Along with hovercars, hoverboards, and robot slaves, video-chatting is one of the four harbingers of the Future, as foretold in basically every sci-fi book or movie ever made. So far it’s the only one we’ve figured out, and, honestly, it’s kind of a bust.
No one wants to sit there politely staring at their grandma’s furrowed brow while she spends 20 minutes pecking out “Are yo waering the sweter i sdent?” when they could be watching porn and smoking a bong at the same time. That’s the whole reason we came up with “chatting” in the first place. The only thing those little webcams are good for is cybering. Seeing boobs. Badgering girls for hours and hours until they take their shirts off. We asked our photo editor Patrick O’Dell to get some of his lady friends to try on some lingerie for his vid-cam in the name of “fashion.” (But it was all about tits.)
→ Translation Party: Tapping Into Google Translate’s Untold Creative Genius - TechCrunch
The site is incredibly simple: you enter any English phrase you can think of, and it uses Google’s automated translator to convert it into Japanese. And then it translates it back into English. And back into Japanese. At each step along the way, the words you began with gradually take shape to form something entirely different and (hopefully) awesome. The retranslations continue until you reach what the site calls ‘equilibrium’, when the English and Japanese words translate back and forth into exactly the same thing. Fortunately, it usually takes at least a few steps for your words to reach equilibrium, and the resulting sentences are often hilarious.
→ Meta Is Murder
Generally speaking, I am not a fan of the meta. It’s seductive in a way that is subtly but deeply dangerous. It’s far easier to introspect and write about the process of, say .. blogging .. than it is to think up, research, and write about an interesting new topic on your blog. Meta-work becomes a reflex, a habit, an addiction, and ultimately a replacement for real productive work. It’s something I think everyone should watch out for, whatever walk of life or career you happen to have. In fact, I’ve come up with a zingy little catch phrase to help people remind themselves, and their coworkers, how toxic this stuff can be — meta is murder.

→ Слово дня: “clusterfuck” (Urban Dictionary)
Military term for an operation in which multiple things have gone wrong. Related to “SNAFU” (Situation Normal, All Fucked Up") and “FUBAR” (Fucked Up Beyond All Repair).
In radio communication or polite conversation (i.e. with a very senior officer with whom you have no prior experience) the term “clusterfuck” will often be replaced by the NATO phonetic acronym “Charlie Foxtrot.”
→ Элементы: Парадигма модульного мышления
Сущность теории паттернов заключается в следующем. Ее основными элементами служат объекты под названием «образующие» (от англ. generators). Они формально описываются символьными математическими соотношениями и изображаются на бумаге наглядными схемами. Образующие служат математическими и наглядными моделями физических и логических объектов реального мира. У образующей есть неотделимые от нее связи (англ. bonds). Попарно соединяя связи, из образующих конструируют конфигурации теории паттернов, которые служат моделями реальных физических и логических систем, состоящих из взаимосвязанных объектов.
