I was featured in Peadar Coyle's interview series interviewing various “data scientists” – which is kind of arguable since (a) all the other ppl in that series are much cooler than me (b) I'm not really a data scientist.

Saw this link on Hacker News the other day: The Highway Lane Next to Yours Isn’t Really Moving Any Faster The article describes a phenomenon unique to traffic where cars spread out when they go fast and get more compact when they go slow.

Let's build a VORON: Printing & Tuning

from Jonas Hietala [alt+shift+b] in technology

a year ago
It’s up and running, and now it’s finally printing time! Less exciting—but necessary—tuning the printer to make the prints better. Filament shipment Even though I’ve been building the printer for more than a month, I wasn’t ready for it being time for printing so soon. I don’t...

Actual Customer Support Is Remarkable

from Good Enough [alt+shift+b] in technology

What a sad thing to write. We believe in good software around here. There is a lot of poorly built software on the Internet and in the app stores. Our motivation with Good Enough is to try to put together a few products that feel just right to the folks using them. The things we...

Subway waiting math

from Home on Erik Bernhardsson [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
Why does it suck to wait for things? In a previous post I analyzed a NYC subway dataset and found that at some point, quite early, it's worth just giving up. This isn't a proof that the subway doesn't run on time – in fact it might actually proves that the subway runs really...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
