I wish software packages had data sheets! It would be great to have a concise/standardized format with bullet points and a "typical applications" section on github landing pages.

There's also Goclipse for Eclipse.

For an excellent sci-fi exploration of using multiple personalities to one's advantage, I highly recommend "Blindsight" by Peter Watts. His recent sequel, "Echopraxia", has an inte…

If the branch is predictable, and the cpu guesses correctly, then it is faster than integer arithmetic. A branch miss on the other hand is much more expensive, about 14 cycles last…

I use Eclipse as my main IDE for C/C++, python, javascript, go, html, css, etc. I don't understand how some of my office mates don't use IDE's when you have things like: Show all u…

I'm very interested to see what Carmack does. I hope the whole team moves to Valve or something, and this doesn't set back VR another 10 years.

Looks like they also introduced a reference leak on allocation failure: @@ -198,10 +198,8 @@ sslDebugLog("SSLEncodeRSAKeyParams: modulus len=%ld, exponent len=%ld\n", modulusLength…

What are the anonymous 4096 byte allocations before every read? I would think that killall would read /proc/{pid}/stat directly into a stack buffer, especially if the reads are onl…

oom_adj is depreciated, use oom_score_adj instead. https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/proc.tx...

I'm typing this in chromium on ubuntu/xfce, alongside an Eclipse window open working on some Go code, inside of a crouton chroot, on a $250 Samsung Chromebook that has better batte…

Here's the video of the Tesla pole test: http://youtu.be/_Al3IUHt9Wc?t=32s Honda Accord for comparison: http://youtu.be/ycntFFUfGkU?t=30s

It's awesome how simulation games like KSP teach people about rocketry and orbital mechanics - I bet KSP will contribute to the coming resurgence of interest in spaceflight. Lots o…

If you set up multiple Chrome users (Settings > Add New User), you can log into multiple google accounts at once.

Sure, but then you can't use the standard library or any other libraries. Even a single exception sneaking into the codebase breaks everything.

Does anyone know of large projects where C++ handles memory allocation failures gracefully? For services that need to stay up and never crash under memory pressure, I would think C…

Just a random idea: A mode where notifications are batched up until the user is standing relatively still.

Source? ubuntu-server has nothing to do with Unity.

I noticed that too. Especially since chrome already has a "Search google for foobar" in the right click context menu.

I think they mean the model number, LTN097QL01-A02, is a samsung model number. The 1024x768 lcd in the linked document has model number LTN097XL01-A01.

Very cool. I'm try to understand the stack handling in lthread_compute.c - Can you explain briefly how this works? What is the memcpy for in _lthread_compute_save_exec_state?

With automation, many of the jobs won't come back with the factory. There will be a few highly-technical positions for the engineers that set up the plant and keep it running, but …

This. All this effort into stopping single pieces of legislation could be better directed into fixing the political system. Everyone knows that senators can be bought, but we still…
