   I buy the ad-free version of apps that I use regularly. But then, there are those that don't give me that option... [Edit] A good example of one that doesn't allow you to pay, but insists on showing you ads, and if I'm to go

   I've found rooting my phone and installing AdAway (that blackholes ad-server requests using the /etc/hosts file) to be extremely effective against all sorts of ads - in-browser, in-app, you name it. AdAway and XPrivacy are th

   FYI, "unlimited data" != "unlimited throughput". No one's asking for unlimited throughput. What people who signed up thought they were getting was pretty straightforward - unlimited data at the throughput promised.

    Uploadr doesn't work with Snow Leopard (10.6.8). That's a dealbreaker for me.

    Yes, I did. And I updated the config.json to use my username and repository name. But once I go to <username>.github.io/hubpress and try to login, there's an authentication error. Looking at the console output shows this: &q

    So let's see. A company wants to sell its goods to people in the US at a higher price than elsewhere. So they want the people in the US to interpret a law in a way that would put people in the US at a disadvantage compared to the rest

    I haven't used numba or benchmarked it, so I'm not really qualified to comment. I do however vastly prefer the MATLAB-like syntax of julia to that of python.
