Was Zona really even about the film? Or more about the author's experience of it at different stages of his life? That said, Roadside Picnic is a very atmospheric and captivating story on its own right. It really fleshes out the backst

Same. It's the only reader that has intuitive keyboard shortcuts to navigate the selection between the feed, article list, and the actual article. And it looks nice. Well worth $3/mo.

LyX and TeXMacs can do that kind of thing through Maxima plugins. The Maxima frontend itself has some prettifying capabilities. Of course, if you aren't doing symbolic math that is going to be less useful to you. - http://ww

Cool, this would also be useful for tracking communal or shared gear for other types of organizations, like student clubs (probably a bit pricy for them, though). How did you decide on the pricing breakdown? 50 tools $20/mo | 150 tools

I was looking for something like this recently to try to do some server-side validation of discount codes to automatically add things to a customer's cart if they have the right code on an ecommerce site. Typically ecommerce stores val

Interesting. I personally like to use sidenotes for this type of thing on my website; it's nice to be able to scan the sidenotes for additional info without clicking on anything. On the other hand, they really don't work on mobile

One thing that bothers me about the Node community is how the first person to implement a protocol/API/wrapper tends to name their package something like 'protocol' or 'protocol-js' instead of something like &#

Ah, turns out it only uses TeX fonts and implements its own typesetter.

TeXmacs is great--you can precisely and effortlessly write equations (and tables) that would be a huge pain to generate in Lyx, Word, and especially LaTeX. Jupyter-style embedding of live Python/Octave/Matlab (and more?) consoles

Disclaimer: I've never done this before, but this is what I'd do. Approach branding in the same way as internationalization. Instead of hardcoding strings, reference a config file that translates the logo/brand names/col

Back in the day, Pandora showed you the attributes that they had tagged each song with (stuff like "down-tempo funky grooves", "offbeat emphasis", "prominent female vocalist"). I always wished there was some wa

RNPM is pretty good, but it doesn't work with some libraries that require slightly unique initialization steps or paths. I imagine this will eventually lead to some kind of postinstall hook in the module packages, which will be picked

I like http://hn.premii.com because it runs articles through the Instapaper API so you don't have to leave the site to read an article. It's also vastly faster than any of the above.

This is true for lots of programs. Try installing TeXLive or a similar LaTeX distribution from a package manager. Usually it pulls in a *-docs package that takes up well more than half of the download.

This is general advice for earthquakes and other disasters: - As soon possible, gather fresh water. Drain the pipes in sinks and showerheads; if you don't have enough containers, fill up the bathtub. - Have non-perishable food on hand
