You are very much mistaken on that one. Those consensus meetings can not decide anything against the will of the users. In fact bitcoin core would hard fork bitcoin if miners agreed to mine too big blocks and nobody could dictate the users

Isn't it beautiful how OpenSource is the joker card of the underdogs? Google played it with Android against Apple, too. In 2007 I did my diploma work based on AMD GPU cause it was better. In 2011/12 AMD was the standard for Bitcoi

As a tech fan, an on-off switch is too simple. I want to be able to adjust the brightness and "color" like the volume of my stereo. I never put my stereo to 100% because we figured out long ago how to do affordable loud speakers t

Yeah, like 15 years ago I was on a legal seminary about how to deal with private messages at work. It's difficult. If you allow your employees to use certain means of communication for private messages, you bar yourself from reading th

Heart-warming story but too much praise for the government for my taste. What are the opportunity costs of not shutting down this platform years ago? And of getting the train delayed by 40s twice a day for who knows how many passengers plus

For all the GPL-hate in this thread: GPL protects this specific implementation and not the algorithm. Even if the authors released this under GPL, this would only be a minor nuisance to getting this unicorn into all kind of products via re-

As long as you don't directly work with FLIF, cause tools don't support it, having the file browser's preview-feature work using FLIF would be awesome. This way it doesn't need to store n previews for the supported previ

Also no more .thumbnails folders I imagine images appearing as fast as I can scroll, with enough visual clue to them to find images way way more quickly than with thumbnails today. As a start, thumbnails could use flif.

Interesting. How long between last and first meal? (Apart from the individual case not being representative.)

I guess it's trivial what you say about calorie deficit but the trick is how to not devour that tasty something that you know is there in your fridge when your plan to eat less for a few seconds is only your second priority. Humans get

Oh, mercurial was my old love but due to peer pressure I'm now a git user. Always liked hg better and so happy to hear it's still vibrant :)

Lol. Funny to read you are in my situation 3 years back. Had joined a team where I did not at all trust that one guy but the others were ok. They asked me to join on an equal share basis and asked me to lead the dev team in Chile and reloca

A good product should support small and large groups and being a part of a small group can be valuable but I disagree that you can coin the adoption numbers of diaspora in any sense as a success. Diaspora might be a success on the software

seriously, he throws around terms that bring up video games on google but no "planting bots" from 1970.

When I saw Gish for the first time, I thought the same but I bet they fake a lot of physics.

Well, I was precisely interested if it could be modeled with a chain. Otherwise thank you for you pointers.

As I'm doing my first serious projects in JS now, I'm thankful for the article and the simplifying corrections here. Java.this != JS.this

Well, a game that only occasionally gets your attention is kind of less fun than one that gets your every day every hour attention, all other aspects aside. If you do this for profit, you will not run a game that gets the user's attent

I love that you are working on this and hope for great success. I have doubts though. I worked on http://www.globulation2.org which also has some higher level of command interaction. "No micro management" is one of its

The biggest list of learning apps, many of which do support SRS is http://www.flashcardapps.info/ It's iOS only but my point is to show how there is a huge variety even for iOS users. I did my own free SRS flashcards a

The best code is the code you don't have to write. I like these short cuts and I played and lost a game against this beauty after reading the code. He did not use any chess-specific libs. Just pure and simple python. I am proud to not

it's most likely important to check the signatures of the key. But yeah, this is one aspect where I always look confused about the security theater. You need a closed chain of trust (which can include a trusted root CA). Else it's
