Does this offer playback speed controls? I watch a lot of non-fiction video content, but a lot of it is too information-sparse to watch at 1x.

Cling, from CERN, provides a REPL: http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/cling There are also clang-based auto-complete and syntax-checking plugins for sublime, emacs, and presumably …

I'm not on Lion, but even on Snow Leopard, Sublime will only show a tab for a file if you double click the file in the sidebar, or edit the file (which Convert Tabs to Spaces is do…

I find mathematical notation to be very read-friendly. Reading a paper from an unfamiliar field can be tough, as knowledge of the standard notation is typically assumed (as is the …

The thing I'd really like to see in a portable computer is a touch-interface/mouse-interface hybrid. For example, you dock your iPad in a keyboard docking station (with mouse), and…

Ah, good ol' At Ease. The crippled app-launching interface it provided seemed to be entirely responsible for the nearly universal hatred of Apple computers by students at my high s…

St Cloud, MN (An hour west of Minneapolis) No remote, unfortunately. eBureau ( http://www.ebureau.com , http://www.apple.com/business/profiles/ebureau/ ) We're looking for a (junio…

"My students need iPads to assist them in English, Social Studies and Creative Writing!" ($10,648 to go) I bet they do. (Of course, a lot of the requests are reasonable, but I'd li…

Getting enough sleep? Definitely worth a watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hAw1z8GdE8 Personally, I found that taking a full-time programming job destroyed my out-of-office mo…

Another headphone to consider is the AKG K81 DJ, for around $60-80. It's a closed supra-aural design (sits on your ear). I haven't tried them personally, but I've heard they sound …

I code almost all day wearing a pair of these. Without music playing, they mostly block out a conversation on the other side of the room. With music, the outside world is nonexiste…

So the idea is to turn a large empty building into a datacenter.. How is this interesting or original? Google asks what new business types would become possible given a lot of band…

https://www.revolutionmoneyexchange.com/ Payments to you from your customers are free, and it's free to transfer money to and from a bank account. Apparently AmEx is buying Revolut…

Interesting idea. "But if we did that, who would drink Coors and drive forklift for Walmart and not complain about it?" Robots? If the education system elevated more of the populat…

Unless it has been diagnosed as carpel tunnel syndrome, I would guess that the wrist pain is actually a more general "repetitive stress injury" (RSI). Proper posture helps a lot fo…

Sure, but it's the massive parallelism of the hardware behind "the mind" that allows a human to intelligently filter information quickly. Our serial conscious thought is in no way …

An option perhaps, but "just install git" seems even easier.

I mostly agree, but have been using git almost exclusively lately. The big draw for me is the ability to (easily) commit locally (and roll back those commits if I mess something up…

Just out of curiosity, what part of the world are these puddles in? Assuming that all technology won't be disappearing anytime soon, it's probably safe to share ;)

I'm thinking of picking up something similar for traveling. What model are you using?
