"I don't know the numbers": a math puzzle
I saw a math puzzle the other day on Hacker News. It reads as follows:
Two numbers are chosen randomly, both are positive integers smaller than 100. Sandy is told the sum of the numbers, while Peter is told the product of the numbers.
Then, this dialog occurs between Sandy and Peter:
Peter: I don’t know the numbers. Sandy: I don’t know the numbers. Peter: I don’t know the numbers.

The Year in Design - Zeldman on Web and Interaction Design
Mobile is today’s first screen. So design responsively, focusing on content and structure first. Websites and apps alike should remove distractions and let people interact as directly as possible with content. 90 percent of design is typography. And the other 90 percent is whitespace. Boost usability and increase pleasure with progressive disclosure: menus & functions that appear only when needed.

The Dependency Injection Paradigm
Paradigm; a nice word that means “a theory or a group of ideas about how something should be done, made, or thought about” (Merriam-Webster). In software development we have them too. From the philosophy and history of science courses I’ve followed, I remember that scientists working with different paradigms have great difficulty understanding each other, and appreciating each other’s work.
Paradigm Shifts An example of a paradigm is the theory that the sun revolves around the earth. To a certain extent this is a fruitful theory, and it has been used for thousands of years. There’s of course another paradigm: the theory that the earth revolves around the sun. This is also a fruitful theory, and it can be used to explain a lot of observations, more than the previous theory. Still, people got angry with each other for moving the earth out of the center of the universe. Paradigm changes, or shifts, occur when the old theory has been stretched too much. It becomes impossible to hold on to it. Then some people start to experiment with a completely different paradigm, one that sounds totally weird, but in the end proves to have more power.
