Use VIPS ( http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk/index.php?title=VIPS ) for large TIFF conversion. It should handle them much, much faster. Also, I think there was a write-up on highscalability.com about instagram, or pinterest, or

I get a pretty good number of notifications per day, and my pebble only lasts about 3-4 days.

Now I just need one of these that sources from stores that actually carry my size. Pretty sure my fat butt would be turned away at the doors of Uniqlo or H&M.

Agreed. Let the user create the poll, get all set up, then ask for the registration. That way the user has some ownership and will be more willing to part with their email address.

Won't the birds just eventually go around the solar farm. Just like they eventually learn not to eat the poisonous berries, and not to get caught by house cats?

This whole article feels like the author is trying to pull something from nothing. House-poor seems like a stretch. I would suggest a more plausible theory: people, in general, just aren't that creative, especially when it comes to int

This would be great for us. Various parts of our stack are spread around so many different platforms, and this could really take the grunt work out of that. Not to mention removing the need of dealing with fifteen various shoddy interfaces.

I'm in the process of recording my grandpa talking about his life. He actually doesn't say much about the bottom of the can. Basically that he went back to his shop and sketched out some ideas based on the technical specs he knew

Hehe, he was also part of the group that worked on the extrusion process for Reynolds. He owned a company in Minnesota and there were hired to come in and work on it with them. He's got a lot of great process stories like this. I'

My grandpa designed the bottom of modern beverage cans. The reason for that shape is two-fold. First, the bulge is for pressure resistance. Second, the rest of the design was created specifically for the optimal application of the epoxy spr

I am in the southeast US, and it happened on both mobile and desktop. It got especially bad a few months ago (give or take).

I've had trouble with Trulia's image serving for the past several months. It seems like their images just take forever to load, to the point that I switched back to Zillow.

I listened to Sami Inkinen talk about how proud he was that Trulia was the underdog to Zillow several months ago. I assume that the acquisition talks had probably already started, even as he was talking about this. I'm not incensed at

This is great work. I agree, the state of church software is absolutely appalling.

Our healthcare provider is storing passwords in plain text. When I went in for my health screening, they had everyone's forms printed out, with our passwords written on sticky notes attached to the front. Hundreds of people's heal

This is what comes from the aggressive militarization of our local police forces. Tell me again why our hometown of 7,000 (at the time) felt the need to develop a full-fledged SWAT unit. It has become even worse since 9/11. Shoddy poli

Whoa, that's seriously messed up. Can anyone else confirm that this is still the case?

It's fine for science to say, this is how we think it worked without God. But science cannot disprove God.

Your assertion has absolutely no more bearing to this argument than saying "nuh uh" and plugging your ears. You bring nothing to this discussion, and you should be ashamed for refusing to participate in real discourse.

If they prove something scientifically, then great. It's when they ignore the overwhelming body of science around certain things, such as the age of the Earth. That's just crazy.

Science has its own religious as well. There are plenty of people who will extrapolate a hypothesis way past the point of credulity. For example, claiming that the Big Bang excludes the existence of God. You can't scientifically dispro

Scientists tend to exclude God, and creationists tend to exclude science. It would benefit all of us for each side to recognize that they can live in harmony. Science can provide insight into how God's creation works, but it can never

I just have a script that downloads all of unsplash's images. Much easier to glance through locally. Also, a little shameless self promotion... I've been trying to give this image away for a little while now: https://ww
