Steve Jobs & Apple Started A Fashion Line In 1986?
Long before Apple became the iconic of cool that it is today, waaaaaaay back in 1986 they actually released a fashion line, no joke.

It's really cool to see how you've come up with tron in just 219b.

You mention saving 11 bytes, bringing the total to 212. Then another 9 (seemingly making it 203). But go on to say you saved 2 more bytes, making it 219. I'm confused.
There's nothing particularly amazing about watching a man try to navigate a system he hasn't been taught how to navigate. Most of these kinds of experiments tend to end the same way, unless the system includes metaphors the users are already well accustomed to using.

I don't think there's any question Microsoft will include an extensive tutorial in Windows 8's final release. If they don't, we can safely laugh at them. As it is, though, this video is rubbish. I could make a similar video filming my Grandmother trying to use Windows 7(She only knows how to use a specific type of Web TV, sans mouse). I guarantee you we'll see similar results.

Windows has a massive install base. One of Microsoft's most important tasks will be to train their current users to make the transition to this new UI. It's not a small feat. But this video completely sidesteps the most important part in the process, and instead asks a man to use a novel, manufactured system with nothing but his natural inclinations. On those grounds, I think he does quite well. But the video is rubbish.
The author didn't pick good examples of contrarian anecdotes found on HN. They are contrary to a study on coffee consumption and dementia. The study, however, is only a sample of 124 people from Tampa and Miami. The study is just as likely to have found an isolated effect as the posters with family members who consumed a lot of coffee and still developed alzheimers.

You would be better served by this:

The author must be a frequent coffee drinker who didn't like that some people had a different experience with coffee than some other people had, and felt compelled to write that post. It's not the contrarian anecdotes that left me with the sense that the research findings weren't conclusive. It's the fact that a population of 124 people in two cities is not at all representative of the target population which numbers over 40 million according to the census bureau.

Maybe when the study researchers conduct a larger study I'll believe them.

Well, I see Haiku becomes more and more popular. I wonder on one thing - why would I be interested in next operating system if I have Windows 7 and Linux? What does it have that those systems haven't? I think authors of Haiku should find that and make sure that people that visit their site will read about that.

Indeed, "Hatred" doesn't meaning seething mad. It means "a feeling of intense dislike; enmity"; if you "hate" vegetables it doesn't mean you are angry at them but rather at that point in time you have an intense dislike of them. Note that at a later date this can change to enmity's polar opposite, love.

The point being, is that hate is a subjective emotion, often based on perceptions that are not fully informed. To hate something you don't need to fully understand or know everything about the subject of the hatred. Witness Hitler and the Jews (I feel that this is an appropriate metaphor to allow someone to invoke Godwin's law so I can stop talking hatred towards innocent vegetables!)

Incidentally, apology accepted :-)

There is mathematics in it, but it's not just mathematics; it was originated, and is still used in areas like AI, as an attempt to formalize thought, i.e. a kind of formal philosophy. A good portion of the foundational work was done by philosophers (e.g. Frege, Russell), and a lot of current work (especially in modal logic) is done by philosophers as well.

Those 13 IPs aren't as hard coded as you suggest. They typically ship with the DNS server software (ISC bind for example) but these are updated at regular intervals. As long as all 13 IPs aren't changed at once you could quite easily transition from one set of IPs to others. In ISC bind this root "cache" even has its own zone type; "hint".
I believe the point was a meta one: when arguing in favor of studies with randomized controls, do you make the argument by setting up a randomized controlled study to test the superiority of randomized controlled studies? If the only things worth paying attention to are the results of randomized controlled studies, then that's the only possible way you could consistently argue in favor of them.

Instead, it seems more common to establish the "ground rules" of science by some other means, such as arguments about the pros/cons of various scientific methodologies, or even what counts as "scientific methodology" at all (and at this point, you're doing philosophy of science).

US's IBM supercomputer overtakes Japan's Fujitsu as world's fastest
There's another video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeeOkHjV7nM where he is asked to use a mac for the first time in his life. The guy has apparently used XP for many years and is a die-hard windows fan. Watch how quickly he is able to pick it up (with zero instruction) in comparison to Win8.

The Win8 start screen isn't hard to get to - if you know how. I'll have no trouble with it, you'll have no trouble with it, and anyone who is given a tutorial or basic training will have no trouble with it.

But I'll bet there's going to be millions of users who find themselves in the same situation as the guy in the video, and it's going to be a nightmare for any company who tries to deploy this to all their users.

For me the big take-away is this:

Important user interface elements should be visible on screen.
No. Contrarian anecdotes are good. They may turn out to be without merit, but then again so may the article itself. Having a real discussion is a good thing.

Also, I would like to propose a logarithmic scale for weighting such things. Say, if the article in question found something extraordinarily significant with 100 out of 100 samples resulting in A, then it's still not rational to weigh a contrarian viewpoint resulting in B with 1/101 - it should maybe be closer to 1/3 or something.

Consensus culture and worship authority are not desirable in my opinion. Arguments should be weighed on their merits and it's appropriate to explore other viewpoints or explanations even if they turn out to be dead ends most of the time.

