This is really slick. I never knew about (the now defunct) text2mindmap.com, but it seems like something I would get a lot of use out of for doing quick brainstorming sessions. Thanks for sharing!

This is a major gripe I have with the modern service/subscription-based economy. I give major props to companies that reward loyalty. IntelliJ, for example, offers discounted rates the longer you've been subscribed. It works for t

From the "obituary": > In light of CTS’s discoveries, the meteoric rise of AMD’s stock price now appears to be totally unjustified and entirely unsustainable. Meteoric rise? Are we watching the same stock? AMD has been flat&#x2

I broke the (foot activated) parking break or my wife's old car by doing this...slamming on it like it was a clutch. She's never let me live that one down.

This is insanely impressive. Great work. Wish tools like this existed when I was still in school...almost makes me want to go back and do some more math :)

The rates have been steadily going up since that time, though. It makes sense that you would see a gradual ramp up in a drastic change like ths. I don't have sources to back this up, but here's some thoughts: * Gradual changes in

Really glad to see ReMarkable getting some love. E-ink is such a promising technology. I pre-ordered this and overall have been thrilled with it. I've loved my Kindle for years but had always wanted a device big enough to read full-siz

They want to push their expensive enterprise cards (Tesla series) which are exempt from this rule (applies only to "GeForc" cards) and they are probably getting ready to push their own ML service with their own datacenters.

Bitcoin, as it was originally envisioned, IS dead. It's not a replacement for cash. It's prohibitively expensive to use for regular transactions. It's also a colossal waste of energy. It's become similar to stocks/E

The fact that the table is in image is just lazy web development - which is pretty disappointing coming from a major company like Amazon. I understand this isn't a major client-facing site, but it would still be nice to put some effort

I work part time with a friend refurbishing retired business machines and re-selling them online. We get a LOT of Thinkpads obviously, but the T520 is an especially common machine and man is it awesome. Easy to clean, easy to repair, great

Those are US emissions only. What about China? India? The EU? As you can also see from that report, 30% of emissions come from electricity generation. If we all switch to EVs, expect that % from consumer vehicles to just flip to electricity

Consumer gas vehicle make up a TINY fraction of the cause of greenhouse emissions worldwide. Everyone changing to EVs isn't going to fix anything, especially when that electrical power can come from dirty power plants. The big changes

Definitely. The content seems to be there, but this would really benefit from some copy-editing. From just skimming through a few chapters I can completely understand what the author is saying but the grammar is jarring and pulls me out of

I find it interesting that people in this thread are quick to point out that you might not save much money when you move to the suburbs because of transit and extra time costs. I think people are failing to realize a large people do (and I

It's happening at virtually every large state school with many foreign students. The schools let them get away with it because of the absurd amount of $$$ they pay to go to school here. It's become a serious source of revenue for

I like to think they stick with the 6-inch size because it's roughly the same size as a mass-market paperback book, which everyone is used to holding and reading from, and they fit in just about any size bag.

io.js merged back in to node.js, and since they were so far ahead in version number, node jumped to 4.0 from 0.12.x. https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v4.0.0/

I haven't read more than a few bits of Tanenbaum's book so I can't give a direct comparison, sorry.

I had Remzi for two courses at UW, one of them being Operating Systems. He's the best professor I've ever had, and this book is an amazing tool for learning the basics of an Operating System. It's a quick read, and I would re

It's the same reason many people come to hate Windows and switch to the "pure, friendly, easy" OSX. They buy whatever laptop was recommended to them at Best Buy and have to deal with all of that preinstalled malware that make
