Wait... From Mayan's website: > Mayan EDMS uses Python, known for it's super speed and low hardware requirements. Python is faster than Java? I'll give you "lightweight", but... what? Kudos on running it on the Pi, but I suspect onc

While the Breaking Bad logo is awesome, I have to say their Codecast-ing feature is what makes it pretty cool. Is there anything else out there like this / has this feature?

I'm a big fan of System76's laptops: https://www.system76.com/ -- they're well priced for the power they pack, and I've never had a hardware problem. Plus they come pre-configured with the appropriate drivers for their webcams, fingerpri

Partisan politics like this have no place here; that's clearly what this article is (as the second paragraph explains the main thrust here is that "nerdy liberals all over the country" are having a laugh at this). At any rate, although the

Yes -- it's a long process, and there are other contract vehicles that agencies do procurement under... so getting your GSA (even with the help of a company that does this for you): a) takes a long time, b) isn't a guarantee that you'll act

Agreed. Oracle and Google fighting it out doesn't really tug at your heartstrings -- but this is just sad. It puts a human face on the effects of patent hoarding / trolling.

I think that depends entirely on the type of start-up. If you're selling into organizations with long sales cycles (government, big companies, etc) then you'd probably be more heavy on the bizdev side, since selling in that environment is

What's wrong with the Moog?! It takes me right back to the early 80s. Seriously, though, at least they had a concept in mind for that one (making it look / work like the real thing) instead of most of these atrocities. I feel like there w

K is an interesting little language; it is used pretty heavily in some circles on Wall Street. Most use k in the context of kdb, an in-memory vector-/column-oriented database. Arthur has designed several similar languages, and from what I
