- i had a hilarious argument with the significant other when my messages appeared a very lame response to messages i didn't receive.
i think the mental model should be what is most useful in court. if a netsplit occurs the state of the room doesn't exist anymore, conversation can continue but it should be a different room populated with working available clients. The main room can be restored and the missed convo can be a 3rd room
- just make jokes? what did the weather do to you?
- minimal effort can be fun. you cam always think of people as specialized tools with needs. if you get a good idea about both and refresh it periodically you are done. If you document enough you will be able to satisfy some needs, sometimes with very little effort. They will remember they owe you and love to elaborate about what else they need. Listen and move on. fill up the rolodex
- wouldn't the scarcity increase the value? Why would we want people to study things we don't need and not study things in high demand? I wonder what the real cost is. My school does about 80:1 in diplomas:jobs every year. I got the job :) no one else did but they didn't do anything wrong. They just wasted years and money both their own and public funds.
- The native slider is hideous as f and further offends me by being called a range. Why are stupid simple things missing like display the value? We could even have a same name number input that displays the set value or an <input for=""
html forms in general got very little love. They should be taken to the drawing board along with sql and get some relation therapist to blame the earlier for the endless fighting. over the years of growing up together json made an effort to make the marriage work but html forms are very stubborn and unreasonable.
Things actually got worse when pressing the back button erased the fields. What we wanted was a way to put the same form with the same values back on the page after failed validation. I have backends where that stuff takes up 60% of the code. imagine <form src="foobar.json"/> with a nice widget displaying the key value pairs, with outlines for nested fieldsets?
anyway, thanks for the nice dual slider. my own experiments didn't result in something nice enough that i would dare use.
I would like to see a contest with cash prizes for designing better html forms with backwards compatibility. Winning entries should be put in the spec. Im sure we would pay plenty if it would ease the suffering. :)
- i wonder, is that specialist suppose to not make money their entire career? I think actually good education would allow them to do all kinds of things.
I do feel the raw idea is bad then added the survey to measure [????] say quality of life kind of things. If a school produces somewhat useful people who are really happy it seems to merit more funding. The economy may die if everyone has a good life
- didn't give it much thought but couldn't you eventually run schools and universities on a percentage of student income tax (and remove all other sources) combined with a periodic questionnaire (for life) how [?????] one thinks their education was.
probably a bad idea but it gets me to ponder long term measurements
- from what i understand beds are really expensive where with beds we mean nurses and with expensive we mean profitable.
- our architects love building the house before making the drawings. i imagine we will probably figure it out eventually when the feature set can be strictly defined.
(maybe you eventually want a bath tub and a toilet in each room? maybe not?)
- writing great documentation is extremely hard. sometimes it is so well done you only notice it in how fast and easy you progress. the funniest opposite was documentation i wrote myself but turned out to complicated for the future self. i kept thinking, what is this guy on about?? it assumed the reader knew all kinds of things i didn't and it made effort to explain the obvious.
- the fun of that study is that the pigeon behavior they think is to get food is superstition it self.
- If the goal is one thing there might be nice side effects but they are never the goal. The moment the goal can be accomplished better by getting rid of the nice things the nice things should be disposed of.
For a while we had people creating nice products that also happened to make very good money. Most things arguably start out trying to make something good.
Im getting a picture of a horse pulling a cart up hill. When at good height to keep moving you don't need the horse anymore?
- There is stuff you cant talk about everywhere. if it finds its way into the dataset something has to be done. The scope and what it is of course varies wildly.
- we've seen aircrafts drop out of the sky and also vanish
- don't word it like that! it should be a punishment that sufficiently discourages repetition
- I really eat a lot. When my gf cooked more and the potato meat ratio changed from 1:3 to 3:1 I immediately started to grow fat. I had her adjust it to 1:1 and started eating lots of sausages and chicken legs between meals. 500g to a kg per day worth of extra food. My body fat declined rapidly.
- some fun study sort of concluded that the ratio carbs vs fat and protine is the entire mechanic. fat people who eat almost nothing eat only carbs thin people who can eat huge amounts every day eat a lot of fat and protein. Both eat other things just not as much.
- only one type :p
- Robbert space industries.
People paid for something that took forever to materialize but were somehow excited to be part of the process.
Innovation right there!
- From what I understand, it was possible to build fantastic steam engines only after the patents expired. Before everyone was sitting on pats of it unwilling to cooperate like stubborn children.
- insert ads in the json
- It is one of the few things for which i could see the use of a new web document type.
- We deserve this treatment. Their entire personality on the international stage was created by the west.
It could of course be that they would be much worse without us but that didn't happen.
- their papers are much more likely to find real world application too
- it doesn't sound like it but it is it.
The talking point is always focused on rewarding those who did the work but that I have to pay to enforce the scheme and the cost of going without if we don't get permission is also not important at all.
Funny as hell to pay so that it can be assured I don't get to use something.
I think we should find ways to at least judge some technology valuable enough to buy it into the public domain at sensible but non-negotiable rates.
- they greatly simplified the search by preferring very crappy matches on large websites over exact matches on small sites. They also love it when people return to the search results. Crappy results are more profitable.
Shutting down technorati wasn't an accident. They made blogging uninteresting on purpose.
- yes, i almost forgot that part. I created splogs to promote businesses. I duplicated the comment spam from other splogs then the spammers could easily find the splog and "update" the page many times per day.
My normal blogs only got traffic from comments made on other blogs. Yahoo indexed them entirely, google picked up nothing.
If I put adsense on it the crawler visited every day but only to find context for the ads.
it reminds me of a mysterious building no one knew the origin or purpose of. someone filled a form for poor cleaning then the message bounced around between a dozen cleaning companies who didn't have a contact for it. after decades a cleaning company filled a form because it didn't have a number and wasn't on the drawings.
