I think every version would be a bit much, especially on smaller drives if it had logarithmic diffs i.e. every change today. Every hour for the past week. Before that every day for the past month. etc. It would probably be more disk efficie

I'm hoping to port it to the CRIO for FIRST robotics, but I haven't looked into trying yet. All my other projects have been relatively minor so far.

If you wanted to try it you could put most of it in storage and try for a week/month (or however long you want to try it).

Yes, but doesn't google limit google apps to approved devices? If google wanted to they could probably use these to force OEMs to use the default UI or loose the right to distribute google apps. Of course, the article doesn't say that, so g

- Work from home a few days a week and squeeze in extra startup work with the time/energy you save. I think he's referring to time saved by not having to commute, not using company time for the startup. If that's true then it seems like g

This is basically what I did in 8th grade, then in 9th grade I joined the FIRST robotics team in our high school, which I would strongly recommend if there is one available.

I've tried it a few times out of necessity in robotics pits ( http://usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/ ). I've always found it enjoyable (except for the noise) , but I was normally doing quick changes. I think my max time was an hour and

On 2. You don't have to boot the phone after a fresh build, just load the updated build onto the running simulator.

I use hacker news. Seriously though, I've been wishing google reader allowed you to rate what articles you like and to what degree you like them, then have an algorithm sort them by how much it thinks you would like them. Maybe I should mak

Where does it say java? Afaik you can use any language that compiles to the jvm so languages that compile to it (e.g clojure) are fine. Not as much choice, but better than just java.

It was accurate around 56% of the time classifying as positive, negative, or neutral. I used a naive Bayesian classifier and guessed the highest rather than showing the percent positive.

Cool! I tried something like this, it classified blog posts into 100 different moods... it had ~8% accuracy (It also classified as positive or negative, but I don't remember the accuracy, I'll have to dig it up at some point...). Good luck

Find something that is pathetic and make a good version of it. Find something that you feel should be done and do it. I recall reading somewhere that the best way to find problems is to act like a brat and complain about everything, write d
