That looks like a smaller version of a Malibu tracking dish that I've used :)

It's not even building a big dish that's the problem, it's that it has to be pointed extremely accurately and stably, and preferably able to track..t

There are also simulators for low visual acuity that can help with web design work, such as this one for Chrome: http://accessgarage.wordpress.com/2013/02/09/458/

Thanks, yes I was thinking of both x87 and not just vector instructions. Any other info you have would be helpful :)

Does anyone know if the current/recent processors from Intel and AMD still perform relatively slowly in number crunching with denormals and NaNs? I remember it used to be like hitting a brick wall performance-wise if these crept into y

See my other post about maintenance/repair costs. And they suck down Jet-A like it's going out of style, from what I remember a 30-minute aerobatic joy ride required about $500 of fuel (and that was 5 years ago when avgas was a lo

Yeah, but the problem with any of these old/'affordable' ex-fighter/trainer jets is that when something of any significance breaks, you might as well just walk away from the plane because fixing it will cost more than wh

Here's a picture of the exact L-39 that I got to fly in! https://flic.kr/p/21HC4V

I believe that it's not uncommon for the ejection seats in private L-39's to be inop, my guess would be due to the cost to keep them maintained and/or that the consequences of a poorly maintained system ejecting spontaneously

oil tankers will sometimes even park themselves out in the ocean for weeks in order to not burn fuel while waiting for the projected price of their cargo to be optimal at the time they actually steam into port. Oil tankering optimization is

Good job! One small nit that I noticed - on the 'How it works' page there's a sentence that reads " Interaction cards > This is the only type that includes inumerous cards." At least for me, 'inumerous'

The tagline (the brain sensing headband) is hilarious, I'd love to see the app just respond Yes or No when a person puts the headband on ;)

Hi Nicholas, I just wanted to say thanks for being the public face of MemShrink. It's really great to have such visibility into this important work in one place, rather than scattered around a bunch of dev blogs etc. Also the continued

Yup, I believe you're right. It only pops up when it detects a problematic plugin. Although I can't remember if it monitors this continuously, or just when you launch IE.

Yes, the hand brake is your friend when starting on hills, but it's tough when you're starting out because it means you have to coordinate three things at once :)

Would it be possible to use these techniques on the various JITs that are used in Firefox/Cheomium? How hard would that be? The work you folks are doing is wonderful.

For small-screen mobile devices, could you launch the slides in full-screen landscape?

Very nice, great work! Some FYIs: On my iphone Safari browser, I found the next/prev buttons on the viewer to be very small targets. Also, before I noticed them, I tried swiping horizontally on the slide itself, but this triggers some

If Brian or others at Fog Creek read this, I'd suggest considering adding a way to provide more feedback when a user clicks on the 'I did/not find this article helpful' buttons; in another software package I use, when yo
