computer consistency.

I've spent an hour or so trying to get pygame working on OS 10.6. I'm using Python 2.6.1, though I've tried it with 2.5 and 3 as well. I've tried their binaries, their source (including using the SDL.Framework which was suggesting in the Su

I just noticed that your git repo hasn't been updated since late 2009–are their updates to this project that just haven't been posted yet? Perrrrhaps with additional comments that might make it easier if one wanted to contribute? > ladd

I got so excited for this that I actually began thinking about writing interfaces to the game for other languages. It'd be fun to compete in a Lisp vs Python—maybe one language would lend itself to a certain kind of tribe. I'll be looking a

I had to buy it, after reading through the PDF. I'll be keeping up with these, for sure. I wish that, somehow, an article of new content could perhaps be in each issue. If there were a magazine like this with original content, or at least h

Right. It would have nothing to do with the tangible increase in labor and materials: electricity, space, more grounds-per-oz of coffee. Come on, really? Yes the price is dependent on what people are willing to pay, but there is a very real

Iced coffee or cold-press? There's a difference, though both are served over ice. Cold-press is actually brewed cold, and it takes hours to have a well-brewed batch. That is a major reason the costs are different—prep time is much longer, a

It may have more to do with the fact that monkeys cannot contract rhinovirus. Therefore, no test subjects with moderately similar physiology. That and Ebola is cool.

Great post. The hidden gem I got out of it is the reason why we will always have developers and hackers and programmers. And it will always be a cool job. We need to adapt to the times, the culture, the technology, the platform, the needs a

I don't get it. In every post or essay about video games not being art, I've yet to see a standard on which the statement is judged. If smearing human fecal matter on different things, or squatting in a bus stop and then cutting 1 ton of ra

What's the point of that? A critical stereotype of a complete sociopath is unlikely to change their minds, and those traits on their own aren't exceptionally wrong . Sounds like a little rant against something/someon everyone can agree is
