"Frecency is any heuristic that combines the frequency and recency into a single measure." (from Wikipedia) I first heard it used to describe Firefox's location bar (Awesomebar).

Not what you're asking but I noticed that the top background image is huge (over 6 MB). https://res.cloudinary.com/hiiidvfah/image/upload/v142022488...

> I know of no website that contains user-uploaded pictures that allows SVGs. openclipart.org does exactly that. I don't know if they strip scripts or simply forbid files containing scripts.

I went looking for something like this a few months ago. I only found http://www.ergoquest.com/ . Wide range of products but very pricey, just as this one. A cheaper, DIY alternative is possible with good monitor stand/

That's debatable. The internet was without ads once so I'd say you'd lose some, win some.

It sounds like BRIN could replace partitioning on some cases. Am I right? Assuming you have a huge log table, partitioned by week, would this be a better fit?

It's really not easy to answer if it is the right thing or the wrong thing. I will try to enumerate a few key points while being as objective as possible. a) Most Greeks feel that they have been wronged or cheated. Their anger is usual

The site works here (Greece). Trace route fails after ddf-b2-link.telia.net but that's not necessarily a problem.

I got the A10-7850K APU on release and I couldn't be happier. I built my main dev PC with it. The integrated graphics adapter is more than enough to drive 3 monitors (it can do 4 as well) running Gnome Shell. All that using the free dr

I know that's not exactly what you mean, but Chrome OS and similar cloud platforms are doing a similar thing, differently. All you need is a monitor with a web browser. If you accept the browser as the OS, it already works, it just nee

There's also http://visjs.org/ that I've used on a project. See the Network examples; it's pretty cool.

All this and the six month sentence just for "repeatedly scanning the local Hidalgo County website for vulnerabilities"? Scanning?

Thanks, as someone outside the media producing business, I found this very interesting to read. I often like to think that we don't really need big budget productions; sure, they're fun but they are stifling our culture with marke

For anyone interested, here's a few links collected by someone I know that point out why it's not so simple. It's not help, it's business. https://anestis.quora.com/Links-to-credible-sources-about-Gr...

Do you think that the 24x less code is because of its exceptional design? Or is it missing some features?

I suggest you put OpenELEC on it: dead simple distro for Kodi (XBMC) that just works! I used it to replace my WDTV Live that died recently and I couldn't be happier.

Not implying that the vim way isn't faster but on any regular text editor you can: ctrl+right arrow once or twice, right arrow to skip the (, shift+end, shift+left arrow, then type.

I used to use it a lot a few months back "mapping" my town and I had noticed that it would go at full strength even when I was staying in the same place for hours. Would it be possible to gradually slow down the collections when i

Works fine with Firefox on GNU/Linux with just an AMD Kaveri APU (and the free drivers).

Not as bad as you describe but there was a period when I used to click a lot (in a game) for many hours a day until it became painful. I used AutoHotkey to remap Ctrl and Alt to left and right click respectively and that was it. I'm no

It's sad that it's spiraling down to this but it is in practice no different than what the US is doing. There's no free speech without privacy so this looks like a "choose your dictator" kind of thing.
