Would it be possible, with this, to display files in your Google drive as read-only to people visiting a website? I'm thinking this would make a killer back-end for certain kinds of websites.

One thing you could explain for the benefit of this thread is what "clustering" software is and what it's used for. Is it the same thing as a "distributed system"?

The usability of the browser is severely hampered by the security requirements. For one, it necessitates running code downloaded from the web in a sandbox, which prevents it from interacting with the rest of the computer in a meaningful w

Is this the only way to make a big difference? I would love to see something like a guide to making a difference in the world. What are the major archetypes of such people? For instance, what of the managers who brought together the teams o

Agreed! The use of Lucida made the site feel very dated to the mid 00's, and it wasn't terribly readable either. Helvetica, especially with full-usage of the font-weights (from light to bold) makes for a much better typographical hierarchy

That's a deal-breaker. Don't buy this bulb. It will make everything look awful.

It seems nobody has mentioned the climate. San Francisco is temperate and mostly warm – you can be outside all year. I spent a lot of time in Montreal. There are homeless people, but they tend to be more organized. You don't want to weather

Exactly. This is the case for me and it's the case for well over 1/100th of the people I know. Almost all of my immediate family have the same issues. It's not a fad, it's a collective realization that this is a problem and what gets labele

As I was reading this article, I used the SpeakIt! Chrome Extension[1] with the native voice setting to gauge how fast the quoted speeds actually are. For me, 800 wpm was about the limit of how fast I could read while still understanding mo

"Product management is a weird discipline full of oddballs and rejects that never quite fit in anywhere else. For my part, I loved the technical challenges of engineering but despised the coding. I liked solving problems, but I hated having

I must say, the choice of Verdana for the body-text is a bit weird and clashes with the Helvetica in the meta-text. I would stick to Helvetica like Designer News. Actually, scratch that. Designer News uses Helvetica Neue. Don't believe the

I don't know, you would just never write "foo = bar->". It looks bad and it's wrong. White-space sensitive languages are great because they reward you for writing with style, plus you don't have to worry about matching and aligning brac

Indeed, the claim that JavaScript developers can't read CoffeeScript seems odd to me. As a novice JS developer, I could read CoffeeScript the first time I saw it and it took me a day to be fluent. For me there's a noticeable productivity an

The typeface on this page creates a visual illusion whereby the terminals and serifs appear brighter than the stems and bowls. Makes me wonder if this happens with a lot of serif faces in light on dark color schemes and if there's some way

This was fascinating to read. I think in much the same way, but less vividly. For instance, when reading a formula, I do not immediately form a picture in my mind. I can do this if I've taken the time to establish the association, but wit

I think the key is to: 1. Set goals and fixate on them. Imagine what it will be like to have achieved the goal. Get excited about it and keep reminding yourself. When you're not making progress toward the goal, make yourself imagine the sit

Yes! I took all of my math notes in university in Mathematica notebooks. Lead to much quicker and deeper understanding of the material, not to mention the side effect that I then knew how to actually use the math to solve real problems.

To be fair, he looked at what was happening in research and thought "I can make this happen in the market" – all the ingredients were there in PARC, etc. That he was able to fixate on that goal and make it happen, however, is a triumph.
