I know it's mindboggling, but really there aren't. This is one thing that Westerners typically don't get about the Communist-bloc countries, or don't seem to care. Whereas in average the standard of living was always muc

Indeed. It could, and it still can.

I don't see that as a failure. It did produce a sentence that is shorter, grammatical (though "named to head" is a bit weird) and essentially true — calling Google an "internet company" would make sense in its early

Besides all points presented in other replies, two other problems with the movie come to mind: * They presented Turing's characacter as the generic caricature of the pedantic genius, kind of like The Big Bang Theory's Sheldon. Oth

I love LyX! The end-result of good looking LaTeX documents, without (most of [1]) the pain. I recently adapted a colleague's document from LaTeX and it was simply easier to redraw a slightly complex table in LyX than to understand the

On tree view (F5), you can collapse and expand sub-trees (with "+" and "-", or just click twice on them).

They look denser (could add two "lines" per character), but wouldn't be able to change the colors of these lines individually. Having said that, we use braille charecters when in "Graph" mode (F2 Setup > Meters &

Really? Recent versions shouldn't take more than 10 lines for 40 cores. It displays them in 4 columns.

Thanks! Always nice when we help to make people's perceptions of places less unidimensional. Brazil is not only a place with rainforests, we also have coders! :) (Though, even though I'm a (Southern) Brazilian myself, I used to th

Tree view is sorted by pid only, sorry. I'm afraid moving entire subtrees based on other criteria (such as CPU%) would make the screen unbearably jumpy.

Interesting! Do you happen to have the link for that project?

My domain is not immediately obvious as an URL: hisham.hm (also my username in many places, or variants of it, like @hisham_hm). Sometimes I do need to make it more obvious that it's an URL (e.g. when printed, or on presentation slides

If you are in a context where you are concerned about "privileged vs. unprivileged" code, you have to sandbox way more than that, and Lua provides you many mechanisms to control that (more than any other mainstream scripting langu

"Soda companies" are already moving to controlling water supply in many countries. In Brazil, it's already hard to find in some stores water which is not owned by either Coca-Cola or Nestlé.

How about real fruit juice? Much healthier. Minute Maid is owned by Coca-Cola, anyways.

Hi, htop author here: this brought a smile to my face! Wondering if I should do the same in htop's own website. Would be fun to follow the activity spike when the new major release comes later this year! Major kudos to the author for t

Since you pointed out that Lua strings are immutable you're aware of what I'm about to say, but just to make it explicit: The efficiency argument is a common one for symbols in general, but in Lua it doesn't really hold becau
