Coding from Scratch: A Conversation with Virtual Reality Pioneer Jaron Lanier, Part One

by karlcow & 1 other

answer Right. And it results in a type of error that doesn't teach you anything. You have chaotic errors where all you can say is, "Boy, this was really screwed up, and I guess I need to go in and go through the whole thing and fix it." You don't have errors that are proportionate to the source of the error. And that means you can never have any sense of gradual evolution or approximate systems. So, the real difference between the current idea of software, which is protocol adherence, and the idea I'm discussing, pattern recognition, has to do with the kinds of errors we're creating. We need a system in which errors are more often proportional to the source of the error.

Font or Typeface?

by marco
The way I relate the difference between typeface and font to my students is by comparing them to songs and MP3s, respectively (or songs and CDs, if you prefer a physical metaphor).

Google Answers: Verify quote from Hermann Goering - Nuremburg Trials

by ericpaul (via)
Here is the complete quote, with a comment by Gilbert that occurred midway through it: "Nazi leader Hermann Goering, interviewed by Gustave Gilbert during the Easter recess of the Nuremberg trials, 1946 April 18, quoted in Gilbert's book 'Nuremberg Diary.' Goering: Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Gilbert: There is one difference. In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars. Goering: Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

Build Wikipedia query forms with semantic technology

by karlcow

By providing open access to increasing amounts of Linked Data, public SPARQL endpoints are boosting the growth of the Semantic Web by providing great data for you to use in your applications. As with many other data-driven Web sites out there, a Web page can be created by sending a query to these endpoints and then wrapping the results in HTML tags; the big difference for SPARQL endpoints is the public availability of this new data for your applications. This article shows how simple CGI scripting can get data from two different SPARQL endpoints to build applications that answer your user's questions about actors shared between two directors and which musicians have released which albums.

moominstuff: Polaroid 110A covertomation. Convertomizing. Okay, just conversion.

by karlcow

I chose to use a 110A because I got a good deal on eBay. 110Bs are the most popular just because they have a couple minor improvements over the 110A. Some people convert the 'lesser' models as well. Here is my 150 next to my 110A. See the obvious difference in the lens quality.

Installing APC in Windows - MoodleDocs

by holyver (via)
APC (Alternative PHP Cache) is a PHP opcode cache. It stores PHP pages in RAM and reduces hard disk activity. This makes a real difference to the performance in Moodle, and you should be able to achieve a 50% increase in system capacity and your CPU will be 50% less busy. This guide is for installation of APC on a Windows server. The instructions have been tested on a Windows 2003 server, and they should also be applicable if you are using Windows XP as a test server.

OneSwarm: Privacy preserving P2P

by gregg & 3 others
OneSwarm is an interesting new software technology coming from University of Washington. It’s a whole new peer-to-peer technology (like bittorrent) with the big difference that it’s completely anonymous. It will be interesting to follow the development of this new piece of software, but the usage of it will probably explode within the next year or so. The client is available for Mac OS X, XP, Vista and Linux - and the source code is open.

jquery.scrollable 1.0.1 - Make your HTML elements move

by Tiagut & 4 others
The purpose of this tool is to provide generic scrolling capability to your pages. Anytime you want to scroll your HTML elements in a visually appealing way you should use this tool. The difference between "normal" scrolling is that you don't have browser's default scrollbars available and you can perform scrolling in more sophisticated ways like on the above example. The main goals are visual customization and programmability. Here are some example cases where you will definitely benefit on using this tool

Decisions vs. Choices

The difference between choices and decisions is subtle , some of it has to do with the quality of your ingredients and some of it has to do with compromise at the wrong stage of development. Is the process all that matters? A process that is used to constantly create new possible options and choose from those instead of making Frankenstein out of the options given? The design process will constantly emphasize the goal in the iteration of options leading to a choice. I don’t think that definition clear, but it’s the best we came up with.

click opera - Song of the fields

by karlcow

If the Guardian's Apocalypse Survival Guide models a return to the land on a dystopian Hobbesian-Hollywood model of selfishness and violence, Hatake No Uta goes completely the other way. Here, survival in the countryside is a matter of semi-religious respect for nature, love of food, poetry, gentleness, wholesomeness, teamwork, beautiful scenery, simple, heart-warming people, something utopian. Now, sure, I wouldn't know country life if it bit me on the nose. But I do recognise cultural difference when I see it.

et surtout

I welcome there being cultural differences in the ways we respond to the current crisis, because differences mean choices.

Workshop Lahti 2009 » FINAL DAY: And yet… it works!

by karlcow

I find this extremely fascinating. In a way, the Japanese are looking at these products like pieces of abstract art. On the other hand, if you understand English and especially it’s cultural connotations, there is a good chance that these will look funny to you. In today’s visually over-saturated world, various brands compete in trying to produce striking graphics to influence the consumers. But free trade and competition in today’s global economy has made many of the products essentially the same in content. So in some cases, the only difference with those products is the packaging, or the form.
