MPD is brilliant. I've been using it for a long time now and have always been happy with it :)

This is really impressive, especially the speech recognition part. I can't really judge anything else, since I don't speak a word of mandarin. The speech recognition though is easily the best I've ever seen. This is almost the kind of recog

For me, productivity changes on a day by day basis. There are days when I'm able to stay focused and work from 8am to midnight, taking a half-hour lunch break and a 5 minute break every 3 hours and I actually get a lot done in that time.

For me, personally this isn't much of a problem, since I've got exactly no data at all hosted on cloud services. All the data I want to use on the go, as well as from home, I host on my own server. Therefore the data is, as far as I know, m

Sounds right, yes. Most elderly people I've met who still were mentally fit have been using their heads their entire life. Obviously this is anecdotal but I think it's just like a workout for your brain in order to keep in shape, just as be

From what I've seen, mate (the Gnome 2 fork) looks decent too. After the disaster that was Gnome 3 I've went away from full DEs to a simple but great tiling window manager (awesome, that's the name of it as well as the description). Since 9

But we've had personal communication for ages now. That's email, IMs, Skype, etc. I wonder how many users just use Facebook for the sake of private messaging by now because the topics that fuel conversations between friends are often of pri

Why isn't there a keyword stating "don't optimize this!" in the C Standard? If there is is, please correct me. There are a bunch of similar problems introduced by optimizing compilers that could be solved with such a keyword.

In Portugal, the average wage is 777€/month, paid 14 times a year, resulting in about 10800€ a year. Not exactly 10000$, but close.

I just checked on my Xbox. It seems to be very alive and has no intentions of dying until the next generation arrives. Really, this is the second article I found here today claiming that the console's dying. It isn't. Mobile isn't gonna kil

About 50% usage on two cores here when the tab is open. Still, I think this is way too much for that sort of effect. Oh and I was humming it as well ;)

I use "du <directory> -h -d 1|sort -h" for this because large files may be nested in directories and ls doesn't display the size of content directories (as far as I know). The output is sorted. Note that the "-d" flag for "du" doesn

What is it with all the Game of Life posts lately? There seems to be a new one every other day. Not that it's a bad thing, I think the GOL is a marvellous thing and the SmoothLife video was mesmerizing. I'm just wondering why they all pop u

Looks good. However, nothing's going to stop me using TheSansMono[1]. I've discovered this font a while ago and have never looked back. I like the look and all the characters that might look similar have been worked on in order to be easily

Not just successful, it's really good too! The API is rather easy to use, it's lightweight and (for small to medium sized databases) it performs really well. Not really suprising it is so widely used.

Good point on the city cars and yes you're right, predicting the future has never gone well and I can't predict how the infrastructure is going to look like in a decade or so. However, the hydrogen fuel cell technology is here now and it

Politics aside, Tesla is not the future either. At least not with their current models or anything derivable. Sure, they're doing a great job building battery powered electric cars but personally I don't see how they can work for everyone i

Uh, well. I don't know where to start really. On the one hand, this article is about racism and other forms of hatred at a large company, which is obviously wrong. It is about a personal experience. Every sentence written tells about what O

There was an article on HN a while ago, describing how a developer traded his laptop for a tablet and a Linode box. He'd ssh into the box and work there. I thought it was really elegant and thought about trying something similar. However, I

There are devices that do that. Some quick googling for "keyboard laser projected" finds a couple of products. Actually I remember such keyboard projector from some 6 years ago or so on thinkgeek. I'm not sure how well they work though. H

Don't worry. The EU recently standardized Pizza Napoletana[1]. Among some of the regulations are: * The flour used has to have a deformation energy between 220W and 380W * The dough has a pH-value of 5.87 and a density of 0.79g/cm³ * The sa
