I've been doing that for years: http://kmkeen.com/c100p-tweaks/ Development doesn't require any more CPU than word processing. You're type stuff up, and there is a pretty strict grammar check. I don&#x

On the other hand... if you wanted to quickly identify incompetent individuals, give them rope and let them cause damage.

Ignoring the BS about coriolis, I think there is something legit here. Of course there isn't any power to be gained from the vortex. What you would gain is a lot of RPMs from very little head. It makes the system be high speed and lo

Areas of low contrast become whiter and areas of high contrast become more saturated. It is also more robust than k-means. The author's algo will only work on scanned images. Photographed pages from a book will often have a slight sh

How did we both do this at exactly the same minute? You botched up something with the encoding though.

This is absolutely infuriating to read because they've made it so that items are chosen randomly. Instead they should be using a shuffle. That way you don't have any repeats until you've seen everything, at which point the

It can still be rational, but you need to look at shopping as an aggregate of probabilities. Let's make it more extreme. A $50 item for free or $50 off a $5000 purchase. Discounts as big as 100% off don't come every day. Maybe

Eh, I'll stick with the PocketBeagle board. It is half the price, very easy to source, doesn't require any special connectors and has those extremely useful PRUs. Slightly larger, slower and no wireless connectivity but that is a

I have not been too impressed with fancier SAT solvers. I'm currently drafting a blog post where I compare Minisat, Picosat, Cryptominisat, Lingeling and Glucose. (Those were all that I could easily get running on Linux. Open to mor
