Prononcez à brûle-pourpoint la proposition : l'art est difficile, au moment où vous passez devant un miroir. D'abord vous hocherez la tête, ensuite vous rirez. C'était fatal. Il y a dans les phrases qui présentent un vice de construction je ne sais quel élément qui agit sur la rate humaine, car pour la rate des chiens il ne semble pas qu'elle ait le sens de l'humour verbal. Dire que l'art est difficile, suppose chez l'auteur de la phrase l'ignorance totale des mots dont il se sert. Qu'est-ce qui est difficile ? Un chemin, un client, un problème. Puis-je m'exprimer ainsi : le ciel est difficile... ? Oui, si je consens à mettre une majuscule au firmament, ce qui est un moyen de le personnaliser. Car difficile est une épithète qui ne peut se joindre qu'au défini. C'est pourquoi l'art n'est pas difficile. Il n'est pas facile non plus. Louis Aragon, Traité du style (1927) 

There are some things that the benchmark can't measure. Opera for instance has a very steady timing and never misses a frame. On my machine however, the benchmark still looks choppy - probably because the benchmark's timer isn't synchronized with the refresh rate of the display. Opera essentially renders frames that it never displays. The new requestAnimationFrame() could fix this, but it hasn't arrived in all browsers yet.

“Our culture is afflicted with knowingness,” he says. “We exalt in being able to know as much as possible. And that’s great on many levels. But we’re forgetting the pleasures of not knowing. I’m no Luddite, but we’ve started replacing actual experience with someone else’s already digested knowledge.”

Suppose a pipeline delivers an endless sequence of nonnegative integers at a steady rate of one number every t time units. We want to build a device—call it a stream gauge—that intercepts the stream and displays answers to certain questions about the numbers.

Last year, 45 percent of those ages 15 to 24 in the work force held irregular jobs, up from 17.2 percent in 1988 and as much as twice the rate among workers in older age groups, who cling tenaciously to the old ways.

because the window stickers that come with them feature near field communications (NFC) built right in that includes information about the business on its Places pages (and we’re guessing will allow users to do things such as rate the venue as well).

Both glides were filmed by sticking a – relatively cheap – digital camera out of the window of a train as it arrived at a station. The ‘trick’ is the camera collects images at a rate of 210 per second – but the film is played back at 30 frames per second. So, every seven seconds of footage that you watch corresponds to 1 real second.

The average monthly cost of mobile traffic with Opera Mini is $15.72 instead of $157.20. Opera Mini saves you $141!* * Doesn’t apply for unlimited rate contracts.

The rules (like any communities) have strengthened and are more rigid than what they were in the past. It is basically more and more painful to create content for Wikipedia. As an occasional editor, I'm less and less inclined to make the effort to contribute because the article might go quickly under "Articles for Deletion" hammer.

Interesting thing to look at:

1. Timeline of Articles for Deletion (raw number and % of how many new articles)

2. Deletion compared to new contributors (stable, going down, going up)

3. Timeline should also plot the milestones of new editing rules.

4. The rate of new articles creation compared to the number of contributors.

These could drive to new processes, maybe there is a need for a better drafting tool that will help an article to reach a stage of maturity to be part of Wikipedia, and this will create another set of behaviours ;) Not a closed system.
