It didn't cover content for me, but I think it's annoying anyway. Instead of using fixed positioning, which the browser will keep in place no matter where you scroll without any annoying jumps, he updates the position with Javascript just b

I don't like that they call it "sub-personalities". Our inner voices are just us, the thoughts of our personality and identity. I suppose sub-personality as a metaphor could make it easier for people to manage stray thoughts that distract u

Thanks for the analysis, grandpa.

Couldn't link to the actual list of documentation manuals? http://www.codedevelopr.com/50-web-developer-documentation-m... It is a nice list of documentation/references to have.

Even if it is an old post, I have to say that Yaron Minsky is a good source for learning OCaml. I learned a good deal of it trying to figure out how his Planets gravity simulation worked, and then porting the algorithm to javascript. Here i

I like the rem unit, but for a different reason. If I want to change the font size of everything at once, just change the size of the root element. Everything follows from that.

Well, I don't imagine it would matter much to the reader. There are people who say it's not right for him to do it, but who it really matters to are the New Yorker and the Wall Street Journal, depending on who owns the rights to Jonah Lehre

The title threw me off. When I read self-plagiarism, I read that as using your own work that you already wrote before. Reading into it a little more revealed the catch. He took content he wrote for another publication and used it for his cu

That is why I sympathize with Linus here. I'm also very upset with nVidia over Optimus, but on Windows, for reasons I've mentioned in other comments. Optimus really just seems like an afterthought to nVidia. As long as it switches GPUs when

by rsanchez1 14y ago
I'm done with nVidia products, not because of their Linux support, but because of their lack of support of Optimus on ANY platform. Until I can use Optimus in an optimal way, with PhysX and 3D Vision working properly and more games running
102.
by rsanchez1 14y ago
Well, in this case Optimus is not all that well-received, by the Linux community and by people who thought they were going to get a good gaming experience with an nVidia graphics card, but ended up with Optimus instead. Really, nVidia deser

by rsanchez1 14y ago
Yeah, so what? You know this, I know this, even Linus knows this and admits it. But he doesn't do it just to troll someone. If you've pissed him off enough for him to curse at you, there's (almost) always a good reason why he did it. If you

They don't care about how shitty it is for Windows users either. Optimus works very poorly with nVidia's PhysX and 3D Vision, for example.
105.
by rsanchez1 14y ago
The real problem is that Optimus still sucks on Windows 7. Optimus causes problems for games, problems for nVidia's 3D Vision technology, even problems with PhysX. I could be playing so many games much more smoothly and at higher quality if

I don't get all the EA hate. They publish Mass Effect, they get hate. They try to boost indie games and developers, they get hate. They start doing sales on games, and they get hate. There's so much irrational hate on the internet.

by rsanchez1 14y ago
Even nVidia can't properly handle Optimus on Windows, so it's no surprise they aren't even trying on Linux.
109.
by rsanchez1 14y ago
Optimus has to be one of the worst products nVidia has pushed. There's the Linux incompatibility, and there's the little problem where you are always tied to the vastly inferior integrated graphics. Games that I should be able to play at 60

The author didn't pick good examples of contrarian anecdotes found on HN. They are contrary to a study on coffee consumption and dementia. The study, however, is only a sample of 124 people from Tampa and Miami. The study is just as likely

Philosophy does not discuss human problems. Philosophy discusses human thought.

If only it were that easy, but in philosophy there are not equations holding your hands the entire way telling you how models are correct. Students have to spend years learning how to think before philosophers start making sense and stop so

Seeking tangible results shouldn't be the goal of philosophy. Philosophy is not about tangible results. At its core, it's about thinking clearly. It's my opinion that if scientists today had a better grasp of philosophy, then the string the

Exactly. If scientist were not concerned with the philosophy of science, they would not come up with different interpretations of quantum mechanics. There would just be quantum mechanics, and there wouldn't be the Copenhagen Interpretation,

by rsanchez1 14y ago
I think philosophy is a worthy pursuit for a scientist. It's easy to get a feeling of going somewhere with science, because someone else has done a lot of thinking for you making you comfortable with your result. But if you leave philosophy

The same people who support Apple's closed App Store over the more open Android model because "most" users don't install software not in the App Store anyway. Apple knows what's best for you.

That's the dream, but software pushes the envelope constantly, so much so that a computer that was cutting-edge a month ago is lagging today. If the hardware were irrelevant then we wouldn't be seeing faster and more efficient computers yea

Wow, this is just insanity. Any judge looking at this suit should dismiss it based on how frivolous it is, and everyone involved should just grow up, and the lawyer suing the Oatmeal and Charities should start making an honest living.
