This is such a brilliant idea! It'd be also interesting to extract other features from videos such as colour profiles , face detection and movements of objects in the frame and camera movements. They don't need to be accurate but

Currently on 13.10 at home, 12.10 at work desktop, 12.04 on servers. I feel no need yet to upgrade my desktop and my servers. All my previous upgrades had been motivated by better config tools and installers or new software. All these issue

Ex-Gimp User here. The article does point out that most photographer workflows are in their raw editors. You get Non Destructive Editing with tools like Darktable in Linux. Non destructive editing helps to improve your productivity. It&#x27

I commented on impusle. I'm going to be echoing the sentiment here. I was seconds away from buying the development kit when I heard the news. It's with a heavy sigh that I contemplate this news. I may just buy the devkit, get com

Clicked on this because the title didn't have the 10 ways in it. Some have already commented on the link baitedness of the title, so shan't. I was ready to dismiss the site entirely after realizing I had been duped into reading a

This was my experience too. I found that I was productive 2 hours each day. The time tracker helped bring this up to 4 hours in an 8 hour day. I would play a game where I would try and beat yesterdays score. Unless you have your own office,

Being productive is pure execution of an implementation or an idea. Anything else like planning, thinking through your problem is not deliverable or visible in the final output. Yet these things are necessary. Deciding when and how much to

The government incentives are certainly there but like you have already pointed out the culture is vital and sadly absent here (London,UK). It also feels like there is no money here either. When it does come, it's paltry and requires y

This is encouraging and I think it's great that you are interacting with the community and getting feedback on your work at an early stage. This will help you grow. I guess you've posted this for constructive criticism. You should

I tried this 5 mins ago. It is surprisingly quick, like the article said, comparing to the shaving cream method. In the comments are suggestions on how to get a better glide like using glycerin or using alternate oils. I guess in a few day

I got this book 3 weeks ago. I agree it is a good book on motivation. It isn't very polished though, like some of the other popular psychology books out there. It isn't embellished with eloquent flowery writing or mind-blowing fea

I took oppurtunity of the deal and bought books on machine learning and visualization and realized that I unwittingly bought the same book twice: * Data Visualization with D3.js * Data Visualization with d3.js There's no way of revere

This news article summarises nicely why I went on an extreme news diet over the last 4 months. I broke that streak today by reading the article on the guardian about why I shouldn't be reading the news. I couldn't resist because

There is a real need for bringing infectious tropical diseases in Africa under control and I admire Gates's for what he has already done with polio in India but I'd like to politely disagree, even if it is just to refocus the deba

It's the simple things that have the biggest impact. Even though the analysis is elementary to many I thought the post was useful.

I'm not expecting to get all the bells and whistles of an ORM in the 50 lines so my comment is on the code presented. You probably want to escape the text. Use the execute(QUERY[,optional parameters]) syntax. http://stackove

Log aggregation and analytics is a hot space at the moment and in all fairness I think that you are being taken advantage of. I've read the messages and you are under no obligation to provide free support for source code and you should

London is peculiar compared to Silicon Valley or Silicon Allee(Berlin), in that it is the hub for Finance, Retail and Media,Politics and Advertising and it is also the political capital in the UK. Talent is expensive here and scarce. Compar

Repeating the task over and over again will reinforce good habits ( if you know the language well) and bad habits, if you are learning the language in the absence of a reference solution or someone more experienced to review your work.

I use a hybrid approach of GTD for managing lists and the pomodoro technique ( a task time bucketing system) for execution of tasks. It works well for me. GTD isn't perfect but it does cover many of the concerns that the author has rai

Hey steveridout, you've got a point there. It's a weakness I've ran into many times when I move away from languages into learning something like statistics or hard algorithms. It's possible, by simplifying the informatio

It's great for learning facts and exploring a subject. Spaced repetition is fascinating. Especially in the realm of language learning. Vocabulary acquisition can be optimised by deciding the right order of words to maximise your abilit
