   Dude, you're making a million / year. You could move right away to a cheaper area and do whatever you want. I'm pretty sure you do realize this, so...

   Thanks for the link. The summary seems to have a couple of tools I'm not familiar with.

   Thanks. I was going to put a timestamp, around 2:51, but it was ignored.

   Hey. I'm looking for a free polygon simplification tool similar to the one in the video. Is there any? My goal is to reduce the map size of a city in order to reduce the bandwidth needed.

   There's a difference between ending up winning (I did my thing and others liked what I did) and searching for a win (I need to get ahead / win), which leads to most likely not being true to your nature. For example Linus wanted to

    I was gonna say you're nuts, but it seems there's a some kind of pattern, so sorry about that :D. These are the filenames for three different Calvin & Hobbes cartoons from Feb 8 to Feb 10. 24 hex similarity, so... you need to

    Well, it should be pretty straightforward to first check whether the loop is working at all and then step-by-step echo the variables for example to see what's missing.

    Yeah, why not. I didn't give it much thought. This script makes some assumptions about the site structure, that's why it's able to be so short. Of course if you were able to get the image links without grepping, then it would

    And you have ImageMagick also installed?

    Thank you. You're most kind. I have many business ideas already, but I'll think about it.

    I'm studying Spanish, so I made a little script that fetches Calvin & hobbes cartoons in both Spanish and English and then converts each strip into bilingual strip with ImageMagick. It works well enough (>99%). #!/bin

    So it's not a principled decision? How many users does the site have? 10000, 100000? To me, that's a lot. Thanks for answering.

    Yeah, go ahead and down vote without explaining yourself. It's so educational!

    That's terrible. OP should take the site down and fix those issues.

    To me it's not obvious, if you consider the possibility to use a toilet a human right of the first class. edit: pretty ridiculous that someone down voted my parent comment.

    You can't put cameras to toilets, you can't prevent semeone from using a toilet, and you can't search someone's pants.

    The system should be configurable imo. You should be able to adjust parameters for how far-fetched suggestions you would get and whether you'd like to see videos you have already watched, and so on.

    That's a very narrow take on the matter. One can be deceitful with perfect information. In general you can use small prints or psychological tricks and conceal your true aim. If you know that by presenting information in a certain mann

    Google is becoming more annoying by the day. It has become customary for it to force the user to accept privacy-leaking features by grouping them together with other useful features. This kind of sneaky behavior I don't like at all.

    That's a nice idea for someone with a big family, perfect usage for multi-core cpu too.
