I wonder how much more weight/space not having large solar panels gives them for scientific equipment. I assume it's a not-insignificant difference.

I'm very excited/nervous. I haven't felt this way about a space mission in a long time. My daughter (she's 10) made me promise to wake her up for it.

Same here. I tried low-carb for a while and while it was effective for weight loss, I found it very difficult to stick to. I know for a fact, though, that my body responds poorly to too many carbohydrates, so regulating sugars is important

That's awesome, fascinating stuff - thank you!

That's fascinating. It makes sense, in an odd way. His eyes are still functioning, but the brain can't process the incoming data, so things get remapped to areas of the brain responsible for other types of functions. I have a bit of the opp

I really wish I could just subscribe to iPlayer. I don't want to subscribe to a cable or satellite service that I wouldn't use (and then pay extra for BBC channels), and I like a lot of their content. I'd gladly pay the BBC money for easy,

I built Happy Docs a while back for documenting APIs. It's still a work in progress. It mostly gets used for internal projects, so there isn't a good public example yet that showcases all of the features, but it includes a query tool (a bit

I'm guessing I have smaller hands (female) which I suppose could make a real difference in how it feels to hold/use the device and is probably at least part of why I find it more comfortable to use than the iPad.

by kellishaver 14y ago
I feel the exact opposite. I've had an iPad for a couple of years, and the Nexus 7 for a few days now. I always loved my iPad, but after just a few days with the Nexus 7, I vastly prefer it. The 7in form factor feels much more comfortable t

I love this font. Someone on here recommended it to me last year when I was in need of a fixed-width font that looked decent at larger point sizes (I was dealing with some cataract issues at the time).

This isn't entirely related, but it's an interesting story, so I think I'll share, anyway. From my personal experience, even restoration of previous eyesight can be pretty unnerving for a bit. I spent much of last year losing my vision as a

This is so very exciting. For the longest time, treatment of eye diseases has gone a little like this: Refractive errors? Wear some glasses, contacts, or have LASIK Corneal diseases? Tricker because you need a donor, but corneal transplant.

Making friends as an adult can certainly be difficult, although I do think some of it may be self-inflicted. I find that I definitely am one to prefer quality over quantity, so a lot of times, I just don't go looking for new friends. The la

I can't decide if this is good or bad. I don't participate in a lot of FB groups, but I do a lot of politely keeping my mouth shut in other forms of online communication. I think I would feel like I was being put on the spot to say somethin

That's what I meant. I just kind of articulated it poorly, my apologies.

Yes, but on the site, they make a clear distinction between parametrized queries with PDO and other types of input filtering. I misunderstood and thought you were referring specifically to the latter.

If a library works like it should, then you may never have to look at it - that's great. But if you're working on a team, you'll have to read and understand other people's code all the time, and even if you're not, someone, somewhere, is go

With parametrized queries, that becomes a non-issue, but I still see no point in cluttering the database with data that's just going to be filtered out at some point - might as well filter it before it goes into the DB to begin with. The ex

Right. I think the main take-away from it is to be consistent and make sure everyone on your team is on the same page about the coding style. I see the PSR as a basic set of good recommendations, rather than something that must be followed.

My first real experience with learning to program anything (other than tinkering with some BASIC as a young kid) was scripting objects in a MUD. This was, I guess, the mod-90's, text-only equivalent of SL. You could even attach HTML to them

I don't think my exact model is made anymore, but it's extremely similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/White-Frosted-Glass-Steel-Fighter/dp/B... I've had it for about 5 years now. I like the size of it and it's surprisingly sturdy, but I

Nice, very smooth and fun. If you're going to require signup, perhaps at least integrate some way to share/tweet scores and view the leader board without having to go through a round of gameplay first.

I used it for free for a long time (longer than I care to admit) but by the time I did pay, I was so in love I would have happily spent 2x on it.

I modified this a while back to work in normal mode, for anyone who's interested. https://gist.github.com/2996448 It was the one feature in Sublime that was missing for me, and the one I needed most at the time (cataracts suck).

I had the same experience. I don't make my email address public, but I do have it visible to friends - sharing contact info among selected groups is one of the few things Facebook is useful for. When I checked earlier, my real email was hid

As someone with one eye, severe retinopathy, glaucoma, and an artificial lens, news like this excites me to no end - not for me, of course. It's probably too late to do anything about my damaged vision. My eyesight has been fairly stable fo

I have friends with kids who have been held back, but these are usually kids who have some form of diagnosable developmental delay, not just an average kid not doing well.

This isn't really "the same thing" it's "some things that all fall into the same 3-5 categories." I got into the habit of wearing the same thing everyday last year, when I was dealing with some pretty serious colorblindness (corrected now,

The author, I think, takes a pretty big leap in concluding that the test is being used as a teaching tool, rather than a testing tool. Stating that the students are now stuck learning about microscopes through the test, rather than actuall
