on: A visual timer for the command line
Perhaps the terminal is the UI of local cross-platform apps (with the web as the UI of remote cross-platform apps). This Typescript app (with native executables) has multiple visual countdown timers rendering in the terminal. Maybe this is why xterm colors were created, so we can start building our own useful visual tools. Thanks for having a look, would be happy to see new rendererers submitted :)

You must have missed the 2008 part, the same year we elected a president who was against gay marriage.

Oh yeah, attacking the disbelievers for their blasphemy in the name of Science is a great idea.

Dang, I been tricked!
Seriously, though, it's not in our nature to take counsel from folks who act disrespectfully. The quip about a non-reading president and "brogrammers" fits that.

on: What's Actually Wrong with Yahoo's Purchase of Summly
From his own quoted post:
"I lived through 8 years of a non-reading president along with everyone else. I know that the brogrammers out there are constantly getting texts from their buddies to plan the weekend's broactivities..."
Thanks Professor, now I don't have to continue reading your post – ie, you're kind of a jerk.

I love these videos! You could almost teach a class on graph theory and AI with enough of them, and they look great!

Unless I increased my speaking rate to prevent the awkward situation of requiring the comma... or perhaps there never was a pause there (eg "eats shoots...")

I enjoyed reading David's post and only have one issue:
Oxford Comma? Seriously? That's ridiculous, unnecessary and unparsable.

Oh cmon, this is minutes from the rest of the Apple buildings in the area, they aren't moving to a suburban campus, they are consolidating their suburban campuses.

A ridiculous post - this campus is GREAT for Cupertino... but then Cupertino isn't really Urban America.
