Maybe he was going for a world record of most citations in a single paper. Who's to say he wasn't just doing research? How many downloads is too many?

I would be willing to bet that the JSTOR TOS do not give a specific number. e.g. "You may not download more than n papers in 24 hours." And if they don't state a maximum in the TOS, then why shouldn't they, for clarity?
I have been checking out twitch more and more lately (big time waster) and noticed that it's a strong magnet for creating communities around specifics streams. Not only big time e-sports are attractive, regular dudes playing some games might be the biggest attraction in the end.

The Iron Law of Evaluation and Other Metallic Rules
well, tbh, web design is not the kind of thing that can be characterized as 95% anything, except as a rhetorical flourish.
What I take from this post is that the author is seeing a growing ego problem, with makers using too much time and energy broadcasting their accomplishments instead of letting their work stand for itself.

However this ego problem has always existed in all industries, not just from makers. From finance types to the over-important auditor, the marketing intern and even in the service industry, ego's are abound.

What maybe the difference is that tech makers have never in history had easier more accessible methods to express their thoughts to a larger audience.
This is super cool. I used screenleap to try it out with my remote team members and I am very impressed personally. I wanna mess around with their APIs a bit.
I've heard that argument about Korea ever since I started following and working in eSports (around 2004ish). Yet, I'm still waiting on that big breakthrough in the USA/Europe. I'm afraid it will still take quite some time.

1. unrealistic goals, they are never going to look like brad pit so why bother.

2. Not enough pay out. Sure they are in better shape, but they weren't an active person before so their new fitness is going to go unused anyway.

3. The reward cycle isn't fast enough. I know some people claim working out makes them feel great(endorphins and all that), but the rest of us just get tired.

4. Most workouts are just absolutely boring, lift this heavy thing 20 times, run in a circle till you drop.

So the ideal workout would be mentally engaging and provide feedback quickly. Off the top of my head blacksmith or rock climbing come to mind. Some of this is already being serviced by adventure runs(mud runs, zombie runs) etc.
Speaking as a non-dyslexic, that font is actually really hard to read.

Very interesting project, though.
Not true. Especially for games that require skill. For me it's extremely interesting to watch League of Legends pro players. They invent new strategies and create trends like popular champions to play with. I would argue that LoL is (much) more interesting to watch than Football (be it American or "real" football), Basketball X-ball, Formula 1 or you name it competitive "real" sport.

I am afraid the Maps for small countries like mine will be even worse.

A quick solution for you might be to use a third party GPS app/maps. Usually they are better than Google Maps (you do miss the integration with the other iOS apps though).

I wonder how much of the low quality is due to Apple (bugs of the new Maps app, which can be easily fixable) and how much is due to Open Street Map data being subpar (which needs much more time and work to fix)?
And? That's the definition of a peer.

There seem to be two issues here that are being conflated.

The first is the value of peer review. I don't agree with the arguments that having a select group of people, who are experts in their fields, reviewing papers is a bad thing. Nor do I think that opening it up will result in anything other than a terrible amount of noise.

The second argument is over the necessity of for-pay journals. Here, I think there could be a lot of work... if the new journal still provides the same amount of review and scrutiny as the current ones.
Even "non-enterprise" developers would be scared from OpenJDK... well if they have ever used it anyway.

People can only spend their limited time in only so many ways. Let's Plays dominate the front page of YouTube every day, with many videos getting 1m+ views in a few days only. Many people doing it are really entertaining and funny.

YOGSCAST has 2.4m subscribers. Wait until all of the kids watching LPs now grow up, have their own kids, raise them on the same stuff they enjoyed, and then sit around to watch and listen to their favorites.
Ofc, it is always fun to play it, but you are not watching just anyone that plays a game, but the best there are in it. It's always interesting to watch how the "pros" do it, even for a little while. It's not that different than watching sports...
And not every game will be popular, just like not every sport is, but no one can't deny that a game like league of legends is not getting hugely popular, and tournament prizes are going insane.
It's just that for now most people still see games as something you do "just for fun" not something you can live ofo, but that is changing as we see in this example.
I'd love to see some details about why fonts like this are easier for dyslexic people to read.

I do not know why makerbots keep getting more expensive than the next. I thought with advances in tech, they would get cheaper and eventually I would be able to afford one.

What the heck are they thinking?
Actually, no. Since the 3DS at least, it's ACCESS Software's NetFront NX (WebKit, albeit outdated, not their custom rendering engine).
They announced 4 things:

1) Makerbot replicator 2 ($2200):
http://store.makerbot.com/replicator2.html

The new makerbot replicator is in all black, and the casing seems to be made of metal. They've also moved from ABS plastic to PLA plastic, as ABS tends to shrink when cooled, and as a result, it's easier to get failed prints that curled off the platform or cracked with ABS. It's got a slightly bigger build volume, and the default resolution is now 100 microns, rather than 270 microns in the first Replicator. I'm not sure how fast it is to print at that resolution.

