The "epigenetics" they're talking about is the chemical modification of the DNA. So while we usually talk about sequences of A,T,G,C we've actually got an additional symbol e.g. M. Which might be "methylated C"

They should pay the guy, not because it's the "right" thing to do, but because it maximises future bug reporting. If people see that facebook back out of paying for legitimate, reported bugs, they'll seek other options t

It could also be acting as a deterrent and thereby preventing the crime. I mean if you're smart, and you know they're going to catch you due to fingerprinting you'd avoid the system entirely. I'm not saying I agree with

MacOS and RiscOS at least were still going in 1995. Not to mention OS/2 was around. There really were better alternatives to both 3.11 and 95. A shell sitting on top of DOS was always quite hacky. They were big advances for people in t

It's kind of been that way since VisualStudio 6 I think, the MS debugger in VS6 was quite neat. The visual debugging tools were always pretty good. Hmm, this has got me wondering if there's anything like this available for vim, this looks

I remember the TechEd conference when C#/.net was introduced. The put up some Java and C# code side by side, it was almost impossible to tell them apart. They justified by saying they were both influenced by the same languages, but to be ho

ircbots generally operate in public or group channels. I think there' a distinction between this and a bot operating in a private communications channel. >I think the better choice here is to ensure that the public has a way to communic

That's a real shame, looks like we live in a world where we have to be seriously proactive about these things.

Have you thought about contacting the Archive team? They might be able to help you out. I'd hate to see that stuff get lost. Could access that path, but found: /anon/public/decus/vms/library/v00365 Looks great! All fortran 77 code by the lo

Wow, Terminology looks like a lot of fun. I'll have to ping them and see which escape sequence they use, would be great to use the same ones. I'll have to dig into terminology a bit more, I think we have slightly different design goals thou

That's a pretty good idea, I've tried to write the ReGIS rendering and inline PNG code in such a way that it wouldn't be too hideous to factor them out into their own libraries. If I get any traction with this, I'd love to see terminals gen

I've updated the site, thanks for the comments. That lab sounds awesome, I would have loved to have played with those terminals. It's unfortunate that we lost ReGIS support in modern terminals. The ReGIS support I currently have is pretty b

I've been writing this in my spare time. It's a cross platform terminal client which lets you draw graphics inline using Regis. This means you can quickly plot data using gnuplot without and serverside support. It also lets you render PNG g

Thanks for the articles gwern, some bitcoin coming your way. But a suggestion, could you add your bitcoin address by the Paypal donate button on your site? I found it a little hard to find.

From what I read on bitcointalk I believe this applies to miners too (if they use bitcoind). However it would be possible to run a mining pool which would accept small txs with no fee, and clients would still accept them as valid blocks.

It's more to do with certain services (SatoshiDice) sending very small, useless transactions through the network (SatoshiDice is a gambling service, they send a small transaction to tell you you lost). All those small transactions put a bur

I'd like to see citations for that. But one of the reasons could be that low end smartphones and off contract phones are far more popular in Europe. That drives the market towards cheaper devices which tend to run Android. In any case it wa
