Good point. I'm not well versed in such TV, but it seems that the Christians who get on TV are pastors or community organizers or what have you, very nice people who you might tire of in a half hour. In contrast, the loud, obnoxious, and pe

I was suddenly reminded of this blog post from 2006, a screenshot of the stack of a small web app: http://ptrthomas.wordpress.com/2006/06/06/java-call-stack-fr...

I don't have a GUI (Xubuntu 9.10), and I don't want to set it permanently. Just so I can get at some ip-restricted content from home.

Yeah, I got it to work now, thanks to google. Hadn't realized that it needs a) a new session and b) an environment variable set. function remotebrowse() { export SOCKS_SERVER=localhost:5432 ssh -fNTD 5432 remote google-chrom

I'm pretty sure Chrome, at least, doesn't support SOCKS yet at all. I was trying to make a shell script just the other day that would set up a SSH SOCKS proxy to a remote box and launch a browser using it, but couldn't do it from the comman

Great, I was just looking for something to watch. Probably this (I get a redirect, so can't verify): Season 10 Episode 8 "Make Love, Not Warcraft". http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/103797/

Over the past few years, I've tentatively decided to not play any game that has achievements. I used to scour regular games thoroughly, but have found that games with achievements tend to become endless grinding slogs for no satisfying rewa

Does the DCFS investigate only parents, or can you e.g. accuse a kindergarten? Maybe one could ask DFCS to investigate DCFS?

I can see the whitespace actually being a problem here, since most tools assume they can rearrange it willy-nilly, and since indentation in html is generally speaking akin to washing your hands after you use the bathroom: a lot of people do

The article states that they only considered top secret facilities, because they would get swamped even worse by the merely secret ones.

You'll notice that that bit of the document is dynamically inserted, by a bit of javascript that it looks to me like being called by a flash slideshow controller. Maybe they want to discriminate against people who don't watch ads? Wouldn't

This is very nearly the only reason I ever used flags. It took me a while to accidentally flag something, then a tiny bit more to discover how to unflag. Fast forward quite a while, and I discovered the auto-sweep, and now use it nearly exc

That reminds me of what Conan O'Brien said about Twitter in his post-sack interview - that he felt it really honed his output, because he had to condense his jokes. I didn't think much of the few jokes I saw, presented so impersonally, but

I can't help thinking this might be vulnerable to the very real age differences. Women enter and exit the dating scene at an earlier age than men, and consequently might not see the theory or the purportedly undesirable elements before they

Sounds much simpler than these ones. I've never really found it useful to see the unordered set transform into an ordered one - the point should be in how the algorithm does divide&conquer.

I was referring to jaspervdj, who is both the author of the comment to which I reply and the author of the original article (well, I presume). The article states: " an element in array can, by chance, point to an element in marks , but t

The one system I read about in passing, which was surprisingly accurate, just looked for off-color blots to the bottom, left and right of a supposed face. If you're not blonde, eyebrows probably contribute more to the blot than the pupils.

This tone is what makes it difficult to me to read lesswrong, and bayesian stuff in general. I'm sure it's unintended, but when I wanted to look into bayesianism the only thing I found was an air of superiority – and I'm supposed to be the
