algorithms··on Ruby 1.9.3 released
seriously? downvotes for an opinion different to yours?
algorithms··on Ruby 1.9.3 released
Well depends on the purpose. For general tasks it's really vastly superior to most other languages.

I personally don't like some things about the syntax but that's just my personal opinion :)

algorithms··on Startup School 2011 Live Stream
Thank you. :) Going to be a long night. (european resident here)

which speakers did I miss?
algorithms··on Asana (no longer private alpha)
Will this be free in the future or based on a premium subscription model?
algorithms··on Economics in One Lesson
Well I'd argue that it is the same with good vs. bad doctors. The bad ones just try to fix your symptoms while the good ones try to fix the underlying problems. The bad ones can also be driven by selfish greed. If they "heal" their patients, they don't need them as often and therefore they loose potential money.
algorithms··on Biographer: Jobs refused early and potentially life-saving surgery
Which is still a much better chance than trying to defeat the cancer with alternative medicine...
algorithms··on The Great Tech War Of 2012
Guess the launch of Android 4.0 in two days will show us where we're going.

It basically decides the future for 3 major products: Smartphones Tablets Google TV (this could be a LARGE market if they find the right partners)

Add to that the fact that big G will probably try to push Google+ even further with this new generation and this makes the event more important than any previous Google Keynote.

algorithms··on OpenClassroom: Free video courses from Stanford University
I think these Stanford courses are even superior to the MIT OpenCourseWare ones. The quality of these videos along with the feeling that the teacher is directly speaking to YOU is just impressive.

I also have to say, that I absolutely love the "khan"-Style presentations

algorithms··on Mobile UI Patterns
I think it's a good approach to collect a few screenshots, order them into coherent groups and them try to abstract some "pattern".

The screenshots themselves aren't really a pattern though... so I definitely agree with you :)

Seriously, please stop using such horizontal scrollable layouts. It's a pain to navigate
algorithms··on Html5 Neonflames
This is so beautiful. I love it how such samples of beauty can be created so randomly (more or less)

worked in Ubuntu 11.10 Chrome 15 Beta

algorithms··on University of California teachers’ union aims to block online classes
I smell communism... Joke aside, I can't stand it when people dismiss great ideas because of the fact that it will cost some people (temporarily) their job. It's the same with every major revolution in technology, e.g. industrial revolution, Computers, Internet, Cloud Services, Chips to analyse biological data, ... Yes, there will be some people who will lose their teaching job because the system gets more efficient but they will find another job (maybe even involving the new system).
algorithms··on Facebook gets redesigned
It's such a shame. G+ has so much potential but unless everyone joins the game it won't succeed. Facebook really has a TERRIBLE User Experience compared to G+ Let's hope it won't end in a new Bing vs. Google situation
algorithms··on Samuel L. Ipsum
Font rendering looks a bit off. The Buttons are somewhat hard to read. (I'm on Ubuntu - Chrome dev. & Firefox)
algorithms··on Git Reference
This GitHub Series is also pretty awesome for starters: http://learn.github.com/p/intro.html
algorithms··on Git Reference
This is pretty old isn't it? Good and short overview, though.
algorithms··on The Oatmeal Shows How To Draw (video)
I'd love to see more Artists/Developers make screencasts of themselves doing actual work. It's just way more enlightning to watch them in their own environments than doing some 101 Tutorial. I really hope things like http://www.castingcode.tv/ and hopefully some competitors will encourage many pro-devs to contribute their knowledge to the public :)
