I didn't realize we have so much red-green overlap; like we barely qualify as trichromats. That Cyanistes Caeruleus sensitivity graph is beautiful, even without the fourth cone.

Why wouldn't they be running VMs? I frequently use them for development, within OSX.

Wait, wait, can we get psychological evaluations covered first?

The really absurd part is that they still wanted that data provided to these private companies from the NWS, just not available to the public. Almost all of these companies simply regurgitate NWS information pretending it's their own a

I eventually gave up and ordered my Pi Zero from eBay scalpers. Will probably have to do that with the Zero W as well. If they're already for sale at brick-and-mortars then the listings won't be far behind (I don't see any ye

I do use my own extensions, that I don't distribute, for many everyday conveniences during browsing. I've reluctantly, given lack of good alternatives, stuck with Chrome for a long time; but this is the change that finally forced

It sounds like you're done messing with it; but if you're not, you can install it without the Android/Java stuff. If you let the installer start running, but deny it elevation to write to your system directories when prompted

Exactly. This is a list of everything the new MacBooks already have. It sounds like the author should just get the new MBP. Some of the listed attributes are just odd too: only 16GB RAM? No HDMI? No SD? Guessing from the relative volumes of

GitKraken (gitkraken.com) is very nice, though not open source.

This machine is way out of my price range; but I am very interested in the frequently mentioned "open-toolchain FPGAs" in their descriptions. AFAIK there are only a handful of very specific chips that you can currently get away wi

I had the exact opposite impression. The hardware didn't sound like anything too special to me; especially with it only needing to handle audio. Fitting enough processing power to handle realtime "AI" in a package that size i

I followed the link, having misread it as "File Types of Virality" and thinking it was something about file formats, relating to hosting viruses.

I think the post is very interesting, and not completely obvious. It's not as much about people deciding whether or not to commit suicide; it is, that all of the benefits of intelligence also come with one potentially huge evolutionary

Love those cold, corporate, canned responses? Does Level 1 tech. support make your day by asking if you've rebooted? These features and more, can all be yours!

I do agree with your point; but traffic must very quite a bit along the line. My VTA commutes are almost always full up, to standing room only, unless I go outside of the to/from-Caltrain schedule (and even then, it's almost never

Completely agree. My brother recently lost his sight. I've been working on tools to address some smaller, specific pain-points for him; but general purpose computing without vision is beyond frustrating...

I love these disfluencies, at the right times. Obviously there are variations on use; where cases like overuse from being unprepared can be painful to listen to... But when obviously pausing to think of the best way to describe something to

The number of US credit unions thrown around is a fairly misleading. The majority of decreases in this number are mergers, not CUs being "shut down". A more useful number may be the total number of US credit union members over the
