Quite the opposite, Zoe Quinn herself has been discovered to have played a role in SWATing her critics [1]. Incidentally, KotakuInAction has been featured elsewhere today [2]. I agree with your last sentence. [1] http://www.crime

Thanks for the info. I understand that you're only partially deficient. I was merely testing a hypothesis of mine, that RGB-based image sources should not show an improvement for you. The corollary to the above would be that CMYK-based

Looking at the diagrams [1], I see that it works by creating 3 pass-bands. I understand how it would work for natural light. But how well does it work for you with CRT/LCD monitors that simulate the color gamut using just the three pri

This can easily be accommodated in a Software Engineering course. Project (and library) licenses are as important a matter as project lifecycle.

Fascinating story. If it's any consolation to the author, some of us still use Vi/Emacs, do batch processing in shell scripts, run complicated commands from the command prompt. And when it's time to take a break for some gami

> precision of motion of a stepper motor is several magnitudes higher than a simple DC motor Depends on whether we're talking about open-loop control or closed-loop control. A stepper motor can only move in half-jumps or full-jumps.

I don't know how you could compare India to UK. If you seriously believe there are a "small number of such cases", I must conclude you're ignorant. In most developed countries people would be shocked if issues such as th

Well, since you are inviting me to speculate, I'll do so. 1. Best-case scenario: high-school kids are imparted with some basic knowledge of drugs. I think they'll understand Pharmacology 101 just fine. This will raise the quality

A few years ago, a close relative of friend was an Assistant Drug Controller for a particular region of India. As is the case with a huge number of Indian government officials, this guy was corrupt to the core. I was quite aware of how his

When I read the title, I did not interpret "worth billions" as referring to the cost of producing them. I took it as its potential value to current science. In fact, the blurb below the title says, "pushing back the modern sa

I'm not American, and had not heard of New Republic. But reading this article, I think New Proletariat sounds like a more honest name for their magazine.

On my current system, Konqueror renders quite like the Chrome screenshot that I posted earlier. Firefox is much lighter. Thanks to your samples, I think I can tweak knobs on my system to render better. Edit: Yup, my infinality has a setting

I feel your pain. Most of my monitors are 100-dpi. Most new computers screens sold are approx. 100-dpi. I guess these UX developers use the latest macs with retina displays, and create eye-sores for the rest of us.

HN is not the right place for reporting bugs of this sort. Report it on github.

When I write command-line programs, the JVM seems just fine. Even the startup time is not bad. However, when I compare actual editors and IDEs, JVM-based editors feel as painful as pulling teeth. Compare jEdit and Kate, or even Sublime Text

Colour me skeptical. The biggest problem, as I see, with all these phones is the obsoletion rate of software. If they had pledged to do their best to keep the platform running on the oldest of Android phones, all those phones would immediat

I'm afraid I don't get your point. Isosorbide dinitride costs about US-35$-75$ [1] and IN-0.4$ [2], about 100 tablets in both cases. The patent was published in 1979, so it should have long expired by now, and would be a generic d

There seem to be quite a few of us chronics on this thread! My own meds cost about US-1200$ and IN-100$, per month. But I find it understandable in my own case... the drug is new, and the patent is nowhere near expiring. In case you were te

I agree with almost everything you have written. But I'll add that it can be quite a bit more complicated than "ask the price, pay it". You're right about the financial aspect. But the technical aspect can be quite muddl
