Always interesting to see some hypertext history. I have a personal connection to KMS, so it was interesting to see that although it wasn't mentioned in the article, it was included in the references - just like in the original WWW pro

Excel also has named rows/columns and cells - one of the bunch of useful tips I learned from Joel Spolsky's "You Suck at Excel" presentation - here's the part where he covers that: https://youtu.be/0

Here's my favorite story of said "Big Boy Engineering": http://www.jwz.org/blog/2002/11/engineering-pornography/ It's about fixing a short in a power transmission line. Sounds simple,

I went to UCSD about 10 years ago, and have lived in the area since. If we're talking about new faculty, who probably want to buy a house and may want to live near campus, I'd agree that UCSD's location is problematic financi

Those terrible meaningless PDF names, along with wanting to automate grabbing BibTeX from online databases (mostly ACM and IEEE for me), were the main drivers for writing BibDesk, a Mac OS X reference manager: http://bibdesk.sour

This looks like a nice API on a quick glance. But, since this service proposes to store email data, I was hoping to find some information on the site about how they plan to make money, and what they'll do with my data when they go away

From this article: http://www.sportvu.com/PDFs/ESPN_62011.pdf "Three cameras on each side of the court..." This reminds me of a talk I heard a long time ago from Takeo Kanade at CMU, who was working on reconstructing 3D scenes from multip

$100k/year is certainly a lot :) I can imagine facilities like hockey rinks buying the cameras and selling the service to the teams that play there, but not at that price. My impression of hockey rinks is that they're not terribly profitabl

The "ghost" players in these animated replays that show where the system thinks a player should have been are fascinating to see. I wonder how automatic it is - if games could be analyzed like that without much expert input, this would be a

Nothing - if everyone knows how to use it. Version control is not as commonly used in research & business writing as you might hope.

Too hard to pick one, it depends on the task. Maybe I'd go with M-x Occur. Other candidates are regex i-search, registers, yasnippet, kill/copy/(insert)string-rectangle, etc etc. Also, emacsclient.

I watched the demo video and went looking for a download link. Really well done video, nice ideas, but no download and no mention of how/when we could try it? Does it exist?
