   I started implementing a few of these (and lots of others) ideas, and the issue isn't coming up with what to do, it's doing it intelligently. I have a small side project where I'm playing with AST rendering and the details ar

   This is very cool, but my initial reaction was "this is amazing" to a misunderstood model of what this is. This is: Create a pool of btc, distribute to those who commit to current round. What I thought this is: Anyone can tip on i

   Am I the only one that is distracted by the name "Google Sheets?" It doesn't exactly roll of the tongue, awkward to say and doesn't exactly scream "spreadsheets" when placed next to other Google Docs (Drive?) p

   Read the whole post with a smile on my face. Immigrated to a few blocks away from where you mentioned, also from Ukraine, in 1995. Both parents attempted taking similar courses. Mom stuck it out while cleaning houses during the daytime, Dad

   For a way more detailed look at memory architectures and implementation, check out Ulrich Drepper's classic paper "What Every Programmer Should Know About Memory"[1] [1] http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/cpu

    I found melatonin to be very effective, especially on mountaineering trips, where I'm not guaranteed a decent sleeping environment but really need to get some sleep when given the opportunity. My girlfriend however reported nightmares

    Also interesting, Andrei Alexandrescu's thoughts on why C++ is not for beginners: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1m1izv/goingnat... The entire thread is worth reading.

    I wasn't trying to liken the founder to a toddler, I was just trying to paint a mental picture. "College kid in a business suit" isn't very descriptive :)

    I'm going to preface this by saying this meter looks great and I realize that it's much easier to critique than encourage. Overall, I think it's an interesting implementation, but I felt the tone of the video did not match th

    For those interested in articles like these, there's a really great course on iTunes U (and YouTube, among other places) from UC Davis titled "Graphics Architecture", taught by John Owens. [1] I clicked on it being tangentially interested i

    Also, the generated JIT code isn't static and does not simply map source to native like in statically compiled languages. A lot of JS JITs, including Firefox'es, dynamically rewrite the emitted code as it executes to add support for newly-s

    I find ESC, . (esc, then press period) to be more intuitive. (alt+period works as well)

    Concur, nose down first. It's not that no one mentions adding power (which is what OP implied). Recovery was always pitch down to regain airspeed while reaching with the other hand to begin adding throttle, but power is still "one of the fi

    Adding power is one of the first things you learn when covering stalls during the private pilot license progression.

    I get the snark, but their NY HQ is in Chelsea, so why not start there? Google also offers free Cellular inside some area subway stations.

    Reminds me of grouphug.us, a site I spent hours on years ago. Edit: it must have been 8 years ago at this point, and I still remember exactly what the site looked like and how the UI felt.

    Marking a magazine with a date in the future simply increases its shelf life. As for the year-end reviews, I assume people like to look back at a year toward the end and set goals for the new year at the start. Jan 2013, people don't care m
