Backblaze "B2" is a separate service for blob storage with a REST API. It's currently in public beta. I presume its built on the same infrastructure. You can store about 10GB for free if you want to play around with it. (ba

Yeah, Google did that for a short time. I used to use it to filter out content farms. They've gotten better at filtering content farms since then, and dropped the feature - probably because it was too expensive resource-wise to persona

Yeah, it looks like there is a switch granting photo access to siri on the 6s. This doesn't show up on my iPhone6 with 9.3.1.

If I remember right, this generates a number that is probably prime. :)

My wife and kid are pretty happy with Annie's. Might be worth trying if you're looking for another brand. (The only stuff I eat these days is homemade, typically gruyère-based, but we keep Annie's on hand in case we don'

For many of our reports, we've been using FOP (Apache's XSL-FO implementation). It's an XML format, similar to HTML, with stuff like page masters to help with layout. We generate the XML with a velocity template, feed it in

We use FOP for document-shaped stuff, and it's worked out pretty well for us. But I could see using SVG when you want a single page with complex layout (esp. rotated text, etc.) For an invoice with a couple of fields filled in, you cou

it can be a pain to rewrite that into rst. If you just want to rewrite markdown into rst, "pandoc" will do the trick.

The passcode is run through a key generation function, PBKDF2, to turn it into an AES256 key, which is then used to unwrap filesystem keys that protect any files marked as only available "when unlocked" or "after first unlock

It starts up under 50MB with the built in notebook. Scrolling around between notes (with images) and starting a new notebook, I managed to get it up to 150MB (and then back down, so no strong evidence of memory leaks). Not a huge deal to m

It's mostly consumption, but there are some opportunities for creativity. For example, "Hopscotch" - http://www.gethopscotch.com - looks promising. It's a visual programming language (plug and socket) with gr

Another one: The second result in a query for "Rogan Josh" is "Jeremy Clarkson" a Person of "Top Gear" fame. Digging up the freebase record doesn't show any obvious reason why this would happen.

I use jq for exploring and light massaging of json data, but for complicated tasks I just write python code. I misunderstood what your library did. jq doesn't cover that - as far as I know, there are no recursive constructs in jq.

You might be interested in "jq", a python program that provides an expression language for extracting and transforming json data: https://stedolan.github.io/jq/

It's a lovely game, but yeah, it's short. When it originally came out, I compensated by only allowing myself one level per night at bedtime. The original game is 10 levels. Later, there was an in app purchase for an additional 8

This is my three-year-old's favorite game. (He only gets iPad time on the weekends.) He currently can complete a half dozen levels or so by himself. I suspect a lot of it is rote memorization, but I hope the game is helping to develo

I'm surprised they have my Interact on there. I thought it was a fairly rare machine.

The actual license agreement (§3.3.2) provides an exception for scripts executed by JavascriptCore or WebKit. (The summary document that was quoted above doesn't appear to mention that exception.) That said, it can be really fuzzy whe

He used "Scrivener (2.60.5)" to write that one. (Run pdfinfo on the file to see this.) My understanding is that they're not crazy picky about what you use to write the script as long as the output on paper/PDF is in hol

A recent WSJ article suggests that the recent price increases in ebooks have caused both the drop in sales of ebooks and a drop in overall revenue for the publishers. http://www.wsj.com/articles/e-book-sales-weaken

I downloaded and played with IE for Solaris, but I didn't use it for day to day browsing. One interesting thing that I recall from it was that it had .so files that corresponded to each of the windows DLLs. So it looked like they had

Interesting, I didn't realize they claimed XML was an SGML subset. I thought you couldn't express XML empty tags in an SGML DTD.

I usually use "pdftotext -layout" and write python or perl code to handle the table extraction. If I need more detailed formatting information, I use "pdftohtml -xml -fullfontname" and process the resulting xml.

The frequent Yosemite beachballs seem to only occur on systems with old-school hard drives. It's nowhere near as bad on SSD systems. It's crazy frustrating on my iMac, but my macbook pro is fine. So I suspect the changes and addit

If the document were html, something like epubcfi might work better than regular expressions. This is what the epub people are recommending for a similar use case - sharing highlights and notes in epub books whose content may be updated. F

I'm reluctant to post a PDF because of the copyright, but I'd recommend running the ps file through "pkfix" before converting to PDF. (This will replace the bitmap fonts with outline fonts.)

Google does it with Inbox. They have Java business logic that they cross-compile to Javascript on the web, ObjC on iOS, and run as-is on Android. The respective UIs are done natively on the respective platforms. (Surprisingly, they do no

On Unix, (OSX and I believe Linux, too) the man page for the tm structure specifies that tm_sec ranges from 0-60, so it does support 61 second minutes. I think this has been the case for a while. I recall noticing this years ago.

Which gives us 480,000 ounces of coke in 1950 vs 505,000 ounces of coke in 2015. A 5.2% increase in the amount of coke you can buy for a year's salary. (I'm actually kinda surprised the price is that stable.)
