I didn't use Steam since switching to Linux in 2008 until now that it is officially available. Some of that 1.85% are new (or returning) customers.

Check out gensim if you want to do topic modeling or similarity comparisons in Python. http://radimrehurek.com/gensim/ It has good implementations of various algorithms, some of wh…

This is the new beginning after the burning platform company has finally been sold to Microsoft. Alternatively the new beginning for maemo/moblin/meego/whatever.

Our families and countries work differently. This scenario doesn't work if the only place to return cans is a recycling center that has no other function and is located at a far aw…

If you show initiative and return the cans you can obtain money that would not be available otherwise. Pretty straightforward in my mind.

I think one of the reasons for returnable cans and bottles is to teach children about money and work. Many people I know once ran the can business in their household as children. E…

In Finland, one gets 0.15€ per can returned and slightly less/more for different kinds of bottles. It is very easy to return these since every grocery store has a return machine an…

There are multiple music store providers and a musician should have presence in all of them. It seems that DistroKid solves this problem by uploading the music to all the music sto…

"About 3 million computers get sold every year in China, but people don't pay for the software. Someday they will, though. As long as they are going to steal it, we want them to st…

Only reason GIF is still alive is its animation support. APNG and WEBP+animation are not there yet. 8-bit palette and crappy compression do not matter when you offer exclusive feat…

Thanks! This should really be listed in the HN/rss page.

I want a google reader replacement but this requires me to install something instead of just working.

I would like more powerful filtering options and better recommendations. For example, Hacker News feed is impossible to follow as RSS on reader as it has too high volume (for me at…

No localization, I'm not too interested in USA news.

The petition will not help. Google already killed reader in their hearths when they made the g+ update. Instead of neglecting it for years to come they did the right thing and let …

I have plenty of feeds that include ads. Reader shows all images and links that are part of the feed body so not going to the site should not be a problem. If an ad supported feed …

I for one welcome this change as an opportunity for growth. Google has not put any effort into reader for some time now. Maybe some innovative company will get the google reader us…

There's even lxml.cssselect if you prefer css selectors over Xpaht.

Certainly a bit easier than dungeon crawl or adom.

This is not limited to Linux but affects all players that use libdvdcss. For example, Windows and OSX versions of VLC come bundled with the library.

What is the worst that could happen? They close your account?

You could just put all your passwords into a place where they are accessible after your death and your relatives can access your accounts regardless of any TOS you've clicked throu…

The English language has a lot of quirks where the pronunciation doesn't match the spelling or two words are pronounced the same but are spelled differently. This disparity has bee…

I guess Netflix is phasing out their disc service because it seems to be a US-only thing while they are aiming to be an international video streaming provider. Amazon streaming ser…

Then you'll be 'the guy with the odd mask' and easily recognized unless there are a lot of people doing the same thing.
