Love the look of the site! How are you getting these printed and shipped? Do you do it yourself or consume a 3rd party service?

Like the author's group of friends, mine has stopped throwing LAN parties. I think our last ones were around early WoW time. However, large LAN parties are far from being dead. There's Dreamhack and the like, and my alma mater run

Good to note that self hosting Gitlab (CE in my case) is a breeze. I'm pretty bad at infra and sysadmin stuff and I've been maintaining an instance for a group of friends for about a year now with no issue. Installation is easy, u

Thanks a ton! Am I really seeing a ~2x increase?

I just want to say (since you're here and this is a post about Gitlab) that your product is awesome. A few friends and I spun up our own instance of the CE about a week ago because we weren't too happy about Github's stance.

I have to disagree that it's the least interesting topic. A relationship is never a one way street and while in this situation one of the party clearly seems to be at fault, it's not always the case. Of course it never should ha

If that's how it came across I probably really expressed myself improperly because that wasn't my point at all (English being my second language probably doesn't help and I really hesitated to post because I knew there was a

Thanks for the link. The exhibits really paint an appalling portrait of the guy. He's acting like an insecure 14 year old. I don't want to downplay the situation but I feel like it's your responsibility as an adult to disen

You can't download Beta versions of dev tools without having a paid subscription, only released versions.

If you're just removing part of the image after cutting around it with a tool like this, having the object interpreted as 3D isn't really going to be of any benefit. The impressive thing here, imho, is the seemingly effortless and

There used to be an apple on the key as well as the command symbol. At least on my (very) old PPC iMac.

So no one should be commenting on this topic unless they have a perfect understanding of scientific theory? That seems terribly counter-productive. I'm commenting on this topic to share my opinion and, to the extent of my knowledge, try to

You can say the exact same thing about any scientific model. My view on this has always been that as long as the model accurately predicts experimental results, assume it is correct for your calculations until it is proven to be wrong. Eve

It actually IS demonstrably true that the brain is made of atoms. That makes it a quantum system, which our modern physics tells us how to simulate. The use of the term "impractical" here refers to the fact that we don't have quantum comp

Ramanujan isn't different than you or I in that regard. His brain was an assembly of neurons, connected via synapses. There's nothing pointing towards the fact that this assembly is any different from any machine, regardless of achievemen

I completely agree and that's why that part of the interview shouldn't be the only one. As someone said earlier, it should be a negative filter of incredibly unsuitable candidates. In a perfect setting the interviewer wouldn't evaluate the

Completely agree. I recently had an interview where I was asked to solve a job scheduling type problem. So I see the potential graph, remember topological sort and bingo! Right after that the interviewer told me they have a lot of code th

On the other hand, if I'm hiring someone for a high pressure job I don't want them to fail when under pressure. I understand your point but I don't really buy it. I train lifeguards as a hobby/side-job (I'm in uni right now) and pressure i

The real issue is that he spits the homework (or take home exam) question as-is on math.stackexchange and has others solve it. Asking a concrete, directed question meant to understand part of the problem and get him "unstuck" would probably

It reads to me like he's conscious of the challenge his company will face rather than admitting defeat. This is a good thing. I also expect the man whose other company sends stuff into space to be able to lead this one to overcoming those

I personally didn't even have an internet connection when I got my N64 :P There was no online mode and AFAIK no way to multiplayer across multiple consoles. Multiplayer was 2-4 players slit-screen on one console.

Thanks for the clarification, I own a 7970 and the article kind of disturbed me. I hadn't thought about the fact that AMD isn't the only one to use the GPUs. The fact of the matter is (for me at least) that I paid for the 7970 as it was on

I absolutely agree with "[...] I pay that much for something that is very well done and helps me do things I need to do." I'm also on your side as to what the App Store has done to software's perceived value. Todo lists just don't happen t

As much as I agree with you and as much as I'm displeased with people having trouble selling things they worked on for months for over 0.99$ I would never be able to live if I had to pay 50$ for every little piece of software I use. 50$ is

Pretty much only taxonomy, anatomy and cellular biology remain once you take away evolution from a biology class (before university level at least). All of them are important and insightful, but of those 3 I think only anatomy is on par in
