Great question; I'm an engineer at Heap. This data model fit our needs at the time, however, you're absolutely right that these user rows do become quite cumbersome as they grow la…

While that's certainly true, the distribution of asteroids by size [1] suggests that increasing size by that much decreases the probability proportionally? [1] http://www.aanda.org…

Home prices are rising rapidly, but rent--even in central areas--is still quite reasonable for tenants.

Sure, why not. Dry cast iron skillet, put in oven, heat to 500*F. Prep steak with olive oil and salt and pepper. Take skillet out of oven, put on stove at high. Cook 30 seconds on …

What kind of FPGA package were you previously using? Many FPGA CPU simulators attempt to be cycle-accurate for the purpose of architecture development, where the emulator has the l…

Even more interesting ethically considering a large portion of Mozilla's revenue comes from Google.

I was thinking the opposite. I'm glad he's charging for upgrades, and charging a decent price for something some developers use all day everyday. I hope this will enable him to con…

In the example URL you gave, the content of the URL (base64): ({:project-id "505a125e44ae42e05a750c97", :object-instance "2", :object-type "0", :device-id "1234"} {:project-id "505…

The unlabeled referral link here at the end praising his host bothers me a bit -- shouting praises for a good service is fine, but at least note that you are getting a kick back. >…

I don't have serious problem with this... but ballot stuffing and fake account registration seems the domain of SEO/blackhats or Anon. This isn't a 'cute hack' worthy of praise -- …

PowerPC has a weakly ordered memory model, so older Mac programmers are no strangers to this sort of stuff. There have been many multi-core ARM devices out in both the Android and …

This is needlessly complex. I really don't see pixel ratios of anything more than 2x being useful. Having two versions of assets is painful enough. The apple convention, of having …

Yes. It's already somewhat common elsewhere in the world, by simply printing new barcodes for other sku's, sticking it on an expensive product, then hoping the cashier won't notice…

And if the infringer doesn't reply to the 'friendly' request, the 'threatening' one can certainly still be sent, with the same effect as if it were sent initially.

I'd guess the display pixels are holographically projected into the field of vision at infinity?

Chrome is using the UIWebView control (same as Safari, sans NitroJS), so I don't know if that's even possible.

I've been wondering about this, if I'm the only one going crazy or what. I don't think the ones that appear in your news feed are called "sponsored stories", but I could be wrong. …

Specs say 216ppi? "7” 1280x800 HD display (216 ppi)" The Retina iPad is 264ppi.

Not everyone drinks it for the caffeine alone. It's quite delicious when prepared properly. So, I don't think you're crazy if you're not crazy about coffee's flavor.

Yes, it is dangerous, and totally breaks basic firearm safety rules.

Most on-die embedded DRAM is one cycle away for a whole word (I'm not sure about arduino but I'll bet it's in the same ballpark). This uses a 500 ns pulse for each bit, so reading …

Angry Birds is one of the most popular applications for the iOS platform ever. It has sales in the millions, and this model isn't comprable for indie software that doesn't have tha…

He mentioned he was in Texas, so this is indeed the case.
