Thanks for mentioning Songkick, I just registered there and looks like a good service overall. Reminds me of some of the last.fm functionality I was using in the past for that matter. What its still missing, is support for the functionality

Nice service to get an initial overview. I am a regular festival-goer, but I prefer to go to more "underground"-ish festival (for the lack of a better word). Those festivals don't necessarily want to be easily discoverable (i

You are right about that, I lived in Trier, a German town next to the border to Luxembourg. A lot of people in the area went there just to fill their tanks (gas is around 20 cent less per liter) and stock up on cigarettes and coffee.

Like a Universal Health Care you could have a "Universal Law Care", a per se legal costs insurance for every natural person. You might have to pay low fares measured in daily rates calculated from your rate of income/wealth f

That is already there :) Only one of the three servers allows bots.

Halite also looks interesting, but I think with generals bot-makers will have much more possibilities, because there are no limitations for your implementation. The game mechanics might also a little more challenging in generals, especially

This will be super interesting. I think this game makes very much sense as an intermediate frontier on the road to a StarCraft AI. Here are my reasons: * The playing field is relatively limited, just a little larger than Go. This makes it m

I don't agree. From Cologne you can stay on the Autobahn/Schnellstraße pretty much until you reach the Grohmann front-door. I think that's a much better kind of commute for reading/sleeping than going through urban traff

It depends on the kind of people you want. Even if the town is "remote" if seen by German proportions, it is still only an hours drive away from the next major cities and the countryside is very rural and beautiful. It's true

This just made my jaw literally drop. Not only is Prüm my former hometown (of roughly 5000 people), but I actually worked at Grohmann at holidays and as a part-timer during my school and student days. This place is filled with prototypical

This looks interesting at first glance, but to be honest, I don't fully get it from the description. Is it some kind of Storm/CEP/Graphite combination? Where does the actual "processing" happen? Do you have rent add

I really like the music on your Soundcloud! Would you share your current hard- and software setup?

The sounds are great by themselves, but I had the most fun layering different generators by opening several tabs. I played around with the EQ and made something sounding very close to Biosphere with 4 parallel tabs. It really felt like the

Here is my trick for this: I use an individual email address for each signup I do, in the form of <signupdomain.com>@mydomain.com. By that way, when I get spam, I don't only know the spams source, but I can block it with only one

Which stream are you using exactly. Are you applying any filters? Afaik the complete firehose has restricted access, or did that change? Edit: very cool visualization btw. What are you using exactly on the backend for stream processing?

A really good framework built around ZeroMQ is Storm, which does exactly that: https://github.com/nathanmarz/storm

Mahout & EMR is a powerful combination and I can also recommend boto library for managing it. If you are using these together, be sure to use hadoop version 0.20 when running a jobflow. If you are dealing with explicit data, like star r

The nice thing about them is that they are very short and so you can try a lot of different strategies, but there were also long scripts like Mule DNA. I think this is a great way to teach kids the basics of addressing and low level program

Thank you for the recommendation. Some of my tasks are language specific, so I would like to find people capable of speaking a certain language.
