Surprise

When characterising the normal operation of a system (say, network security), I keep getting reminded that simple statistics can go a very long way:

Okay, Wolfram|Alpha, I think you've hooked me

I asked about the velocity of an unladen swallow, and it couldn't give an answer for the African case. But in the European case, untold riches.
 
Nice.

Programming as Design « Stream Hacker

Some say programming is engineering, others call it an art. A few might (mistakenly) think it’s a science. But both the art and engineering can be encapsulated under the umbrella of design. The best design is functional art, and a huge part of the artistic beauty of a product is a result of carefully engineered functionality. Products that are not carefully designed and engineered generally suck to use, and that applies to everything from cameras to software APIs.

Found in a Reddit thread on plamere's post on 4chan

I think I've got it: Reddit and 4chan are like America and France.

America loves France and France loves America, but at the same time Americans hate the French and the French hate Americans.
