See my other comment on this post for an example of this (encoding data using Markov chains)


Steganography is always interesting for data storage. It is pretty easy to hide data into pretty much any medium.

See http://jthuraisamy.github.io/markovTextStego.js/ and https://github.com/hmoraldo/markovTextStego


Combining steganography with Reddit could be interesting. Random (mildly interesting) photos pushed to imgur and posted to /r/pics by the same user every time.


Perhaps the successful entrepreneurs share another interesting trait. This trait is detected by good mentors, which leads to a correlation between entrepreneurs being successful and having good mentors.


Interestingly, Seinfeld denied having invented this technique: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1ujvrg/jerry_seinfeld_...


Are the color pictures over exposed? I have seen the Milky Way lots of times (and quite clearly), but it always looked more like an almost gray cloud... I've never seen the kind of bright colors that are usually shown on pictures.


These pictures usually get taken at 15-30 secs with a very fast lens (f2.8) and an ISO of 1600-6400. You need a pretty dark sky or a lot of post processing. Within 50-100 miles of the background is just brown.

If you have a camera with manual control, give it a try. You need a wide angle lens, otherwise you'll get star trails quickly.


You're probably using the rods in your eyes at night to look at the Milky Way and they can't see color.


Any sources about this? I hadn't heard about this before.


Bitshares does this: http://bitshares.org/

Their BITUSD has been tracking fairly well: http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/pair/bitusd/usd/bter/1-mont...


Thanks


The simplest Hello World in Wolfram Language is just:

"Hello World"

or even:

Hello World

which are both quines. The only reason you need to know about Style and GeoGraphics is for making a prettier, but still small, Hello World example.


Sure, but to print ASCII text on the screen one could use any language. What were discussing here is why one might want to choose WL instead of other languages.


How is that different? There is a lot of "serious / adult" literature that includes wizards, demons, and dragons, and that is not a recent development. (Or in older times, ghosts, spirits, and monsters in general).


Last time I checked this was the main thing that was missing for Go (a complete, multi platform GUI lib). Has there anything like this arisen yet? Some quick googling points to Gothic, which sounds promising.


I don't believe Go intends to be used for Desktop applications. I believe that's more Rust's goal.

Go I suspect is intended for more service related stuff, backend, server, processing, etc.

Though I'm not 100% sure about this.


Rusts goal isn't desktop applications, its goal for better or worse is to attempt to supplant C++.


Im working in a weird "application platform"(looks more like a crazy userspace OS) right now and as a step 2, im planning to bind to the chrome compositor in the low level.. and build a ui framework in Go from there.. but the phase 1 is really the most important, and i think i will pre-launch before the UI kit..

The good side of it, is that you can also bind a web rendering engine totally coded in Go or bind the webkit rendering to the compositor backend..

I hope i get there soon..


This looked promising the last time I looked at it: https://github.com/andlabs/ui


Interesting, thanks
