It'll use standard algorithms, although the MVP will only have one available (using pearson currently). My goal is to make various alogrithms eventually available, and perhaps some mechanism to select the best automatically (e.g., sel

Adobe has officially stopped supporting flash on Android. The last version you can still install flash on is 4.0, and while you can still sideload the apks in higher versions they get extremely buggy (as they do on my Galaxy Tab).

You should keep an eye on Mozilla's Shumway ( https://github.com/mozilla/shumway ). I recently installed it as an add-on to the firefox browser on my Android Tablet (Galaxy Tab 2 7) and have had luck with a few fla

Recommendation engine as a service ( http://savant-api.com/ ) -- absolutely nothing public yet, except a fancy d3 powered widget that has nothing to do with the service. It's cool because I'm hoping to make collabor

The switch isn't making python3 available; both python2 and python3 have been available for users for a long time. The switch means having the system tools rely on python3 rather than on python2, such that you can successfully install

CentOS is just a rebranding of RHEL, which uses Fedora as upstream source. Basically when they start a new version of RHEL, they pick some Fedora version as a starting point, freeze things and make everything enterprise ready. So, yes, t

I recently installed a new version of Office on my dad's machine and was shocked to see that you can start using Office pretty much right away, even while it's still installing. The more complicated features (e.g., making charts)

It appears to be a wrapper around a webservice that runs in process. So I assume the webservice is something like .NET and so they stuck with C# for the GUI bits.

Here's another theory (not saying yours isn't possibly right): the Chinese government has an agenda involving more and more people studying Chinese language, culture, and traditions. I'm not insinuating any malicious intent

I'd have to say some of that is likely incompetence on the people in charge of developing the exchange. In Hawaii (hawaiihealthconnector.com) the whole extent of the online marketplace is a web form where you have to give up the SSNs

There is also Guppy/Heapy, which I like in particular because you can spawn a monitor that you can connect to externally. Sadly the docs aren't very complete.

Honestly I wish they changed the name. Shopping for a Nexus 7 online or in stores is not friendly to the regular population. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing and even I'm not 100% certain a Nexus 7 on any site (besides

Perhaps your issue with the tag filtering is from an older version? When I look at lobste.rs in an incognito window, it appears I can set tag filters even without an account (they claim "Since you are not logged in, your filters will
