It appears from the graphs (yeah, I know) that he's probably doing trig (to locate the tweet) and collision detection (to determine the area of the city). He could also have more control over single precision algorithm choice than he would

We don't call 'scripting languages' 'glue code' for nothing. If more people thought of FFI/RPC/etc. as just another pipe-and-filter framework, they'd be less reluctant to write properly-defined, performance critical, pieces in a more perfor

Many are "failed" mathematicians and physicists (among other pursuits) that were unable to earn a reasonable living in their primary field. I say "failed" only in that it was surprising to me when I discovered numbers of developers with PhD

Damian Conway may be an example of a virtuoso of the form. His diversionary works[1] have no practical value, but explore the corners of what can be done with Perl, and do so in a way that delights, inspires, and encourages reflection. It

I must assert that this is not the case. Many textbooks, especially in b-school (ok, ok) are fictional narratives of a heroic quest to solve a problem. Through that narrative, lessons are expressed. The Goal, by Goldratt, is an example of

brew upgrade misses out then. I add Cellar/emacs to Alfred's search path and brew upgrade/cleanup more or less works fine.

A) Correct, you are ignorant to think it's absurd. B) 7.01 was released almost three years ago. A number of things have changed in that period of time, and it's reasonable to expect that 352 files were created, edited, deleted, etc.

ido and anything/helm are great for "just close enough" partial matching. Knowing that emacs can do something is just as good as knowing the key bound to the particular command.

That's my preference as well, but integrating it with your app launcher of choice (among other things) can be a little more challenging. The alias in /Applications is a particular pain if you try to use Alfred or Spotlight, but maybe Quick

Many of these people don't care about "support" from Microsoft. They care about compatibility with some piece of mission critical software, whether it's a DOS-based app, an old FoxPro database that won't run on a newer release (compatibili

The easiest thing to do is to install a variant of emacs on your machine (aquamacs is fine but stuck at version 23 of emacs). It probably comes with org already at this point. I assume the things you'll want to track are facts and tasks.

Different from each perspective! For handsome, smart, educated, awesome, people such as myself, it is a lifetime of treasures, hidden within RSI-inducing key bindings, no matter where on the keyboard one puts C and M. For leprous, primitiv

No need for TRAMP. https://github.com/juanre/org-jekyll org is to outliners what emacs is to text editors.

It has its days. Certain posts attract more of the type of chatter you might prefer to avoid. Just remember that those people are wasting their time to post junk and not pursuing business goals to compete with you. :-)

"I [...] strongly disagree with the focus on "identical experience" amongst browsers. Instead, I prefer [...] graceful degradation [...]" I fully agree. This is what we have accepted with the mobile web since the 1990s. This is a smashing

Go into a local small business with about [$|€|£]2-5m in turnover per year. A moderately successful veterinary practice comes to mind. They have applications that need to be managed by what is undoubtedly an outsourced IT service, very lik

Actually, it's decreasing complexity and getting a happy side effect of a 12% smaller file. It was probably a mistake to add the file size difference as a benefit, as it has obviously confused a lot of people who appear to have perceived i

It's not tech policy, it's the national security council. If you read one of the linked articles (pre-veto threat), it's made clear that the executive agrees with the bill but wants a few more changes made. http://www.latimes.com/business

No need to meta-fight it. Take a deep breath and acknowledge that you are officially old in Internet terms. Now get off my lawn and no, you cannot have your ball back.

I wouldn't go for "higher standard" but I would say they should be "better informed" about the consequences of driving recklessly. I have talked to a lot of state patrolmen in CA and WA (USA) and they were cured of using their awesome dri

No, but the key one is "/* A simple write on the socket ..thats all it takes ! */" which the author said was rather distinctive, and I would have to agree. (In fact, it was the search I used to find this example.) How it got onto Wikipedie

Vincent Laforet has a great set of howtos on DSLR/HDSLR videography on his site. He does great little videos of why some of the rail rigs are built the way they are and gives some behind-the-scenes type work like this. Even if you're an iP

Ack, thanks for the catch. I cannot abide AGPL/GPLv3 because it renders accommodation a little too hairy. Thanks for identifying the fork point as well.

arduino.cc is about as polished at the standard IDE. :-) I agree that a StackExchange site for Arduino, or even "hobby embedded electronics," which could cover the BASIC Stamp and other devices, would be a much better aggregation of experti
