Their email about this says they're open sourcing some of it... we'll have to wait and see what, exactly, that is.

What would you suggest as an alternative? I think in any market, copying is a thing...

You might consider either Autohotkey for Windows, or Keyboard Maestro for Macs (or something similar for Linux, I'm sure). You can rebind keys, including shift and control/command, to whatever or wherever you want. I did it to ge

That's an interesting use case. You ought to email them and ask about it! My goal is just two off-site backups (AWS and Google).

I highly recommend the "Arq" [1] commercial program for backing stuff up to these kinds of services. They support most of the big names (AWS, Google, Dropbox, etc.) and will probably be supporting the new Google options soon. It

Perhaps the folks at Microsoft's Lync (named after this gentleman, [1], no doubt) or maybe it's Skype for Business now could get some of this research. We have this at work (alas), and it does "transcription" of voicemai

You might try looking around, for another company which does what you do now. I did 32-hour weeks for about nine years, both at a small company (~ 850 people) and the comparative behemoth I work for now (~ 90,000 people).

Not sure how to fix this, but I added "Remote" as a filter, and got sites that are "Remote: YES" and "Remote: NO". Is there a way to designate only one or the other?

Here's an article with a couple of references to research: http://psych-your-mind.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-cohabitation... And a more recent one, with a lot more references: https://www.psychologyt

Another useful economic choice, at least in the USA right now, is to only eat half your order and save the rest for the next day's lunch or dinner. I'd guess that the cost of food has not risen as much as the cost of labor, and so

That's one of those ideas that sounds great in theory, but turns out to work out badly in practice. In fact, people who live together before marriage are more likely to divorce, not less. Look at it this way: you move in with someone

My thoughts exactly. My confession: I've fought the borrow checker and lost a few times, and just scaled back what I wanted to do, so far. Maybe someday I'll know what I'm doing :-) but I do like it so far, certainly more tha

I'm taking this course as well, and I'm really pleased with how practical it is, and how much "here's how to figure out how to do better" advice and techniques there are. Really, it's a great model for teachi

Well, to each his own, I guess. I spent several years learning to draw and paint, it was a great hobby. BUT, I didn't get to the point of being able to draw character-type art. That level of drawing is hard , due to the uncanny va

I spent several years programming the CM-2, and it was a joy to program, and not difficult at all (for most things). I still miss C* in some ways. Also, see the Inc. article about why they went out of business... it was REALLY bad arroga

by chris_st 10y ago
The CM-2 didn't work that way. If you declared a 64-bit value, it went "down" each processor's memory, so that it would still be 64K values. Interestingly, you could ask the machine to consider itself as having twice the

by chris_st 10y ago
Well, they're both SIMD architectures. But I think the way you program them is/was very different. I quite miss programming the CM-2 in C* -- it was a really nice environment, and really pretty easy to program to (contrary to the

In american english, calling someone "catty" means they gossip maliciously. Also, "cathouse" is another name for whorehouse.

That's great! Thanks for detailing what went wrong, as well as what went right. I've wanted to do a drawbot (paper and pen) for a while, and thought these pulleys[1] and belts[2] might be good. 1: https://www.adafruit.

I'm starting to think that "Only research that's been properly replicated at least twice" should be reported in the non-academic press. It would save a lot of "my experts can beat up your experts" kind of argu

Nope, it's not true, at least for what I do. You can look around [1] to see what kinds of things are just a "brew install" away on macOS... an awful lot of unix-y goodness. I have 61 things installed -- ansible, git, nvm, pos

I was in the same position a while back. However, thanks to this article[1] and learning a little bit about tmux behavior, I'm happily tmuxified. I recommend it. [1]: https://mutelight.org/practical-tmux
