There is a big problem in that the purple is much less visible when it appears on top of your own piece vs. a free square. I would suggest instead to color code it red when one of your own pieces is being attacked. There is no need to sh

I've never been able to do this as there's usually 1-2 hours of cleanup to do after bed time. And directly after bed time I have very little will left to do housework so instead the cleanup gets delayed til 9/10pm. (3 kids)

git log -S'text of interest' has always served me better than blame. It can better jump file boundaries and find e.g. prior code that the code in question was copied from. I've always thought though that we need better confl

This is wonderful. I’ve often fantasised about unifying the command line and the desktop into a single UI paradigm and this project could just give me a realistic shot at trying it out. Anyone who is interested, much of this classic has yet

My night time wakings have a very clear and strong association with those periods of time when I’m working on my side-project/startup. The bbc article mentions ‘meditating on your dreams’ as an activity for this time, however I’m likel

None of the comments so far seem to have picked up on the mention of caffeine. For me this was the revelation; paying attention to how a strong cup of coffee alters my posture and increases tension from my back through to my wrists. I also

Thanks, I wasn't aware of range voting and it indeed looks superior from a reading of that page.

Although only tangentially related to this article, the big thing I see missing from discussions of voting systems in the US (and UK) is the fact that you are only allowed to express a single top preference for one candidate. What is the Bu

I wonder how the pathologists would fare if they were also put through the same process as the ANN, i.e. given training data along with immediate feedback on whether their prognosis was right or wrong, then tested on the reserve data. Patho

There's also the tag place=city_block [1] which may be useful depending on its coverage but which has the advantage of being explicitly assigned by a human. I've always thought of city blocks as an anti-pattern in urban layout e.g

Am I the only one who thinks that primary keys should be derived from the actual data? That way it's impossible for two processes to accidentally create the same conceptual piece of data (which is still possible with uuids). It also ma

Suggestion: don't shade alternate weeks (whether a week is odd or even is meaningless). Instead, shade the weekends, to allow you to easily identify days of the week even when day labels aren't visible.

Good to see the link to the Mind Body approach — I tried all the variations on swapping out gadgets but eventually traced it back to excess caffeine causing me to work at a much higher level of stress. As an RSI sufferer I needed to relax a

"comprise" would be currently going through a transposition of meaning if English was an oral language. This should be perfectly fine and English would be the richer for it, i.e. we'd have a new useful way of 'aggrandiz
