http://i.imgur.com/PnmDT5z.png I have had some time off this week so decided to work on something a bit different. I have been working on a concept fuzzing framework for security t…

I've played with a variety of frameworks (Storm and IBM Infosphere Streams are probably the two I have worked with the most) - In my previous job I was in a team which designed and…

Awesome idea. This week as been all about getting a second version stamped and out (nowhere near a finished version or even 1.0, but a 0.2 version) I've been working on https://gho…

I posted this on the last thread, but I am definitely still looking for volunteers. I'm actually currently starting to look for a co-contributor or two, there is so much that I wan…

There is a great episode of Black Mirror (All episodes of Black Mirror are great, but this one is more relevant - Season 1 Episode 3) titled The Entire History of Us, it turns the …

I'm actually currently starting to look for a co-contributor or two, there is so much that I want to get done, and having an extra set of eyes and hands would be great. I am workin…

I was bored so I found the public key and your blog and sent you an email :) So that Zero can be a One now. By the way, the public key on your blog is not very copy and paste frien…

Here is the thing, I don't mind ads - but I do mind pages loading 10+ files of javascript when I am attempting to read an article. I browse with noscript enabled, and for the most …

I have tried neither of those two...I have heard good things both though, maybe I will make the time to give the a try. A Javascript IDE would be great, I remember working on some …

The IDE is a big pain point of mine. On my side projects I tend to use Vim for C++ which works fairly well after heavy customization with plugins. At work I have tried to adopt Vim…

I'm currently building ghostream ( https://github.com/ghostream/ghostream ) - it is a data stream processing framework. Having used numerous commercial ones (most notably IBM's Str…

Twitters streaming API used to work fairly well when I was playing with it. https://dev.twitter.com/docs/streaming-apis that was a few years ago though.

Probably not what you are looking for, but I would love to see more real-time data curation - I would certainly be willing to hand over cash for some decently priced real time data…

I read GEB during my final year of university, during winter break. It took about 3 weeks of solid reading (wake up, read, pause and think and clear my mind, do other stuff, go bac…

I really wish people wouldn't give this as much weight has it gets, there are so many problems with the methodology: 1. The raw data (answers, in particular the free response text)…

Honestly, part of it is motivation. I keep getting distracted with other things. I expected it to go the 80-20 way, the initial ideas are not new ones, I have been building similar…

An open source stream processing framework ( https://ghostream.com ) - it isn't really ready for the limelight yet, but you can find the code base on github ( https://github.com/gh…

Check out this veritasium video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMByI4s-D-Y - It goes into a little detail on how the kilogram got it's name, it is also very interesting in it's ow…

I pulled the example from the air to make a point, but you are correct, the last 20% is 80% of the work... See the comment by aaron695 who made a very good point about feedback. I …

A very good point that I did not consider, I remember getting very good feedback from my teachers - It would appear I underestimated the size of the problem.

The complaints I hear centre around grading, lesson planning and of course bureaucracy. Now, I believe that the education system of the majority of the world is fundamentally broke…

As mentioned by vitovito your problem is most likely effective communication. Take this post for example, there is very little structure, the main points are clouded by seques that…

Not a mailing list as such but there is a nice GameDev subreddit which is fairly active: http://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev There is also the GameDev stack exchange: http://gamedev.st…

This is quite a common teleological argument known as the Watchmake Analogy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchmaker_analogy Instead of going over the common ground, I wish to pr…
