Ya I thought the same thing. Using a 14-day moving average makes it clearer. A 100-day rolling period averages out nearly all the specifics from the data. You can change the moving average - it's in the bottom left corner of the graph.

What happens when you want to share but you aren't with that person? For me the vast majority of the times I'm sharing it's with someone that physically isn't with me. Maybe I'm just a special case.

I agree. The way most people understand what math is and the way we teach math is horrible. The math curriculum is a disservice to everyone that's been exposed to it. I think mathematicians and scientists alike are realizing this and beginn

My wife just finished this game last night. She usually sticks to the usual boring flash games, but got into this and was up late finishing it. It was about 8 hours of play for her (with the usual web browsing and such). She really enjoyed

Ya thanks for linking the thread. EvilTrout - Just to verify your previous statements - I remember when I took networks in the 90s my professor told us UDP was the way to go if reliability wasn't a requirement and performance was important.

Think nosey neighbors. It's, of course, unethical, invasive and rude... but that hasn't stopped any of my neighbors from looking in the windows when they are open. To me the valuable part is the dictionary. The rest of this is relatively st

http://www.matrox.com/graphics/surroundgaming/en/home/ I play WoW in 5040x1050 across 3 monitors. I find it hard to go back. It's immersive when you want it to be. It's a great way to view information without blocking the main screen. Plu

Ya that should be the minimum required to bootstrap. I always thought the definitive minimum code for lisp was here: http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/paulgraham/jmc.lisp Or at least from a historic perspective.

I currently use git and the command prompt on my mac. I use the GitGUI on the PC (it kills me using cygwin... I fail and complying to the minor differences). I would be interested in a new GUI option for the mac, I just haven't found anythi

The article really was entertaining. These are all common problems for new C# programmers. Doubles in .net are IEEE 64-bit (8-byte) double-precision floating-point numbers . I've written a few different comparers to deal with problems like

I believe that is what he was getting at. So parents can see where their kid's phone is. We all know that teenagers are plenty creative when it comes to sneaking around. 1) drop cell phone at friends house and enable call forwarding. 2) do

This is an interesting question. Great teachers seems to be universally great across almost all students. So finding what makes them great and spotting it early (and eventually teaching it) would be great for the society. I really enjoyed t

This is a great idea. There is inherent bias in academia and unwillingness to accept ideas that go against the canon. That being said the worst case is still scary - crackpots could be given an apparently legitimate platform. The best case

This is great to see. Twitter really left you with few options. One huge advantage with rolling your own site is you can do everything that Twitter hasn't done. Due to either scaling or their community (depends who you ask) there is a lot t

I agree. For me version one would have been usenet, FidoNet and BBS chat circa late 80s or early 90s. I knew then what Trent has finally figured out. Sounds like he really is "living next" to us.

Apple is adding age based ratings [1] in 3.0. Since that is the case, I would guess that this is an example of content that could be rated appropriately and added to the app store. Personally I support as much artistic freedom as possible.

I'd recommend sending your resume in anyways. As others have mentioned networking is they best way to work around such bias. A recommendation from a competent employee will usually outweigh a degree. It's likely the tech manager doesn't car

You can't do this sort of philanthropy with 1/500th of the money. The difference between government doing it and a philanthropist is efficiency. There are no beaurocracies or regulations when it's your money and your charity. Meanwhile if t

The society as a whole can benefit from this kind of philanthropy long after it happens. For instance I directly benefited as a kid from a Carnegie library[1]. Meanwhile Andrew Carnegie is considered a robber baron[2] worse than Gates in mo

I'm glad to see new efforts in exploring deep oceans. It's amazing to me how little effort is spent exploring our own planet. We know very little about the deep parts of the ocean. The world has had the technology to go there since 1960 whe

E Ink seems more valuable than $215M. It's a great idea, they own the patents and they are already manufacturing components. They are growing in a new sector. Or expanding into netbooks and laptops depending on who you talk to. I have to im

Wouldn't Amazon just come out with a reader that worked on these new netbooks? They already have an iPhone app... So I don't think it's too big of a leap to think they may extend to other markets as demand rises.
