Honeywell may be stodgy, but I'll take my ugly Honeywell programmable thermostat over the slick Nest that can get bricked remotely.

The pi includes h264 and mpeg4 decoding support. You only have to pay to activate the VC-1 and mpeg2 codecs. But, I don't see why you are blaming broadcom and raspberry pi for this, the cost comes from the MPEG LA's license fee fo

It's hard enough to just render high quality ASCII text. But when you consider the layout problems if you want to support full unicode, with rtl and combining characters, Indic script, etc it's very difficult.

The poster probably changed his bash to use vi editing mode with set -o vi. In this mode, <ESC>k would put the text of the last command entered back on the prompt.

You might not have to spend that money on a notary after all. My bank offers free notary services for all its account holders, and it seems like most banks offer this service as well. Try contacting your bank and see if you can save the $12

It's not the bandwidth that's the problem, it's the latency. Many problems need more control flow and branching, and that is better done on the CPU. If you need to make decisions and take the previous iterations output as an

Why don't you offer the content all at once instead of dividing it into 9 weeks of 15-minute chunks once a week? I'd rather spend the 2 hours to read all of it at once, instead of having to wait 9 weeks to read it.

The article is just a really short recommendation to check out Karpov's full book at this page: http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0391/ So, I'd say it would probably be a good idea to change the submissio

I see what you're saying, but respectfully I disagree. The importance of parsers and run-time systems in compilers really depends on the language you are compiling. There's a big spectrum there. For runtime systems, on one hand yo

I left this comment on the author's page too, but I've copied it to HN as well: I'd also suggest learning and writing your own Forth. The Forth language is very simple to implement, simpler even than Lisp by a long ways, I&#x

#include repetition is not really that much of a problem these days. Put all your #includes in one include.h file, and include only that include.h in the rest of your code. Then make a precompiled header for include.h (gcc, clang, and even

Hi Jason! I read your "Clever Algorithms" book a couple of years ago, and I loved it. I never had a chance to thank you, but since you're here, thank you so much for writing such a fun and interesting book. I just loved it, a