There's a tour here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emt8LJSXry0&feature=youtu...

2) Makerbot replicator 2X ($2800)
http://store.makerbot.com/replicator2x.html

Dual headed extrusion, though in my experience, there aren't too many models that take advantage of this. They've positioned this model as something for those that 'like to tinker and be on the cutting edge'.

3) Makerware software:
http://www.makerbot.com/makerware/

This is actually pretty neat, since the slicing software you use to prepare models for printing is currently really slow (skeinforge), or fast but doesn't handle all cases well (slic3r).

4) MakerBot announces new retail store: Opens at 298 Mulberry St., New York. mbot.co/1sz

And I think this will help educate the public about what 3D printers can do.

If this model holds up to be a no fuss printing experience, I think we might begin to see consumers thinking about getting one.

From what I understand, J has a lot of problems with efficient implementation because array ranks (multi-dimensional arrays) influence how operations are carried out (http://jsoftware.com/help/learning/07.htm), and the ranks are not known in advance.

You're right. We can do better. Here are the full details which are also posted on our blog (http://blog.bitbucket.org/2012/09/19/post-mortem-on-our-avai...)

Earlier today at 2am San Francisco time Bitbucket experienced about three hours of 500 error page responses for users attempting to access the user newsfeed and repository overview pages. The outage was caused by a kernel panic on our Redis server, which is responsible for pages that display recent events related to a user. We are very sorry for the inconvenience this outage has caused.

After rebooting the Redis server, the index that Redis uses to serve the newsfeed content was found to be corrupt, which caused certain pages on Bitbucket to fail. For users accessing pages deeper into the site, such as pull requests, commit views, wikis and issues the site continued to work as expected. During this time Git and Mercurial access continued to work over both HTTP and SSH. After identifying the cause of the problem, we turned off the newsfeed for all of Bitbucket bringing an end to the 500 errors.

With the newsfeed temporarily disabled, we began investigating the corruption problem and discovered a forum post (https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/redis-db...) with instructions and a repair tool to fix the corrupted index. We then used the instructions to repair the index and restore full service to Bitbucket.

During this outage we have identified areas for improvement and are implementing changes to the way we manage the operations of Bitbucket:

1, Improve our escalation procedures so that the response times are faster during non-office hours
2, Update the Bitbucket codebase so we do not have the dashboard and repo overview fail when Redis becomes unavailable
3, Increase the number of tests that status.bitbucket.org performs triggering our automatic phone alert system

We are very sorry for the inconvenience this outage has caused.

Cheers, Justen

It doesn't sound like a whole lot of progress has been made on containerless processing in the last twenty years. In 1990, as a student, I was working with a group at JPL doing pretty much the same thing. We had only a single driver ("speaker") instead of two, but were able to levitate a fairly reasonable weight with about ten watts of acoustic power if I remember correctly. Naturally, you need a lot less power if you don't need to overcome gravity.
Is this scientifically-backed or just some guy claiming it's better?

Because I'm not dyslexic, however reading through that text I had a number of dyslexic moments, which would lead me to conclude it's either a very good attempt or a very bad one.

For example, the word "bold" came across as "blood" and other fleeting examples that I can no longer recall.
Are you suggesting that there's a kind of network equipment that you have to trespass to access for which people have a reasonable expectation that they are authorized to use it?

There's no giant sign hanging over the breaker box in my building's elevator room saying "AUTHORIZED USE ONLY", but I'm pretty sure I'd get in trouble if I went in there and started flipping switches.

I didn't mean to come off as aggressive--was left over pent-up rage from the errors in the article.

I likely shouldn't discuss this topic any more
I've been involved in fitness for nearly ten years, mostly as an amateur bodybuilder/powerlifter, and have spoken to (and tried to help, mostly in vain) hundreds of people about the subject. It was only recently however that I realized why we as a society have not been able to tackle the obesity epidemic effectively: we insist on categorizing obesity as a physical problem, whereas it is fundamentally a psychological problem that develops physical symptoms[1]. This psychological problem is a mixture of food addiction and deeply ingrained bad habits. Most people fail at losing weight and keeping it off, because they only address the symptoms: they try to eat better, or try to exercise. Whereas where they need to start is by first accepting and internalizing that they have an addiction, and developing the internal motivation to either overcome it themselves, or seek help.

[1]This is probably because our society has a strong stigma against psychological disorders.

I had the same thought about Alzheimers sufferers - I know a handful, one quite well.

Alas, part of the challenge of the disease is that you're generally not able to use mental "crutches". E.g. give the person step-by-step instructions, and he misplaces them.

In this case, I'd guess that advanced sufferers would most likely not think to look down at what their shoes were telling them or not be able to interpret what they saw.

Now if there were a gentle way to have the shoes compel walking in a certain direction, you'd have something very useful for this population.

