Happy to see that there is still interest in this kind of content/aesthetic (reminded me of Phrack). Will definitely follow :-)

Surprised to see this here. Toone has been working on a production model for ~4 years now — hopefully it will arrive soon, as the customs are usually made of fine recovered woods, aluminum and unobtanium. Although a Stratocaster (of any bra

In addition to latinos and vegans, there is a likely explosion of ketogenic eaters to come very soon, thanks to all the research pilling up about the great benefits of being in ketosis. Avocados are usually part of an omnivorous ketogenic d

The author omitted an important one: microservices are the new source of spaghetti code. When trying to implement as multiple microservices something that should actually be a single service—i.e., the ms's are not useful as independent

"Real world systems often have poorly defined boundaries" ... I have seen teams getting hit by that multiple times. As usual, it is a bad idea to try to make everything fit a single model before attempting to understand the conse

There should also be a comparison of type of cognitive task vs type of music. Once I have the solution to a problem in my head, I do great writing code while listening to instrumental music with a lot of repetition (some progressive electro

Yes, it can happen for multiple reasons. I have personally seen it fail once: a PhD candidate in physics was asked a random but basic question about quantum physics, he couldn't answer, and the committee "voted" no. From what

I agree, there is no ghost. Consciousness is an emergent behavior of those elements: neurons, their interconnections, neurotransmitters, etc. However, in theory it may be possible to reproduce those elements down to a molecular level, allow

You just provided the best translation :-) Now I'm wondering if the translators were intentionally trying to avoid multiple words, or if they didn't realize how much meaning they were losing.

That line, that one opening line. Once I read it, it was instantly etched into my brain. I read the book in Spanish. It was the first magic realism book that I read, and also the first book authored by Márquez that I read. I had no idea wha

Back then that was amazing. I remember showing my desktop with E14 (or 15?)—a later version than mtoddh's screenshot—to people that only knew about Windows, and they thought that I was a visitor from the future.

This is great news! I have been waiting for a very long time, and it is finally here. A month ago I installed it in Fedora and Ubuntu, to get rid of Gnome3 and Unity ... and guess what? Linux is once again an amazing workstation—beautiful,

Unbelievable. At first I assumed that the scientists must have been out drinking, or must have made up the data ... but, no, they simply gave the best prediction they could, as they should. I guess that forecasters of quakes and weather in

Yup ... I still remember going almost blind by throwing Mg in H2O ... and coming back for more, both experimentally an theoretically. Contemporary parents must learn that it is good for kids to get cuts, bruises, broken bones, infections ..

Guys, please notice that I said that "a diet with a good amount of cholesterol is a necessary condition to achieve good levels of Testosterone." I did not say that it is a sufficient condition. In other words, good cholesterol intake + "oth

Twelve years ago I had read too many peer-reviewed papers to know that low-cholesterol diets were a bad idea, and useless from the point of view of having a good blood-cholesterol profile. Useless because, for example, population study afte

Some people, and the referenced paper, are citing Jaeggi's dual n-back as evidence that interventions can positively affect g(F) (fluid intelligence). I would like to mention that Jaeggi's results, and working memory training in general, ha

Besides the other good replies to your comment, I should remind you not to confuse the model with what it describes. We can describe electrons as a wave and as a particle, but in reality they are neither.

In academic circles it is not controversial at all. Outside of academia, people will always resist these facts. However, keep in mind that this is one part of the puzzle, and always explicitly note that when talking about this subject in pu

I was about to retweet this news while honestly adding, "Who still uses Word?" ... then I remembered that less than one year ago, while still working at Xerox Research, Word was the standard and I was the only weirdo forwarding documents in
