I wish we would go one step further and just stick to UTC as well. That way when we try to set up a video conference at 0900 we don't have to translate between time zones. We can just ask if 0900 works, and everyone would know what t

Another effect leading to weight fluctuations upon starting / ending a diet is the body's usage of glycogen stores as an energy source. For every gram of carbs the body stores as glycogen it stores around 4g of water along with i

The key thing here is that these pellets are designed to work with existing reactors. If you want to start using thorium it is a very hard sell (given the popularity of nuclear power atm) to build new reactors/plants, but changing the

The law of jante is slightly esoteric and so everyone feels the need to bring it up when the Scandinavian tech scene is discussed, just to show they are in the know. Nobody in a position to do a startup gives a shit about the law of jante.

Can someone in the know comment on the size of the runtime? Why is it so large? Is this problem likely to be solved, or are we waiting for more powerful hardware?

Some of you might be interested to give this mentoring stuff a try, either as a montor or as a student. If so, you might be interested in checking out the Learn Programming Mentoring Community (LPMC). This project was started when it becam

Stretching does not reduce soreness, it increses it. Soreness is due to microtears in the muscle fibers caused by exercise. Stretching can also cause microtears. The only way avoid getting sore is to increase your load progressively, or s

This is a horrible metaphor. The lion would undoubtedly perform at a higher level if he warmed up properly prior to going out on a hunt. There are, however, tons of other reasons lions haven't evolved to 'warm up' before going hunting.

Bitcoin's role the world economy is unlikely to be as a replacement for all other currencies. This is partly because of the properties of the currency inself--a modest inflation is good for the economy--and partly because governments/union

None of the other browsers have any plans of implementing support for Dart. I don't see any point in getting excited about yet another language which compiles to javascript. Everyone wants to replace Javascript, but this seems to be anothe

I have recently been thinking about moving to digitalocean, because they look like excellent value. I haven't made the move yet because of inertia, and Linode's customer service which is just mind-blowingly good. I suspect that in a coupl

Given how common multi-platform releases have become I think it makes sense to just get behind x86. Sony had quite a bit more powerful hardware in the last generation, but when I had the opportunity to compare games side by side I didn't no

I bought some Bitcoins using MtGox about 4 months ago. The experience was pretty smooth. I had to send money to their bank in Japan and they credited my account. This increased the cost of aquiring bitcoins, because the bank also took a

Logging is off by default except when the car is being driven by a member of the media. The reason they have it turned on under these circumstances is mentioned in the article: they were treated unfairly by the car show Top Gun.

You are right, novice users don't install operating systems, but most laptops come with one pre-installed. Not knowing any better they could simply go by aesthetics when they select computers. In this case they are likely to end up with a

Apple's walled-garden is becoming quite large and it might be the case that they don't have enough engineers to tend that garden at the moment. Apple is, however, not a hardware company, they're selling an entire ecosystem to their users.

For all my love for Steam, Valve, Linux and Newell himself, I cannot help but gag a little every time he opens his mouth as of late. Not a single fuck was given about Linux prior to the release of Win 8. Then, suddenly, once Valve's profit

This might be a common myth. The tax levels in the nordic countries might be higher than the US but not by that much. We also have free health care and education (university attendance is free) and other benefits included in our taxes. Ear
