The problem with deflation is that, if you're trying to control the money supply, and your control is based on printing money, and you have deflation, you lose control. The figurative "pushing on a string," you have nothing l

It's calories in, calories out, only if you stick to specific foods. It's well proven that raw foods, despite being slightly higher calorie content than their cooked version, contribute significantly less calories because FAR less

Simple/refined carbs = sugar. Too much sugar in too short a time = insulin is generated to convert the sugar to fat. This time frame is about 30 min, so, unless you are exercising while eating, almost all simple carbs and sugars will e

Exponential feedback is a bitch! When I put together plans and estimates, I always take a lot of care to separate out those things which are linear and those things which exponentially impact other things within the schedule, along with the

It's not JavaScript, it's UnityScript. Basically since everything that's not compiled to native code is run through Mono. By default Unity provides support for UnityScript, C#, and Boo. However, since it's just IL all th

There are a lot of places that cannot or will not, and might never support, BYOD. In those areas, and many other corporate enterprise areas, Apple is on is already on its way out, specifically because they never really integrated or put any

The first part (filtering/searching/expansion) is pretty similar to emacs's helm/anything.

Looks promising but how is multi monitor support? And how easy would it be to detect whether I am on my 1 screen laptop or 3 screen desktop, and use different setups accordingly?

Compared to the past 30 years of 'package management', which basically amounted to hand copying and managing tons of files from all kinds of different sources, with all kinds of different version numbers, MELPA and package.el are

If you're a programmer and you can't even bother to download some files and unzip them, then... Lazy pays off because you innovate in the hopes of automating something, not that you just are actually completely lazy.

Depends on what you're looking for. The issue isn't really "importing" the code references as much as it is a scoping issue. That is, imports are largely used to define scope for the file and mostly for the programmers b

I'm interesting in this too. My guess is you'd really need good, light, haptic gloves to make this work... certainly you will need the same sort of precision and physical feedback you have now with a physical keyboard, even if you

Hrm. That's interesting, I've never thought about the focal point issue before. Do you know of anyone working on this problem or any general status on this in "the field"?

Still amazed to this day that animated gifs are everywhere. Remember the GIF patent war of 1992-1994? Man... CompuServe ftw?

Pretty much. About 5 years ago I brought my work laptop on vacation where there was only a phone line. No sweat, my laptop still had a 56k modem, and I started on a 1200 baud modem back in the day, so I was willing to be patient, or so I th
