The main problem in reproducing the study is that it is very vague what counted as a formatting error. It would have been very reasonable to just upload the output from each participant so that the analysis of the results could be reproduce

About 9 years ago I had a small site where both page content and some large PDF files were stored in the same SQLite database. Nothing extravagant: about 20 pages and 10 PDF files, each PDF file averaging 2-3 MBs. The website was extremely

Totally agree. Obscurity will not save you from a targeted attack but the main problem on the internet now is automated break-in attempts. Obscurity can be very helpful there. Of course I can't help noticing that this is the moral equi

There is a patch that supposedly solves this problem. Homebrew applies this patch to Emacs and after I started using this I did not notice any more problems with distnoted. I am not sure if other Emacs builds also apply this patch.

I agree that there is a lot of bias and ignorance from both sides. But concerning the example you bring up, I remember having watched the video with the tank stopping and trying to go around the man several years ago (I believe in '89

Moreover, the specific predictions turned out to be wrong: Swift has no garbage collection (ARC is not GC), and is not a completely clean slate but is using the ObjC runtime.

I would guess that the code tries to get the value for keys that do not exist in the defaultdict. Well, if the key does not exist then it is being added with the default value 'NA'. So in this way you can end up with a huge dictio

I have been bitten by #6 in a similar situation in the past. My solution was the analogue of the rather convoluted def create_multipliers(): def multiplier(i): return lambda x: i*x return [multiplier(i) for i in ra

As someone who has moved between continents a little bit too much, a $40 digital no-DRM version would be an instant buy. A $20 dead-tree version is a no-sale.

The keyboard looks great in the video. Is version 1.6.3 already on the AppStore? If not, (I only find v1.6.2) is there an ETA?

Although I understand your motivation, when I see "clone of X in language Y" I think that this is something being hyped only because of the choice of language and not because of the project's actual merits. In the case of Git

It happens more and more often that a Google search for some problem sends me to a potentially useful Stsckoverflow question that has been closed for a ridiculous reason. At least, sometimes there are already answers or comments there that

I've read about Xeon Phi a few months ago and I really want to get my hands on one. My problems are in the embarrassingly parallelizable class (or almost). Having said that, does anybody know how each Xeon Phi core performs with respect to

Let's rewrite the examples using regular expressions (Python but that's not extremely important): import re re.match(r"^/(?P<year>.+?)/(?P<month>.+?)/(?P<day>.+?)/(?P<title>.+?)\.html$", "/2

Exactly! As Alan Kay said "The best way to predict the future is to invent it". I don't find it is so important that people like Jobs, Gates, Brin, etc. have sometimes correctly predicted the future. What is important is that they executed,

Strange. The way I read his article was "Apple was between a rock and a hard place. They chose the hard place because that made more sense for them". He doesn't praise Maps. He describes why he thinks Apple chose to make a less than perfect

Just one more datapoint. I had an older MacBook with the T-Magsafe and I now have a MacBook Pro with the L-Magsafe. I love the L-Magsafe. With the T type the cable near the connector would fray every year and a half or so. I had it replaced

I'm the author of simplenote.el. Deft looks very interesting and I am happy that simplenote.el was of some use to Jason for writing Deft. As a sidenote, I am always pleasantly surprised when I hear that people are using simplenote.el; this
