I don't know how much of it comes out of the box, but the article was impressive in in more than just its writing. The only slight annoyances I encountered were the way some pictures appeared too late and the videos lacked length and s

If so, those videos had perhaps 240 frames each, not 10.

There's a huge amount of configuration in X that I've been grateful for over the years. I wonder how Mir fares in this respect.

It might. The associated paper makes the assumption that for every division of rent, some room is acceptable. However, the lemma itself makes no such demand, but only guarantees the existence of an approximate rent division. The algorithm g

I'm not sure who is changing the industry understanding or perception, but showpieces definitely have impact. Redesign rants probably do more good than the redesigns themselves, because they can stop imitation. That said, I feel L&

This particular study seems fairly solid, but the linked one about a cardboard cutout appears contradictory. The comment about predators seems careless, in that light, but the person making the comment has clearly been theorizing about the

Only if you have two kinks, I think. I'm not sure how people introduce them, but I always had to move them all the way to the end to remove them.

Google Chrome used to corrupt certain PDF files if I saved them via the built-in PDF viewer. It still might, I haven't touched that button in a while.

FWIW, I liked the colors, but totally misinterpreted them (I assumed the color represented a single value on a gradient, rather than two channels), and I almost missed the "next page" link at the bottom I also thought it would be

The mostly unrelated world population density map [1] really distracted me, partly because of how entirely wrong it is. The map is actually of the populations of countries, not of world population density as claimed in the caption, and it&#

There's a problem with that explanation: the binary representation of "deleted data" has a different meaning than the control code "delete data".

Reads to me like they gave a bunch of organizations access to a priority desk that screens flagged videos immediately, as a compromise between the normal flagging process and the takedown powers that some media companies have been given. It

I'd argue that Greenlight was a reaction to the renaissance more than a contributing factor. Something like Desura and maybe even Humble Indie Bundle probably register higher, despite the wide reach and range of payment options of Stea

That's an interesting point, but I'm inclined to say that very few languages could come up with {1:this} - Prolog could, I think - and that running into those errors in Python would be user error. That said, this is a good example
