I have to say, I love that default behaviour. Too many newer command line programms need some obscure option to make them write to stdout. Some let you replace the filename with a dash but too many of them don't follow that standard, s

I'm mad at myself for not managing to figure this out myself. I guess i made more assumptions about the limitations than there were in the description of the problem.

You should do that. I'd probably use it.

This article says nothing about compensation for heavy R&D costs. It doesn't concern itself with develpment and production costs at all. It is just describing ways in which consumers can be manipulated into spending the highest amo

Yes, amount of Labor doesn't always determine value. But this article isn't really about value, is it? It's about pricing.

Is it me or are marketing people and economists just incapable of not sounding like scumbags? The "trap" that is the Labor Theory of Value may not be the most profitable but maybe it's the most ethical, both compensating the

Love the idea. But the link always leads to a page with the file on it, not the file itself. Specially for picture sharing that's not really acceptable for me.

Same here. What happened to me is, instead of asking myself "Is this a prime number?" I kept starting to ask myself "Can this number be expressed as a multiplication of two other numbers?" for which the answers are obvi

Highly disagree with the author. Not everyone who learns to code needs to go on to become a software developer or engineer. I actually really like the idea of coding being another skill like sewing, cooking or arts and crafts. Something tha

Looks neat, but recently I discovered farbfeld[1] and I think I'll be sticking with that for the time being. I'm starting to believe data-specific compression algorithms are the wrong way to go. [1] http://tools.suckless

There is actually no such thing as a gifv "file format". gifv is just a html page with an embedded webm or mp4 file that hides the standard controls and loops automatically.

It's interesting to see how defensive people get if anyone suggests not drinking isn't that big of a deal, even in this thread.

>Google Inc. nurtured YouTube into a cultural phenomenon What? No. Youtube was huge before Google bought it. They bought it because they couldn't compete with it. I'd even go as far as to say that youtube kept growing despite G

I feel like the author completely ignores the simplest answer to wether or not it's ok to call their uncle. Just use the exact same process they would use now. Instead of "It's that time for him" he would think "I

The problem with all approaches to machine learning I see today is that they only focus on grouping and separating concepts based on certain characteristics. They seem to be all fundamentally statistical. None of them seem to work towards a

Maybe it's just me but I find the hamburger menu in the top right , now that firefox has one of those themeselves in a similar place, kind of unpleasing. I also miss all the colours and I prefer when search buttons are actual buttons i

So he prefers rapid growth, with the risk of the whole thing becomming a bubble instead of the stability that results from a slow build of users and developer support? That doesn't put a lot of confidence in me either.

I hope to see some replication of this. It sounds like they just looked through the numbers for patterns, instead of making a prediction beforehand and then trying to falsify it. That's fine but there needs to be replication for that k

What if they show ads based on the focus of the site instead of information about the user?

Are there any ad networks that don't track the people looking at your site? That would be a valuable feature to me.
