As Brian Dunning puts it: «No, it's not too early to criticize the misinformation that cut short Steve Jobs' life. It's the best time.» https://mobile.twitter.com/briandunning/status/1217854435356... I pretty much agree with that.

Did anyone manage to fork Dive Into HTML5's mercurial repository at hg.diveintohtml5.org recently? I had started translating the book to Spanish and now I'm left stranded!

It might. While this trial was meant to check if this vaccine could help prevent or restrain the infection (a prophylactic), in the same press conference¹ where these results were presented, the authors announced they were about to conduct

Given that the number of ancestors for every one of us grow exponentially with each generation, I think the significance and value of a 'yes' answer to this poll dilutes equally quickly with the number of generations. I mean, it's quite dif

Does anyone know approximately how much dedication would this course require (in hours per week)?

I've checked and you can add a contact to as many circles as you want.

FWIU, this new architecture makes most of 2D acceleration go through the 3D pipeline, saving a lot of overhead from switching between the two current "rings" (BLT for 2D and RENDER for 3D).

Granted, percolation sounds pretty cool, but if the article is referring only to single-server/single-core Solr architectures, then that speed comparison is unfair.

Watch the picture at Geekosystem. They provide a couple of comparisons between this new algorithm and hq4x.

But your argument seems like a straw man to me, as nobody is proposing that dichotomy. As long as renewable energy sources can't stand as a viable substitute in terms of costs (economic, environmental, power per unit land, etc) and can't co

Not to mention the generous amount of non-nuclear catastrophic industrial events that already happen from time to time. Oddly enough, nuclear still has a worse reputation than hidroelectric energy, the chemical industry or coal burning. ht

But that's wrong. Just because this thread is about human safety doesn't mean that a lot (lot, lot) hasn't been written about socioeconomic aspects of the different energy sources.

by vibragiel 15y ago
That's a valid argument, but this thread is all about human safety.

You don't need to bet when you can just read.

By some estimates, nuclear would be among the safest energy sources (in deaths by TWh, one of the few honest ways of comparing the risks), even safer than wind and rooftop solar power. http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/03/deaths-per-twh-by-ene

Great tip! I don't know why I didn't think of that before. I'll sure be adding it as soon as I can :-)

Sorry, I wasn't expecting to be hackernews'ed and pythex.org is running on a tiny Gandi.net slice with 256MB RAM. I'm temporarily redirecting it to a mirror in App Engine: http://pythex.appspot.com Hope you can try it now!

As an owner of a house with a garden, I'm not sure of the advisability of throwing these "seedbombs" into sidewalk cracks or similarly constricted places, as many plants, if left uncontrolled, can turn into pretty destructive suckers.

It's not that sequential access is difficult; it's that random access is much more efficient. But obviously IKEA doesn't want you to be efficient in finding what you're looking for.

Ungh, didn't know about that caveat. I guess I'm back to my initial idea of getting a WD TV Live. Any better option?

Not out-of-the-box. XBMC on the AppleTV(2) does, though.

The sell-off of shares Brin and Page were going to make was supposed to be spaced out over several years, so I think they still retain the majority of the voting power. Anyway, eventually they'll be keeping 48% of votes, which de facto st

This quote is my favourite part of the conference: "The purpose of cryptography is to force the US government to torture you."
