Seconded. What I was looking for in a note-taking system was something wiki based, and this has a really nice take on the concept.

Big fan of Tiddlywiki for its nonlinearity. You can see how it works without signing up or downloading anything; the site is itself an instance: http://tiddlywiki.com/

Neat - I'm in the process of making a similar system which will spit out Spigot plugins, with the aim of letting kids create some simple ones themselves and hopefully planting the …

ServerBear did exactly this, though it seems they sadly shut down. ServerScope seems to do something similar - https://serverscope.io/ though without a huge breadth.

I can't recommend Scratchapixel enough for diving deep into the concepts behind CG (although it seems to be down for me at the moment ironically). I can't remember how much it goes…

Syntax-wise, I've found learnxinyminutes.com to be a good introductory resource. I'm also looking for a good quality resource on programmatic conventions for different languages, i…

Did anyone else think that the language used in this article was really hyperbolic and over-dramatic? Loads of unnecessary superlatives I thought.

Is it not standard to have your ID checked when taking exams? I had to take my university ID with me to all that I sat at a British uni.

I agree with you that people should probably choose a career in something they're good at, but I think that's separate to the issue of making life easier for people entering the su…

I think GP hits the nail on the head there with the homework analogy, and you with yours. Just talking to my friends in other careers about the work that I do makes me check time a…

I've seen (but can't find) some discussion on here about the movie industry in relation to this, I think in relation to what Netflix is doing with their originals. Apparently it's …

If the Official Secrets Act applies to you, it's an offence to break it even if you've not signed it. http://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summ... edit: beat to …

Instagram engineering did a blog post a while back on implementing emoji hashtags explaining (among other things) how some are represented by >1 unicode character. Pretty interesti…

I suspect it'd be pretty different. Stories are right at the top when you open the app and are used by quite a few celebs - that must inflate the numbers a lot.

Depends what you want to get out of them. I find some are mostly focused around some of the more unique/cool challenges they come across (Google[1][2], Slack[3]), and others are mo…

Their method is detailed in the whitepaper [1], mainly section 3.2. TL;DR mturk for high level annotations (frame contains/does not contain object in class), and internal annotator…

The style of having checkboxes next to very obviously positive statements feels really disingenuous. "Urge for the freedom to travel and work anywhere" - of course that would be ni…

Ditto, that was my entry to 'programming' - to begin with it consisted of copying a bunch Runescape stats scripts from Hawkee and running on my desktop. As it progressed I included…

Do you know any good resources on the future of conversational agents? In terms of what need they fulfil - I don't use Ok Google/Siri/Cortana, and rarely use my Echo but for music,…
