I started watching that but then I realised I hadn't seen a lot of the films, so I turned it off for fear of spoilers.

There are loads of other laptops with a higher pixel density than the macbooks. The real advantage they have is OSXs superior hidpi support. Unless you're talking about the color reproduction which I can't really comment on. Not r

Thanks very much, I spent hours yesterday looking for a specific description of how the VHDs and VSS interacted and couldn't find it. A bit ridiculous really.

What fanless mini PC should I use to run a VPN gateway at line speed? I see a lot of random boxes reccommended on aliexpress, but which one should I buy? Should I just get whatever one, as long as it has the right AES instructions? Or are s

Like I said in another comment, it's the ACL impedance-mismatch that's the problem with cygwin :(

Ah I'm confusing it with rsnapshot. I'd assumed they were the same. I'm confusing incremental with differential I guess. Are you running rdiff-backup in cygwin? How do you find it deals with the ntfs ACLs? I'm looking fo

It's also to do with the homebrew scene not wanting their code to be used by pirates, and wanting to be seen to be actively preventing that, to try and protect themselves.

The standout for me is --delorean which is basically rdiff-backup for windows. There's a wrapper script for it here with some extra options: https://github.com/International-Nepal-Fellowship/Windows-To... Also thi

The NHS definitely uses a fancy wizard system to asses and diagnose patients and to decide what doctors should do in frontline cases. It's basically exactly what you're describing, an expert system, except that there isn't r

While this is framed here as a "radical" technique, it's just BF Skinner's Operant Conditioning, which has been one of the foundations of behavioral psychology for nigh on 100 years. If you're wondering if it really

Isn't this just shifting the ambiguity into your choice of state definitions, rather than the states themselves?

Very nice. Xpath is the saving grace of dealing with XML, so I'll definitely keep an eye on this.

If anything, once you've cheated death amassing more personal power might feel like a bit of a waste of time. Waste of time probably isn't the right phrase but you get my drift.

Apparently they have simply observed that users are more likely to pay the surge pricing when low on battery, and they claim not to factor it into the surge algorithm itself. Makes sense to me, afaik the driver UI shows surge pricing based

It's not obvious that this couldn't have been produced by any other intensely novel experience at that stage of life, eg. foreign travel. An intense psychedelic trip could be a good shortcut though.

Life has many disparate potential sources of meaning, and the urge to systematize everything along one dimension represents ideology at work and should be avoided. Those who go around proclaiming everything to be only about sex or only abou

All it would really take IMO is picking a nice colour for the links to give the site some kind of recognisable brand/theme/personality. Perhaps move the other text away from pure black to decrease the contrast slightly.

This is utterly offensive and this man is utterly corrupt. He claims to be doing this to discredit his foes, but there's no evidence that he's done any of the "public denouncing" which he gives as his justification for p

Posting "fuck /u/spez" has become something of a meme, and every time you write out someone's username like that, they get a PM. This, combined with the accusations of paedophilia that the lunatics at /r/p
