Please tell us what sources you follow that provide you with (a) comparably lucid ideas and (b) not only that, but also in a shorter, clearer form. I for one want to follow them too if they really exist.

The idea is great and interesting, but the execution is poor. Kingdoms should keep their color and not jump randomly. Also there are huge inaccuracies: Navarre was only conquered by Spain in 1512, after Castille and Aragon had merged into S

I am so fed up with spaniards complaining about this (I'm a spaniard myself). Let me rephrase the rule: if you pay 250 EUR / month, you get full health coverage in the public system, which is amazingly good. How does this sound

In Spain the same as that, or even more so. That's 45MM people at a single strike.

It doesn't really "break" so much as it shows the sum of partially overlapping entries, natural since they dont fit in 4 digits.

I built ViEmu and I use it very often, not every day right now, but I come back to using it every day when I'm working on something using VS/Xcode/SQLServer/Word.

I'm turning 40 next week and I haven't been in a situation like that, but I've been in many kinds of situations. If you expect human beings to act rationally, to stay true to their vows no matter what, to actually know why th

I'm turning 40 next week. I think my oldest code online is from '93-'95: graphic demos and a packet-driver-based program that turned a regular PC with two network cards into a bridge (saving a lot of money in the process...).

I recently wrote a game from scratch in one week over at my blog ( http://jonbho.net ). In C, and the source code is available. Still pending to revamp the design and publish it, hope to do so in the next few weeks.

Congrats on your service and success, and thanks for sharing. I'm offering training in games development, and your model looks interesting. Do you spend much time editing the videos? It seems like doing that must be a huge effort, even

I don't see the name of the manufacturer for the display or SSD in "About this Mac". Am I missing something?

It's distributed on a very per-country basis. WhatsApp is used by over 90% of people in Spain, to the detriment of others. It shows how the success of this kind of thing depends more on network effects than on product quality - only on

This doesn't add up at all. If it's about usage data, they would be buying Flurry in a heartbeat. I'd bet the acquisition is more about a huge challenge Facebook faces, which hasn't had a good engineering solution for ye

Catalan at source is probably as different to Spanish as French or Italian are. But probably, centuries of stronger influence have induced more similarities: most people in Catalonia are bilingual. Especially for those who don't speak

ViEmu does support cf" (I would know, since I wrote it). It means "change up to and including the next double quote", which is indeed classic vi, and supported by any non-trivial vi/vim emulator. I would guess the author

Frankly, Penrose's thesis that consciousness stems from the quantum effects in microtubules, and the pseudo-"proof" based on a scammy reductio-ad-absurdum showing that consciousness can not be a computable function, are one o

Great Saturday morning news, I've finally able to run my new iOS app on my iPhone! I had to accept new T&C before getting certificates/provisioning-profiles, and this has been impossible for weeks.

I don't think you know. 1h of running could double the productivity of the hours you put in afterwards. And, most probably, the issue stems from product/strategy decisions. Not from spending 1h a day running and clearing his body

If you are trying to compile the software with a new compiler, then you are changing the environment. And then it's expected that you may need to change things. Software has the most complex interfaces between parts, and it's near

I love this kind of thinking. We are often missing a real clear understanding of even major things in software. Questions like "Why does software development take so much time", "Why can only developers write software',

The same that distributed VCS systems liberated development from a single point of failure, this protocol allows any computer to become responsible of acting as "the always-on server". Now you can use a Dropbox-like thing paying someone els
