What sort of timescale do you mean by "soon"? When you start doing a new exercise regime, it's really common to experience DOMS[1] for the first few weeks. It really feels like the…

Might have been a misdirect reply (although useful), but yeah, agree, linear-time regex engines are generally a much better idea.

Some regex languages allow backtracking, and backtracking is usually the thing that causes regexes to blow up in resource cost: https://www.regular-expressions.info/catastrophic.ht…

I could be mistaken, but I think this is a somewhat weaker version of Android for Work, which shipped about two years ago, I believe (couldn't find the exact date). Perhaps Apple i…

First, let me say that I'm not panicking about the probability of this actually happening, but: "I'm more likely to get killed by a fall in the tub than by a terrorist" is only tru…

I don't think they're available in the web client, but if you 1) download google earth 2) View -> Explore -> Moon 3) In the layers panel, Moon Gallery -> Apollo Missions -> [Double…

Do you remember when the only way to make your site discoverable was to 1) get yahoo to add you to their hand-curated list of sites or 2) trade banners with a super scummy link exc…

Good. When I traveled out of the US, I noticed my phone battery life was terrible. Inspecting via catlog, I noticed that the amazon appstore (which I didn't actually have installed…

And if you're using some common Linux fonts (I'm pretty sure it's dejavu, in this case) that character renders as the Klingon Empire logo. 0xF8FF is in the Unicode Private Use rang…

Do you still have any contacts there? I'm one of the (former) developers of vision workbench, and it's kind of a shame that code.nasa links to a fork that's almost 3 years behind (…

I'm going to replicate the comment I made on the reddit thread here: Strongly recommend against [System76] 1) They only test against one version of ubuntu, and they seem to patch t…

Don't forget about PDS! The Planetary Data System is where all NASA-funded data ends up eventually: http://pds.nasa.gov/

Much to my surprise, rsync on osx (with the --link-dest arg, iirc) can create directory hardlinks. I was unable to figure out any other tool to delete them; I ended up having to rs…

If it was a content id takedown (which it sounds like it was, and Ars thinks so too), the DMCA is not involved at all; Google's content id system allows takedowns that do not use t…

I apologize if this seems like I'm attacking a strawman, that's not my intent. (If I did hit the strawman, please tell me how I've misunderstood...) The problem with this sort of i…

It's not the same scope as a claimed 4G attack, but you can already intercept voice and some data on every US GSM network with openbts/gnu-radio; it's pretty trivial to set up an I…

Citation? I got in on the $99 + $5/mo deal at Christmas, and I have not once received an upsell request. I have, however, received updated results every month since then. Now, eith…

While I don't really approve of the anti-sourceforge attitude, I do understand it; when SF had essentially a monopoly on open source project storage, they chose to milk it and rest…

You can get this from wikipedia, but the short answer is that the graphite moderator Chernobyl used ignited. The burning graphite released smoke fallout, which spread very far due …

You might have "minimize embedded metadata" checked in the export options; uncheck it and I bet the serial will survive the export. Also, if you want more control over exported met…

One thing to check: what is your current locale? GNU grep is much, much slower when it's multibyte-aware, even if you're searching for an ascii string. Try repeating your test with…

If you want a more visceral account, "The Corner" by David Simon is a non-fiction chronicle of the Baltimore drug culture's effect on the people who live in it. Simon spent about y…

If you install CFITSIO[1], you can rebuild GDAL with FITS support. GDAL is the crazy-format swiss army knife. Some caveats[2] apply, though. 1) http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/so…