I have a rule about art. It doesn't have to be everybody's rule; it's just mine.

If the artist creates something that he would want for himself, for his own living space, even if he knew that nobody else would ever get to see it, I'll accept that it's art, even if I can't stand it. If the artist is working on commission, the rule applies to whoever commissioned it. If it's something he would want for himself for his private island hermitage, okay, it's his art. Different people have different tastes, and this is his. And I'm fine with edge cases such as making things such as children's art under the sincere belief that he would have wanted it for himself if he were a child. I'm not trying for a legalistic definition, just a general principle that, to be real art, it has to satisfy the artist's personal esthetic desires in the complete absence of social payoffs such as statement making, money, being the center of attention in order to feel more significant, trying to build a reputation, etc.

If it would be something he would want for himself--a vibrant blue canvas in a color the artist finds mesmerizing, for example--then I consider it art even if he intends to sell it, get attention, build a reputation, etc.

I doubt most modern art could pass this test. I think most of it is just cynical manipulation of the pathetic and pretentious by the narcissistic and manipulative. If the artist wouldn't have any interest in it in the absence of an audience, it's just a product.

Of course, I can't know for sure what the artist's motivations were for a piece, but that doesn't matter. My definition of fraud doesn't require me to be able to spot it.
The only time I want to launch Chrome (it's not my main browser) is if I want to visit Facebook (which is blocked every which way in my main browser).

Now, if I wanted to make visiting Facebook quick, I'd create a shell script called 'fb' which would start Chrome with facebook.com as the argument. But I don't, so I haven't.

Switching to a terminal? I'm always in a terminal. I have 4 open on my desktop right now, not including the virtual terminals hosted in screen sessions. I'm pretty much never more than an Alt-Tab away from Cygwin in mintty.

Less dense layouts don't work well with the mouse, in my experience - I'm talking about screen-sized layouts, the kind you see on phones and tablets, only scaled up to multiple 30" monitors[1]. Big mouse moves can cause you to lose track of the mouse altogether for a second.

Graphical output? I'm not really sure what you're getting at. What kind of graphical output would you want, apart from starting graphical applications based on command-line arguments or piped output? I've written many of both. Most of the time all you want is to view a graph, picture or video. All are trivial to integrate to the command line with appropriate glue.

[1] This is actually a bigger concern of mine over Windows 8. I'm normally multitasking across 6+ apps at all times: my custom notetaking app, vnc, several terminals, browser, documentation and two email clients. It's why I have multiple big monitors. Only being able to multitask with two applications at a time sounds like a bad joke.
The OP point was not about art being mere satisfaction for art nerds, but that there may be an effort to appreciate it. That's true of most art forms. It just happens that which effort depends partly on the person. It seems that for some reason, people are put off by what's around modern and contemporary art (the social aspects of people participating in it, etc…). Nothing prevents you from going beyond that, appreciate what you like, and expand your taste to new things.

The whole "my five year old can do that" argument is a bit tired. That's similar to the arguments that music using electronics is not art, etc… By itself, why should the amount of efforts necessary to produce something matter at all ? Besides, a lots of people engaging in "garbage looking art" were actually very skilled from a traditional POV, but went a way where they would not use it conventionally. Note also that similar issues arise for older art forms: it is fair to say that most people are put off by classic zen gardens (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryōan-ji). There is much less social proof at work there, and yet, couldn't you make the same argument about them ? Would you dismiss them as easily ?

Regarding Rothko or Klein, some people really like his art, without claiming to be particularly knowledgeable about art. Don't forget also that the famous stuff is generally a limited period of an artist production. Rothko did not just pain rectangles, Pollock dripping period was relatively short, etc...
Cloud-based API for applying effects on images
Surely that must have some sort of scaling by default for webpages. Otherwise I would guess nearly all websites appear miniature.
This blog post describes how to easily apply effects and filters on images using Cloudinary's cloud-based API: hue, saturation, brightness, oil paint, sepia and more. The post also explains how to apply multiple chained image transformations simply by modifying an image URL.

Great comment. I am most certainly not claiming that you shouldn't question research findings on other grounds, such as sampling bias or statistical significance, as you have done here; those types of points are extremely valuable.

I've noticed that many of my biases, typically for or against some name brand or technology, even if not anecdotal, are old. I now try to remember not only how I came to this opinion, but when. I guess that's one of the consequences of aging.
I'd guess that's because "tens or hundreds of MW" of on-site backup power would be _ludicrously_ expensive to own/maintain, and the tradeoff against the risk of both ends of their dual grid flickering at once and trashing the current batch is less expensive. (or maybe the power supply glitches are insurable against, or have contract penalty clauses with the power companies?)

You should question everything. This includes studies published and labeled "scientific".

Contrarian anecdotes are important (but they too should be questioned).

Nothing should be above questioning; even prevailing wisdom.

If best contrarian comments are weak - I assume that original article is probably correct.

If I don't see any contrarian comments, then I suspect groupthink in discussion.
I totally get where the author is coming from, but I am not reeeally sure if that is good advice. Anecdotal evidence has its place, eg: proof by counterexample, challenging false, but widely held beliefs, or alerting people to new circumstances.
