I swear I have to start coding with a thesaurus. I mean even basic variable names are sometimes hard to find words for. Say I define a list i aggregate output into which is returned at the end of the function. Do I call it output, output_li

Hmm, I guess there's a point there, since it only has 0.1 mm accuracy. I think it'd still look cool with satellite imagery though.

Well, the OS I'm running is Ubuntu, and Kylin is "Ubuntu for China", with fcitx set up for Chinese already, and a separate Software Center that has a delightful page that shows Linux alternatives for Windows software. Haven&#

Yeah, haven't bothered checking any of them out tbh, don't really see the draw of it. I do have a friend who was trying to get a spot in one of them, but the materials he showed me seemed pretty sterile. Can't fault them for

From what I've heard the more mature startups with interesting end up moving to Shangdi for cheaper office space. That kinda leaves the has-beens and never-will-be's behind, but I guess that's to be expected. Even the founder

I've been proselytizing linux over here. Ubuntu Kylin is pretty cool to set up for people, but the wifi cards on a lot of laptops don't take too well to it.

It's cool to see Cheku mentioned on here, they just celebrated their 5 year anniversary a month or so ago. Does seem like a lot of the cooler projects have left for greener pastures though, and the people that are left, ah well.

Basic calculus doesn't seem that hard though. You understand asymptotes, right? When something gets closer to a certain value, but doesn't quite touch it, like 1/x with 0. That leads quite naturally to limits, where you say &

Legitimate question, outside of WebRTC, plugins which are icky, and Flash which I hope dies a fiery death in a chlorine triflouride fire, is there any other options for doing browser based audio and video chat? It'd be cool to know of
