Alternatively: "students who wait to the last-minute to register for their classes get stuck with the 8AM classes and perform worse than students who registered early."

In addition to the other suggestions here, Academia could be another interesting route. Look at the job boards for local colleges/universities/research centers in your area. They'r…

Sounds like a neat utility but you lost me at "download this shell script via unencrypted HTTP."

The legal change happened last year but it had been kept under wraps until today. Employees did know in advance, so it could have leaked.

I love this. I can't get the newline breaks to work in my QR scanner, but I got excited about the idea of generating recursive QR codes. i.e. QR codes that embed another unicode QR…

Yeah there's a preposterous amount of JavaScript that gets loaded because I'm too lazy to rewrite the interactive graphics. Sorry :(

I'm suspicious that that IP address isn't random at all!

YHat and Domino Data Labs both have commercial solutions for exactly this. On the open-source front, OpenCPU ( https://www.opencpu.org/ ), Jug ( http://bart6114.github.io/jug/ ) or…

+1 and I really like the idea of that model and wanted to support Synergy in particular, but I almost gave up when I saw I'd have to compile from source, then did give up once I st…
