Yeah, I was wondering about this. Honestly feels like a design flaw. When I hit "restore all" I expected the tabs to replace the OneTab... tab. Other than that, and knowing that it's all in HTML5 localStorage, this will be replacing PanicBu

The final exam in my Networks class had a section with jokes and comics and you had to explain why they were funny. The following two were on it, among others: The great thing about TCP jokes is you always get them. A TCP packet walks into

Seems like it shouldn't, since it appears to require invoking JS code to use the templates.

Wow, I had no idea about IPython Notebooks. Gonna have to proselytize to my friends using MATLAB, Stata, R, etc.

I played the beta. It was Unreal with matchmaking, a little bit of PvE, and character development.

Question re: only utilizing one CPU and GOMAXPROCS: would it be in bad taste to, by default, for a program which might be used by other people (and uses goroutines extensively) to include in initialization "runtime.GOMAXPROCS(runtime.NumCPU

I was there this summer. martinced's comment made me laugh out loud. For martinced's information, about a third of the population of Argentina lives in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area which has a nice bright dot. Uruguay is not fine, it

Geography is an insufficient answer. I didn't realize there was confusion or speculation, possibly even on the part of raganwald, over why most economic activity is useless: obviously capitalism doesn't primarily select for usefulness. The

You and guynamedloren clearly didn't read past the second heading. The point of the article is that geography is one important factor for why people don't work at jobs that matter.

I imagine some of my clients could have been in a similar situation to Campbell's: they want a site or mobile app for marketing purposes or whatever. Since it's not crucial for their business, they don't know what they want. Yeah, maybe the

The abstract, although it's also far beyond me, actually sounds even more impressive than the article lets on.

It says the information is from PyPI, and gunicorn is in the "Python 3" category on PyPI. That might be it. Edit: aha, that's probably the case. At the bottom of the page, it says: > If a module is red though it supports python 3 it's b

Looks like you haven't even started thinking about the problems you'll run into architecting the actual mechanisms and policies of the operating system; process scheduling, virtual memory, etc. That's probably for the better—one thing at a

I'm surprised Guild Wars (especially 2) hasn't been brought up. I don't know about a game like Triple Town, but ArenaNet's sort of hybrid model seems promising: up front fee for a great, complete game, and more opportunities with the "coin

Yeah, but pushing a client fix takes time. They'll need an excuse in the meantime.

Very cool. I am psyched to see games like this becoming popular. Heck, I would never have guessed my older sister to write a line of code in her life, but she saw Code Hero at PAX and started telling me about the cool programming stuff she

I imagine he would react at least as negatively, given that he was bothered by surveillance enough to do this project.

What I thought of was Cory Doctorow's book Little Brother, which posits the inverse of this situation (a "techno-geek rebellion") rather than draw a parallel: "Big Brother is watching us, but who's watching back?" or something like that.

Now I regret missing hack night last week! I hope you got to meet some of our outstanding crew. Sounds like you talked to Borja. I had the good fortune to meet him when I visited and probably wouldn't have even bothered with a 4 year colleg

Indeed, the department has changed a bit recently, and the student hacker community is thriving. Theory is still strong, but I would like to add to bwaldrep's point by noting that a few classes are (now) dominated by actually building stuff

There is a test suite [1] available, though. Furthermore, the core of MMD is in the PEG grammar [2], which is enough of a specification for me. Compatibility of language subsets is even provable, so specifying a MMD-lite version (which migh
