If you want knowledge from the same pool Ritter's drawing from, check out this blog post[1] about fr-041: Debris by ryg. Now, keep in mind, Ritter didn't do work on Debris as far as I know, but he's spent a lot of time wi

On the subject of interesting magnetic effects, a lot of people don't know that pretty much all matter is magnetic, just that the strength of the interaction is a lot smaller than what we're used to with ferromagnets. All material

In my experience, the Thai restaurants around me (East coast US) like to make their sauces very oil/butter heavy, which contributes to the second phenomenon you alluded to. I've never been to Thailand, so I don't know if this

I have a friend who used to keep excitedly showing me his crazy, impressive redstone ALU/CPU designs. I kept trying to get him to buy an FPGA and build out something with real hardware, but he maintained that a big part of why it was f

This is a good opportunity to plug ORE, a Minecraft community specifically for this kind of thing: http://openredstone.org/ That video on their main page is mind-boggling to me. I have a friend who's a regular on that

Well, some classic "high school English literature class" books that fulfill that criteria are Miller's Death of a Salesman and Wharton's Ethan Frome. Still in the Western classical canon, Puccini's Madame Butt

DeepFace's figures[1] also come from running it on the LFW dataset[2]. While Facebook's production tech will be more accurate because of what you say, the Deepface algorithm has a lot of raw power, too! [1] http://www.c

That was an interesting article/book summary. The main idea (that there exists a correlation artistic creativity and mood disorders) is something I've observed anecdotally. I get the impression, however, that it serves the end of

Actually, your timing is really fortuitous: Just yesterday, the aforementioned Farbrausch member/NOWHERE developer posted a progress report[1] for the game. Somewhere near the end, he mentions that they had to delay the game's Ste

For a point of contrast: I attend the College of William and Mary in Virginia. In 2009, the College dropped its speech codes and became one of the most free-speech-friendly schools in the US. This has its ups and downs (in my opinion, mostl

I'm not very in-tune with Wikipedia's culture (which, I've read, is very nuanced and rigid[1]), but I really don't see why this is a bad thing, given the information in the articles is accurate (and the article gives the

I feel like Minecraft came close. Interestingly enough, Minecraft has similar features to a lot of MUDs (focus on player-defined and player-modified environments, lack of focus on graphics, fantasy tropes, some programmability, a game cente

In short, I think the X240 improves incrementally on its predecessors, but the rest of the market has moved fast enough that it's behind the curve now. Slightly longer: For $1000 today, I can get a Macbook Air with: - An SSD - Twice

Some of the newer Asus Zenbooks have the three criteria you're looking for, but they're very flaky on consistency and reliability (different trackpad hardware on the same laptop at random, screens dying randomly). I actually have
