Last time I was in San Jose, I was surprised by how terrible the WiFi was at the hotel I stayed at. You could tell most of the guests were programmers, yet I could barely get 96k. And I specifically asked for a room close to the router. I guess maybe the boom in Silicon Valley means hotels can fill rooms without having competitive WiFi?
I've seen something similar: in middle school a classmate tied the rope around themselves to anchor the back of the line. He was pretty badly injured when the other team pulled him over and dragged him across the field, pulling the loop tight. I never thought about a rope snapping, though.
You might want to change the videos format to HTML5 or just download it because the flash player was giving me problems.
In the first part, Rich explains some of the features and design decisions in Clojure, and during the last few minutes he gives an overview of Datomic.
It's a pity that infographics are abused so often, because they're honestly not a terrible way to communicate interesting statistics. I mean, the fact that they're getting ordinary people to look at data and pass it along to friends is pretty impressive. They do have an accountability problem though. Someone should build a platform for making, sourcing, and commenting on them.
I don't have much to add that hasn't been said in the other comments here, but a currency with a "market capitalization" of $30 million can never be stable. A single wealthy person could easily move the market a significant percentage.
I want to thank you for this. I hadn't ever tried programming until I watched some videos for a Stanford Java course a year ago, and I've been working my ass off at it ever since. It turns out this is something I really enjoy and want to continue doing. I'll definitely be applying.
I'm confused as to what's being measured in OP's link vs. your links. Is the OP's link measuring number of searches and your trends link measuring the number of daily visitors?
Also, I know the reddit admins have mentioned a number of times that third-party statistics about their visitor count are wildly wrong.
