I recently made an ASCII art web app: https://textmode.cadencecode.com/ ... I occasionally make dos games as a hobby, and I wanted to be able to draw some ASCII on my iPad. Kinda a niche thing but open to feedback if anyone

Note that some classes exist (even if not in Spring, at least in base Java) http://imgur.com/sNk4mE2 The key thing to keep in mind with generative models based on real data is that just because results were based on random

Ugh I hate it when people make this claim or link this article. If you follow one more article link deep, they say implemented some of the earlier code that came out of it, code that provided the real business value consistently. Do you kno

Ehhh the public user base perhaps isn't really so important in foss fps games because these games are most often used as LAN games when not everyone owns the same collection of games. Before tf2, Warsow was pretty much the only good fps LAN

There are plenty of realistic applications for this! For example, controlling the reticle vs aim of a fps character, selecting units easily in an rts, selecting spells while looking around in an mmo, simulating multitouch, simulating butto

To stick with good first step approaches, look at ngrams and nwords. Basically, you need a reasonable feature to match similarity on. N-words are pretty easy to construct, a 2-gram would be every pair of words used in a document. Tf-idf is

This is a bit of an oversimplification of data mining to the point where I am not sure it is useful. Most interesting data exists in only a subset of a large feature set, where most items are irrelevant to the similarity metric. Take movi

Does the kindle support custom fonts? It would be cool if one could experiment with this and other modern fonts focusing on readibility

I've been working on a plugin using the new sidebar extensions api, and I'm pretty sure this update broke the api :( Planning to file a ticket in the chromium bug tracker soon.

Yup, less is more. Especially on an application main page. If you explain it somewhere else, just put a huge pretty button to click to find that guide, and don't give them directions anywhere else except the FAQ/Documentation page you hav

Instead of: "Get addicted to MindWallet in 10 steps: blahblahblah" Make this be a direct link that says: (Get started with mind wallet.) Then, this link opens a view to facebook connect. When the user completes that, show them an automatica

Here's some concrete suggestions: Instead of : " What is MindWallet? blahblahblah " Maybe something like: With MindWallet, you can socially or privately organize your plans and goals. Simplify problems by breaking them up into subtasks and

I feel that it would be useful if browsers supported 3d image formats by displaying them in this manner to most monitors, and supported monitors would allow better 3d images: http://linearlyindependent.com/post/472949731/a-call-for-a-b...

You should look into h-pylori stool tests. My doctor didn't catch my problems until I had a stool test done. It could be a stomach bacteria.

Although it was perhaps understandable, your cognitive bias has led you to avoid a useful modern programming language. C# works in Linux with Mono, and so although Microsoft controls the language, you can reap the benefits on a platform wit

My biggest annoyance about the apple store is when an application is updated and adds advertisements or removes features, there is no way to revert the application or know that the update is bad. Apple provides no path to complain about th

Well, focus on writing code that maps to the english or pseudocode definition, and attempt to make the pseudocode definition as high level as possible, if your goal is to minimize maintenance costs. This idiom obfuscates, as you state yours
