One could make the visualisation app work for a reduced data set and then constantly add to it whilst downloading. It would also make development easier. So you start with 2-3 years, make the app, make some scripts to automatically download

I sure hope so because I am very very curious. Surely there are a lot of researchers that will love to jump into this data and manipulate it somehow. It's a good time to be studying climate change now... your dissertation is right here

Would be great to see a nice visualisation tool built on top of OpenStreetMaps or something like that which allows you to see the predicted temperatures for a given location though time. Sadly this is way over my capabilities, also a 11 TB

It was so bad when i got my first iPod nano (2009) that I quickly actually gave up on using my iPod. It was such a faff getting music on it (using a windows based laptop) that I stopped changing my music and soon I lost interest in my iPod

I think the problem here is the fact that tainted variables (user input) are used to execute shell commands. it doesn't matter if that's $_POST or $_GET, both of these are user input and therefore these are huge vulnerabilities.

Imagine a small gadget (that would fit under the kitchen counter) that would take your plastic waste and recycle it into a polymer of some sort that can be used as material for 3d printers. Then you can recycle your plastic waste and turn i

I want everything Mother knows/finds out, to be stored locally (i.e. on my pc, not in the cloud), to be kept secure, private and I want to access it at any time from anywhere.... can Mother do that? I don't think so. Still pretty

Don't worry; it will rise again. It's already at $550. If you keep on to your BTCs, in a few months it will get back to $1100+. At which point I would suggest you sell some of it and get some money back; $11k seems like a lot of m

This is pretty cool, congratulations! First of all, I have a question: how do you store the users' text? Do you store it on your server (a db) or is is local storage/cookies or something like that? And some feedback: I would make

It works in the new Google Maps version. You have to use the arrow key instead of the mouse.

I use the same visual trick (more or less, looking at < and > as arrows, or if you want, spears) but I visualise bigger numbers as more "powerful" numbers that poke the "weak", smaller numbers with the pointy bit :

I would say that ego is something that every good programmer should have. It's not about being a rockstar or not. It's all about the code. This is what mainly defines programmers/coders/developers/makers. It is alwa

Probably because they said they are under a large ddos attack? :-? I wonder why would someone do something like this? It's not like github is evil or anything... it's just a really cool and useful tool for coders. It helped a lot

Yeah, that's sadly true; Though, the fix would be quite simple, put a clear:both; on the #layout div.

Why would you visit it on an iPhone?! I see the website as a developer resource, and I can't seem to think of a use case when you develop something/need to visit it on an iPhone.

I understand where you're coming from; the php.net website is by no means beautiful and the design does lack creativity, BUT, I think that the main purpose of this site is information and no looks. It's all about the documentation

1. And what would the right way be? Is there a right way to influence a search engine's results? I find it to be wrong/deceiving from the very beginning. The only acceptable things in my opinion are: * using clean urls, for ease of typing/r

I think this is not the case anymore. With facebook, twitter and all the other social networks people interact more easily and exchange resources and information. It's a lot easier to publish something nowadays. Don't confuse marketing with

Yes but if you choose to stay out of it (i.e. invest in content and not bother with SEO techniques which cannot really be approved or disproved, unless you work for a search engine) you don't suffer when the algorithms change, because you d

I have an irrational hatred towards SEO. People should stop investing money and time in trying to influence an algorithm that constantly changes and actually invest that time and money in creating better content or a better service that peo
