Looks like they did a bit of premature rounding: the difference between 38℃ and 94℃ is 100.8Δ℉ rather than the 100Δ℉ that was probably there in the original markings. It's the clos…

My guess would be that a screen that can stop a rat from going up a toilet, would also prevent other things from going down a toilet

It makes sense to me that the weekend comes at the end of the week, but then again, I don't know what came first, the term "weekend" or the convention of Sunday being the start of …

I also used to have this impression, I think I got this from Rails and Django docs, maybe you read something similar? > Rails comes with built-in support for SQLite, which is a lig…

I think you mean Fyre festival, if so the documentary you're referring to is probably "Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened"

just set the timezone of your devices to UTC, and you're done! Actually getting other people to schedule meetings with you in UTC is going to be a bit trickier though.

for the Netherlands, check out tweakers.net[1] for your computer parts (they have an extensive price guide that will show you which webshop has the best prices and delivery speed).…

The highest tax rate in the Netherlands is 51,95% (Note that this only covers anything you make over ~70k+ a year, 0-20k is taxed ~35%, and 20-70 is taxed 40%). Then you pay 6-21% …

Looking at the reports, the UUID's are xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx, so V4 UUID's, which should be pretty hard to guess (barring bad PRNG, but that's a whole different prob…

Looks really nice, one nitpick: You use the placeholder-as-label anti-pattern (src: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#the-placeholder-attrib... ) in the search field of the nav…

You could ofc. erode with a smaller element, and open with a larger one, but that might be just as parameter-tweaky as this approach ;)

Is there a reason to be doing doing a closing, and then a sequence of erosions, followed by dilations? Since closing(image, str.elem.) == erode(dilate(image, str.elem), str.elem), …

This is answering the question: "Does tihs email address exist?", which is nice, but usually not the question being asked. The more common question is "Is this the email address of…

A lot of the arguments against Java seem to focus on "Time-to-Hello-World". While I agree that the first time you execute a program and see those magic words appear on your termina…

Oh man please no. Imagine having this in your pocket and playing music! The little amount of stress your pocket puts on it will make your music jump. Imagine having a magsafe conne…

UAC? is that the window I always have to click 'Yes' on when I run a program? Yeah, could you disable that?

Wow, this is really irresponsible behavior, I would've expected something better from Mozilla.. Until now they've first offered an alternative (e.g. pdf.js) before trying to move a…

Might it be that the Win7/Vista drivers for the MBA are worse that the OSX drivers? We see the comparisons: Surface iPad, OSX MBA Win7/Vista MBA Surface has different architecture …
