I think you may have forgotten to add "imho", otherwise the message looks like its telling an indisputable truth. Audio professionals don't complain about skeuomorphism and philoso…

I mitigated this by storing username in the gpg file itself using the 'user:' tag, while having the file named jdoe or something similar instead of a login name.

That's because Kate Gregory is a terrific teacher! I like her talks and teaching style a lot.

To me, the show stopper was web pages blinking white when reloading or opening a new tab. And no real way to fix that, except to change the global CSS, which messes up some website…

Sounds weird. Can you elaborate, please? What kind of problems did the coworkers caused, how exactly did you downplay your work, etc.?

It probably depends on a personal workflow, but for me, Finder works perfectly, and I really miss it on Linux. I have a reasonably organized directory structure, and I navigate and…

Oh yes, you're right. Thanks for the correction! A recent peer review is still in my head.

In my opinion, the results are not quite exciting as they might seem like at the first glance. The hip-hop and minimal house classification perform almost randomly (the random clas…

Thanks! Interesting work, indeed. I found the showcase photos appealing and nice. I briefly skimmed through the paper with hope to find some interpretation of the “aesthetics”, but…

From the article: > In Russia, Yandex.Taxi has gross bookings of $1.01 billion on an annualized basis, while Uber had $566 million, according to a presentation prepared for investo…

Microwave: you can look for the excerpts from the magazine "Trud" from 13 June 1941 (in Russian). Scientists explained their experiments with using ultra-high frequency waves for h…

There were no questions, except agressive "Really?", so I decided to skip the points. The thing is that the original author tries to put a nationalistic mask on science, i.e. "the …

It appears that you simply don't understand the definition of the word "science", nor the meaning of "scientific". Thus your posts mix up "science", "innovation" and "commerce". Yo…

That's commercial achievement, not scientific. The Obninsk power plant has been connected to a grid in 1954. It is useless to assess commercial achievements of the country which di…

Sir, you don't have mind discipline. You started off from the subject "scientific achievements" and ended up with "commercial achievements", so the discussion with you will be bori…

- Lasers - TV (Boris Rosing, Vladimir Zworykin) - Nuclear power plant - Artificial heart - Microwave owen (1941)

Regarding libraries, I often check unit tests for examples. But yeah, regex and similar docs suck.

Hi everyone! I'm exploring information consumption methods alternative to scroll-and-click ones, promoted by social networks, etc. My goal is to reduce time spent on pointless lurk…
