I don't remember reading anything specific by Wiener, so that might have been from one of his talks or /Cybernetics/ or something, as for Wittgenstein, I'd look in the blue book. If it's important I can try and track down the references lat

There's Whitehead, who co-authored "Principia Mathematica", and then there's Wittgenstein and Wiener, who offered a fairly thorough critique. Doubtful that they didn't understand it. I can't hunt down the exact quote right now, but AFAIK, w

There is a nice open-source (which github is not) web front-end for git repos, http://www.gitalist.com/ , and would you believe it, even they use git-web on their website.

Italicize the quote or set it in different font. If that is not possible (because of strict style guidelines, maybe), your best remaining option is to lampshade its appearance.

I love me some sencha! >Green tea is helathier. Could you perhaps link to any reasearch backing up that claim? Anecdotal evidence is fine, too.

You might find Cmd+Shift+/ useful then. It allows you type menu commands on keyboard, see where they are in the menu, and discover new functionality.

For somebody new to the whole iTunes Store ecosystem it is neither faster nor less mentally challenging to set up a new ITS account than it is to jailbreak their new device. It may strike you as obviously false, and it may well have been so

I don't quite see how you could practice critical thinking while not gaining any solid ground. Are philosophical truths to unattainable, so eternally receding? How do you know that your way of arguing has any benefits if you can't get close

I wonder if Seznam really is more popular than Google in ČR. Do you have any data to support this? Also I wonder what the deal is with Jyxo.cz. How much behind Seznam is it nowadays? Wasn't it technically superior?

Because corrupt system is ineffective system. If they have enough influence to control the system through and through, enough resources fine-tune it to serve their ends, enough involvement to subvert it, why would they put up with ine

Vex, as in vertex. Bulging outwards. I think the proper way to remember those (I've struggled with them too) is actually use them a lot. For example, some mathematicians study convex geometry, which is a meaningful subject on its own. *(laz

Still strange how they don't systematically work to further their influence and improve community. There is place for non-violent restructuring of corrupt governments from the inside.

By the power of anthropic principle, AKA naïve reasoning, I call upon the practice of double-counting my evidence and gain a BOOK.

POTENTIAL SPOILER You only have to think in terms of permutations, which always break up into cycles. How is this especially hard?

This is something I just don't get. Congressmen are some of the most frequent flyers, and if anybody outside TSA itself has any say in the matter, it is them. Why don't they push harder? Alternatively, why does the press behave as if congre

Now, wouldn't it be interesting to show up at the airport with a couple of spare dosimeters and give them to the porn crew? It is doubtful that they are all instructed against them, or else they would have already considered radiation risks

For what it's worth, I didn't waste a single click when deleting signature, went straight for it, though I agree that it is unintuitive in principle and that there were not enough contextual cues.

There are several significant problems with TrueCrypt. Somehow, they fall into different domains, so for most users only one of them really matters. For FOSS-champions thing is that TrueCrypt developers are sneaky and don't accept contribut

As far as I understand, mathematically von Neumann's computers simply use some specific algebra that is decidedly different from naïve arithmetic. It is actually very useful in certain applications, such as cryptography, that rely on its al

There were a couple of clones, but none took off really. The most prolific one seems to be newmogul.com by nickb, focused on business and economics. Nickb has all but disappeared since, and Newmogul is no more, but some of the patrons moved

I would guess that 8GB is maximum bonus space, which adds up to 10GB when you count the two gigs you started with.
