A review with not much research is still a valid review - namely on what even somewhat technically savvy users aren't able to intuitively find out about Windows 8 usage. See also the inability to close metro/new-style/whatever apps. I didn'

Not really a concern? I don't agree. Look at large C++ projects, and let's not speak about GPU frameworks like CUDA, OpenCL and OpenACC. If it weren't be a concern, software companies wouldn't invest in clusters just for compilation.

60% out of 200 studies is not all that good, really. It allows the experts to believe that if they're still in the top 25%, no machine can beat them (I know that this is not exactly what the studies say, but statistics are almost always bei

People don't seem to realize how huge this is. This venture could easily turn out to be the most profitable in IBM's history, and one of the most important inventions in health care.

Maybe the one who decided it has an Apple device with 'retina' screen? I was reading it on an rMBP and the font struck me as very pleasant, hence I couldn't understand the fuss here first. Helvetica Neue Light is quite popular on these newe

[edit: sorry, I replied here, because it wouldn't let me reply to your other answer first and I thought it was because we've reached some kind of maximum depth] Thanks, I see. Ok, if it's just string or binary based it will work from a corr

oh, so TouchDB maps to sqlite? Does that work generally? Let's say my documents have lists of maps of tuples of lists - will it create the appropriate table structure in sqlite? The use cases I have in mind don't need the DB to scale to mor

That's also my conclusion. However I'm not aware of a DBMS that - is document based - can easily replicate to laptops and embedded devices - has all the security I want, e.g. encryption, per document security - has the bindings I want and/o

Great, thanks for the helpful info! Oh, one more thing: Did you ever load multiple TouchDBs? I'm thinking the overhead per DB (not per server) should be pretty small, no? Background: I'd like to build an application where I separate entitie

I'm very interested in those two solutions. Does anyone here have some experience about CouchDB/TouchDB on iOS/Android? Specifically: Does it replicate reliably to a CouchDB or Couchbase server? How are conflicts handled? Are there wrappers

You're missing something big here: Software support. In the past it was completely reasonable to develop all your stuff Win-only. Hence the lock-in, hence the market share. Nowadays, even in forward looking big corps, when new software proj

I felt so too, although Portal 1 & 2 came pretty close in that regard. There's just something about the depth of the atmosphere in Valve games that makes them unique.

So? Just close those reports then. I thought the issue here is to filter out anything spammy while not loosing any potentially valuable reports. A human should be able to filter out at least 90% of the spammy stuff while not loosing any goo

Sometimes adding humans is the best option? How about just hire some student workers to sweep through bug reports remotely? Even some Mechanical Turk approach might work, if you can create some checklist of what a useful bug report must hav

Oh. Ok. 2 days is actually at the high end of what I do, and this is for a 50min presentation. Of course, the visuals are usually based on work I already did before - instead of designing stuff with pen and paper I usually begin drawing my

Ahh finally I can have peace of mind. Thanks for that hint.

Please try the Episodes as well. I also thought HL2 to be weaker than its predecessor, but the Episodes blow everything out of the water IMO.

Interesting. May I ask you for a few estimates? How much preparation did you put into your templates approximately? How long does it take you to do a quick one-off? How long for a professional looking presentation for public speaking?

One more thing Calc is better than Excel: It doesn't screw with your Microsoft Windows 7 windows. Multiwindow in Excel is just broken. Is Excel 2013 any better there? Anyway, I agree with everything else you said, it matches exactly my ex

Writer is fine, Calc is somewhat ok for light spreadsheet users. but Presentations? That thing (whatever it's called) is just unusable IMO. Way too many clicks to do anything, crap looking standard templates, crap looking animations. Po

Isn't that just because their touchpads are so tiny? If you sit at a larger laptop with good touchpad, do you still feel that need?

> The excited defense of Apple, despite my having not really attacked Apple in the first place makes it seem like there's some sort of victim mentality going on with Apple fans. With all due respect, now you seem to be extrapolating too

As someone so experienced with DOS, may I ask you something: Which script interpreters do you run from it? Is it sane for doing python development for example? And how do you glue that stuff together, using batch files? Isn't that ugly as h

I'm actually more worried about flying than about individual transport. I'd argue that affordable intercontinental flights have had a tremendously positive effect on the world's society as a whole. The intensified relationships make war bet

How about Flask+Flask+sqlite as an intro to (web)programming? It shows you much more of what's going on in the database backend. Plus, Flask is so small you can still look at it's program code in an afternoon and understand what it's doing.

1) putting pure cleanup code into different functions is unwieldy. It doesn't make code readability, thus maintainability, better in any way, so why use it? 2) speed. sometimes, when it comes to optimizing hot loops, there is a point where

I like the model too and you got me thinking. Is there any standard licence model where you allow people to have and use the source but not to redistribute it "as is"?
