I might be an idiot but... how about automatic doors? (that you don't have to touch) You want some WiFi app thingie? Ok, link the automatic doors to the nearest gel dispenser and when the ratio of door opening/dispenser use gets t

There's too much confusion, you're right. What Netflix need is some hard numbers. I suggest they take very detailed statistics at the client level and constantly report them back to their servers, in real time. With all that d

Spoiler alert: it doesn't taste like much. As for the rest, it's the usual Soylent article being rehashed. If you're looking for a bland, cheap alternative to journalism, this is for you.

Most disheartening is the way Zeev Suraski pleaded for votes against the size_t/int64 patch in a mail[1] titled "A call for help (urgent)" because, I quote, it "negates months of hard work" . That was only a few

The part I still don't get because I haven't seen it discussed so far is that their original patch mentionned they had been using a variant of the patch "for a decade" but I never got why they didn't seek to get it
