I like what I see in Digital Ocean's offers and will be most likely choosing them the next time I need a host. Are there any catches to look out for?

As a hobby pianist trying to relearn some music, I was looking at Denemo, Frescobaldi, etc the other day. But I ultimately realized that I prefer a simple text based solution, because I can use a text editor rather than learning a complicat

Their top of the line Nexus 10 has issues which they are not able to fix. They are shipping a crippled version of KitKat on Nexus 10 because of a graphics driver issue!

But the cost of installing Java is spread across several apps. So the cost is negligible over time. It is like saying, if I build a web-app, the user needs to first install the browser. True, but once installed, other web-apps have a zero c

I like App-Engine and now that there are open-source, API compatible alternatives, there is no lock-in to worry about either. The biggest drawback for App Engine is lack of async support. The only ways to scale are: multiple-threads (slow)

But then that could be handled by the compatibility layer.

What I would love is an app that does this locally, without sending my data to the cloud. I would readily pay a good deal for it. Better than my information being sold to advertising agencies and their cronies.

To avoid the slippery slope, couldn't there be a jury system that could decide the genuineness and applicability of a case of euthanasia? Leaving it only in the hands of a single person, be it the patient, or doctor or relative is boun

I read it twice and I don't see any such suggestion in the article. Rather it cites a study that actually suggests the opposite: > Forty per cent of high-rise dwellers felt lonely, almost twice the number (22 per cent) living in det

You are conflating loneliness (the feeling) with isolation (the physical separation).

+1 for travel. I took to travel a couple of years back and it worked wonders. So much in fact that I had to cut back on travel and all the friends that I had accumulated. It started taking too much of time (though I enjoyed it).

More than the early adopters, I am more worried about the unfair advantage that the creators of Bitcoin enjoy. IIRC, just one individual already owns ~25% of all bitcoins that will ever be mined!

Wasn't comet McNaught a nice spectacle from southernly latitudes? I don't recall exactly when (before or after perihelion), but I remember hearing some talk about it.

I am not sure this comet deserves the title of "comet of the century" just yet, but it is still an interesting exercise to observe the comet. (Shameless Plug) If you need help to observe the comet, my Android app [1] just recently

Wouldn't a match with an open-source engine be unfair? The competing close-source engine could embed the opponents source inside it to predict the exact moves that the opponent would make, thus gaining a speed advantage. Even more inte

The only drawback I see with pumped-storage hydroelectric plants is that there could loss of stored energy due to evaporation. I don't know how much loss does it amount to on a sunny day.

That's a great site! The "like bar" works fine on your site, however, it still doesn't work for the suggested videos that come up after watching a video. Guess there's nothing that you can do about it though. Still

by hrjet 13y ago
Another problem with the "suggested videos list" is: there is no quick way to know how many people liked (or disliked) the suggested video, and their suggestion algorithm doesn't take that into account!! There are often video

Those are fair questions. Just want to point out that not all of them might be hiding (closed source).

I love myself some vim whenever I get the chance, but to me, it is not auto-completion that is the killer feature of IDEs; rather, it is the immediate error checking that I get as I type code.
