With your figures, assuming 100k edits being created.

Cut the "bullshit" by half leads to 47.5k useful edits (95%/2; or at least ones without bullshit) plus your original 5k leads to 52.5k useful edits. Except we've only a third of the people - assuming equal distribution of edits - so 17.5k of edits are now useful. More than a 3 fold increase in useful edits in the same amount of time.

So in fact if you change the system to put off a lot of people in your hypothetical manner you can improve the useful edits.

This is akin to pricing out "toxic" customers. Or having complex methods that filter out the more intellectual as those with most power (arguably the problem being ascribed to Wikipedia in the article).

Assumptions here make the figures entirely unrealistic but I think the general thrust is nonetheless sound?

I've generally avoided GIFs myself, originally because of patents. Lately though it's because with optipng/pngcrush being told to try every possible compression option on them I can usually get small images down to under 500 bytes, sometimes much better than I could ever do with a GIF. This seems to mostly be due to the fact that around certain sizes a true color PNG may compress better than a palleted image.
I'm not blaming the bundle guys for their selection nor do i wish for an alternative system where steam and bundles didn't exist.

I am merely saying there is also a long term downside to the industry in reducing the expected value of games in general (one we can see even more extremely in the app store).
You have missed the point. The claim is that Unlimited Detail offers real-time voxel rendering with unlimited detail now, not when there's more powerful computers. It doesn't need a GPU. They supposedly have a new algorithm, which would indeed be revolutionary if true.

I would however love to read your thoughts on those matters if you'll blog about them :)
I have to say that I'm a little bit baffled by things like this or recent updates to Flipboard that introduce "features" that I can't imagine anybody asking for.

Why show articles in a grid instead of a list? A list makes the hierarchy clear, and is easy to parse.

Why have articles text on multiple columns instead of one? Multiple columns are a left-over from print newspaper who had to use them for practical reasons. I personally find them less readable than a single column (except maybe for very short articles).

Why prevent me from zooming in or out to adjust the font size? This is actually one of the coolest thing about browsing the web on the iPad, and you break it.

I think it's a shame, because I really like some of the other features, like the preloading of the content, and stripping away the ads and distractions.
Just articles since this is focused more on reading, sorry :/. That kind of sucks though, since the big value of HN happens to be the discussion. In reality this is meant to be: you want to read all the awesome content making the HN front page without clutter and in one place for your iPad, go to this url.

Hey, so this was just one of many layouts and it seemed to be the "cleanest". There's a straight up list layout that we have that would have worked as well, which I almost went with.

We've thought about font resizing, but do you think that's needed when everything is "in focus". ie- no need to zoom in away from ads or to see the rest of the article.
I believe the reason is partly cultural. South Americans, like South East Asians, are less privacy conscious that Anglo-Saxons and Europeans are. Badoo and Hi5 are examples of less private social networks that grow more easily in these cultures. (Though Hi5 is dying down because of its inability to design and implement software properly--people flocked to Facebook for its coolness and niceness, even then they use Facebook a bit differently in these cultures than in the West.)
The history of the problem with WP is not that there's a lack of people willing to provide quality participation. Everyone from professional authors to nuclear physicists have been screwed by the bureaucratic psychosis that pervades contributing to WP.

Almost by definition, high quality participants are such because they have spent an inordinate amount of time in their area of expertise. They don't have the time to deal with "the WP way", Even contributing an article to WP is a "big deal" for these kinds of people because of the time it takes to do it.

But because WP invariably turns almost any submission, no matter the quality, into a situation of content defense, quality participants simply don't have the time to:

a) waste defending perfectly good material
b) waste learning the ins and outs of WP on how to defend the perfectly good material and manage it through a multi-week AfD process -- possibly several times.

Sure there's lots of junk that ends up submitted to WP, and if you read through the comments here, nobody is really up in arms about that, it's when the actual high quality material (which might represent dozens or hundreds of hours of high quality work) is tossed out because some WP editor has trouble functioning in society and decided that they couldn't handle invaders on their patch of electrons that we end up with the problem you see here.

So no, the only ones who are able to have any sort of impact on WP are the ones who are able to have fanatical dedication to learning the ins and outs of WP and are able to manage an edit through the tortured, arbitrary and capricious bureaucratic processes that define WP today.
Challenges of Dissertation Writing
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not sure that either Voxatron or 3D Dot Game Heroes actually use voxel based rendering. They may or may not store their models as voxels but I'm pretty sure that at some point it's converted into a polygonal model and shoved into a traditional polygon based rasterizing pipeline. As opposed to doing some raycasting into a datastructure containing voxels (e.g. an octree), which from my very limited understanding is roughly what a voxel based rendering pipeline looks like.

Doesn't take away the fact that both games look pretty damn nifty though.
I have an idea for a baby application, that my wife would use, so I assume other mothers would use it as well.

I also worked at a major call center, and man their applications were awful, the during of the time I worked there I sent in major improvements and most were implemented. I imagine there are other places just as bad that could use some good note-taking software about the support call.

Basically, I have a hard time when I dive in because it's not just one language, it's the language, a framework, and a front-end. It's just so much at once, that I get overwhelmed and stuck.

