I feel the same way. The ThinkPad is the only computer that could potentially tempt me away from my MacBook. So far I'm stuck to OS X though (dreaming of Arch minimalism).

It would be wonderful to have the privilege and dedication to learn all of this. Do you think it would be possible to construct a high level treatment that would impart a rough idea of to the layman? One that omitted all the business about

When I inspect a cathedral, that is perfectly considered at every level of detail, I know more powerfully than at any other time that life is worth living.

I love the community of languages that have adopted LLVM as a back-end: http://llvm.org/docs/ReleaseNotes.html#external-open-source-... Pure, FAUST, Julia, Clay are all very promising and I didn't know about Open Shading Language or Porta

I use iMessage for this. It works great. It could be better. It works better than having a separate app I have to switch to. It works better than having to ask my friends to install an app that they have to switch to. Still, I love that fee

Your blog is fun. We need more elder perspective around.

This is really fun and bizarre. Unable to really say anything, I find myself trying to communicate structure by my action. I've been trying things like: holding my block in one place, trying to stick to somebody else's block, joining the bu

I make art installations, performances, and new musical interfaces using tools like Max/MSP/Jitter, Pure Data, SuperCollider, Processing and openFrameworks coupled with some hardware hacking, but it's difficult to make money doing this befo

To be fair, most of those are < 1 post per day, but still you point accurately a major issue of mine which is wanting to stay abreast of too many fields at a time. I hope I will be able to whittle-down my field of focus further in the c

While I've found some nice ideas on Less Wrong, articles like this recent one: http://lesswrong.com/lw/frp/train_philosophers_with_pearl_an... go to show the tunnel vision of the "Rationalists" that haunt that part of the internet. I thin

Statuscode and Javascript weekly are good for picking up technical news (new stuff, version increments) that you may have missed via Hackernews.

Scott Aaronson's blog is so awesome. I would be reading it now if I still had room in my head for the whole 'rationalist' thing (along with Overcoming Bias, etc.) Check out his "Favorite Posts" in the right-hand column. Lambda the Ultimate

I try to keep my subscription to an absolute minimum since I like to leave some time for reading books. After a lot of culling, I'm currently subscribed to some popular feeds: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/ (general web design / dev) h

This is incredibly important. Every time I talk to people from outside of the country about the US, the first thing that comes up is the difficulty of obtaining proper healthcare.

But it seems the opposite from the interview, no? He seems to believe that he is creating legitimate value. There is no mention of the error in the process.

I'm sorry to hear that you're not familiar enough with cultural theory to understand the post. Just as somebody unfamiliar with mathematics would be hard-pressed to understand (and understand the point of) the jumble of symbols, it requires

I can't believe this guy has no sense of humor[1]! He's completely serious about providing a service and making tons of money from it. In one question the interviewer asks: 'could you make a novel for instance?' to which he replies 'well, n

In addition to the problem of wide-spread untreated mental illness, many public schools are much like prisons for kids who have trouble adapting to social norms, both in that they do not grant basic human rights and that inter-student relat

It was this changelog that convinced me: http://sass-lang.com/docs/yardoc/file.SASS_CHANGELOG.html#32... @extend, @include, % placeholder selectors. But I take your point about gzipping and from what I've read redundant CSS has a negligib

I'd love to know what you didn't like about SASS.

I'm not so sure Stylus is the superior language. SASS seems much more well supported and features like @extend: < http://sass-lang.com/docs/yardoc/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#ex... ; make a big difference. EDIT: sorry, I meant @include: h

Hey, sorry about dissing your site. It's not that bad and could be tuned up quite easily. – The text shadows on the main page are a bit much. 1px offset is sufficient and the shadow color probably doesn't need to be so light. – Grey boxes a

Thanks! Mimosa seems less opinionated, supports everything. Has modules. Ugly website. Brunch seems less opinionated, supports everything. Has skeletons, plugin API. Nice website. Grunt seems like the roll-your-own option and is probably mo
