PUBLIC MARKS with search basis

You can set your preferences for who can add you to photos and who can add people to photos you’ve shared. You can even determine on a photo-by-photo basis if you’d like to be featured — after all, everyone has a bad hair day now and then. If you do remove yourself from a photo, only you will be able to add yourself back in. If you decide that People in Photos isn’t your thing, you can remove yourself entirely.

It occurred to me that Wikipedia could be the basis of an all-purpose machine tag format to describe just about anything in the universe. Wikipedia aspires to have topics on everything, so creating tags associated with Wikipedia topics could be a foolproof way to disambiguate content.

Comparing Python and Java

A programmer can be significantly more productive in Python than in Java.

How much more productive? The most widely accepted estimate is 5-10 times. On the basis of my own personal experience with the two languages, I agree with this estimate.

Founded in 1999, the Rhizome ArtBase is an online archive of new media art containing some 2503 art works, and growing. The ArtBase encompasses a vast range of projects by artists all over the world that employ materials such as software, code, websites, moving images, games and browsers to aesthetic and critical ends. We welcome submissions to the ArtBase; they are reviewed by our curatorial staff on a monthly basis.

Lines, Joined & Otherwise are the little cartoons I draw on a not altogether regular basis. Click on the thumbnails below to view the full cartoons.

What makes Bintro special is its use of advanced semantic technology for the purpose of matchmaking. There are no multiple choice questions. There are no numbered scales. All you need to do is describe yourself and your needs and Bintro will take care of the rest. All the words and phrases you use are analyzed to an extremely high level on the basis of similarity and usage. This process is completed within seconds and matches are presented to you as they become available. After this, Bintro will continue to find more matches for you every minute of every day.

On a daily basis I get questions about API monetization models.

people rarely held on to money in the form of cash for any length of time, for the most part due to lack of access to banks and/or the high cost of maintaining an account proportionate to their incomes. Cash was rapidly converted to goods based on priorities and these 'goods' acted as insurance (silver), savings (buying building materials on a piecemeal basis as cashflow allowed until the house could be built), a cushion aka insurance (selling a pig for an emergency or eaten for food) and finally investment (milk bearing cow, young piglets to rear to maturity, etc).

The link between the urban plan and the body is not obvious on a daily basis but becomes more apparent over time trough the routine. The daily rhythm allows to connect the physical experience with the memory of the activity.

After some very successful tests through 2008 the Norwegian state broadcaster has decided to set up their own BitTorrent tracker and start offering content through this form of distribution on a more regular basis.

To hack an app so that when it's active, the menubar and dock are hidden, you need to find its info.plist file. Control-click on the program in question, choose Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu, and then navigate into the Contents folder.

Once there, add the following to the file:

<key>LSUIPresentationMode</key>

<integer>4</integer>

I know the argument: demand is so high, we don't have another choice. I reject this argument on the basis that most good programmers spend the majority of their time fixing problems created by terrible programmers.

ouch! Learned was is NNPP thus

Of course, this is causing some people to ask whether it was a good idea; all other things being equal, it’s better to maintain compatibility than to break it, and if the break doesn’t seem to offer anything really major or impressive over the previous compatible version, then it’s natural to ask what, exactly, made this necessary. Jens Afke has rather notably posted some thoughts along those lines, and this post is an attempt to respond and explain, as clearly as I can, why I think Python 3.0 is and will be a good thing even though it’ll create a staggering amount of work for me, my co-workers and my friends and colleagues (since I deal with two large Python 2.x codebases on a daily basis, the migration is not going to be simple or short for me).

Corb uses existing industrial infrastructure- shipping containers and stackers- as the basis for a new form of housing
