Well, I used AirBnB in the past and have only good things to say about it, until I tried to find a short-term (month) stay in a big US city. I noticed that more and more people are using AirBnB to advertise their more expensive daily/weekl

I think you missed the part where battery technology one century ago wasn't as advanced as it is today.

That show is awesome, be warned if you download it you will spend the weekend glued to the computer watching it :) I wish there was something more recent in the same vein.

I just wish Google had named their "mobile operating system" as Linux/Android instead of just Android, and have a "Powered by Linux" on their homepage, this way many more people would realize that they use Linux more often than they think.

Considering that this is a molecular dynamics simulation that anyone could produce at home on their computer, with some patience, I assume it will be ready in a few years after their get their grant money.

Long time ago I wrote a small program that would mimic the entry point of a DEC terminal server, slow baud rates screen refresh and all, and with the permission of the computer lab manager I installed it in a few PCs, next to the original

Most of my desktop/server computer failures or abnormal behavior are due to power supplies not working properly, even when protected by a decent UPS.

A few years ago I built a small circuit with a few low noise opamps attached to the reading head of an old reel-to-reel broken player, which had a few burned tubes. I used it to extract recordings from my family made in the 60's and conver

it would be interesting to have those warnings go directly to the car black box, even when disabled, it might help in case of collision. Or have it send the "log" every month to the DMV and remove points from the driver's license, and revo

I can reach both www.bing.com and www.microsoft.com, but the latter seems to be blocked by a firewall rule: ~$ ping6 www.bing.com PING www.bing.com(2001:5002:200:2::c30a:b58) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 2001:5002:200:2::c30a:b58: ic

Anyone has a good argument why NOT to use this for every non memory intensive application? I always thought that using 64bit pointers was a waste of memory when not needed and this x32 abi to me seems fantastic since it keeps the several ad

I would love to work there but they only recruit U.S. citizens and although I was contacted by them last year, it ended up going nowhere when I mentioned this "small" detail. Can you elaborate on your phone interview?

I have one of those, but the Rpi HDMI doesn't have analog pins, afaik, which precludes its use with older LCD monitors with only a VGA (analog) input, which was what I meant initially, sorry if I didn't make myself clear.

That giganourmous prompt takes too much screen space. Having a few characters left to type at the end without switching lines doesn't seem very appealing to me. At least put a \n somewhere. For the directory name I'm also a fan of \w and PR

Although there's better ways to express it, you might be right. I wouldn't want this thing next to my RF power amps, cellphone devices or power tools. Turning deaf at a turn of a nearby equipment it's probably not nice. Nonetheless it look
