nuget is the closest to apt-get you can get on Windows. Chocolatey is only a download script for a bunch of GUI apps―very useful in its own right, but not a package manager with dependency resolutíon etc.

That sentence caught my eye, too. So they are publicly stating that they are not really interested in just solving the case and prosecuting the offender. Instead, they want to see what else they can stick to the man. I'm sure if you ju

Just a remark on credit cards in Europe: yes, they are less common than in the US. However, this is mostly because Europeans use "EC cards" instead, which mostly work like debit cards except that they are issued by the banks them

This is a terrific writeup about the latencies of text editors. Now the next step is to research the effects of latency on cognitive strain, typing accuracy, and typing speed. Without that, the latency numbers themselves don't mean muc

So "PS" is metric for horsepower. Who knew. (it's German for horsepower, but German horses are just as powerful as imperial ones, and not particularly metric: PS literally means "Pferdestärken", i.e. "horse-p

After having owned three kindles, I have switched to a kobo about a year ago. The kobo has many of its own problems, but it gets the reading experience right: it uses (very un-aggressive) hyphenation, and the lock screen displays the book c

I want to like KaTeX so much, but without `\begin{cases}` or `\begin{align}`, it just can't typeset some of the equations I use. I'll keep an eye on it though. Maybe they'll implement those things some day.

Emacs is an interactive programming environment for building your own text editor. It is what you make of it. Vanilla Emacs is very middle-ground, just like you say. My personal Emacs is an extension of myself, with lots of functionality on

Is this relevant for consumers? SSDs were a huge improvement for everyday computing; would NVMe be a similar jump?

Often, the problem with US cities is that they use a lot of space for parking lots. In order to be practical for walking and cycling, businesses have to be very densely packed. Having a parking lot in front of every business spaces them too

Another language that supports this is Julia: In Julia, `/` is division, but `//` creates a rational number. Thus, in Julia, `1//10 + 2//10 - 3//10 == 0//1`, and `1 / (1/&#x2F

When I go on a trip, I always take my tablet instead of laptop, just because its smaller and I won't be tempted to work. My tablet can't replace my laptop at all, but it's a great device for traveling, reading, and watching v

Re-implementing matrix math, image processing, signal processing, statistics, scientific mathematics and a much much more is a daunting task. Not impossible, but a lot of work.

I think that the article is sorely missing the point of the metric system. It's not about communication. For communication, the frathe of reference doesn't matter, as long as both parties agree on the same reference. In fact, I fi

Basically, you need to use an email provider in your own country. Each country (hopefully) has laws to protect the privacy of its citizens. Such laws usually don't extend to non-citizens. Either that, or encrypt everything you do.

As a downside, you don't get access to the audio data.

I have written quite a bit of cross platform audio code. Portaudio really works fine. If you need low latency on Windows, use the ASIO backend. Compiling it on Windows is a bitch, though.

Some confidence intervals for the hypothesis would be really handy. Still, great article!

The article seems to imply that you can do either a master's or a PhD. Is that correct? In Germany, a master's is a prerequisite for the PhD.

Python, Ruby, and Perl were developed by individuals, not companies. I think the article's reasoning is flawed.
