i need to go out, so this is just off the top of my head, but isn't this really just some kind of efficient approximation? in which case (1) can it be extended to other problems tr…

the garmin data actually is in an open format. i've written software to decode it using publicly available documentation. the software is free to use. you can copy the (.FIT) file …

if anyone is interested, i have a project that allows you to process and visualize data from garmin devices (FIT files in general). it includes a command (ch2 fit records ) that du…

this is excellent, except that it doesn't read so well.

http://gallium.inria.fr/~fpottier/publis/mezzo-icfp2013-long... http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/4960 thanks; these are all very interesting.

it's more than that. i cannot get to my (presumably clean, running linux, carefully maintained) home machine situated in chile, connecting from the uk.

ah, thank-you. that makes more sense.

what an awful diagram. it implies there's some kind of symmetry that relates all four, but when you look at the details there are asymmetries. if you think it was helpful look at i…

you want mode, not median. there's no reason to think that the background is close to the median colour. that's kinda the whole point of the article... (median works well if you ha…

i just wanted to say thanks to the truecrypt devs for a decade of largely unthanked and criticised work that, as far as i can tell, has been impressively reliable. [kinda disappoin…

just want to second uml distilled. if you need to use uml you should read it - it's very slim and very practical. http://martinfowler.com/books/uml.html also, uml with a tool like …

when openssh uses certificates it still uses its own protocol (even with the x509 patch - without that, the certificates used by openssh are not even the same kind of certificate a…

they seem to use accelerometers - either in your phone/table (which you have to then place on the mattress under a sheet) or in a wristband or watch.

yeah, one of those (thanks). edit - knowing it was a watch i've found this - http://www.sleeptracker.com/ but if you have something simpler / less expensive / more attractive to my…

can you give a hint? i think i understand the article (well, i haven't read it, but i sometimes need to tailor code to work better with the cache on a cpu), but i don't know what y…

a simple, motion-sensitive sleep alarm. i just tried to find one, but they all require a phone or tablet. they're nothing simple and stand-alone with a very basic interface.

maybe he needs someone else to show him how to be happy. shrug. in my experience, people telling me how to live my life tend to be a pain in the arse. but maybe i am projecting.

i've stood my ground for my beliefs when people were ridiculing me for doing so. it's a lonely position to be in. i didn't share eich's views here, but he's free to have them, and …

so what? my impression is that colin is happy with things as they are. why should he change his business, which makes him happy, because someone else thinks it should be different?…

its the same thread that's already been linked to and discussed in earlier posts here.

it would help just to have the y axis labelled correctly. afaict the y axis label is the same for both graphs (the default and the alternate link provided as sibling answer)!

it's not a "non-apology". it's simply not an apology. are you so used to people kowtowing to indignant internet hordes that an authentic voice explaining his position just confuses…
