an information forager who loves to graze.
writes software.
has more than enough interests.

Looks interesting for some tables, but I'm not sold yet. Seems to (mostly) only show analysis of a single dimension at a time, though it looks like there is some scrubbing capability? For multiple dimensions (and I…
Programmers of the world, you are at the forefront of job creation!
Very interesting. So Zatocoding [1] allows for a card to have multiple index entries, and then any of those could be used to retrieve it. For completeness, the 1951 paper is here [1]. Apparently has been covered in…
There are tools and data available at the Science of Science (Sci^2) site [1], part of the Cyberinfrastructure for Network Science Center, funded by NSF. I haven't looked closely in a couple years, but my impression is…
Go to https://www.meteor.com/ and Start tutorial. After installed you can go through the tutorial in an hour or two depending how deep you go, and it comes with a number of examples (show with "meteor create --list").…
Haven't tried, but I think I would find this intrusive and annoying--I'd be mentally keeping track of how many tabs I had open and then checking my bookmarks if I went over. Not for me, but maybe useful for some. I've…
(this comment has nothing to do with this distro, just the general state of software installation and the transmission of such instructions on the internet.) I'm not sure anybody else gets you, but I'm totally with…
I would like to see a study done on how much ad-blocking can save in terms of energy costs (not running flash ads), bandwidth, and reduction of risk from malware.
You don't have to wait. You can turn that off with '-n'. When you jump to the end of the file ('>' command) you'll see "Calculating line numbers... (interrupt to abort)" and interrupt (ctrl-C) here will also turn them…
Use '/' (search) to enter a regexp to match a pattern on that line, and it will be highlighted.
At the other end of the spectrum from practicing "scales", there is the growing size and complexity of libraries and APIs. If you only scratch the surface, learn the minimal necessary, then go on to learning something…
Beer is very easy. So is wine--actually easier. Lots of people have made them over the past 5000+ years, so how hard can it be? I had helped a friend a bit with some beer, but it wasn't until a few years later I tried…
This is something that interests me very much. My vision is an "active" notebook--something I can record ideas or hypotheses in, come back later and find them explored, implemented, fleshed out and connected to the rest…
See http://hypothes.is/ for an open-source annotation-tools project with a lot of big minds behind it.
I second jOOQ. The fluent interface actually catches SQL errors at compile time (brief example is in the wikipedia entry[1]). [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Object_Oriented_Querying
So how many bugs remain? Mostly rhetorical question, but can any extrapolation be done? If you go back five years, can any of those numbers correlate to the findings since? Do any metrics such as cyclomatic complexity,…
Good points. But it can also be illuminating to try one of the wagons on for a bit and see how it feels. "This is the big thing everyone's talking about? It's just like some X I put together 10 years ago, with a couple…
Me too. Maybe 30+. I have alternately thought that it was procrastinating, ADD, FOMO, the distraction of shiny objects, etc.--new terms keep appearing. In the past this has been "useful", because I learned a number of…
Suppose 100 top spam sites all had a portion of some top legitimate content site (like NYT). Wouldn't this lower the ranking of the legitimate site? Ignoring other factors like number of incoming links--which for…
More useful would be an infographic that showed ingredient quality info, sugar/caffeine levels, generic flavor symbol, environmental impact etc.
For long-term (at least, how they did last month) is not in the top 5 (for 3 locations I checked, at least). No problem with that; nice interface. This site compares various "weather providers" and compares how they…
Whenever I hear about Microsoft, I just think irrelevant. Am I bad? Sometimes I think I might have missed out on something, but in 30+ years of programming I've never done any real development on it (unless you count…
so we learn how important sleep is?
Who's on first ? No results found for "abbott and costello explain monads".
I like Tabs Outliner [1]. I like the tree organization, and you can easily move (multiple) tabs from one window to another (open or closed tabs), as well as naming the window. It has a bit of a learning curve, but the…
