It made it onto Channel 4's "Grand Designs"[1], so there is little doubt this is happening, being filmed and all. Also, the Guardian has something about it as well: http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign&#x2F

"They" really don't. Either way you described is still either sorted in ascending or descending order: H:M:S D/M/Y (321 123) or D/M/Y H:M:S (123 321), as opposed to using MDY, which is neither ascending no

Thank you for the submission, I hadn't seen this yet. I absolutely love how the original brochure (which is also linked on that website) tells you (always in bold) that nothing needs to be done if sharing is alright, yet they don'

I disabled electric-indent-mode, because it really doesn't get along well with org-mode in my experience. I only really use it for select languages, but otherwise tend to disable it globally.

If I understood the linked article correctly, nobody knows about the actual effect these rulings have on UK law, where this digitalisation originated. Until there has been a similar case brought before the court, little seems to suggest t

If this "historical fact" was so well-known, how come Germany and Scandinavia used Fraktur well into the 1930s as the most common typefaces? In reality, the respective difficulties were far harder to prove than one might think.

The thing is, not all strands of academia have collaboration even as a central focus. I don't see it very often in the humanities that articles or books have multiple collaborators. The normal thing is either the article or monograph w

As one can see from my ever so slightly sour comments, my personal experience somewhat taints my view of the platform as a whole. Essentially, the people whose company I'd enjoy the least are most likely to have the appropriate profile

Academia.edu bothers me on a somewhat different level: It becomes yet another of the levels were academia pretends to be more and more like the business world (with LinkedIn). The whole idea is to further display and reinforce your own sple

I only see winners in this: I think both Elsevier and academia.edu are bloody plagues, and whoever loses, I'm happy. The way I see this, either people are turned off academia.edu or away from Elsevier, both of which are desirable resul

Just in case anybody wants to read a bit more about this: This is Green Open Access, which usually means that the publication is blocked for a while, but usually doesn't cost the author (or their institution) anything extra. The other

This has nothing to do with the software itself, but it bothers me: Why do you call a "high-throughput distributed messaging system" Kafka? Kafka's stories essentially describe the polar-opposite: crippled, ineffective, labyr

This is not meant as criticism: Is there any particular reason for all the tr pipes? Is there any advantage to using tr instead of base64 ? I essentially use the following: base64 </dev/urandom | head -c $COUNT | xar

The analysis of the influence of media onto the individual was, in fact, the subject that was at the very heart of the establishment of modern empirical sociology. A good start for further reading is the Princeton Radio Research Project[1],

This doesn't have any member of the Frankfurt School... Bonus points for also having no Derrida, Althusser, Fichte, Bergson or Simmel. (Apart from others, like Schleiermacher, Schlegel etc.)

Mh, I don't really. There are few things that need to be changed all at once. The only recent time I needed regex on a wider scale was when I botched org-mode radio targets after a recent syntax change, which was a simple case of repla

85/100 I really like the idea behind this side. It neatly shows the difference between proper and improper kerning. It also showed me that I am much more likely to kern certain types correctly naturally.

If you want rolling-release, use openSUSE-factory[1], i.e. the development branch (though this might sometimes break on you). If you want an inbetween thing between rolling release and standard, use Tumbleweed[2], which is curated by Greg K

I second some of the other comments who suggest seeing a doctor. I'm assuming the author is a student, since a degree is specifically mentioned, and in that case, most campuses have a central service for health issues and/or psych
