Resolution growth didn't really stop. It's just that vertical resolution growth took a huge backseat to horizontal res growth for a decade or so. I guess since vertical growth didn't really occur, there was little need for UI

If I remember correctly, you're always allowed to start the first insult. Pick an insult you don't know the answer to. Hopefully your opponent knows the correct response. If he does, you learn a new response to an insult. If he do

I too am wondering this. This tool would be great if it could directly use data from my own databases. But it seems data has to be imported first: http://fnordmetric.io/documentation/chartsql/external_data_s...

This focuses mostly on simulating unreliabable networking. Is there a tool, perhaps some LD_PRELOAD wrapper, that can simulate unreliable everything? I'm talking memory errors, disks going away, fake high I/O load, etc? I once wro

The threshold is 500, as far as I know. Whenever I reach that, I delete my account and create a new one. I'm probably one of those people who downvotes others that I don't agree with, and I don't want that power. Especially s

I got the exact opposite of that (or I'm misunderstanding you).. The title of the story on reddit is: > "Please remove mitsuhiko/* (This guy is complaining about tip4commit, please help educate about Bitcoin)" and the

I think tip4commit is a pretty hostile project itself. It deserves a hostile reprimand. And since the creator refuses to even opt-out (let alone opt-in) projects, I really can't feel sorry for them.

Downvotes on all your comments is rather rare, and usually an indication of downvote brigading. Nothing wrong with pointing it out, IMHO.

As a dutch person, why do you think that sounds racist? It's like bloodlines. One half from one bloodline, one half from another bloodline. It's mostly used to refer to offspring from two differently colored people (not necessaril

Search is hilariously bad in all email clients, including gmail. Google managed to solve searching on the web by just throwing enough information in it until you kinda always got what you wanted to know. But that doesn't work for email

Text is the universal interface. You can do things with it. You can strip it, cut it, transform it, send it to other places. Humans can read it, programs can read it, your printer can output it. It can be sent to web APIs, it can be stored

As far as I can see, this is largely correct. But do realize: - that environments are inherited by child processes. - It's not just Web servers that might execute scripts (DHCP could also be vulnerable, SSH with command restrictions, m
