Enjoyed playing with blocksim. Have you considered aiming for a different market than matlab/simulink? One thing that simulink cannot do well is dynamic, reconfigurable networks of…

> A programming news aggregator with better categorization than HN and less noise/navigation effort than the myriad subreddits would be a great tool. lobste.rs has tags and high si…

Love zim wiki, use it every day, but: it still doesn't detect file change on disk. So after (1) edit on host A, (2) sync with git (or rsync or btsync...), (3) go to already open ed…

What about a bonus for up-voting a story that eventually receives a high score? Or is that what you meant?

Yup. Utilite: http://utilite-computer.com/web/utilite-specifications . Dual GbE, though one is limited to around 470Mbps because of a limitation of the board. I have one. Great spe…

Where's Datomic? Maybe it's excluded because it relies on other databases as storage services?

Also, why is there a bias towards clockwise orbits in the first few seconds? Is there some asymmetry in the physics?

Took me a long time to notice that my cursor movements were injecting disturbances into the fluid. What physical laws govern these points, and how is the cursor perturbing them?

Citation needed. The Rolling Stones started in '62. Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" is from '65. Wikipedia attribute the band's name to the Muddy Waters song, "Rollin' Stone".

Fascinating. Is it possible to reduce the cpu utilization when idle?

Probably a reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivac .

Especially with an encrypted disk.

There are quite a few quad-core, single-board, fanless ARM computers: utilite, wandboard, odroid, udoo, radxa. I have two odroid U2 that I use for testing distributed and multithre…

Also: generic functions. And hygienic macros. I miss those in ruby.

Also, with encrypted volumes, just reading files on the raspi is very slow. Consider replacing raspi with odroid, utilite, or other fast, fanless, cheap arm sbc.

Or: ruby -e 'puts ARGF.sort' file.txt Also, this reads stdin if the argument is omitted.

According to http://www.rethinkdb.com/docs/architecture , you have a choice, for each read query, between C and A. The summary on meetup.com is apparently wrong. I am going to the …

Transitive closure and connected components are not expressible in first-order logic, but maybe you are thinking of Fagin's 0-1 law for finite relational models[1]: For a given fir…

I used to do a lot of scientific programming in ruby. I got around the slowness of the interpreter by generating C code on the fly. You don't have to give up Ruby as the DSL and ut…

In a big-endian glass.

In XFCE, you can move windows by pressing them against the side of the screen. Go to Settings, WindowManager, Advanced. Click "Wrap workspaces when dragging..." and choose your des…
