In case anyone is interested in how to prove "(N + M) Choose (M) paths": Any such path ends at (N,M). Such a path can be represented as a sequence of N+M bits, 0=right, 1=up, where there are exactly M ups. So choosing a path is identical t

Sorry-- I was unclear. The regex is not for organization. It's just an easy and flexible way to browse subsets of your library, like smart playlists in iTunes, but more powerful.

Thanks for the tip, beets looks great. I use quodlibet on my laptop but this looks perfect for my squeezebox server where a GUI is inconvenient.

Have you tried Quodlibet? https://code.google.com/p/quodlibet/ It comes with a Musicbrainz plugin which allows you to select an album in your library and search for it on musicbrainz (e.g. by artist name and year or number of tracks-- so

Surprised to see no mention of the website Criticker. Been using it for a few years now (ever since I cancelled Netflix and missed the recommendation engine). Criticker's rating system is out of 100 points but for each user it scales ratin

Everyone here seems so satisfied, but to be honest I am still skeptical. It would be nice in the "browse flights wanted" screen you showed some baseline price for the requested flight (e.g. automated kayak search, though i'm guessing that

Agreed. You really don't have to be a savant to memorize these. Only about half of them are non-obvious. Another quarter are just spellings of letters. And the last quarter might be obscure, but just playing a few games using the list a

The themes I mentioned makes them visually compatible. Note that there is no fiddling, the widgets are actually rendered using the other toolkit so your Qt application inherits all of the colors and styles of your GTK settings. Of course

All routers that I interact with support port forwarding via UPnP so applications can open ports themselves. For example, BitTorrent clients like Transmission use this to set up port forwarding automatically.

Lucky for us, the new IEEE 802.11 was ratified in September and includes (finally) 802.11s for mesh networking. There is support in Linux and FreeBSD for several of the most popular wireless drivers. The open source router firmware dd-wrt

Couldn't disagree more. His vilification of these so-called "shadow jobs" boils down to this vague and indirect reference to an increase in "fatigue". I don't find any substance to this. The point of ATMs and ticket machines and self-serv

These were for university. This sort of addresses your point: Now, after thirty years, these problems seem easier. Mostly, this is because the ideas of how to solve these problems have spread and are now a part of the standard set of idea

Yes, a quadratic Bezier is only piecewise differentiable. If you need it to be completely smooth you can use a higher order Bezier (i.e. a higher order polynomial). But the reality is that if the curve looks pretty smooth, the animation wil

Yes, if you want a constant speed you need to re-parametrize by arclength, which is straightforward for quadratic (or, more generally, polynomial) curves as there is a simple closed expression for their length.

ORD to HNL 12/28 to 1/5. Hipmunk: $1092. Kayak: $917. (Both reservations have one layover in each direction and include tax. Kayak sends me to United.com directly while Hipmunk takes me to Orbitz.)

Interesting-- before seeing your post I was already planning on asking how Hipmunk is better than Kayak, if at all... EDIT: Okay, I tried Hipmunk for an upcoming flight. Pros: It offers a 30 day window for a flexible date search as opposed

Or if you like Google's service, as I do, but care about your privacy, as I do, you can use Scroogle: http://www.scroogle.org/ It's a secure (SSL), anonymous (no cookies), ad-free Google interface. You can make it the default in your sea

Isn't this what XMPP (the protocol google uses for gchat) is all about, at least for text? (c.f. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Messaging_and_Presen... ) Is A/V over XMPP standardized?

For those that are overwhelmed by the features of google docs, just open gmail, hit compose and start typing. Your message will get auto-saved as a draft. I've been using this as my "minimalist text editor" for a while now.
