Frege, Russell, Whitehead, Pierce--of course! It doesn't help that many philosophers of mathematics are, for obvious reasons, either also logicians or mathematicians, so demarcating between advancements in philosophy of mathematics tha

This stinks of scapegoating, of cover up, of distraction. I'm sure Uber hopes this is a best/least impact course of action for them to begin to erase last week's terrible publicity from everyone's minds. They a. Fire

I just recently, finally , began annotating my books and dog-earing pages after having run the gamut of other annotative methods--taking notes on my phone, taking notes in a corresponding notebook for the text, using index markers/sti

As a hobbyist programmer, I have to say this is a fantastic idea. I often find it difficult to come up with dummy problems to solve in order to get some programming in--having a real issue to work out is far more inspiring. This is useful e

Man, I really have to re-read the Great Gatsby. It's ridiculous it's assigned as high school level reading. Yes the prose is appropriate for high school understanding, and the base themes are comprehensible enough, but man , the

You're being unfair to Kafka here by reducing literary accomplishment to mere quantity. Yes, his works were all short, but all of them far surpass the majority of "novels" pumped out daily by the modern publishing industry an

Ive tried out your attitude before dude. Toughness, rawness, bitterness toward the rest of those meager peons breathing your air, whining over their petty inconsequential concerns. It's gets tired real quickly, buddy. And yeah while mo

No doubt it would. If I were to do that and manage to survive however I imagine it will come back with a vengeance.

Dogmatism is dogmatism whether or not there's a man in the sky behind it.

I know where you are coming from. I felt that I was a member of a different species, to the point where that idea quite literally manifested itself as a concrete possibility in my head. You're right man, it's all thought based...i

I'm not going to touch on whether the 'gifted' only feel this sort of constancy of existential fear and depression. I don't think that matters. I think moving past it does. It's a question of framing. I have battled

I prefer Harold's work myself, and at first glance thought this piece was by him, and was, admittedly, for reasons any other fans of his work probably can understand, quite surprised.

My alma matter is doing groundbreaking research on sexting. Never thought I'd see the day. In all seriousness, it is a twofold problem. Yes, the media is partly responsible, but there is also a huge internal problem with the scientific

Terrible way to hire in my opinion. Personally, I'd rather hire employees who are resourceful, can admit when they don't know something, can follow up with others and conduct proper research to tackle cases where they don't k

While there are plenty of problems with academic publishing, and the notion of making articles free and easily accessible is one I can certainly support, I do not see the rending such articles as free as a grand step in the general increase

As someone who is a fan of the generative grammar tradition, that's pretty cool! Going to have to read the full study later, but it sounds like they have some decent results from that press release (though not total evidence for the th

The framework problem is a real interesting one... I'm a hobbyist--I am not employed as a web developer, but I like too experiment and see what I can create, so for me, learning a new framework is always a fun little project to embark

In most cases its actually the opposite. If you are using quality fonts, as you should be, you will only need to adjust the kerning in very rare cases. The type designers are the ones who have to concern themselves heavily with the font ker

I've been playing with/learning meteor for the past week. The reactivity is no doubt a great feature. It's a great joy to develop with meteor too, with hot code pushes, the app automatically updates to include your file chang

I love playing around in bash. Most of the scripts I have right now are just for setting up project templates, adding common packages etc. Actually, I think most people who use computers at work, be they writers, designers, whatever, not ju

Good job, tenderlove, that's a nice performance boost. Personally, I really dislike Ruby's syntax, though I haven't spent a huge amount of time with it (because I dislike the syntax). The use of bracers and other lexical mark

I can confirm, that, at least at some companies, more time has been devoted to ux, and now ui. If I am correct, I think they've always shot for good ux, but ui was usually secondary. Now they have focused on ui a lot more, and companie

Hm. I would say it's easy for either role to learn at the entry level. I am entirely confident that an engineer who had the desire to learn some business could pick up the basics fairly easily, just as I am confident a business/sa

Yup. Both you and the op of this thread are correct. Managers not knowing enough about the field they manage can cause problems. In the same way employees not knowing enough about managing can also cause problems. Essentially, if either sid
