Looks like a hardware lab prototype case to me.

I used to think that about myself. Now I'm pretty sure it's just the result of having light pollution (lights outside candle temperature and brighter than three or four candles) including glowing screens, electronic device hyperst

Four sixes or three eights feels like about the right balance, to me. It'd be the point at which a working professional could plausibly and in a non-trying-to-make-a-point way respond with something other than their job to the question

You can play Perfect Dark with improved graphics and modern controls on a 360 or XBone. It's still one of the best console FPS games around, and includes some really cool and unusual multiplayer modes (campaign co-op and campaign ver

What does that have to do with whether tablets are more than media consumption devices?

> media-consumption gadgets How are people still repeating this? Better sensor suite, better (outward-facing!) camera, and better built-in ability to use it as a drawing surface than pretty much any laptop (certainly none combines all th

I suspect that forcing the war in Syria to smoulder for years rather than burn out in months will be regarded by history as a larger blunder for US foreign policy than Iraq is.

Oh man, I could have sworn I saw commands like in (2) a while back but then just could not find them again the other day when I went looking, so I thought I'd imagined it. Great news. So the workflow there is to add the new file or d

Specific issues include: 1) you can only provide useful names (not simply hashes) for things that are in directories, so a large number of bare files (easiest to update in IPFS) absolutely requires an external index linking the hash to a

by ashark 9y ago
IPFS has its own challenges with large, living collections like this, which results in their not being especially navigation- and updating-friendly without an external content index and some custom tooling on top of IPFS. In practice it end

This is one reason why I advocate giving your kids (if in America, at least) really boring names. Just scratch anything remotely strange off the list, and forget about it. If you can't imagine a Kennedy or a character on 1950s US TV ha

I think it's a reaction to lawyers posting "I am a lawyer; I am not your lawyer; this in not legal advice", presumably as some part of explicit or implicit professional ethical or legal obligation, plus the typical "

I've done work I could do 100 hrs a week without burning out. Not saying I'd be happy doing it, but I wouldn't burn out. Moderately physical, some moving around, some sitting, a little variety, hard thinking not more than a m

Coming to it through emulation years later (I played a few multiplayer games a ton at friends' houses, but barely touched the single-player parts of the N64 library—my only home console until college was an NES) I've found a lot

Upper classes are socialized against sweet=good. That helps.

That's too bad. Battery on my work MacBook (and making my whole system beachball constantly, even with only a handful of tabs open) is what got me to switch from Firefox to Chrome ~6 years ago, and from there to Safari for even better

Too late for me to edit, but the Analogue-NT Mini is also FPGA. I got that wrong. Pretty sure the original NT was fully hardware, not FPGA, but I don't think it's available anymore. Main difference between the two linked produ

Longer exposure of components to radiation? Deterioration of fuel and fuel-touching components (wouldn't be able to get by on relatively inert monopropellant like on tiny probes, probably)? Best guesses.

Ha, I was just reading a couple of Thomas books to my son the other day and thought, “man, the class politics of Sodor are... really weird.”

I find altering environment to be much (like, much ) more effective than altering behavior. Clothes chronically on the floor somewhere[1]? That spot needs a hamper. Toddlers' toys all over the place and spouse vetoes throwing out like

Parent mentions Kodi, which isn't on Roku at all (it's not written in Roku's Brightscript, obviously, so porting it would be a full re-write)

Side loading Kodi only takes a few minutes. I've got it on my FireTV—it's almost all I use it for, in fact.

One of the key insights about his situation, I think, is that you can live on his under-30K budget and not feel super poor, if you don't have regular 9-5 job with a fixed location, if you don't need to worry much about good sc

Not sure about DTS (I think passthrough works, at least, if you have a receiver, and I'm pretty sure it'll at least give you stereo from it if you don't) but an RPi2 will do h.264 1080p video no problem. Any Pi, however, wi

A TL;DR of the book (still read it!) is that debt was (at least typically, and as best we can tell) around before money, and that early communities operated on debt internally and mostly used barter or money-like things when dealing with da
