I love that you're doing this for free; I've done similar things in the past and learned that at some point you may be doing people a disservice by keeping old systems and broken implementations alive for free. I'd call it ve

This is an interesting one and I’m going entirely off anecdotal evidence here: yes, you will be seeing David Hasselhoff posters and the like quite often throughout Germany. Me personally, I have yet to meet a single person who unironically

Where in my previous comment did I say I knew? You are basing your dismissal of my comment on something I never said in a quite frankly unnecessarily passive aggressive tone. I am not trying to attack you personally. Your comment is FUD bec

This comment is the very definition of FUD and leans on to myths that have been debunked over and over again the last few weeks/months.

Plain and simple: No! Except when there is public interest, say politicians committing crimes, etc.

Apologies. I haven't been using Ubuntu in a while and did not know you had to modify stuff under /usr there. (Eww!)

You should be using /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*.conf for that.

It is actually discouraged by pytest-django[0] to run it using Django's test command. Just run `pytest` itself. [0]: https://pytest-django.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#why-would-i-...

Haven't used LXSS in a while but my X11 of choice for Windows was VcXsrv: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/ Just export $DISPLAY to :0 (AFAIK) and you're all set.

If you are using OpenCV and tesseract, you might have a look at Scene Text Detection in OpenCV 3. It's in the text module within OpenCV_contrib [0]. There are samples here [1] and here [2] to get you started. The paper is here: [3] ---

In my understanding you can just (read-only) bind-mount the necessary libraries into the sandbox, ship your own, or do a combination of the former two.

Wow, that page crashes Chromium (Linux, 38.0.2125.111) every time I open it.

Well Python 2 "protects" you from silly things like that and throws a syntax error. In [4]: class АnotherClass(): ...: pass File "<ipython-input-4-ad6e67ea5e19>", line 1 class АnotherClass():

Something that I really enjoyed doing as a child was typing around on an old Sharp PC-1401 [0] calculator. To be honest, I completely forgot about that "machine" until I read this article. Heck, I didn't even google for it in

Further more it is completely unusable on some touch devices, I tried iPad 4 and iPhone 5. They both scroll the page (better: bump to the top, as if you wanted to scroll past the end of a page) instead of moving the blocks. :-/

That's just too easy and doesn't make sense. OTOH one could argue that the maze itself does not fall under the scope of the Urheberrechtsgesetz because its threshold of originality is too low (no offense, it is after all auto-gene

I do not see any cubes and there's no sound using Chromium 34.0.1847.137 under Linux. Firefox works however.

I do not really understand what you're saying. 1) This is actually modular. I mean... those things are even called "modules". 2) Even if it wasn't modular, how would it matter? You're comparing to the Linux kernel.

Put a poll out there, give it at least one irrelevant/obviously inapt answer and people will click it. Not really an HN problem if you ask me...

So, first of all: Does that look like recruiting to you? Looks more like a personal vendetta to me. If you're trying to recruit someone, you're most likely not going to do it by saying "oi, look. I'm gonna be the next chancelor, don't you w

The ad hominem way of discussion may or may not be present in technical debates in general. What actually doesn't surprise me is that this style surfaces on publications associated with Dotcom. If you happen to speak/understand German you (
