PID is the hello world of Control Theory which can be used to solve very complex control requirements by iteratively processing feedback. For example these quad-copters juggling use CT even though you may think this is only possible with so

MakerBot has just not been very innovative. I see their contribution more like that of a cheerleader of 3d printing (who layer got involved with too much sugar-dadiness).

Hold on, does this article really suggest additions to Android by device manufacturers are anything but bs bloatware born by the desperate struggle of companies to emulate apple and avoid Google.

Good article. I am not sure the difference between modeling and coding/programming needs to be made as there is not really any significant coding without modeling. It's a bit like saying pilots are airplane takeoff/landing op

It's perplexing you still need to put a couple of days work into setting a up a computer. In the 90s it was all about getting all the peripherals to work. Now it's all about removing the bloatwear, data leaks, and security holes.

Thanks for the jsfiddle. I think I understand what you mean. Cross-referencing this with how the new Inkscape saves files actually makes sense. By using width/height and viewBox you can define how user/px units are converted to ph

The issue is with translating "user units" to real world units. Up until now SVG is tricky as a CNC file format because of this little detail. For Inkscape you had to translate user units/px based on the assumption of 90dpi.

Does the "Support for real world document and page size units, e.g. millimeters" mean any mm dimensions are also stored in the file as mm? For all the SVG-base CNC apps this would be great news.

Viennese Actionism could be repeated with a good shock value in many cities today. It's vile but very effective in breaking tradition and creating a fresh start. I am not convinced we have a lack of shock potential. People just seem to

"never" and "lost" aren't words I would use with Mozilla. Their vision is solid with lots of innovation going on. They have major market share. They are light years ahead in terms of privacy and repeatedly beat all

Discovered Krita a while a ago. The brush parameter system is excellent. You can really go nuts with all the settings. Defaults are good too.

Great to see I2P mentioned on HN. It seems advantageous to TOR minus the exit nodes.

Do your research on what Wifi devices to use. Many don't work and others are unstable causing agony and frustration like a thousand burning suns. After all you rely on drivers that compile perfectly on ARM. This one works well: TP-LINK

Handwriting by itself can help learning. It's not necessary to ever read the notes again. The questions is rather are there better alternatives on a computer/typing.

This article is full of bogus arguments about the limitations and rigid nature of word processors. Nobody stops you from using Inkscape, iPython Notebooks, or some other app for your scripts and get creative with your notes. Certainly handw

You are asking an interesting question. What utility does it have to compare such large and diverse populations. Without further data like standard deviation of compared units this may be point-less. It's also not just Europe. The USA

Software development fuckups can be just as fatal as manned space flight. Software is actually the cause of many space flight accidents. To think of software as some isolated system that does not affect peoples' lives is absurd. It&#x2

I love email. It works well between people who know how to write email. The main problem is it takes a lot of experience to be good at it. Many people also don't recognize it as something you have to learn. That being said good filteri

Second this. Privacy Guard in CM11 solves this and is quite simple to configure. Add to this Droidwall and whitelist only the apps you need and you have a fairly god setup.
