That first sentence is so important. I had to google explicate. I haven't had to google words that a young adult wrote since I was a young adult :-)

Shocker. Likewise, if you ever access SpiderOak from a browser you're equally hosed. If you don't trust the server then you can't expect thin client apps served from said server to be trustworthy. It's bizarre to me that

I'm coming around to the idea that getting computers to act like people is like building planes that flap their wings because that's what birds do. You're working with a fundamentally different medium, you should be playing t

Because this is automatic, and doesn't require that inebriated people maintain their own quality controls. With a strip, ignoring the fact that it's a socially awkward thing to do, when are you going to test your drink? Before you

For someone who doesn't have enough hours in the day to receive "proper Scheme training" and already (sort of) knows Clojure could you go into detail about what you mean when you talk about it being "messed up due to kit

New Zealand has a similar system. All kiwis can get a student loan, which you can put class fees, some living costs and a few other expenses under. You can also apply for a student allowance which you don't have to pay back, but you ha

Scary right? Great name though. I imagine it will succeed on that alone. (where succeed means "accrue money and and mind-share")

I'd argue the complete opposite: that is, most apps that don't work without a data connection aren't useful. Specifically, most apps should be able to perform their functions off-line. Why? Because mobile data is expensive an

Eh, you have to let that stuff slide imo: the Internet presumes you are American. It used to annoy me, but since a large amount of the English-speaking internet is American I've learnt to ignore it. It's only really frustrating

So I want people to concentrating on what I write, not how the letters look. Am I missing the point though? Every time I've looked at custom fonts I haven't been able to find any that look more "readable" for large amoun

That's kind of silly. If you're using Java and altering method signatures at runtime using reflection you're either in a very niche field where perhaps you shouldn't be using Java, or you're nuts. Just because you

It was also brought to my attention from that article a few days ago about the secret dance party: NY has a law disallowing gatherings of more than 50 people without a permit. That to me is just as constitution-breaking as free speech zones

I actually thought that was where this article was going, and was very surprised when it wasn't mentioned. I will say though (as a lighttable backer with the fancy-schmancy t-shirt to prove it) that the current builds of light table ar

It looks like a great place for Tesla to find old batteries and remove them from circulation. Leasing seems like a good idea (pay X per year and you can use these stations and you'll always end up with a battery of a certain acceptable

It's unfortunate the video quality is so poor. Surely this should be a marketing boon for Tesla. You'd think they'd put more effort in. Edit: This is better quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlaQuKk9bFg

I have a Nokia 1202 that I keep in my emergency drawer, that I take with me hiking and so on. It's very reminiscent of the 3315 in build quality. It talks, it txts, it has snake. What more do you need!
