[edit: I agree with crazygringo that it can be distracting if you are worried about the red line being slightly off.]

And I have to remember: that's just this thread, this thread will pass. It's Friday. I'm in a decent mood. Let's find something to eat, start thinking about what I will work on today.

That said, I found it refreshing and pleasant to watch and charming in its innocence and the depth of its ambition.

I'm confused by this. Does the government hold lots of other patents?

I sit here and think, "wow, so few pixels make such a big difference". Then I watch the animated gif go back and forth between iOS 6 and iOS 7, and I can't perceive the significance any longer. I can see the difference, but I can no longer appreciate it.

[1] - or girl, but "good girl" doesn't mean the same thing! If you are female, then I would guess you have to be able to fake that you are "cool", whatever that means.

[edit: When I say 'smart', I don't mean 'really smart', I just mean that you do in fact know javascript and python pretty well as you say]

[edit2: If you are applying for a job programming java, then you should probably at least learn to how to write a class, instantiate an object, match a regex, etc. before going in there. But that will be easy if necessary.]

They are shipping now? Has anybody purchased one?

[edit: I guess I should have googled a bit to see that this isn't the first DIY digital camera kit commercially available]

[edit: "Low battery? Just rotate the hand crank a few times and continue to shoot your photos!" - that's also pretty cool if it works, I missed that feature in the OLPC that shipped]

What we call 'happiness' or 'sadness' is just some combination of the thousands of automatic judgements we've made about the world recently. All of these judgments (choices) are themselves composed of smaller judgements (this is good, this is bad). We try not to be 'judgemental', and I know what people mean when they say that, but I'd say it is in fact probably all we can do. I mean, technically speaking.

You can zoom in to examine the tiny choices (to some extent), and you can zoom out so that sometimes happiness looks for all the world like a single big ol' choice. I think this is what people call 'clarity', and I think I've experienced it once or twice.

But actually, for most of us, most of the time, happiness is the result of all these tiny, composable, semi-automatic judgements about the world, and we have to keep on making these choices, over and over and over again as we think. And exercising, meditating, getting enough sleep, spending quality time with other humans, etc. - this stuff really will help us improve our semi-automatic judgements so that we are saying "this is good...this is good..." slightly more often than before.

While I was in grad school, I spent several weekends tinkering with my own implementation of a very simple HTM to process shapes in Go (the game). It never did much in the way of playing Go, and I stopped messing with it after something else more practical got in the way, but I'd love to dust off that code and now seems like a great time to get back into it.

The narration on the audiobook is very high quality, and, for me at least, the ideas were quite accessible through audio. I highly recommend it if you're the type of person who might purchase such a book in paper and never get around to reading it (but you have time to kill in the car).

BTW, did you mean "Rediscover the joy..." It says "Rediscovery the joy..."

But some of it is subjective, and I only saw the new design today. It might not hold up so well to heavy use.

[edit: there might be a lot more than fluid layout involved with the redesign, but that is the most striking aspect for me so far)

[edit: After further reflection, I'm stunned by how well they pulled this off. Huge leap forward.]

All Gruber is arguing is:

1) that there is a significant difference in security

2) that Apple didn't release any JIT for webkit all this time [edit: since 2008] because of security concerns

3) that Apple did not go out of its way to remove JIT from those instances of webkit that occurr outside of Mobile Safari

4) that perhaps Apple is simply rolling it out gradually

I don't see how any of this is ridiculous or could be called "bending over backwards" unless you are pre-loaded with a bias against Gruber.

There goes what little karma I earned since 2008.

I looked at their code for a bit, saw that it was hopelessly inefficient and hand-assembled a much faster version using a look-up table and a bit mask instead of a bunch of math to figure out where in memory to dump the data from the converter.

I feel exactly the same way as parent and grandparent when I read stories like this.

Is the following statement (from the article) false?

As for ruthless profiteering, consider that Amazon, with their e-book publishing, originally took the fat end of a 70-30 revenue split with authors.
