Imbalance is a good way to start thinking of it. But, are you familiar with the sensation of being so tired you drop off to sleep & wake up seemingly instantly, but time has passed? The 'yeah, I'm awake, I'm awake' t

I did this for a (not very popular) Eclipse IDE autocomplete set for a certain Lua-based game engine. I updated to 0.9.2d and forgot about it (stopped using the engine), and someone came in with a PR for 0.10.0. I made a couple of notes on

It fills a real need as the console-based text editor for people who don't know vi (and would usually use e.g. gedit rather than emacs). (I'm sure it has other purposes too, but it's the most motivating one I know.) Ubuntu X1

I think the standard thing is to charge more if the customer pays via Bitcoin, and to expect payment in 3/6/12 month lumps rather than a month at a time. This could help to deal with increased customer service costs (abuse handlin

My personal theory is it's something to do with Dropbox's Explorer shell extension. (But I really don't know enough to day for sure. Still, if the shell extension mechanism is such that you get a file or list of files, it&#x2

I've been messing with Eto.Forms recently. You define everything through code (or optionally in a JSON blob) rather than in a designer, and it tries to use native controls to display your design. It's pretty solid and easy to use

Pretty cool. How do you get other weapons? Maybe I've just missed it, but I've played two levels and have been picking up ammo for other guns but am unable to switch to them with the numeric keys. Movement system is good and the m

Good idea. I've got plenty of PTO days (which I've been rationing carefully throughout the year), and I reckon it's definitely time to burn a few more days for an ultra-long weekend. Besides, the weather's novahot at the

Oddly, I think I have this. I've tried to explain the vague faint multi-colour noise that overlays my vision that is especially noticeable at night to e.g. my parents before, and they didn't get it. I've always assumed it&#x2

Being forced to start from scratch seems a real shame. TrueCrypt as it is, is a reasonably stable and mature piece of technology. Far better to swap out the broken/substandard bits than start solving a fundamentally hard problem all ov

Yes, but the graphics part is pretty good (especially compared to the raw 'CPU' part). I'm seeing this as just the same Raspberry Pi without the specific form factor of the original. I'd like to think that someone can ma

I'm not saying it's great news, but I really can see where they're coming from for this. Note that they're only doing this for Windows. As someone who occasionally is roped in to providing tech support for a sibling who

A lot of VNC Viewer for Chrome is just the standard RealVNC stuff compiled into NaCl, so you should find the performance to be pretty good. If you've used any of RealVNC's mobile apps you should have a good expectation of what yo

I was actually shocked at how badly Apple handled Retina, and even more shocked and disappointed that Windows did it worse. Apple basically made everyone rewrite their apps instead of doing something sane - though admittedly they never had

I hope Google manage to sort this out some time soon. In the short term, just undoing everything and going back to the old comment system might actually be a good idea.

Really interesting post which I enjoyed immensely, and a good point about being able to create custom renderers with DirectCompute/OpenCL and skip all the legacy baggage while harnessing the ultimate powah of modern GPUs. (Reckon we&#

Felipe, I'm completely unsurprised you got banned. This post is just continuation of the behaviour you can't see. People are human. It doesn't matter if you're technically in the right, or that you think things should be some way - if you

Indeed, and they're distinctly aware of it, in their tongue-in-cheek way. Check out their price list! http://www.theregister.co.uk/2001/01/22/register_tariff/ It would be nice if they had a full-time web designer or two on staff, though.

This really is a cool idea. Who doesn't occasionally yearn to get away from it all? I'm not in the US, though that's not your fault.

Basically in the game you take a phone call from some guy and try to get him to answer a sufficient number of security questions that you can actually change whatever needs changing. Being too fuzzy on the details and not pushing for enough

The future: .NET 4.0 gave unto us the second revision of the F# language, and the Async and Await keywords. These are extremely cool, and I have had a great deal of fun writing seemingly-synchronous code (e.g. a character generation module

The present (kinda): 3.0/3.5 Man, why would anyone want any of this LINQ or closure stuff? I don't get it. We already have event handlers, and for blocks can do anything LINQ can do (that I'd use it for)! It was about this time that I got

The 2.0 era Java and .NET got generics around about the same time, a few years later. Java (sanely, to be honest) implemented generics via type erasure - so the compiler does the type checking, and then emits code that has no type informat
