"Tech" is far too broad a term to be a legitimate field. I presume you don't really claim to speak for all technology-based industries.

You make WMI sound long-winded, but do you think 'cat /process/uptime' is free? There's a lot involved in opening a file.

Perhaps more words and fewer symbols.

And if you ever needed to manually patch in an easy-to-remember NOP, 0x00000000 was ANDEQ R0, R0, R0.

This was part of the beauty of ARM when I learned it as a teenager back in the early 90s. Very simple and elegant, and writing ARM code by hand was enjoyable. Coming back to ARM now, though, in this form of Cortex-M microcontrollers, I see

To show it without a BBC Micro seems like a huge oversight, too. The Beeb was hugely influential in the UK in the 1980s -- every school had them.

So DO doesn't charge you up front?

I'm not sure what the author is trying to say regarding billing. Both Linode and Digital Ocean bill monthly, and both only charge you for the part of the month that your VPS exists for. He seems to be implying that if you have a Linode

When did you start doing remote, and what made you change your mind? (After the first CtF I got a nice handwritten note saying that I seemed a good fit for Stripe. I would have applied, but at the time you said you don't do remote.) Lo

Interesting. Do you do remote? (I do C++, C, Javascript, Python, SQL, ARM assembly and microcontrollers.)

Starbucks might not brew beer, but there are plenty of brewers who use coffee in their beers, so the likelihood of confusion isn't that small.

__attribute__((packed)) in GCC is probably worth mentioning if you only want to apply it to selected structs.

I was disappointed this wasn't something that would help me sing in tune.

Linux. I think the most recent example (by which I mean about two years ago; I don't use Perl much) was trying to get the XML Signature modules to build. I gave up in the end. The documentation for those was poor. I remember the docume

I think Americans will cope. There are towns in the US called Intercourse.

Maybe, for the modules that build and actually have useful documentation. That seemed to me to be depressingly uncommon.

I have the same problem some days. I think we're addicted to the thrill of reading something unusually interesting or that happens to give us information pertinent to our current needs. But as you say, that seems to happen less now, so

If you dislike buzzwords, don't use them. Calling IFTTT "cloud-based" adds nothing over calling it "online" or "a web site". It might use the cloud, or it might know exactly where its servers are, but that

What worries me is that whatever regulations the FAA come up with will suit Amazon just fine, but will put drones out of reach of hobbyists.

What is your end goal with this?

I feel like I'm missing something obvious here, but how do I actually get this?

How hard is it to understand? It's an iPad stylus.

So you're calling for the suppression of minority opinions?

A little off on Chrome for Linux, though. http://i.imgur.com/sC0xuy9.png

How are they deciding who has to have a suffix, then, if there's no +MatthewSimoneau already? I got +DanEllis no problem.

But how many updates will it get before it's not supported any more? I got a Galaxy Nexus last year (from Google at I/O, in fact), and it's already unsupported in that it isn't getting KitKat.

by danellis 13y ago
A PCB of that size would be about $30 at OSH Park. Hardly a "huge upfront cost".

by danellis 13y ago
What?? The whole point of getting a Nexus device is that, unlike a carrier phone, it's not supposed to get left behind by updates!

> the unreleased Gen2 Google Glasses, which project the image directly in your field of vision Where did you get that idea from? The pictures of the gen 2 Google Glass look almost identical to the gen 1, with the prism and all.