Often when TTY settings are messed up by a full-screen program, you need to type «Control-J stty sane Control-J». It's necessary to use Control-J (i.e. newline) explicitly instead of pressing Return or Enter, because those generally send CR (Carriage Return, Control-M) and CR-to-newline translation is off.
I've had a little professional contact with the Twitch guys, and they're all really cool (as well as having an excellent product). I think they have a lot of things about their service they could improve, but they certainly aren't sitting idly by.

e-sports are akin to fencing or sailing. they are fantastic sports if you have participated or researched them, and if you do not, they are utterly baffling -- to solve this problem you have to invest very very heavily in the user experience for the audience. having engaging commentators is only a small percentage of the problem.

america's cup even has the benefit of being reasonably cool at a high level: 70ft yachts travelling at 50 knots that might flip over and kill people at any moment. fencing has, well, swords. i have never met anyone else that understands nor follows these two sports.

i remain curious as to what e-sports has that make people think they would ever be mainstream.
It's a lot easier to casually open up a stream of a LP in a browser tab, than to stop what you're doing, head to the couch, and commit yourself to an hour of video games. When you're playing a game you have to focus, when watching you can just tune in whenever like when tests are running.

>That says it is the browser default size and that is not correct.

It is correct, just slightly misleading. The size is made to look like the browser default size taking display density into account. It is adaptive.

The 16px font, in the screenshot you send, is not "browser default size". Or, it is, but not as it was intended by browser makers. See, when it was chosen as default, we used 14" 1024x768 monitors or worse. Anybody who wants to show this as it was intended, needs to take account the DPI of a modern screen and increase the 16px accordingly.

Trust me, those guys have gave a lot of thought into readability and font sizing.

>Such huge text is definitely not easy to read for me on any of my devices.

Actually it is. You are just not used to it. Whereas you are used to fonts of exactly the same size (or very near) when reading books. Some people have been conditioned to stare at tiny fonts (a 12-14px font is a monstrosity on a modern display) and proper type jumps at them. Check also Zeldman's reasoning:

"in the guts of several curses implementations there's an evil little select() call which is trying to work out if you meant "cursor down 1 line" or the four seperate characters ESC, [, 1, A by doing millisecond-precise timings."

If anyone is curious how to do that (useful if you want your terminal application to handle escape key presses for example), this is the basics of it:

tcgetattr(master_controlling_tty, &term_settings);
cfmakeraw(&term_settings); /* set raw mode */
term_settings.c_cc[VMIN] = 1; /* minimum of 1 character per read */
term_settings.c_cc[VTIME] = 1; /* 1 decisecond timeout for read */

tcsetattr(master_controlling_tty, TCSANOW, &term_settings); /* write changes back to the tty */

Then if a read on your tty only returns the escape character, you know it was the escape key and not arrow keys or whatever.. unless there is some decent lag.. ;)

It's fairly simple to do, but certainly hackish.

Working out for the sake of working out IS boring, especially if it's linked to feelings of guilt when you know you've lead an inactive lifestyle for a long time.

Even a couple of my friends who are long distance runners say sometimes they don't want to workout but they do it for the boost & feeling of achievement afterwards.

Personally going to a gym feels tedious to me as I'm watching the clock & never feel like I've done enough.

For me classes where you learn a skill (martial arts, yoga, dancing) have produced the best results. Even just running around with friends playing football - 2 hours can fly by!

Finding something you enjoy - games, sports etc that fit in with your social life is much better than x number of hours of miserable workouts on your own!

As a point, I always notice when on holiday in France the tourists seem huge compared to the locals.

Quality vs expense primarily. It had many of the same problems I experienced with my ToM. Not being able to print thin enough walls, bad overhangs, and random problems where it would just stop printing. We had (has since been replaced) one at my local hacker space and the Replicator was the but of lots of jokes. The bottom line is that it was a cool toy but never a useful tool.
Thanks! Just saw that!
I have way more sympathy for aaronsw than I had for Mitnick. Maybe this would change if I looked into Mitnick's case, but my prior is that this analogy would not help Aaron.

There was one game that I had (Clickomania HD?) that went from a full version that cost money to a free version with 3/4 of the functions removed and ads added in one update. It's been sitting in the "hey, update available!" section of my iTunes for close to two years.
I would lean more towards ignorant or a jerk. Not everyone understands what values people appreciate, and it seems like the exec in this story fell back on Hollywood stereotypes to impress the author. Of course, that's a big assumption, but I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt.
It's also copyrighted, meaning that while you may be able to study the source and prepare your own implementation, you would be unable to use any of the assets. Open sourcing it would give you the legal right to use it verbatim according to the terms of whatever license they choose.
The idea is that many letters in the Latin-based alphabet are similar (i/j, v/w, b/d/p, etc.) and dyslexics confuse them. The idea of the fonts is emphasize the differences and de-emphasize the similarities.
