"Today we’re releasing an update to one of those features, which I’ve been calling “Emphasis”: paragraph-specific anchor links and the ability to highlight text in articles and blog posts."

If you have a public facing server then this can be had for free: "ssh -nNT -R 8080:localhost:3000 myserver.com" Et voilà, myserver.com:8080 now points to localhost:3000.

Sir Desmond Glazebrook: City's a funny place, you know, Prime Minister. If you spill the beans, you open up a whole can of worms. And how can you let sleeping dogs lie if you let the cat out of the bag? Bring in a new broom, and if you're not careful you'll find you've thrown the baby out with the bathwater. If you change horses in the middle of the stream, next thing you know you're up the creek without a paddle.
James Hacker: And then the balloon goes up.
Sir Desmond Glazebrook: Obviously. They hit you for six. An own goal in fact.
[… later …]
James Hacker: He only talks in clichés. He can talk in clichés till the cows come home.

"Scott Aaronson, an expert in the realm of computational complexity theory and the founder of ComplexityZoo.com online encyclopedia of computational complexity theory delivered Carnegie Mellon University's 2011 Buhl Lecture.
In his lecture titled "Quantum Computing and the Limits of the Efficiently Computable," Aaronson discusses what quantum computers are, whether they can be built on a large scale, and what's known today about their capabilities and limitations. He goes beyond quantum computers to touch on speculative models of computation, including closed time-like curves and nonlinearities in the Schrodinger equation — an equation that describes how the quantum state of a physical system changes in time."

"In this interview Martin Odersky, the creator of the Scala language talks about work on the next version of Scala and how the functionalities in the JVM help make Scala better. Odersky touches on how some of the most popular entities on the web, such as Twitter and LinkedIn use Scala. And he discusses the complexity of the language and its role as a functional and object-oriented language."

Nice, dobra ideja s opcijom "$1 above average" :)

"The way that they preselect an amount $1 above average is extremely clever. It appeals to people's need to see themselves as above average without costing them anything substantial." + "and looks like they're a/b testing it" (hijacked from hn: http://news.ycombinator.com/item... ) Bas me zanima kaj ce ab pokazat. ^_^

"All of the scheduled talks that we were able to produce are now available. They're accessible from Clojure's blip.tv page, but we thought to post them here so that we could link to slides, if available..."

"ultra-lightweight literate programming[1] for clojure inspired by docco. Marginalia is a source documentation too that parses Clojure code and outputs an side-by-side source view with appropriate comments and docstrings aligned."

"MIT researcher Deb Roy wanted to understand how his infant son learned language -- so he wired up his house with videocameras to catch every moment (with exceptions) of his son's life, then parsed 90,000 hours of home video to watch "gaaaa" slowly turn into "water." Astonishing, data-rich research with deep implications for how we learn."

"I've been fascinated by the phenomenon the question addresses for a long time. We have complex minds evolved over many millions of years, with many modules always at work. A lot we don't habitually verbalize, and some of it is very challenging to verbalize or to communicate in any medium. Whether for this or other reasons, I'm under the impression that mathematicians often have unspoken thought processes guiding their work which may be difficult to explain, or they feel too inhibited to try."

If you don't have or don't want to buy special business card paper, I have also included versions which include a grid. You can use scissors or a paper cutter to create your cards." + LaTeX source files.

"Dutch photographer Gerco de Ruijter recently got in touch with an extraordinary series of aerial photographs called Baumschule—some of which, he explains, were taken using a camera mounted on a fishing rod."

"In 1998, I published a book called Purely Functional Data Structures. Ten years later, the book is still selling well. (Every time I get a royalty check, my wife the skeptic says “People are still buying that?!”) The ten-year anniversary seems like a good time to reflect back on my experience with this book." Short history of the book.
