I find it a fun coincidence that the guy's last name, in whose name the domain is registered, is also Hill.

That's a very weird naming pattern for articles that phys.org seems to follow: XXX does XYZ. Now I'm quite aware that that's the usual "buzzfeed" approach for naming their posts but I'd expect more from a scien

What Number26 is doing is essentially: create a simple UI for accessing your bank account. Think of it as wrapping the "traditional" mywirecard service (= prepaid CC service with a terrible UI) in a modern interface with some adde

Reading such comments on Rust I'm always wondering: are there any plans to make parallel execution a core feature of Rust? Given the safety information that the compiler generates, it should be relatively straightforward to offload &qu

A platform that uses consecutive app ids which are pure integers and which you can actually crash (as in, service returns {error: "INTERNAL_ERROR"} if you provide an app id > INT64_MAX ) isn't really trustworthy from my po

I wouldn't be too surprised if the increase in scripting language usage and maybe even better debugging support were partially at fault here.

That's the 'first-past-the-post' system at work here. Sadly it's unlikely to change anytime soon :(

Regarding your comment on "excessive force", I'm reminded of [0] and how the reaction to that in the news has mostly been along the lines: well, the police education in the US doesn't really contain much on how to deesca

Those 3 I linked above are mostly research projects, all funded as part of FP7 and the EU doesn't seem to do much PR for those themselves. I'd expect the upcoming (pan)"European Open Data Portal" to receive significantly

In general, the EU is _very_ strong on open source commitments. Almost all projects that I know of and some of which I'm working on funded as part of FP7 (Seventh Framework Programme) will eventually end up open-sourced.
