The interesting thing in this write up ifs the difficulty of securing funding to take care of some of these basic usability issues, or hire dedicated developers. A lot of the difficulty is that there are lots of people working on sage, but

The sage cell server (used for embedding sage computations in webpages) has good features in this direction. Each cell gets run in its own sandbox, with a server configured timeout.

You could go with a good-sized pile of Raspberry Pi's with camera boards. $35+$25 for the Pi and camera board, plus the cost of sd cards and networking gear, probably still keeps you a bit under $100 per camera. Plus it's fully

Yeah, this was my thought, too. "Hey, you re-invented the derivative!" Of course, it's a discretized derivative, but whatev's.

This. I used to use Blosxom in static-only mode (a bit of blog rendering software which consisted of a single 200 kilobyte Perl file). At some point I used it to build a seminar page for the department I was in, and it's still happily

There's far less emphasis on in-house training for specific skills than there once was. My mother, for anecdata, came out of a computer science program in the mid eighties with her education financed by her employer. Companies today

Right. We've had 'competition' in the last mile for the last twenty years, and it's led to terrible service and slower broadband than anywhere else in the developed world. Because that 'competition' leads to

Computer science is embodied mathematics... It stands to reason that some trends would be reproduced. The divide discussed in the article is definitely quite real. There's a fairly significant bunch of young mathematicians who develo

One of the fundamental problems in American society is the failure to recognize that hard work is a necessary but not sufficient condition for big success. Yes, you do need to work hard, and do a hundred other things right, but even then,

I absolutely agree with this. Having spent time working in Kenya, frameworks for locally hosted apps which refresh their data during rare spates of internet connectivity would be helpful for a wide range of applications.... Along with eas
