   2nd, I was about to upgrade my Crashplan service to multi user to add my Linux laptop. Now they're going away entirely so I'm back to square one.

   Really liking how some long form articles are using auto-played video in place of some pictures, flows better than a manual slideshow IMHO.

   I've heard of people audio recording blog posts for transcription later on. There's also a company whose name is failing me (Muse?) that often advertises making money on your commute by doing consultancy phone calls in your profes

   My goal with the exit code is that (I think) an exit of 0 would mean that a valid JPEG image was found.

   Thanks! Got that part working. How can you tell if djpeg exits 0 for a given queue item?

   I remember reading in a book once that during the cold war, the Soviets used microwave communication partially to get around the Allies snooping on their RF communications. So, the Allies would position satellites such that they were in the

    Soap, peanut butter, now toothpaste. 1 and 2 actually make similar sense in regards to a morning routine without coffee. But PB, no idea.

    That looks awesome! I did a little side project on rolling my own Unix kernel, highly recommend the guide! https://web.archive.org/web/20160301082842/http://www.jamesm...

    I've sometimes wonder about subtle things in our nature and if anyone is going to bother collecting history and information on them. I doubt this is the first book on hair but it's still a good example of what can be done elsewher

    There's a link to the source code on GitHub[0], is that not the full source though? Just searching for a comment like 'hello there' from the photo[1] doesn't seem to exist in the repo. [0] https://github.com&#

    The idea of starting an ISP without outside funding (unless you're a millionaire already) is pretty astonishing. Been researching the possibility of this myself recently and costs of infrastructure are simple astronomical.

    Awesome, I actually have a platter disc that looks similar but just has a permanent opening in the side, it doesn't pop up on top like this one.

    I used to occasionally drink Spike Shooter which contains 25,000% of B12. Supposedly you can't OD on B12 without a predisposed genetic condition. Still, I have no regrets moving away from energy drinks, I found my desire for them was s

    Neat right up, I think you have some interesting insight here. I don't know the fab scene nearly as well, but I think you may be missing a stage (purposefully?). After exponential growth fades, the next stage will likely be more linear

    I've been denying the "bubble" hype for a few years now, but seeing numbers like this makes me start to wonder. However, perhaps this is not the effect of a bubble, but simply the effect of companies looking more to raise IPO

    I thought living with your parents in other countries was more of an aspect of a collectivist culture, versus a hyper-individualistic culture here in the US. I'm not arguing for or against either, my point being that it is simply count

    The Atari one is interesting, apparently there is no native support for any font rendering so you have to build each letter using onscreen graphics.

    Amazing how many programming languages have been developed over the years. Looks like some non-english based ones have been added[1], quite a few more that could be added as well[2]. [1] https://github.com/leachim6/hell

    Wow, did I read that right? They are filling 3+ vaults per month? A vault is 20 pods. Each pod is 480TB. They've mentioned in the past that they use 17+2 redundancy. So each pod should be about 429TB of added storage. At 60+ pods per m
