Shingles isn't a separate disease. If you had chicken pox, you have the shingles virus in you already. If you had the chicken pox vaccine before you got exposed to chicken pox, you don't. And the only shingles specific vaccine

shingles isn't just for old people, I'm 27 and I had it. Wish I hadn't. Caught it early and the doctor said I was lucky, but it still hurt to even move.

I'd actually love something like this, but flipped. A user could go somewhere and spend a buck a month for a 1gb httphub-type account, then feed that info(via qr code or whatever) into various apps. Boom, instant cloud storage, but y

And? There's no way I'd build an app on a platform like this without knowing what the future of it will be. Storage is cheap is no excuse for "Oh, we're gonna start charging $10 a month for that plan, so you'll ha

Um, "When something isn't good, you needn't pretend that it is. But don't be gratuitously negative." Can you give any feedback about how you are going to sustain a "give people gigabytes of free storage"

Would really recommend using Tinkercad for the models. It's quite nice, and really easy to do actual dimensioned models(i.e. this bit is 3mm wide type stuff). I use it all the time for my 3d printer

Another thing to consider is how it looks. Hotel patron sees hotel's free wifi (why should they care that it's not the real thing), but everytime they try to connect, the connection fails. "Man, this hotel wifi sucks, full

Well, the flip side is, why does only music get this benefit? What if I didn't care if my 50mb download takes 10 times as long? Wouldn't it then fall under the same kind of "using dead time" thing?

Well, yeah, for a basic implementation, it's rather easy to track like that. What about a system where the unique id returned is based on a random value hashed with the domain name of the window? Then third party trackers would get a

No, they implied that she was going to get a horrible education doing it at home and online, which I would consider to be homeschooling.

For me, it was reading the 1632 book series(Ring of Fire). Learned more Swedish/German/European history from fictional alternative history books then apparently EXISTED in my high school history books

Well, the other side is that home schoolers do have to pass the same kind of tests and prove that they learned chemistry, history, math, blah. And in my experience, I approached history, math, and english with the attitude of "Ugh, th

Really wish I knew why everyone automatically assumes that homeschooling is useless...

by Vendan 12y ago
So every homeschooled child is automatically ill-educated? Or maybe, a child with parents that actually care about their child and her interests is rather lucky?

I knew what I wanted to do when I was 8. I'm 27 now, and I've got a solid career ahead of me, doing what I wanted to do when I was 8. Couldn't be happier.

Um, I would say it's mostly cause of mod_php support in apache, not cgi mode. Also, the fact that 5 minutes gets you AMP installed on just about any OS. On the topic of this site though, 3 exclamation marks on the title? Really???

Actually, it's an incredibly good idea, cause you can then just implement constant folding on the AST, and that (unary negate)1 turns into an actual -1, as well as a lot of other good optimizations.

Meh, that's an easy fix. I've got an actual office outside of my house that takes 30 seconds to get to. (AC and hardwired ethernet, of course)

on that note though, from my experiments, acetone vapor bath does seem to strengthen abs prints some, cause it melts the surface together. Not terribly big effect, but it actually helps a lot for low infill parts and stuff.

that is a horrible article, considering the picture they are using is ripped off of a reprap blog on smoothing abs prints using acetone vapors. http://blog.reprap.org/2013/02/vapor-treating-abs-rp-parts.h... . (I

Well, it may have hardcoded support for those, but if you look closely, even github has the go-import meta tag. It's just worth mentioning, cause you can put it on your own pages, pointing at your own git repo. There's nothing s

It's worth mentioning that there isn't actually anything special about "Github, Bitbucket, Google code" with relation to go get. Those sites are actually just serving up a web page with a meta tag of name "go-impor

It's nice, but from personal experience: Set it down to GOMAXPROCS=1. The code isn't very safely written and fails under any kind of load(even the load of just doing a hard reload).

Unfortunately, I don't care how much of a pain something is for the designer. Remember, the designer wants me on the page, not the other way around. And I'd rather be able to have a sane website experience rather then a crappy o

Have you thought about some kind of toggle for those of us for whom this scrolling junk irks? I've yet to see any site that actually uses it to present content that wouldn't have been fine without it.
