I wonder if there's a way to preserve their cloud.typography service through this. The article states that ownership of the fonts was transferred, but I imagine most designers woul…

On technical counts, I agree. The scenario of a poorly implemented filter reminds me of "porn before the Internet": young people learning the basic tricks to gain access to forbidd…

I think that is rather straightforward: http://elixir-lang.org/blog/2013/05/02/elixir-on-xen/ Most of the work really is on the Erlang side of things.

Something along this idea[1], but properly drawn by a designer in more than three minutes? [1] http://i.imgur.com/DR2w9Jl.png

What brought you to develop this library rather than relying on Incanter/Colt? The scope of HipHip seems different, of course, but there is enough of an overlap to warrant the ques…

Wonderful, thanks for the continuous updates. I hope you will keep gaining momentum around this initiative; having a solid community-supported set of benchmarks which routinely imp…

A warning: this traditional, over-the-top gesturing is particularly common in certain cities and segments of population. (The kind of colourful things that short tourism&culture ar…

It seems to me that downloading a subset of a typeface from a webpage would be less practical than downloading an entire collection from a torrent. Concerning the service itself: a…

Ironically enough, the lead actor (Ulrich Mühe[1]) had really been under Stasi surveillance; a surveillance to which his then wife allegedly collaborated. [1] http://en.wikipedia.o…

Does it offer PGP integration? Well-designed email clients with proper privacy seem to be very hard to come by, and new players in that niche would be welcome. Particularly in the …

While I lack the skill set to fully appreciate the paper, I must say that it is very refreshing to see innovative proposals on this kind of all-important foundational elements. The…

I am fairly sure that Light Table is a node-webkit[1] app, so your assumption should be correct. [1] https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit

Many would argue[1] that “responsibility” is an entirely perfunctory concept when you admit that society should judge and control you based on the actual consequences of your actio…

I must say that I am very glad to read this, since I am also looking forward to deploy RethinkDB alongside Clojure (or Erlang, but I fear that will have to wait for quite a while).…

The new UI is quite nice, although its striking similarity to Sonora's design leaves me with quite a bitter aftertaste. Unfortunately there seem to be no substantial improvements o…

I would argue that your hopes would be better served by Unity Engine[1] and Mono[2] than by Steam. While high-budget releases have almost completely ignored the Mac and Linux platf…

Yes, they will need to be updated, for the most part. I am fairly sure that Sublime Text 2 was Retina-ready after a couple of days from Apple's announcement, though.

I assume it is not relevant, indeed: I was merely asking for comments over an unrelated point that was made in the essay, which is that there are no working Lamarckian mechanisms i…

(My interest in evolutionary biology is quite lax, so bear with me if I say something particularly wrong.) I was under the impression that, in recent years, there had been a small …

I think that this comment bears a certain indulgent mixture of patriotism and naïvety. Dismissing Iran as an "evil theocracy" and a "a totalitarian terrorist state" is not entirely…

A very interesting feature of the Ivy Bridge architecture is a new digital random number generator code-named Bull Mountain, which uses teetering as an integral part of its working…

I would be curious about the details of such "unpacking". The apparent volume ratio of the born insect over its egg's is quite stunning.

I personally find The Necks very good for almost any kind of work. They produce minimal jazz, which I prefer to more distracting music — even if I might listen to it otherwise, suc…

I agree on the quality of the description, but only to a certain point. I think that neglecting to state that their actions are largely retaliatory could have been used to not-too-…

Allow me to interject for a due correction: the inuit "having x>>1 words for snow" is a widespread misconception; Eskimo-Aleut languages feature compounding (as German does), thus …
