I love my pebble - it has changed the way I use the information available on my phone for the better. Below are some reasons I find it useful/fun and which onboard/Android app I use. (Builtin/Glance) Receiving text messages o

I use GitLab at work, but for home, the amazing GitBucket does the trick and took a total of 30 seconds to install https://github.com/takezoe/gitbucket

I think there is another element. I admit, that as a scientific researcher, I am exhausted with 'science' in the mainstream. We are bombarded by rubbish 'science' reporting, which when criticized, hides behind the banner

How does multi-device implementation work (for the layman). Are the messages only delivered to the 'logged in' clients? So if I am logged in on the desktop my message exchanges are also sent to the phone client? But any messages I

I've made a few 911 calls, but the last one was pretty surreal. My partner and I were walking past a high rise where people go to score and in front of us on the pavement we saw a man and a woman trying to wake up someone who seemed on

May I share with you two pieces advice my father gave that I take with me everywhere: - Never say no - always negotiate. - If you don't ask, the answer is no. The reaction you shared is not particularly business savvy. Business relatio

or gitbucket, a single war file clone of github. I run gitlab for work, and gitbucket for personal and the latter is far easier to upgrade and maintain.

Well, bad comedy is still bad. Much like the naming of this idea. The term is already reserved for a subgroup that celebrates itself for being exclusionary, crass and insistently unreflective about its privilege in society.

This is the most interesting question. And failsafe. You couldn't rely on this, unless there was a way to ensure it is working or had a fixed lifespan. I believe the thermoelectric converter works by exploiting a temperature gradient,

yes, it is not news if the link is a year old and deals with a topic that is no longer relevant. This is noise, unless there is some related context.

The last thread on this alerted me to https://www.whispersystems.org/ (also on github https://github.com/WhisperSystems/ ) Maybe you can try that with your folks on android?

A great solution already exists: pandoc. It allows people to generate the required markup from their favourite mark(down)up. Focusing on scientific academia, the workflow of data to paper is already solved with ipython+pandoc (ipython note

I am doing something wrong then. We bought mattresses in the 'mid-range' ($500-600) and the springs went in the centre in 1-1.5 years. The best one we have had has been a refurbished mattress from the local charity store for $100.

Bloody great idea. Just implemented it too. Adding a hostname and putting the log in a Dropbox directory means you can keep track across PCs easily.

Nothing important, I think you are on the money - the comparisons on their website are utter bogus - the swept area of the turbine they compare against are not the same.

Actually it is the opposite [1]. Efficiency is theoretically increased with more blades. The three-bladed turbine is the most popular because of the cost benefit of building blades vs efficiency gain of extra blades - although the case of

That first paragraph highlights the problem with the EFF's analysis. It is not in 'the public interest by advancing political criticism' if at the end you try and sell you shitty toy. I would buy the argument it if it was b

Can I ask why JS is no good? (Genuine question) I thought the only consideration would be speed? The algebra is mainly looping. Isn't that way most languages try to handball algebra to LAPACK/BLAS?

Out of curiosity, what mobile do you use? I am not a fan of the iphone and being in the tech field it feels difficult to go back to a nokia 5110. Guess ubuntu or firefox OS is the way?

People do often use an alternative email for web signups though. For me: gmail for personal use, yahoo/hotmail for unimportant (ala Adobe) sign-ups.

We have had the same experience. I loved the idea of BTsync, but we encountered too many issues. We tested sparkleshare and lipsync too. Unfortunately, none of them dealt with conflicts and merges as they were meant to. BTsync would often n
