After playing with various (note-taking) applications/apps I found all of them severely lacking (for several reasons). I was always for the lookout of the one-size-fits-all applica…

This axe looks really awesome, physics for the win. Also, instead of using an old rubber tire, I highly recommend building a variable length, tensioning chain, much like this one: …

Just to be clear, I meant that water collected from pure air should have no salt in it at all, so drinking large amounts of it will be unsafe as it will draw those salts from your …

Isn't the generated/collected water like condensed water free of any kind of salts etc. that would naturally occur in ground/drinking water, so shouldn't it be unsafe to drink larg…

I'm waiting for the first system that is equivalent of C++. Not gonna happen anytime soon. C++ is much more than just a programming language, it is an entire "ecosystem". You have …

As a computer vision researcher, this looks very interesting, although somehow I have yet to understand how they want to generalize highly complicated optimization patterns (access…

The only non-FreeBSD systems I have to deal with by now are my Cellphone (Android) and my TV (funny enough, also Android). Made the switch from YOUR_FAVOURITE_LINUX_FLAVOUR after h…

I wish I could upvote this more than just once. Using 'struct' instead of 'class' and combining that with templated "pure functions" [1], when applicable, make for some really read…

Could we please all relax a bit. If the government tells you, they have a technology that can in principle be used, depending on type and quality of encryption , history shows us t…

I'm not so sure anymore about the password length limitations (or any other weird password requirements for that matter). For the longest time I was wondering why my bank would ONL…

If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. -- Isaac Newton One should need to remind oneself of this every single day.

Could you elaborate your dislike for mathematica and matlab? In my university departement a lot of people are using matlab while I somehow prefer C/C++ as I still cannot get my hea…

Since we are already talking about legislation, how good/bad of a climate does New Zealand's law present for entrepreneurs? Asking because I have been fascinated with the country e…

Couldn't get this to work in Chrome on OS X, suspect it has something todo with some of my extension(s) blocking needed stuff. In addition to an "Incognito Mode" (where you might s…

I really do not understand why they chose to do so. In my opinion, it does not improve readability at all, even worse, when the spacing between type and name gets big , your eyes n…
