Enjoyed playing with blocksim. Have you considered aiming for a different market than matlab/simulink? One thing that simulink cannot do well is dynamic, reconfigurable networks of components (for example, UAVs or autonomous vehicles,

> A programming news aggregator with better categorization than HN and less noise/navigation effort than the myriad subreddits would be a great tool. lobste.rs has tags and high signal/noise; but it's very quiet.

Love zim wiki, use it every day, but: it still doesn't detect file change on disk. So after (1) edit on host A, (2) sync with git (or rsync or btsync...), (3) go to already open edit window on host B, you can end up editing a stale buf

What about a bonus for up-voting a story that eventually receives a high score? Or is that what you meant?

Yup. Utilite: http://utilite-computer.com/web/utilite-specifications . Dual GbE, though one is limited to around 470Mbps because of a limitation of the board. I have one. Great specs, but I am not totally happy with the

Where's Datomic? Maybe it's excluded because it relies on other databases as storage services?

Also, why is there a bias towards clockwise orbits in the first few seconds? Is there some asymmetry in the physics?

Took me a long time to notice that my cursor movements were injecting disturbances into the fluid. What physical laws govern these points, and how is the cursor perturbing them?

Citation needed. The Rolling Stones started in '62. Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" is from '65. Wikipedia attribute the band's name to the Muddy Waters song, "Rollin' Stone".

Fascinating. Is it possible to reduce the cpu utilization when idle?

There are quite a few quad-core, single-board, fanless ARM computers: utilite, wandboard, odroid, udoo, radxa. I have two odroid U2 that I use for testing distributed and multithreaded code. One odroid core (exynos 4412 @1.7GHz ) is more th

Also: generic functions. And hygienic macros. I miss those in ruby.

Also, with encrypted volumes, just reading files on the raspi is very slow. Consider replacing raspi with odroid, utilite, or other fast, fanless, cheap arm sbc.

According to http://www.rethinkdb.com/docs/architecture , you have a choice, for each read query, between C and A. The summary on meetup.com is apparently wrong. I am going to the meetup (but am not otherwise associated

Transitive closure and connected components are not expressible in first-order logic, but maybe you are thinking of Fagin's 0-1 law for finite relational models[1]: For a given first-order sentence s, as n -> infinity, the fraction

I used to do a lot of scientific programming in ruby. I got around the slowness of the interpreter by generating C code on the fly. You don't have to give up Ruby as the DSL and utility language. It's the best of both worlds, if y

In XFCE, you can move windows by pressing them against the side of the screen. Go to Settings, WindowManager, Advanced. Click "Wrap workspaces when dragging..." and choose your desired edge resistance. However, I prefer to re-ma
