Lately I have to think a lot about what context switching does to me. It is known that a lot of context switching is turning you in a kind of 'stoned' state. These days the world is bloated with stimuli and I think that's one

I agree. A selfish society forgets it's collective responsibility. These 'parents' can't even look after themselves. But why would they listen to a government who is also grabbing what they can? You can't change the

Some days ago there were comments about Notch being a bad programmer. And when I see posts like this I think that's unfair. 2500 lines of C doesn't mean a thing. I could do it in 1 line when I removed all line breaks. Did the prog

Maybe they don't connect to any telco, but most mobile devices are trackable. They send and receive data.

Well don't be to sure about that. Google locations is very inaccurate.

Well you can opt-out from Google but can't from your telco. They have been tracking you for over decades. Mobile device = tracking device. http://www.zeit.de/digital/datenschutz/2011-03/data-protecti...

"Because the truth is, I can’t do anything." I think this is a lie (but I share your feelings). All the oppression is driven by the greed. Me myself and I is the norm. Not only in politics but a lot of people are turning to the

This article is full of assumptions. Maybe the backer lost a lot of money so he had to cut his fund. We don't know anything about 'Lee' and his financial situation. So we can't make any assumptions about his motivations.

Native, but with the use of C# (Xamarin / Mono). And I don't think native takes more time. Debugging is much easier with native apps (imho).

The term "proof-of-work" (with the dashes) is not used very often. But in all Bitcoin documentation it's written with the dashes. Now there is one Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof-of-w

There is a difference. A filter is a dumb blocking mechanism while blocking a specific site could involve research, warrants and so on.

Very nice! I think the best way to learn a new language is to have graphical output instead of 'hello world'. This will get me started with Go!

"in my expecience, almost nobody actually understands how payment systems work" This was my experience as well. I can't understand why everybody fell for the hype. Loads of money are transfered every hour. And we don't

Well they were lucky you fixed it. There are loads of sites built year ago that just work so nobody is looking into the code base ever.

With bi-directional path tracing it works something like this: * trace a photon from the light source with x bounces * trace a ray from the camera with x bounces Now the end points of those traces are not connected but you can calc

Note that this can be very tricky. You don't want to keep connections open or waiting.

Also: (from the NFPA data) "Highway vehicles include any vehicle designed to operate normally on highways, such as automobiles, motorcycles, buses, trucks, and trailers" So in fact this could include electric cars as well.

My bad, I didn't notice this was Ghosterys fault but commented that his site didn't work. I really like how Troy Hunt step in to this. First the "it's my fault attitude". I can learn from this because I blamed his s

For many year I also tried to build a simple ray tracer. The math got me to, but in the end I was able to write different types of render engines. What helped me: learn about vectors learn about (vector) normalization learn about ca

This is where path tracing steps in. Bi-directional path tracing combines both photon tracing and ray tracing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_tracing

It doesn't matter if you buy when it's low or high, the only thing that matters is what will happen in the future [1]. There is absolutely no guarantee that low stock will rise [2]. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki
