Philosophy most certainly does have tangible results to show, for instance: modern democracy, the scientific establishment itself, the various international bodies that enforce civil rights, and the modern field of psychology. If you go far

"It may be asked why it is even worth spending time on these remnants of the utterly discredited postmodernist movement." This is just so ignorant and backward that I have a hard time taking the author of this article seriously. There is no

Philosophers, for the most part, don't answer questions, they ask them. Or so the cliché goes. More correctly, they propose theoretical approaches to certain questions. Modern science, for instance, may very well never have existed if it we

I feel like a super-intelligent alien race that has come across Earth in its interplanetary travels and has made instructional documentaries about "human life" for its young in the same way that we make documentaries about insects and cell

I like Homebrew to, but compare it to Arch Linux's package manager and user community and you'll see that it's far from competitive.

I'm actually a designer and musician. Apple's recent media production tools are excellent. Logic, FCP, iMovie, Keynote, Quartz Composer, etc. are best in class. The move toward iOS influenced software is a net win IMO. Fewer details to worr

The move toward integrated, worry-free, easy to use products for consumers is a good thing. In order to keep such things being developed, Apple will need to provide an adequate development environment. Thus, Apple has an incentive to keep b

I bet you could come up with something passable between 2 off-axis gyroscopes, 2 large induction motors (magnet suspended in a coil that vibrates back and forth – can achieve below 1hz - ~300hz vibration) and some more standard vibrators.

These things are ridiculous. Researcher: "We need an omnidirectional treadmill, but how?" Engineer: "Oh, that's easy. We'll just make a gigantic TREADMILL OF TREADMILLS."

Leggings are a great solution for women, but I'm still looking for a non-jeans everyday pair of pants for men. Something stretchy and comfortable, that can be dressed up and that I can ride my bike in.

After graduating from school in Canada – where nobody cares where you go to school – and moving to New York – where it's supposed to mean everything – I can't emphasize enough how much this doesn't matter . Go where you want to be, where y

Similar thing happened to me. Applied for a few jobs in NYC. Nobody got back to me except for my dream company, who made me an offer shortly after a single phone interview. Shows that good employers are looking for people who are passionate

My IQ is lower than it should be because I have what you might call "ADD". The final IQ score is an average of scores from a few different tests. I score high on some tests and average (which is actually well below average for college gradu

Grey on grey is fine for me, but the typeface is definitely too light with too much space in the counters (how would a type-designer say this – does it make sense to call the face too "open"?) Looks pretty though.

Max/MSP, Pure Data, vvvv, QuartzComposer, SuperCollider, ChucK, Processing, openFrameworks, Cinder, and Field are the big names. But there are many more smaller projects such as Lubyk, Overtone, LuaAV, Faust, Plask, Impromptu and Fluxus. I

I'm not entirely sure how it works, but SelfControl is resilient to you manually editing the host file while it's running. I know it runs a daemon and I'm not sure if it just keeps the host file updated or if it has a secondary blocking met

As always, the multi-media programming environments are miles ahead and nobody knows about them. Field is amazing. Max/MSP, Pd, et al. are a different paradigm altogether, but have had live editing, documentation a click away, etc. and have

That sounds awesome – reminds me of cellular automata – but also, um, I just can't see Joe Engineer figuring that out. My first thought when I started researching Green Arrays was that this was an amazing idea that I would love to see take

I took a close look at Green Array recently and found a few blogs from engineerings who were beginning to play with them. At first they seemed too good to be true, but it appears that the architecture is only a good match for tasks that can

One thing that you might not know is that in Canada, we don't have "debit cards" per se, but INTERAC cards, which can't be used for online purchases. This means that you must use a credit card for online purchases, which makes online transa
