A friend told me recently that they liked Python because it was an easy language to start a project with, but they loved OCaml because it was an easy language to finish a project with. My point? The best language to…
A part of me likes this, and a part of me ❤s this. The rest of me wants to hear what a lawter like Lessig (or someone with a silar amount of experience and stake in the legalese of sharing) would say about it. My guess…
Hopefully there's a twist in the article, but I'm not going to be able to find out. I'm going to point out that any good university has a wide range of factors they consider for accepting applicants - there's no reason…
It's kind of a shame that two people got fired - but I did think it was weird when the person having a private convo was fired but not the person who used their corporate position to launch a public attack on the former…
On the other hand - I'm not sure which problem AZ is solving here. Maybe enough women weren't calling the police saying "there's a man in the bathroom!"
I can't help but think gender-less bathrooms are a better solution.
Are we sure that Microsoft/Google/Samsung/Etc project managers aren't telling themselves that they're "doing it like Apple does it?" I also believe that apple has/had a design critique culture that most people in…
The assertion/snow clone "[x] makes you dumber just for hearing it" can sometimes be more accurately formulated "I do not have an adequately developed set of reasoning tools to grapple with and understand [x]." Usually…
I'm curious if home garden farming is big among the "preppers" - but then I think that planning a more self-sufficient food supply is only valuable to non-nuclear/chemical warfare doomsday thinking (such as the author's…
The first problem is in the second sentence of the report: "The study lasted for approximately eight weeks." Based on my limited knowledge of outcomes assessment and the current scholarship of teaching and learning,…
As someone who's suffered under at least one megalomaniac's attempt to be the next whatever, I would caution any future CEO reading this article and dreaming about following its advice to be careful that you're not…
I was surprised at how thorough the article was. I went in assuming the article would be an ideological argument, but after reading it seems fairly straightforward (spoiler alert: the basic argument is that people will…
'"Man," said the Ghost, "if man you be in heart, not adamant, forbear that wicked cant until you have discovered What the surplus is, and Where it is."' - Charles Dickens
I was super surprised that the "key findings" section of the executive summary in the actual report give a very different feeling of the contents of the report than the summary provided by the Heritage Foundation…
If problems is shorthand for "has a lot of cease and desist paperwork to file" I agree. I'm not clear what Adobe did wrong here, other than actually try to not completely screw people running very old versions of their…
It's the same reason I like having a macbook - I can currently also boot into windows natively or several flavors of unix via virtualization - every os has strengths and weaknesses, why not have them all? If people can…
Given that this has been solved in Spanish seeking cultures for quite some time - well, I guess I'm surprised that either no one at NPR speaks Spanish, or was willing to point out that this isn't an unsolved problem.
Punk is the new black.
I realize that "data" and "thinking" are shorthands for something more fleshed out, but doesn't the title read as somewhat obtuse? Like calling an article "why facts will never replace understanding" or "why Wikipedia…
I think it's possible to likely that Apple would implement something along the lines of sub-accounts for iOS, so that you could hand your iProduct to your kid without worrying that they could read your email, delete…
You are correct - the 2nd amendment prohibits the US government from infringing the right to "to keep and bear arms" - it does not specify what kind of arms, so knives and swords (and theoretically but not actually)…
How could you unsubscribe an email address without asking which one?
Except that laws that deal with morality and other behaviors that people never agree on (drugs and alcohol, sex, public behaviors, etc.) are political suicide to repeal, so few legislators would ever be willing to try,…
I pretty much only work with static pages for documentation, but besides github repos even docs/help is done with a cms or knowledge base app behind it.
People make fun of me for doing it, but I can't stop. It's the one thing that makes google reader hard to use, because I forget and clicking on a news story makes it jump to the top of the page (note to google reader…
