I've given up on discovering new music using technology and gone back to curated lists. No matter how hard I've tried to exploit technology, friends/bloggers who are obsessed with music are always the best sources. Subjective

Subsonic is great. I switched to Kodi with the chorus web application that allows controlling and streaming your music to the web browser. Not as feature rich, but together with yatse on my android devices it means a raspberry pi with only

I'd like a more indepth analysis of [1] and related stories. At a glance it seems that there is a big push for privatisation and more power for capital over labour to encourage business, which the cynic in me assumes will be for the r

This is all very premature, isn't it? It would be nice before someone is accused of deliberately killing 150 people for no reason to confirm that - the correct code was put in - there was no malfunction in the door release system - and

Thanks for the update! I was unaware of the power of geoJSON (also githubs neat mapping of them) and access to data from places such as gadm.org. Is that where you source the data?

very nice. One tangential question, the example svg maps are not created in the browser. How are these typically created? When I make SVGs they are typically either plots made with a plotting tool, or paths created from tracing or done pure

I found gitbucket after trying (unsuccessfully) to run gitlab on my 512mb RAM VM. It has satisfied all the needs of our small group, which is essentially keeping a visual track of our git repos and permissions.

Agreed. University administrators definitely have an effect. There has been a doubling[0] in the number of administrative posts in the US and they cost a lot[1]. It seems to be a continued corporatization of the tertiary sector, whereby ma

Depends on your relationship with your parents. If your parents are supportive and you are looking for a CS degree, only work at McDonalds if you feel like a life experience - probably not a bad idea. If you have opportunity to get a zero i

That's how I used to hitch lifts with trucks when doing bike messenger runs that took me down at the docks. Dumb and foolish I was.

These posts depress me. They are always showing off some cool algorithm that is oh so clever, and yet Netflix recommendations are just the same films over and over again. Amazon instant somehow nailed it - I keep finding new shows/film

Does the volume matter? Can the weight be offset? You can scale the geometry and accommodate dynamic and kinematic similarity by matching Froude, Reynolds, Drag and Pressure coefficients - or what non-dimensional parameters you have based o

The Victorian desal is a bit more expensive to the taxpayers than that to the tune of $24B, but has been embroiled in financial problems mostly due to the dodgy tender process. http://www.theage.com.au/environment/water

I have just been looking at tickets to the US. My intent was to stop for a few days in Japan or Malaysia, and book the first and second leg separately. I checked flying Tokyo->Minneapolis and was given a few prices, in the $1100 range wi

It kinda did. Free TV is mostly horrendous where I am. Tons of ads, terrible content. Radio as well. The only sources with quality and range are community radio (free but dependent on subscriptions) and community television (only people wil

Agreed - I have yet to successfully send a text through voice commands. Or navigate. And I quickly realised it was dangerous to try, because I would inevitably have to look down to see what the phone is actually doing.

Not necessarily, it can also describe the slope, based on the timestamp of the projects. 4 years ago I did this, I did this last year, last month I tried my hand at this. However, it requires the interviewer to have the skill to extract thi

Most of these seem like classic stock photos. They are certainly technically competent, but the collection (and the instructions) are more about style than the art of minimalism. Then again, a blog would be hard pressed to teach the art. Fo

yeah - the official FIFA app is 32mb! and the local one in my country is 24mb and it loads all the data from the web everytime you open a screen. I just uninstalled it and used a laptop. Nice transitions though. ;)

That's a good point I had (subconcisouly refused) to consider as value. Value is added to the rich. Further offending my socialist dream. ;)

I do not understand this logic. What original ticket purchaser? Scalpers aren't like eBay. They have bought up the tickets from the venue at certain amount, depriving others of a limited resource at that same value, and now offering it