I have been considering just sticking to python, and doing nothing but building little apps that run in console, like start with tic-tac-toe, then AI for tic-tac-toe, then checkers, then AI, and so on. So that I don't have to deal with a framework immediately.

What other users have said is very interesting as well. I could combine my degree in econ with some cs skills and make a decent application(no ideas here though).
It took me > 60 seconds to figure out how to turn the page. My feedback is this: I hate it. When I'm using my ipad, every blog that has onswipe enabled leaves me frustrated. The UX feels slow, choppy, and unnecessary.

I don't understand what problem is trying to be solved. Browsing web pages on the ipad is a pleasant experience. I can scroll with my finger. With onswipe, I can no longer scroll with my finger. Why was that a problem? that's not a problem. It doesn't need solving. Please tell us explicitly the value you are trying to add, because I cannot see it.
Interesting, I wasn't being a dick asking that. I was genuinely interested on what I was missing out on. I don't understand images to anywhere near the extent of most people commenting here but I was interested enough to try and understand the article, "try" being the operative word.

The article makes a common mistake.

"But these days, many workers have lost a near guarantee on a decent wage and benefits — and their careers are likely to have much more volatility (great years; bad years; confusing, mediocre years) than their parents’ ever did."

But in actuality, this is not really true. Most workers have a decent wage and benefits by the standards of their parents, and this doesn't even account for the fact that CPI considerably overstates inflation.

In fact, the majority of Americans are better off than their parents were at the same age. Aggregate statistics don't reflect this due primarily due to Simpson's paradox.

I'm also a bit surprised by the blatant USA-centricism of the article: "Global trade works much the same way. It’s horrible news for a textile factory worker in North Carolina, but it may be great for a fashion designer in New York."

In addition to being great for the fashion designer in NY, it's also great for the textile factory worker in Tamil Nadu. But I guess he is so insignificant that he doesn't deserve even a parenthetical mention.

It was my initial inclination to ask directly and openly for advice, but the last time I did that I got a slew of replies telling me it was off-topic, the item got flagged, and I got nothing useful. This despite it being a question about technology.

Having said that, I really do think that this is something that could be really useful. It probably already does - as an example Trippy has been suggested (which I'll now investigate) - and if it doesn't exist, it should. I would certainly be more inclined to trust the comments of someone from HN than to trust random comments from people with no obvious shared interests or abilities. It's tough to know what this thing would look like, but it seems an opportunity. Maybe the forums (also suggested elsewhere) is the best it can get.

I've put a few other feelers out to see what I get, and we'll see what transpires by the weekend.

Voxatron absolutely uses "true" voxel rendering.

> Voxatron is based on a virtual 128x128x64 display. It's a buffer of 3d video memory that is rendered out to the screen at the end of each frame, much as an old-school 2d display is. You can POKE bytes into the virtual memory, and they come out as voxels. I don't compromise on this -- even the menus are drawn into the voxel display. Hopefully one day I can get hold of a real physical 128x128x64 display and play Voxatron on it with almost no modification.

> The renderer is written in software (C + SDL). Each frame, scan through the virtual video memory back to front and look for voxels that have empty neighbours. If they are exposed, I transform the corners of a cube intro screen space and scan-render the polygon. Shadows are done with a traditional shadow-map but sampled with a filter to get the soft shadows.

"But I haven't seen any bias against people who do cite books."

If you recall the great programming language AfD wars of recent. The problem was precisely that the editors exhibited an extraordinary bias against two things:

a) references of printed material -- because they didn't have a copy so they couldn't verify it, and/or the proceedings were not perceived to be notable enough on that particular editors radar to be counted

b) references of printed material in another language - as odd as it may seem, people who communicate in other languages do have something to say and produce material that can be referenced. But because the editor couldn't read that language, it was dismissed.

I'd believe what you posted, the trouble free utopian life of a contributor, maybe 5 years ago when one could actually contribute to WP without having all their changes reverted followed by snide comments from capricious editors. But the reality is that there are very large numbers of people who won't even be bothered contributing anymore (and you can see a fraction of a percent represented in the comments here) because the experience of doing so was shamefully poor.

Visually it looks very interesting (similar to flipboard) however it sounds like from the ultra negative comments that the experience may not be ideal. Changing it to a scrolling version of the same layout opposed to swiping could probably alleviate a lot of the pain felt here.

I'm one of those people who hates the wordpress one. I clicked on the link, and had the same "Oh crap, not this" reaction I have with the wordpress theme.

"Countless secretaries were replaced by word processing"

The numbers don't back that up. There were 13 million clerical workers in the United States in 1970 (a 40% increase from Mad Men's 1960, btw):

There are now over 21 million: http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes430000.htm

Granted, the population has increased somewhat, but the data don't appear to support the claim that there were vast hordes of clerical workers who were "hurt" by computers.
No, it assumes that user task design should follow the tenets of good UI design.

What I'm hearing you say is that usability barriers are a good thing because they stop people who don't understand the system from using the system, which is the refrain of all defenders of bad UI design. We've seen plenty of disruption in the area of software UI design in recent years that disprove such a theory.
