I have been running Precise Pangolin on a Samsung series 9 15" (NP900X4C) for a while now (with Xmonad, too). It works wonderfully and all the external hardware I've tested (Logitech HD webcam, USB headphones, ...) have worked fine. Only re

I would humbly suggest you're entirely mis-understanding what's occurring. I don't for a moment think the submissions related to his suicide are people 'climbing' (or clamouring, or grasping) for attention. This is the organic and natural o

To my knowledge it is not. For this reason, I stopped using it, despite their otherwise very nice approach generally. I have been doing without cloud storage for my most important files (financial documents, etc.), so I'm pretty interested

Sorry, but what part of 'Stay anonymous ... 100% Private & confidential - Learn your market value without your current employer ever knowing' involves me giving you my name, current employer, current title, and email address in step 2?

I'd say they're focusing on software developers (ok, software engineers). They're more niche than 'engineers', which CS intersects. I agree it's less than obvious.

Hi Rimpinths, not to hi-jack Ancora's thread, but I'm in KC and would be interested to talk, if you have some time.

Could the camera app be wrapped with this in a way that r/w is restored when the camera is launched, and then removed again when closed (back-grounded, home-screen press, whatever)? I can't check the APK myself right now, but seems at least

A corollary, a comment on method, and an anecdote: Related, this approach also reveals syntactic errors in printed books. This re-enforces the principle, since it shows that even published authors make mistakes. It also means that, even fol

Might also be worth noting that some of William Burroughs' writing (as he self-describes) were created by cutting a type-written page into quarters, rearranging various quarters, and then dealing with whatever came of that (i'm of course pa

Yes, absolutely I'm curious. I've been dreaming about it since moving the little LOGO turtle triangle around on my green-and-black Apple IIe. But despite that circa-1960s idea, I still use `scp` and grep to get-things-done. Come on, people,

It's such a long blur of characters.... where are the pretty pictures? Maybe a few process-flow diagrams and an interactive UML concept piece? I only read blogs for the visuals.[1] [1]: http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail.html

Agreed. He should provide a graphical solution to every example given. It's distressing that none are given, not even then ignore-exception piece. That's the brilliance of Bret Victor's essays: he posits the idea, bringing you along in the

That was basically my point. It would be strange if they _stopped_ processing it.

Somewhat meta, but this would be one where showing subdomain on HN submissions would be nice. The title is vague enough that I assumed it was something to do with _Github_ not processing Emoji (which would be sort of a strange state of affa

Thanks for the quick feedback, and for giving an alternative option. But it doesn't do what I need: show the word _before_ I finish the previous word. I look at the next word as I'm typing the current word (something like: parse word, start

It works well and looks nice, but part of typing quickly is seeing the next word in advance so I know what to start typing after the space. Your app doesn't show me those words, so I have to hite space-bar and then wait some time before I k

It was randomly delayed for me as well (granted I'm using Chromium v20...). That (and the otherwise mentioned skipping to the next word erratically... and the not explaining visually how errors are handled) made it nearly useless to me. I w

Besides tailored customer support interactions, this is useful for characterizing cohorts. You would use aggregates to identify customer groups and interesting business insights -- 'one geographic region produces more order completions than

Thanks for the link! It's fairly interesting, too. That citation specifically reads: 'Erroneously used in reference to metaphors, hyperbole, etc., even by writers like Dryden and Pope, to indicate "what follows must be taken in the stronges

Evidence, citations? Not at all obvious. On the surface, looks quite real. And I've had enough touch-screen devices to know that mis-calibration is common, so it's plausible.

Curious why such a specific time period. Is there a source for 1680s? The 17th century would probably be sufficient otherwise.

My guess was that he wrote the article yesterday, but didn't publish it until today. It's not a big deal, was just curious.

Am I? Not snark: if I'm misunderstanding this, I truly want to know. I'm in central US, CST, and the article gives PST. That conversion has always just been +2 hours.

I'm in this camp. To me, 'literally' has only one meaning. If it doesn't, the word loses all utility. He could say 'is essentially the glue', I suppose.

Since I use DuckDuckGo for searches, I probably wouldn't notice this. Not receiving Gmail for a while wouldn't be noteworthy (at least for the first half hour or so). I'm confused about the times the author gives, though. The article is dat

Is the crux of that argument that sourcing the funding would put at risk people who might support a candidate's causes, but whose safety might be compromised by identification? It is an honest question; I haven't followed that case closely.

Considering I don't even know what that phrase means, I will say 'no'. I'm curious, too, what level of schooling you mean: grade (K-12) or university. I have lived in the US my entire life and went through public school. I'll vouch that cri
