Mark, who noded out the UK National ID Card consultation on a blog for trackback, commentary and markup, is trying to do the same with other important government documents, like the Butler report and the 911 report. This is a great idea, the natural extension of the good work done by Cryptome in hosting other important documents. He's calling for volunteers to help with the conversion: looks like a rewarding project to contribute to. Link

Although the total number of miles driven and prices paid for gasoline during your trip may vary from the estimates provided, the AAA Fuel Cost Calculator is intended to help you determine the cost of fuel needed to complete a vacation drive.

Efficient CSS

Efficient CSS 09/02/2004 05:33 PM

Here's a nice article on writing more efficient CSS using shorthand properties, and reducing the number of duplicated style rules.

One of the touted benefits of CSS is that it reduces total page weight, and thus download time, both at first page load, and even more on subsequent loads due to style sheet caching. This is true, but often a sizable fraction of the first load savings is lost because of highly redundant CSS code.

The author lists the smaller stylesheet as the (marginal) benefit of taking the extra time to write efficient stylesheets, but in my experience, the bigger benefit is making things easier to change. If you want to change your site's color scheme, it's easier if the color rules are in as few places as possible.

Efficient Market Hypothesis for Dating?

Efficient Market Hypothesis for Dating? 04/17/2005 03:36 PM

A friend trained in economics, let's call her "Polly", was over to the house for dinner last night.  She asked if we knew anyone for a twentysomething friend of hers, let's call him "Bunbury", who worked a demanding software management job at a big software company.  He was a "really nice guy" and she was perplexed that he couldn't find someone.  If someone at the table had said "there is a company traded on the NYSE that is really undervalued" she would have immediately hammered him with an explanation of the Efficient Market Hypothesis:

"An 'efficient' market is defined as a market where there are large numbers of rational, profit-maximizers actively competing, with each trying to predict future market values of individual securities, and where important current information is almost freely available to all participants. In an efficient market, competition among the many intelligent participants leads to a situation where, at any point in time, actual prices of individual securities already reflect the effects of information based both on events that have already occurred and on events which, as of now, the market expects to take place in the future. In other words, in an efficient market at any point in time the actual price of a security will be a good estimate of its intrinsic value."

(see http ://www.princeton.edu/~ceps/workingpapers/91malkiel.pdf and http://www.investorhome.com /emh.htm).  Why then was Polly convinced that her friend was such a catch?  Applied to romance, the Efficient Market Hypothesis says that if the guy were actually worth dating one of the millions of women who live within a 30-mile radius of his house would have figured it out.

It occurred to me that all of the really nice mature easygoing people that I know are married.If one looks carefully at a single person it is usually not hard to find an explanation for why they are not happily paired.  One might be able to find an exception in an isolated fishing community in Alaska but in a major metro area within the Lower 48 it seems improbable.

What about Bunbury?  Polly says that he is smart but presumably all of his intelligence and cleverness is expended at his 80-hour/week job, which in any case is best described as "sits at a desk and types at a computer".  What's left over for a potential partner is part of a paycheck.  If she wants to marry a paycheck, there are plenty of medical doctors and Wall Street guys who make a lot more than Bunbury.

Efficient Techniques for Modifying Large
XML Files 04/22/2004 01:20 AM
As XML has become popular as a representation format for large sources of information, developers have begun to have problems with editing large XML files. This is especially true for applications that process large log files and need to constantly append information to these files. The most straightforward way to edit an XML file is to load it into an XmlDocument, modify the document in memory and then save it back to disk. However, doing so means that the entire XML document has to be loaded in memory, which may be infeasible depending on the size of the document and the memory requirements of the application.

Ten Efficient Research Strategies for Distance Learning by Thomas C. Wright and Scott L. Howell, PhD
h ttp://www.westga.edu/%7Edistance/ojdla/spring71/wright71.htm

Abstract by Authors:
Today's distance education administrator, frequently with an expertise in another academic discipline, is also supposed to be a distance education scholar. This expectation results from the recent interest in distance learning that nearly all institutions of learning and disciplines of study have shown. More research, studies, journals, and essays about distance education also exist than at any other time. A distance education administrator and an education research librarian at Brigham Young University have teamed up to identify ten pragmatic research strategies to help new, busy, and even a few experienced distance education administrators stay current in their field and successful in their applied research. All distance education research strategies identified were required to pass a distance administrator test for pragmatism, user-friendliness, and efficiency. The ten research strategies that will be covered are accessing library expertise, books from your or others' library catalogs, academic journals, databases, current awareness services, subscription services, distance education Web portals, associations, listserv/discussions, and use of research assistants. This will be added to Education and Distance Learning Resources 2004 Internet MiniGuide.
