Reply to We created a website where web devs can create layouts in many styles at once (...and in result create more beautiful websites) by dym3k

this is a very impressive tool

but also I hate websites like this tool produces.

* warning * big IMHO incoming * warning *

I don't like modern web designers. They seem to be allergic to putting useful information on the screen. Stop putting giant fluff pictures in between everything, use normal sized text, and NEVER fuck with my scroll bar. heads up their asses, I swear to god.

Reply to I'm Ananyo Bhattacharya, author of 'The Man from the Future', about Hungarian-American mathematical genius John von Neumann. AMA! by simplicissimusrex

JvN is such an interesting person. My favorite anecdote about him is this one:

> “von Neumann would carry on a conversation with my 3-year-old son, and the two of them would talk as equals, and I sometimes wondered if he used the same principle when he talked to the rest of us.” -- Edward Teller

This is particularly impressive when you consider that the "rest of us" were the scientists of the Manhattan Project, in other words the greatest collection of genius in one place the world has ever seen.

John seemed special because he was not only one of the greatest intellects in history, but also personable, well adjusted, and the life of the party. His genius didn't come at the cost of social skills. Do you think he was unique in that way?
