I find this easier to visualize with an equivalent way to pick points: drop four (n) lines through the center of the circle. For each line, randomly pick one of the two points that…

I would say "donc" is used where some might say "so" in English (aka shorter and less pompous "therefore"). I think the meaning of "Agreed" or "Right on" is rare and more implicit.…

Using a mouse is distracting. It steals our focus away. Programming can seem like a slow process because the bulk of the process happens in our minds. Keeping our focus on our prec…

Some of us are keeping the RethinkDB database and community alive. The code is open source, and development continues slowly. The next release is almost ready. It'll have new featu…

RethinkDB uses custom abstractions to hide the lower-level OS-specific code. We were able to port the low-level code to Windows with very little changes in these abstractions, and …

The RethinkDB query language can be very expressive. What you shudder to think of could be expressed as row('species').contains(function(s){ r.expr(['Saiyan', 'Human', 'Android']).…

RethinkDB's `.changes()` command doesn't support this directly. Here is the corresponding github issue: https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/3579 The code in the demo does…

An app usually sit between the database and the user, isolating them from each other. This demo does not isolate the database, it is just a proof of concept.

I told ffmpeg to use `-r 25` but the console output says `fps=7.6`. I just put it together in a few hours to see if it was possible. Given the unexpected interest in it, I'll put s…

Hello. Etienne here. I did the packaging for this release. It looks like the lucid package is no longer compatible with wheezy. You may have better luck using precise, trusty or sa…

The documentation is misleading. RethinkDB instances launched from the Marketplace all run on an EBS volume.

If it's not worth doing your best, it's not worth doing at all.

> The next step is to make this a monad! It already is! Each expression is a simple wrapper around a monad, similar to this datatype: data Expr = Expr (QueryM Term) Where QueryM is…

t.forEach(t.insert(t.without("primaryKey")); Only try this at home.

All transactions are public. It is one of the central ideas behind bitcoin and leaves no doubt about the anonymity of the transactions. It is a well publicised idea and it is even …

I love the idea and the implementation, I've been looking for something like this. If you could filter by language it would be a lot more useful. Is that possible?
