We are a culture grown fat and rich off its own cultural products Not really, you can't actually make new works of art based on old works of art, since copyright forbids that. Technically you can, but they have to have been released

That is only a small fraction of the mobile market. A much larger fraction is people who save money for a few months to afford a powerful handheld computer. And for them 4.50$ is closer to two lunches, than a single cappuccino.

Kind of misleading when the video goes "this is not a program driving the robot" - of course it's a program. Just because they copied the interconnection structure of a worm brain doesn't make it not a program. It's

I meant that the diversity makes it annoying because things that were good jokes suddenly turn ugly. So I do have to ask what is it that is not ok now. Because alright - not everything is ok, but I'm also sure that not everything is no

Because of the "men", because of the "vi", because of the "real", or because it's a jab at the readership? Some time ago, I would have just assumed you were an emacs user, but these days there's a muc

No mechanical system is ever exploited at 100% capacity. The elevator in your building never has to carry more than half of what it's absolutely capable of. Any kind of building is built with materials that can withstand a lot more tha

You can limit the official servers to people who have a license key. Plus, DRM is its own detriment. Some days ago I saw Child of Light on sale on Steam and was going to buy it, but then noticed it has uPlay DRM. And as we all know uplay me

For a library like that, isn't it also a good idea to let me plug in my own backend? That is, let me specify the sample format I want and either provide a function I can call that will fill a buffer with samples, or ask me to give you

Today the state is (almost) as it always was: 1. Install and set up JACK. Enjoy your lack of latency. I haven't profiled it scientifically, but I've tried microphone monitoring with filters layered on and couldn't detect any

Since you didn't give alternatives, allow me: the program you should use is called quvi. It comes with a large number of scripts for extracting videos from sites and you can easily write more or patch existing ones, since they're

Aren't you supposed to use arc4random once to seed a high-quality pseudorandom generator? From what I understand, seeding a high-quality PRNG with good source of randomness is really all you need.

Not really, some containers have a linear-time size by design. The canonical example is a linked list in which you wish to keep the splice-another-list-at-middle time linear.
