It’s no secret that everyone has a link blog these days, and there is no short supply of opinions on this topic , arguing both for and against the widespread use of the format John Gruber introduced in 2004 . I am not here to parrot the words of other bloggers though, but to instead offer a solution to what Marcelo Sommers dubbed “the linkblog cancer”. Permalink.

As I mentioned in my last post, I recently picked up an XPS 13 at a discount from Dell for the Sputnik beta project. When I say “recently,” I actually mean about two months ago, which means this is not a “first look” post. This has been my main computer ever since it arrived, which means I have some thoughts to share. Mostly critiques, at least for this post. Hardware Design Google pictures of this thing.
This post assumes familiarity with our primer on Kolmogorov complexity. We recommend the uninformed reader begin there. We will do our best to keep consistent notation across both posts. Kolmogorov Complexity as a Metric Over the past fifty years mathematicians have been piling up more and more theorems about Kolmogorov complexity, and for good reason. One of the main interpretations of the Kolmogorov complexity function $ K$ is that for a ..

Variety of Updates - boyter.org - 13 years ago - eng
A variety of updates have just rolled out. Firstly there is the new look and feel which I am actually proud of. The website looks far better, which wasn’t hard considering how awful it looked before. The other update is that documentation and code results are mixed together now. An example of this would be the search for mysql_query which displays the PHP reference which has mysql_query in it above the code results.
Earlier this morning Nic Haralambous posted an article titled Don’t Read TechCrunch . Within four hours his article had climbed to the #1 spot on the Hacker News home page with 132 points, at which point I found it and, out of curiosity, clicked the link. Permalink.
Hi All, I’ve been working like mad to try and get this one done and up to scratch. I set myself a deadline of Sunday for having a beta out to start getting feedback, while its not as complete as I’d like it would be great to get your opinions on it! *Updated* link contains 4.0.1.1: Fixes: Settings page failed to save - Fixed - Thanks @ mrlacey Live tile update issue - Fixed - Meee Also thanks to Mark Osborn and Ed Harrison for t..
Define the Ramsey number $ R(k,m)$ to be the minimum number $ n$ of vertices required of the complete graph $ K_n$ so that for any two-coloring (red, blue) of the edges of $ K_n$ one of two things will happen: There is a red $ k$-clique; that is, a complete subgraph of $ k$ vertices for which all edges are red. There is a blue $ m$-clique. It is known that these numbers are always finite, but it is very difficult to compute them exactly.

In the past, education was assessment based - you sat a class, wrote down notes, memorized those notes, and wrote a test based on those notes. The focus was on following this generic structure, and not necessarily on understanding the material or building knowledge in additional areas. Of course, some kids would understand many of these topics in good depth and be able to relate them to other topics easily - they were labelled the “smart..

My old laptop finally seemed to be on its last legs, so I began shopping. I’m the kind of guy who will do research for a month before spending $100 on a hand-held vacuum cleaner, so you can imagine how I deal with something having three or more zeros in its price tag. I started using Debian when I was just a kid, and moved to Ubuntu a few years later.
I’m increasingly encountering users on Heroku that are encountering the need to [shard]( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shard_(database_architecture )) their data. For most users this is something you delay as long as possible as you can generally go for sometime before you have to worry about it. Additionally scaling up your database is often a reasonable approach early on and something I encourage as a starting point as scaling up is easy....

Create.js and VIE were recently added to the core of Drupal 8 . Just like with TYPO3 Neos , I’ll write a longer post on how things went later. The German PHPmagazin was already fast enough to interview me on that at VIE und Create.js: Warum In-place Editing so erfolgreich ist . While there were many interesting CMSs already using Create – including OpenCms , Symfony CMF , Midgard , and Neos – I can understand why the inte....

I like Vim and I like using ‘J’ and ‘K’ to scroll text down and up. I know about Vimperator/Vimium, but they seem too powerful to me. That’s why I started my NIH browser extension. At the moment, Firefox and Chrome are supported. Here are the sources. Any advice or comments are welcome!

Thanks to the magic that is Instapaper, I was able to reference the original text of Josh Topolsky’s article Integrity and Bullies with Blogs rather than the updated version available on his Tumblr blog, although my efforts proved to be for naught when I found the only difference between the two version to be the removal of a single sentence in the opening paragraph. Despite this I do not regret spending the extra ten minutes it took to....

When Marco Arment released The Magazine in early October, the announcement attracted the attention of many prominent internet writers , all of which spoke very enthusiastically about Marco’s magazine initiative. A biweekly publication released through iOS’s Newsstand, The Magazine featured articles from Guy English, Jason Snell, Alex Payne, and Michael Lopp in just the first issue . The second issue attracted work from John Si..

After my startup 's launch was covered by TechCrunch I was asked by a lot of people how it happened. People wanted copies of my pitch to learn from. It was as if I had discovered some arcane secret.

In order to visually enhance my temperature logging I added some Javascript that computes sunrise and sunset for the 24h, 28h, weekly and monthly chart. Then I use this information to plot vertical bands on the chart indicating the effects of the sun on temperatures (and humidities): To add the bands to your Highchart just get the sunrise and sunset value for a particular day and push it on the xAxis.
