I've largely abandoned macOS for Linux when it comes to work stuff, but I still have a Windows desktop for games. That said, I've been very impressed by my Steam Deck. Windows 10 w…

Amusing - The statistics from your Department for Transport seem to suggest that you are either an extreme outlier or just entirely wrong[1]! Or maybe this can be attributed to you…

This is just an anecdote, and I wanted this to be a reply to the OP, but I've always felt there's a weird sort of connection between the stonemasons who built these masterpieces an…

Pushshift.io is pretty close to what you were talking about for Reddit comments; they make their archive available periodically at http://files.pushshift.io/reddit/ IIRC Pushshift …

As a software developer, the thing I love about the cubesat concept is the presumably reduced iteration time. The idea of waiting for years only to find out something went wrong on…

Presumably attendees from Calais or Paris experienced slightly less culture shock.

Emphatically agreed. I've wanted to hear about this for years.

As much as I dislike Northern Virginia, I'll have to disagree with you about Maryland. Chattanooga has municipal broadband, and they even provide service to places within Georgia: …

It's a combination of the links that get posted, the people who post here, and the moderation. It's apparently enough of a draw to have me lurking on this place nearly daily for al…

The specified limit was 2 submissions per week, according to the people organizing the competition: http://www.image-net.org/challenges/LSVRC/announcement-June-...

I've been exclusively using Linux (Antergos) on the XPS 15 since mid-February. Installing was remarkably easy, though I haven't had time to mess with the fingerprint reader or GPU …

You might enjoy Stephen Baxter's "Xeelee" books. I started with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_Diagrams and enjoyed it, but could see its various stories coming across as too…

Maybe I could be hitting a cache or something, but here's what I see: $ host Altaba.com Altaba.com mail is handled by 10 alt4.aspmx.l.google.com. Altaba.com mail is handled by 1 as…

Well, at least they registered Altaba.com. No IP address as of now, though it looks like their mail is handled by Google Apps!

I'll punt as to the accuracy of your "moralizing America" sneer, but remember that Disney chose their mascot--not the American public. Additionally, my understanding is that Donald…

Agreed. For the last two years or so I've found myself weighting text-heavy websites like HN, or Reddit much more positively. What I find disconcerting is that this shorthand seems…

This sounds like a great idea, and I can't help but think of this as a very "Valley" take on Renaissance-style patronage. Here's hoping this effort has similarly transformative res…

You might find http://realearth.ssec.wisc.edu/ useful. Just be sure to click on either the "Presets" or "All" tabs within the "Layers" section. Oh, and if you decide to use the ani…

That's a pretty interesting way to think of it. The only other platforms (AFAIK) that come close would be the JVM and Mono/CLR. But the browser is more like a user-facing, interact…

For whatever reason, the following snippet prompted me to see who the author was: Amid the hundreds of congratulatory messages I received, one stuck out: “Were you a bully at schoo…

There's Nikki and the Robots: http://joyridelabs.de/game/ There's also Super Monao Bros (which used to be called Super Nario): https://github.com/mokehehe/monao/tree/master

AFAIK this refers to ZipPy: https://bitbucket.org/ssllab/zippy
