C# is sort of underrated but gets a ridiculously easy ride for actively encouraging bloat and abstraction-ism. What should be "do a thing" is now design a thing to do a thing then call the thing-do-er IDoAThing. Alone this woul

Why would there be any reason for this to kill excel? Seriously you should try to replace excel entirely rather than merely get a better version of it. If you want to get a better excel just buy excel and actually learn how to use it.

The payload is so big it will be a pretty dramatic phase transition for almost everything space related, assuming theres not some horrible flaw hidden away somewhere. Quite bizarre how some people genuinely think he's just some guy who

Patrick, you're the American psycho! I really like a credit drop a la Gaspar Noe just rolling the credits mid way through Climax. I like the idea of a surrealist scene in a restaurant where the credits are just tucked away in a menu. M

Peter Wright (of Spycatcher fame) wrote that he got good results in the 60s helping people snoop on conversations (i.e. cocktail party problem) by playing mono audio as "stereo" with a slight phase shift in one ear.

So I don't feel offended but one of them was scrapping with a minor (and once fairly controversial although I think he's cleaned up his act a lot, but I still don't trust) British political figure for not wearing a suit right

I think Levine works because he writes like a company memo written after a glass (but no more) of wine.

The menswear guy spends a ridiculous amount of time just trying to own people in his replies which honestly seems extremely childish. e.g. I saw someone say "Don't try to go toe to toe with him, he grew up in [snakepit forum with

But just think of the satisfaction you'll have at your computer being tiny in the dimension you can't actually perceive when using it!

A technique perhaps: SumSquare/SquareSum (it's the inverse of the probability of picking a marble of a certain colour from a bag) is a nice smooth scalar "generalisation"(consider {0}) of counting. This could be applied

Are there any falsifiable theories for humans? It doesn't really bother me if they're mindless. It doesn't seem essential to me that we have free will, even
