This is the most useless academic 'discovery' I've ever seen. Am I wrong?

How is the engine for BFG different from the older Doom3 version?

I vaguely remember using this knowledge of the scales to "cheat" on the violin. If you move your hand into whatever position puts your first finger on the first note in the scale t…

I tried it on my kubuntu i386 netbook earlier today. The ppa installed ok and when I ran 'netflix-desktop' for the first time the wine installer downloaded and installed mono, then…

Is there a youtube video? I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDGl-eDEuNQ but I'm not sure if its the same game.

They are not homoiconic. The underlying datastructure for many schemes, and racket, is not a list. It is a syntax object. Of course you can still do metaprogramming with syntax obj…

You can still do anaphoric macros with hygienic macros. http://blog.racket-lang.org/2008/02/dirty-looking-hygiene.ht... And http://blog.racket-lang.org/2011/04/writing-syntax-case-…

Its disingenuous to call scheme and racket lisps. They have parenthesis and first class functions but the similarities stop there. So yes I equate Lisp with common lisp. I didn't r…

To understand Lisp is to understand interpreters. With that understanding you can create domain specific languages which is extremely powerful. But I wouldn't recommend using Lisp …

hipster.. overload..

The major issue he has seems to be that visual studio is much easier to use than the command line + makefiles. Ok that may be but if you are porting to linux then you probably are …

Also Nacl supports threads while emscripten does not. For a large set of applications (including my own games) this is a deal breaker to using emscripten.

Beej's networking guide is pretty good http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/

I suppose bitcoin could be used as the technical solution. Maybe receivers of money can white-list certain senders so they don't have to pay anything to send to them. Then only spa…

Clearly you can't perceive sarcasm.

$ t command not found clearly they could have named the compiler just 't' instead of the overly verbose 'tsc'. all those extra characters!!

I'm not a network engineer but is this all that difficult to do? I imagine if you control the AS (autonomous system) then you can control all routes into and out of the country, so…

I don't necessarily disagree with this assessment but you can easily create functionality in C that requires looking at multiple source files to understand whats going on. x = foo(…

I spent a few minutes trying to figure out how to install the thing so for anyone that is equally as lost $ pip install sh or goto the github page https://github.com/amoffat/sh

I agree, although I have never had a performance bottleneck related to std::list that required a move to std::vector. Do you know at what point std::set becomes more optimal (in so…

165 billion divided by the population (311 million) divided by 365 days is about $1.45. irb(main):007:0> 165e9 / 311e6 / 365.0 => 1.45355239395675 Which thankfully also is consiste…

OT but is this an official signed application that can work with gatekeeper on 10.8? I recently discovered that my open source project won't work by default on osx 10.8 without me …

Stories should be able to be tagged using an arbitrary set of tags similar to stack overflow. Possibly only people with a certain karma should be able to tag stories. Then let peop…

You are only so smart. Once the complexity of the programming model reaches a certain point a debugger is necessary to validate and discover the true nature of a system. Often that…

Seeing a pull request like this might be fun once in a while but it gets old very quickly when you deal with it somewhat frequently.
