If we're waxing lyrical, there was a research paper out of Ireland from a small telecoms research outfit, circa 1996 describing pretty much this, but using teletext subtitles. In addition to capturing and indexing the subtitles, it also cap

Check out icomoon.io which lets you do just that (create a site specific font, not argue with the frontend guys ;-) ) There are others (such as fontello.com), but icomoon is probably the most comprehensive.

Surely you're making a custom font with the icons you need, rather than publishing the whole thing? In which case you can supplement the fontawesome icons you're using with any icons that you're missing (such as the ticket icon from Entypo

the answer to NLP might actually be to simply store and access a terabytes-sized data structure of vocabulary and phrases. Isn't that effectively what google translate is doing? And it's results are... varied.

Or if you're on Rails, there's a little-known helper as part of the asset pipeline that will do this for you: #logo { background: url(<%= asset_data_uri 'logo.png' %>) }

Nice! Hope you thought to send a picture of the finished collection to the postmasters. Maybe on a postcard? :-)

Oh, please. The article uses the word porn exactly three times in the introductory paragraphs. Four if you count the title. The comments here have double that, including your own use. If you were genuinely that paranoid about being "logged

Think of it as defense-in-depth. This allows higher-level, but more sophisticated rules, while your lower layers provide simpler but lower overhead filtering. Hopefully abusive requests never reach this thanks to your router / firewall / we

3 In 10 Americans claim they Will Not Knowingly Buy Chinese-Owned Brands I suspect the reality is wildly different to the survey result - after all, "made in China" is hardly a secret.

It's one of those wrongs that will never be righted - like brits calling Los Angeles 'Los Angelease', or those who, after all these years of hearing it pronounced correctly still insist on calling Linux 'Lynux'.

So do you work for Google, or do you do work for Google? I only ask because in earlier comments you lectured on the correct use of terminology, yet having said explicitly you work for Google you now talk about the company in the 3rd person

If you're going to talk about it, you might as well get it right. Yes, "who" is the subject form and "whom" the object form, but "you" is clearly the subject in this sentence - "you hang"; subject-verb. "Who do you hang with?" sounds more c

Ah, yes, because somehow wasting all that money on an election campaign is okay so long as it is voluntary taxation. Then I remember that this is the same group of intellectuals that voted up "Star Trek-like computer with voice interface" (

Not to belittle Ryan's contribution, but the vulnerability he found was used in the Stripe CTF, so I have to assume he was already familiar with it. I don't believe you could randomly pick up a piece of code, not knowing the language it's w

And none of your Featured Tutors seem to have accounts. Also you might want to set up a notification system to let registered tutors learn about new projects in categories they're interested in. Keep going, I think you have the M down, only

That's silly. You can buy a complete arduino based flight controller with 3-axis gyro and accelerometer for less than $13. (For the best value I'd recommend the KK2.0 for $29, and for more comprehensive sensors one of the APM based boards,
