Personally I find the discussion of Undeclared Consumers much more worrying, I'd never thought of it in those terms before. Even down to all those roll-your-own report guis plugged directly into unabstracted data sources.

I've always wanted to see blender's 'ghost' ui code broken out to a separate project, its very opinionated views on layout setup and surfacing underlying api bindings through the gui would make an amazing 'control p

The narrative of the dangerous AI exciting for the layman, but it's ultimately just a good story, more of a danger to our current economic model than it is to our species.

What's going on with italy short public and long private, an outlier for both in europe.

I've seen three or so pieces like this in the last month, they all seem to have been inspired by a (much more depressing) short narrative piece Adbusters did a couple of months ago.

Slightly misleading to say the summed colour value difference between the frames a distance that's analogous to a geometric distance, geometric distance measures on data with high numbers of dimensions becomes useless, as the dimension

I am SO going to start referring to flash-lights as directed electromagnetic pulse generators, albeit ones with higher than normal pulse durations.

Isn't that precisely what the linked paged calls '"odd-r" horizontal layout' ?

A script to post random key containing config-like files to public repos and waste these guy's bandwidth/light them up on amazon's blacklist radar would be a cool idea.

"The Senegal-born Frenchman, who is now a successful novelist" Yeah, that's all you need to read, a not so subtle CTA for amazon searches.

Great idea, you could operate on a sliding scale that reduces the fare based on freakiness of the driver. Make real killing by hiring a driver that torutured small animals and chronically wet the bed as a child, because although it has no r

Bottom of what's usable would probably be the GTX 770 bump it up to the 4G vram model and you'll be fine.

There's no evidence this was ever true, the whole salary/salarius thing is basically an offhanded potential backronym mentioned by Pliny. It's particularly unlikely as 'payment' to the Roman fighting forces in the t

Cool, I'll give it a go and hope that it's as helpful in getting into Go as xmonad was haskell, nothing like having your basic interaction mechanisms bug you to motivate you to dig into the code.

There's core support for multiple screens it in the basic window management model, along with hooks for xrandr refreshes. Pretty much everything you need.

It being Python makes it easier to get the basics done, but for me there's not a lot of value in that fact, other than setting up initial login layouts and screens I'm not a great user of WM scripting, or at least what I do use (s

I'm not familiar with the Windows 8 system, anything interesting you don't see in most tiling window managers?

A crêpe van is one of the friendly examples they have in the carousel on that page. Although why anyone would buy their decorative paper from the back of a van is beyond me.

That'd be a great addition, showing the product on the landing page and listing its unique features in a way that can be glanced over and understood is essential.

The first thing I think of when I read the title of this post is "How is it different to a rape alarm?" this page does not answer that question.

I'm not sure it scales like that for that long, sure there are benefits of familiarity with a language or system, the major changes in productivity I've seen come about through cross-skilling you can only expect the majority of de

Admit to a slight use of rhetorical effect there, I completely agree the vast amount of developers aren't working on even slightly tricky code, or at least if they are it's a minor portion of their time, a good dev should be abstr
