TeamPostgreSQL[1] is a pretty good web interface for Postgres. It has SQL autocompletion too, with completion for schema objects as well as SQL keywords. It is free. [1] http://www.teampostgresql.com

The problem is that these devices limit your field of view a lot. So, like when wearing a mask, you have to turn your head quite a lot to get stuff into the center of vision field, which quickly gets very annoying and tiring.

A lot of the stuff you use every day is made with what is practically slave labor, often child labor too. Not that it makes it any better, but there is no reason to single out rugs.

Does it fit a child properly? I have been planning on getting one for the kids, but I read several complaints that it takes some work to to get a good fit on an adult, let alone a child, plus the fact that it seems very front-heavy. I don&#

The Wii may actually be a case in point, since it never really got that much consumer uptake, and no other platform has picked up the mantle with physically active games. As with the Vive, it seemed like the future at the time, the concept

I am sceptical about this. People like to sit down for their entertainment, that is unlikely to change. Turning, swerving, swiveling, sure, but I bet most would quickly get fed up with having to get on their feet and move around in order to

There was a weird feature about Oculus at Facebook some months ago, where it was sort of hinted between the lines that Luckey and Zuckerberg didn't get along all that well. They even had to photoshop to get them into the same picture.

Your biggest problem is that I have read several quite long blog posts about Starfighter, and I still don't understand what it is . I am a developer, I like to believe of above average intelligence, I'm your captive audience. If

A transaction would have to be worth thousands of dollars to be worth the effort of setting up a successful double spend attack. For the vast majority of use cases this concern doesn't enter into the picture at all, and an immediate 0-

> He tried but never made the transition to web development from the green screen Not really anything to stress about - AS400/RPG guys are some of the most sought after programmers and can get paid pretty much whatever they want.

A similar interesting octopus story not mentioned in the article: A particular light in a German aquarium kept short-circuiting and no one could figure out why. Using camera surveillance it was finally discovered that every night, the octop

It seems like the environment scanning could be a better alternative to the array of external sensors the Vive uses to demarcate its play area. Certainly would be more elegant.

It's just that the core developers seem to be selective about what they are conservative about. Replace-by-fee, which is a very controversial change which there's never been a lot of discussion about, gets fast-tracked, while a co

Kinda weird how "China!" is somehow an argument against the big miners all by itself. Anyone is free to set up a larger mining operation if they are so inclined. Until then, the bitcoin community can't be anything but extreme

I don't think there is a problem with the way bitcoin works. The majority of miners, i.e. the people who actually have invested the money to run the network, decide what software to run, and therefore what bitcoin is. Bitcoin depends e

Depends on how hypothetical you consider the proposed hard fork is. On paper the majority of miners and most major bitcoin companies are ready to switch: https://forum.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-discussion/72-of-miners-ha...

For each of the points you mentioned I can make a solid case supported by examples that Mohammad was a proponent of peace, extraordinarily lenient towards his enemies, protected Jews as well as Christians, spearheaded the liberation of slav

GWT still has a major advantage in that you write the server in the same language as the client (Java). Indeed they are the same code base and can share code, classes, etc. I have yet to see an alternative with such a strong server side com

Awesome technique, thanks for posting. I have a very large grid of nodes for my game map (used for path finding) and this looks like it could save a lot of memory.
