The lectures that were put together into the Feynman Lectures on Physics were fabulous. I believe they actually originally thought the audio was lost, but later someone found a bunch of tape reels in storage. The audio is heavily distorted,

In my experience, Tinder was a huge improvement over things like OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, etc, but Tinder has a super clunky app and is still geared mostly toward hookups. There is always room for improvement!

All orbits go around a common center of mass which is not the center of mass of the orbiting bodies separately. The Earth-Moon center of mass is still located within the Earth. [edit] I forgot to mention that the distinction between a satel

That was quite the rant. There's a bunch of stuff to object to in it, but limiting my criticism to the complaint that perplexes me the most frequently: ...Why are people so caught up on the number of connectors? Why is it difficult to

Funny, I actually just reactivated my account a couple months ago. I've put a few hours into it, but haven't done much. But within five minutes (seriously, I checked the clock) of logging in to the Chesapeake shard (which is not

The JXcore team has regrettably not done a great job of removing old and misleading stuff from their site.

...why do you still have that page at all? [edit] It's pretty dishonest to knowingly keep a flatly misleading page like that up. It's linked to by Google if you search for stuff on JXcore security, and there are news articles that

What does that even mean? This does not sound like a very reasonable response. What is cheap about what they did? The JXcore jxp page[1] makes assurances that are clearly absurd. [1] http://jxcore.com/jxp/

Is there anything to the JXcore project? I was at one meetup where (I think) a core member gave a presentation on it that seemed loaded with inaccuracies about Node and mobile development, and it sounded all quite suspect. Then I went to th

Fortunately, it turns out that climate scientists have actually thought about the history the system they study. They've probably even collectively thought about it more than a person writing an article for the Economist!

It's strange to have a demo for a voice chat system with no audio track.

This is a very wrong way of reasoning about probability. The chance that a coin will at some point land on heads does not decrease with the number of flips.

At some point things have to stop being called "syntax changes". Just because you can represent the same operation by pressing more keys doesn't mean that it's not useful to add an abstraction on top of it to ease cognit

As has been pointed out though, that is not the primary thing that arrow functions give you. They're really there to avoid having to manually bind functions in order to maintain execution context or use the old `var self = this; func

People have made head tracking systems by mounting the sensor bar from a Wii on the brim of a baseball cap, and then placing the Wiimote on the top of their screen. I saw a video of someone playing Half Life 2 with it, and it looked to be s

Yeah! I actually originally tried out blacksmithing because I wanted to be able to make some custom drawer handles for a desk.

First off, I'd see if there are any places offering blacksmithing lessons around your area. They're great, inexpensive, and a fun way to spend an afternoon and make something. You will need a heat source, something to use as an an

Important note: React doesn't attempt to solve any data modeling issues itself. It just gives you a way to describe to a browser what it should draw when given some data. It's not trying to provide solutions to all the same issues

I own an early kit, and got to play around with a more recent one a bit ago too. Sadly, my experience wasn't very positive. The API felt super restricted, and it didn't seem like it was improving much. [edit] Additional details: i

Yes, they are. ...But I wasn't referring to that list, I was referring to the people commenting on here. Also, a representative list of scientists who do not oppose the mainstream view of climate change would be far longer (note the ch
