I would love to merge that into Arch's wtf, but it is just a collection of scanned images. No text.

I maintain my own set of modern internet acronyms for it. Speaking of which, I need to merge a pull request for that.

For a modern *nix equivalent of DESQview take a look at Twin: https://github.com/cosmos72/twin/

And how much horsepower do you need to shell into that cluster?

I'm one of those people.

I've been doing that for years: http://kmkeen.com/c100p-tweaks/ Development doesn't require any more CPU than word processing. You're type stuff up, and there is a pretty strict gr…

On the other hand... if you wanted to quickly identify incompetent individuals, give them rope and let them cause damage.

Ignoring the BS about coriolis, I think there is something legit here. Of course there isn't any power to be gained from the vortex. What you would gain is a lot of RPMs from very …

What is the net weight of a package? (And why isn't it on the packaging?)

Areas of low contrast become whiter and areas of high contrast become more saturated. It is also more robust than k-means. The author's algo will only work on scanned images. Photo…

How did we both do this at exactly the same minute? You botched up something with the encoding though.

This is absolutely infuriating to read because they've made it so that items are chosen randomly. Instead they should be using a shuffle. That way you don't have any repeats until …

I'm willing to pay $5/month for one blog: my own. That is what a basic VPS with plenty of bandwidth costs. edit: Interesting, this is fast approaching my most downvoted comment eve…

It can still be rational, but you need to look at shopping as an aggregate of probabilities. Let's make it more extreme. A $50 item for free or $50 off a $5000 purchase. Discounts …

Eh, I'll stick with the PocketBeagle board. It is half the price, very easy to source, doesn't require any special connectors and has those extremely useful PRUs. Slightly larger, …

Thanks. That makes sense. Most of my stuff has (at most) a few million clauses and usually takes between 1-600 seconds.

I have not been too impressed with fancier SAT solvers. I'm currently drafting a blog post where I compare Minisat, Picosat, Cryptominisat, Lingeling and Glucose. (Those were all t…
