Anecdotally (I'm posting this to see if I'm the only one who's noticed), there's something culturally (or legally) unique about jaywalking in California. The ambiguity of countdown timers should have been a problem in ev

Charter school grad here. From a school which often came out as the top school in the state on standardized tests, in a high income suburb in a state with an already strong public education system (MN). Anecdotal observations: From what I c

This is not a criticism of this study, but I do want to observe that "aging" has a very specific meaning here, and it does not really just mean "harmful." Aging causes things in your body to fail. Smoking, also, causes t

I cannot get over that an art museum has examples for parsing their metadata with jq. Or maybe you want to use markov chains to make fake descriptions of objects in official museum-speak… $ find objects -name "*.json" |

I don't know if this is the true for Lyft, but the recent articles about UberX strikes suggest a bait-and-switch tactic (or at least a perceived bait-and-switch tactic). The amount of money you make used to be high enough that people

Although, as a follow-through on the "say what you will" comment above, the Mt. Rainier one where scrolling vertically makes it scroll sideways is an abomination.

I disagree with the comments complaining that the "Sways we love" are just a bunch of sliding jQuery animations and therefore unimpressive. Say what you will about whether or not it's a good idea to promote the longevity of t

I'm a heavy drinker who runs in a crowd of heavy drinkers. I am typing this at a bar. I should probably drink less. I cannot imagine drinking an average of 10 drinks a day. Even playing with the numbers a little bit: if you were to h

I'm curious about the "Angular drawer settings" section in the settings page. Is this list "discovered" in some way, or is the list of Angular services to inspect hard-coded?

1. This is a vocabulary and syntax quiz, mostly. 2. The code is unreadable (formatting) on a phone after 1.5 Manhattans. 3. Anybody else read the title in Robert Pollard's voice?

I didn't see the original title, but I still thought it might be a parody of TM2. The TextMate saga is a big part of the reason why I have become reluctant to make any non-OSS tools part of my daily life. (Although I might not say that

I think it's reasonable to replace "which is weird because" with "which makes sense because" in this remark. The version of your rules that I grew up with was "trust God and do Good". Religious angst aside

Hard work. Boring work. Unfulfilling work. There is no relationship between these three things, but the author keeps saying "hard, boring work." I don't feel particularly bad about insisting that hard work doesn't have t

Obvious man is obvious: learn to program. Seriously though, there is an immense amount of overlap between formal logic and computer science. I learned most of what I know about Turing machines and computability theory from Philosophy classe

The sentence (non-parenthetical) is poorly placed, in that it can't really be understood until actually reading the rest of the section. Something like, "according to Deconstruction, the resolution to this critique of Descartes is

On the other hand, I think the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy's article on Derrida does a pretty solid job of summarizing at least Derrida's stated definition(s) of "Deconstruction:" http://plato.stanford

Since becoming "Director of Technology" of a startup, these emails have enlightened me to all the kind of technologies that have directors. My favorite was the suggestion that I apply for "Director of Pork Technology" at
