Just use vlc. Apples "streaming" is just 10 second chunks of video shunted across a m3u playlist. Its not exactly proprietary in that regard. Also its a developer conference, what are you hoping to see in the live stream that make

I have a friend that used to do embedded programming for nuclear power plants. From what he said they have 5 systems, two running software from vendor a, two from vendor b, and another running software from vendor c for failsafe. A quorum h

Technically possible but against the licensing.

It exists now, you just need to run it on an OS X machine running OS X + Fusion to be legal. I have vagrant vm's for OS X back to 10.7. You might be able to run esx on a mac then use vm's that way but I have no idea. In either cas

What I love about the entire game is the use of color. The much maligned gold/black color theme was explained by one of the developers as a theme for when you're around augmented humans. It looks like in the sequel they're us

I really at this point only check /r/haskell as that is the "best" spot for learning about new things for that language. Otherwise most of my reason to go there has dropped off. Even the above can be mitigated by followi

In my own state of Minnesota the courts had nothing to do with legalization. Nothing likely would have changed either unless it wasn't for a bunch of anti gay bigots really pissing a lot of people off by trying to pass an amendment to

Tiger Tiger, or its American name The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester. I'm not sure at all how the ending would get translated to film but god would it make for a great movie.

My light at the end of the tunnel remark was more of an analogy that at that point I'll be able to use the language with minimal competency. >.< I can see with things like Idris and dependent types even more of the same of the wh

Yep, I've been learning Haskell for the past year. Honestly, I consider myself still at the beginner stage at best. But I'm just starting to see a light at the end of a tunnel. It is most definitely humbling to learn new ways to c

Depends, can we include whitespace in on the action too?

I will vouch for this method. Measure how much time you are spending and then decide if its worth the effort. I personally found I was wasting 1-2 hours a day on news alone. That just isn't a productive use of time. Another piece of ad

Exactly, the energy of one particle is the same as how much a mosquito puts out if I remember correctly. The black holes formed from this, and this is presuming its possible to do so mind, wouldn't have enough energy to pull in other m

by mitchty 12y ago
Can you explain? The LHC produces energies that are less than what the earth has been bombarded with from cosmic sources since time immemorial. Also what exactly is a "black hole chain reaction"? How are these black holes possible

git-subtree already allows for embedding one git repo in another. https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/contrib/subtree/git-s... I see the point but not sure I agree that we should treat all g

No idea on git fetch all, but for a normal fetch it just iterates if the first one say fails it goes to number 2 in the list etc.. Past that I've not used it that often outside of having a cheap cluster solution in a way. Try it out an

A simpler way is just define two remotes to push and pull from in a single namespace say origin. If one is up you'll have no real problem. No need for code paths to test or having fallback stuff either. Just make git use both remotes.

Eh, just make an alias in ~/.gitconfig no need to add more options to git. That is: [alias] nilinit = !sh -c 'git init && git commit --allow-empty -m NIL' And now git nilinit does what you want.

What about project orion? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_%28nuclear_propu... I think exploding nuclear bombs as a propellant qualifies as "violent explosives". Then again it was the 50's and

Yep memristors will be cool sure, but they aren't going to solve all our problems. Even within a core not everything will work at "register speed". I'd consider memristors to be something more helpful to our vm subsystem

Just noting climbing a tree is infinitely different than sending a 5.10b route. The strategy involved in the two is night and day. One focuses on fingertips not slipping and the other involves not losing grip.

Note, we like other apes evolved to climb trees not rock walls. I will note also that compared to climbing rocks, climbing trees with slightly sweaty hands is MUCH easier than with dry or chalked hands. I think its due to bark being the gri

Well to be sure we were going down that route. Then Reagan got elected. Take that what you will.

How so? If I build something that doesn't conform to specifications, what does it matter if it happened to be unit conversions? They could have skipped a decimal point and not noticed, because they didn't conform to the specificat

Yep, the drought should be thought of more as a return to normalcy for California. We have been living under an incredibly wet period of California the past 100 or so years. We were wrong to think that was the norm. Climate change will impa

I see it as more gold and a blueish white hue. So not taking that survey cause it seems to constrict me into some weird combination I can't agree with.

Yep, if we were to say that in kernel struct changes mean a major release in semantic versioning, there would never be anything but major releases. Even though for all of them the user space api wouldn't break. So yeah, I think the peo
