In some way, it's a lesson to not uncritically install whatever on your own devices. I install custom firmware on my Wi-Fi routers, my smartphone etc., never really thought about how it would affect me if it were to get bricked in the

I think almost every AI-guy have tried making a boids simulation. They are such a good way to show emergent behavior from very simple rules. I'm a TA for an AI-course at my uni, and this semester my students had to program a boids si

Having the possibility of open sourcing your project in mind when writing it, is a bit like having unit tests. It forces you to think about how easy it would be for others to reuse or deploy. An example from my organization: Two big project

I hope this will make laptop vendors and others include IR capabilities in their devices, and that those are usable outside Windows Hello. Would be cool to see what other uses people could come up with, for this "baby-kinect".

Yeah, the reasoning is not completely sound. I think a better argument to use Gogs would be the fact that your code is self-hosted with the implications of privacy that brings.

by maaaats 12y ago
To be fair, Gogs is about having your own, possibly private to a company, Git service. Github is about collaboration. Most people wanting to contribute to this are probably already on Github.

Google Docs is also incredibly limited. It's like using Wordpad. I can't believe how often it's suggested as the Word killer, when it's absolutely useless for anything but plain text with some headings.
