I think that's basically what SC1/BW did. There was a professional game last year[1] where one player (Jaedong, probably the best Zerg at the end of BW) had one unit blocking a ramp in his base, and something like 30 hydralisks stacked up b

Not OP but my feeling is that none of the git GUIs are particularly good or feature complete and I usually end up having to drop to a command line if I want to do anything interesting. That said, I really like `gitg` for its tree view and g

I think you're right and the guy you replied to misspoke. Xen running Windows is called HVM which seems to be distinct from paravirtualization.

I think this is really a fine response considering the pretty terrible way the original post was written and the community responded. The simulation was a bit of a stretch because the supposed number of servers you need to achieve "equivale

I'd just like to add that they enabled it by default for cars they lend to media outlets for reviews after the Top Gun thing. Some people in the other thread were freaking out about how much Tesla knows about your car but a regular customer

Working pretty great for me on my Ubuntu+AMD desktop. Laptop is a clusterfuck of drivers though, Linux switchable graphics support sucks :( Edit: Though I haven't tried anything too fancy yet, just FTL and Bastion. So maybe 3D gaming might

Eh, I think the PR2 beta program institutions ended up buying the PR2s, although probably at a discount from the sticker price of $400k. I worked in one of the research labs that had one and we ended up buying it recently at a pretty steep

This is a flaw in libcURL, and last I checked wget was just a binary, not a cross platform library.

Eh, it's not like porting to Android has any bearing on porting to desktop Linux since the UI toolkits are completely different. I guess this would be cool, but I'd be surprised if many people used it over LibreOffice.

Did you work with Kris Pister by any chance?

It'd be interesting if you could just apply CSS to title attributes rather than have to add stuff to the DOM to reimplement a basic browser feature. Certainly these types of tooltip libraries look and behave better, but I wonder if it's rea

Especially when a lot of sites include their name at the beginning of the title, I just end up with a lot of tabs titled things like Comm.. and Hack.. etc. When I use Firefox I use Tree Style Tabs so it's not a problem but with Chrome there

Err, why use VNC instead of just using a local browser in desktop mode?

Yeah, these days Asus makes great routers while Linksys has languished.

I agree, a nice shiny app store with icons could be a great feature for Github users and developers using their APIs. Right now service hooks are pretty buried in the settings panel.

I am definitely extremely shy (in person), but I think I'm also very introverted but wish I wasn't.

by ibrahima 14y ago
Honestly, I consider myself extremely introverted, and I do all those things to avoid talking to people, but I kind of wish I didn't. I actually like random people talking to me about random things.

Actually, this is kind of funny, because last semester they ran their intro to circuits class as a "flipped classroom" of the edX 6.002x Intro to Circuits class. I guess they're trying to get a foot in all camps :) (I happened to be somewha

I've had much the same problem as a TA as well. It's really painful having to go back to correct a few scores and sometimes I think I probably still missed something. I actually made a web application for grading exams which alleviates this

Ah, this is interesting, since he's probably one of the few people outside of Google with the credentials to actually comment on something like this. It still seems hard to quantify "UI jank" but I'm glad he's looking into it. I had dismiss

Meh I see it in a lot of C++ code too. I don't understand it, especially from people who use an IDE so they shouldn't be typing those full names out anyway.

I remember when Android's market had a similarly terrible search for years, which I thought was funnier considering it was Google and all (although I think their usual algorithms don't work nearly as well for apps that don't really have nat

Incidentally, are you the wintermute that was involved in DS homebrew way back when? (I recently started reading HN again and I keep seeing you pop up).

Well, you're right to some extent, but it also means that if Intel were to use their R&D might to engineer an x86 mobile chip that (for instance) is twice as fast as an ARM chip with the same power consumption, it would be in the next t

Just a quick script I threw together because I was annoyed with having to open a new page to see the diff of a commit from the log view. Quick way to get an anchor that you can just add to your bookmarks: http://jsfiddle.net/zdJ9f/embedded
