Prototyping mobile accessories! When you're working with hardware, building things to make things talk takes a lot of time. This makes it easier. It's also useful for student projects. I got one of the original wiretaps when they were giv

This is really important – I think every organization should do this. At my last job I learned so much from watching more experience people code and asking them questions. Now I volunteer my knowledge to others whenever I can because I know

I used Mathematica for this. For every math class I had a designated Mathematica notebook that ended up being a summary of the course by the end.

Well, one of the main tools for data analysis, R, is already free ("democratized"). That said, automated access to datasets, natural language parsing and other AI goodies lower the barrier to entry for non-professionals.

You can let this comment float to the bottom, but I just want to say that this makes me want to cry. When this product came out, it gave me so much hope for a few ideas that I've been working on related to tuning HVAC and lighting with bett

I don't know, it's compelling and I do have soft spot for this kind of stuff, but I find it as "melodramatic, over-produced [and] formulaic" as anything on Anjuna. Sometimes I'm in the mood for that, but it doesn't satisfy me at all intelle

Let me be clear: I have no issue with trance as a form (highly repetitive 140 bpm 4/4 dance music). But trance music as a scene since the mid-90's has been characterized by melodramatic, over-produced, formulaic and not forward-thinking mus

As a DJ/producer, I have a professional obligation to loathe trance music, but I can't deny that it's just the perfect thing for programming. Some of my favorite balearic stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdhIwGZxtLA http://www.youtu

I think that very few directors would want to forego the possibility of their film appearing in theaters. Films are designed for theaters and to those who make films, the home-theater experience, which increasingly consists of a laptop on a

Art – the kind you find in the museum – is entirely enabled by the concept of the "patron". Throughout most of history, patrons have been aristocrats and other wealthy peoples. Without wealthy people to support artists to make art, there wi

If you take a moment to watch an entire episode of Sponge Bob Squarepants, you will discover that it's is a brilliantly crafted show. For one, it layers humor for three target age-groups. Kids love it, but it's also full of sexual innuendo

Yes, for me this also seems to be the case. Most of my procrastination results from not having scoped out my task load. I overestimate how much work I have to do, get anxious, then engage in various activities to quell the anxiousness in th

For about 6 months during high school I would take a 1.5 hour nap after dinner from about 7:30pm until 9:00pm then sleep again from either 2:00am or 3:30am until 6:30am when I had to wake up (multiples of 90 minutes). With 4.5 or 6 hours of

At 2:50 a patch of light seems to track the space station on the surface of the Earth. Is this light from the sun deflecting off the hull? If so, would this be visible (as a sudden flash of light) from the surface of the Earth?
