    I've never been able to do this as there's usually 1-2 hours of cleanup to do after bed time. And directly after bed time I have very little will left to do housework so instead th…

    Decentralisation in that you'd preferentially download 'web' content via your friends. Every house has an always-on server and networking hardware to enable selected local connecti…

    git log -S'text of interest' has always served me better than blame. It can better jump file boundaries and find e.g. prior code that the code in question was copied from. I've alw…

    This is wonderful. I’ve often fantasised about unifying the command line and the desktop into a single UI paradigm and this project could just give me a realistic shot at trying it…

    My night time wakings have a very clear and strong association with those periods of time when I’m working on my side-project/startup. The bbc article mentions ‘meditating on your …

    None of the comments so far seem to have picked up on the mention of caffeine. For me this was the revelation; paying attention to how a strong cup of coffee alters my posture and …

    Thanks, I wasn't aware of range voting and it indeed looks superior from a reading of that page.

    I wonder how the pathologists would fare if they were also put through the same process as the ANN, i.e. given training data along with immediate feedback on whether their prognosi…

    Suggestion: don't shade alternate weeks (whether a week is odd or even is meaningless). Instead, shade the weekends, to allow you to easily identify days of the week even when day …
