Off topic, but just so you know -- dogs are colorblind (as compared to us) in that they have a more limited perception of color, but they don't just see black and white (and shades of gray)! http://www.psychologytoday.com&#x

Yeah, you're running up against https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=137692 (which appears to finally be closing in on a point where it can be fixed?)

From reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Ara#Development I'm not sure it's fair or accurate to say they "seemingly picked up the PhoneBloks project."

Oh, that's great news! Unfortunately I'm on other projects now and likely won't have a chance to reevaluate in the short term, but I'd like to take a look at some point. GnuTLS was not the most pleasant API to use, but i

We evaluated PolarSSL at FoundationDB while adding TLS support to our 2.0 release. In the end I think our primary deciding factor was a lack of support for hardware accelerated AES-GCM using AES-NI and PCLMUL on modern hardware, although I

If nothing else it's an indictment of the weird beta-but-not-really-beta that famo.us has spent so much time in, given that this isn't the first time I've seen people assume that it was a three.js demo that inspired the famo.

If you visit your own link and then click on the "info" link at the top, you'll be taken to a G+ post explaining that the three.js periodic table demo was an attempt to recreate something the author had seen. Written in famo.

I want to be careful not to imply that I'm passing judgement on your feelings, or implying that they're invalid, because I certainly have my moments where I'm a little creeped out by Google Now as well. But I do want to push

They call themselves a framework, though, not a CMS. And you've compared it to Django, which really is a framework, not a CMS. What part of Django would you say it is most directly comparable to?

Yes, but you have to work a little bit for it. If your rule that builds .o files from .c/.cpp files uses the one of the dependency-generating flags to GCC (options beginning with -M), GCC will create an alternate or additional (dependi

Without getting in the middle of this, I'd just point out that you're both right -- roughly 38k rent controlled units, about one million rent stabilized units. Apparently there's a difference! http://www.housingnyc

The fact that these bugs were so trivially reproduced and made it into an initial release at all should be cause for concern. Conflict of interest disclosure -- I work for FoundationDB, where we put a shockingly high level of effort into te

PHP and .NET are the clear front-runners when we asked this question on our community site, so while I can't commit to any specific timeline, it's safe to say we'll be adding them soon.

Thanks for reminding me to question my assumptions and think about my perspective. I'm going to have to ask around and try to get a sense of how some of my decidedly non-technical friends and family members view Google, search engines, etc.
