Archivist here. Google is not an archive. Neither is Tumblr or Flickr or any other platform that might delete your content at any time. They're companies and it's their job to make money. This is why my profession exists. We don&#

The author seems to be frustrated at something but I'm not sure what. There is value in learning how to implement something from first principles. Teachers aren't sitting around scheming about how they can waste their students&#x2

Funny, I was just thinking how much this reminded me of Stanisław Lem's "Memoirs Found in a Bathtub". Must have been one hell of a vibe in Iron Curtain bureaucracies.

Technically Doc Brown was alive in 1885, having travelled there from 1955, so he was the first time traveller by a good 100 years before Einstein.

I worked for Livescribe from 2008 to 2010. The author of this article describes the Nuwa Pen as a "game-changer" but, as others have pointed out in this thread, other products have done the same thing for a long time. Livescribe&#

> From a quick look at the code, so far you can achieve the same with exiftool if you mount those sources as local drives. There isn't much else yet, but it wouldn't take a lot of work to hook this up with a vision models to ad

Does anyone know what this actually does? There's no explanation in the documentation, and the only screenshot is of the build process. I get the impression whatever it is requires metadata from a digital camera, which isn't prese

Your friends are just poking fun, of course it's a real library. I also have a large number of ebooks (in addition to a 1-2k book physical library) and the ebooks are, paradoxically, less accessible. It's too easy to just download

Yeah I came here thinking it was about books. Apparently Magic people call their cards a library? Here I am sat with a plain old deck of cards like a complete lemon.

I came here to say exactly this! I got thrown by the second image right at the top before the article has even started: "K(AW)MPL(E)KS". All well and good, if you want to write in an American accent. On a related note, writing acc

I'm doing a master's in library science and archives, currently working a couple of internships processing archives. The answer is archives are big, complex, and time-consuming. One collection I work with is 131 cubic feet of reco

I have one of these too! Although you'll probably never hear it played back on the correct equipment, you can fudge it at home with a regular turntable and a bit of wizardry on the computer. You need to digitize your turntable's o

A friend in high-school used to do the old trick of copying a DLL onto a floppy disk, renaming it "essay.doc", and handing it in to the teacher. Next week he'd feign concern that the disk must have got corrupted somehow, but

Library organisations like the American Library Association[1] and the International Federation of Library Associations[2] have codes of ethics that protect their users' privacy and intellectual property rights. I don't know that

I had a very unfortunate experience with Star Labs. I had their StarLite IV laptop and it was wonderfully slim and light. I was delighted with it. The CPU is no powerhouse, but it did exactly what I needed. Then eight months later it starte

It's designed to run on your local machine and be accessed by your browser. You can run it on a server if you like, but the give-away is the fact that it only supports single users — the original conception was for personal use. I hear

I see results in the search results for Sid and Squeeze, but not for stable. Nginx has not been removed from Debian all together, just from certain versions. This is according to packages.debian.org at least. As you pointed out, it may be t

It's probably a personal aesthetic, but the variable stroke widths make it look cartoony. It's also got a tendency to big loops — the a, p, h, and g in the sample all have very large, arched, oval shapes (this is probably what the

I'm with you, I think it's hideous. And it's not, as another commenter wrote, just the fact that we're seeing a new font replacing an old one in a particular context. I haven't seen this new font in the wild — just

As someone who printed every high-school and university essay on A4 paper, I can say it's a fine size for documents. You're right that it's a rubbish size for books, but that's a different question.

I've heard some academics who specialize in the phonology. I always thought it would sound like Italian, but the reconstruction actually sounded a lot more like French.

It's a very nice idea — I always like smartening up the look of the Web — but the resulting links are ghastly. If your word starts or ends with a descending letter (e.g. "ghastly"), then the underline looks like it omits the

I don't know anything about the scam, but I find iAlien crashes all the bloody time on my iPad. The nagging "leave a review" notification has never endeared me to it either. I'd be curious to hear more about the scam, if

Is Coin not even on the market yet? Hah, fancy — they started taking pre-orders almost a year ago. Would anyone pay $155 for a Plastic Card if they knew they wouldn't get it until October 2015?
