Procrastination is often caused by the urge to find a small comfort to escape discomfort. Checking your email account in the middle of a difficult task, checking the news, etc. Let…

"The old book 'Sinjungdonggukyojisungnam' (Revised Handbook of Korean Geography) complied in the 16th century wrote that there is a lair west of Pubyok Pavilion in Mt. Kumsu." Revi…

Yesterday's article A Crypto Challenge For The Telegram Developers was a good analysis on why Telegram's challenge fails to prove anything.

I never could adapt to the shape of the Vita. I had to hold it in a very awkward position to avoid touching accidentally the touch sensitive back panel. This seems like a viable op…

But the article itself is about a specific characteristic of analog photography. The old way is dead in some aspects but through the usage of new technologies(in this case smartpho…

I read the speech in English class when studying different types of writing assignments. We examined it for its structure rather than its content. Studying speeches may prove valua…

From my experience those slow complicated things are often avoided by developers even if it would allow them to delve further in some obscure interesting programming. The programme…

At first I thought it would be something related with a revision of their customer service. Oh well, not today.

But its weird that Russia suddenly decided to grant him this safe pass after denying him asylum in order to maintain the relations with the USA. Could there be a hidden agenda some…

I totally understand the difficulties involved, it would be impossible to start working worldwide from the very beginning. As with everything else I will have to wait for it to com…

I really hate it when I see an awesome service that I would like to try and then realize that it only works in the US.

Or consuming earth's resources at a rate lower than the production rate.

He just said that it wasn't the technical definition for the simple language used. The note is not directly related to the algorithm he then explains. Dynamic Programming can be se…

Nice article but I believe the implementation of the fibonacci sequence might be easier to follow. Its an overall simpler problem.

This is not by any means my field of study but i do agree that placebo components should always be disclosed in order to turn these kind of tests more transparent. However, how can…
