Half the entropy is trying to figure out which pieces of this article's text are supposed to be the silly falsehoods being corrected, and which pieces are just the second or third …

Oh no. Please, please don't let eBay get Boeing'd.

Hm, no, non-24 is not just a severe version of DSPS. Or rather he seems to be saying DSPS is really just a less severe version of non-24. I have it. What I've learned from my doc (…

It's more another example of 'you can sue for anything on a whim'.

I'm still mostly without words; I just hear Ralph's voice in my head when I think about his passing. He was a force of warm, kind, friendly enthusiasm. We miss you, rillian.

"It's not a guidebook"... This might be the scariest point. To me at least, it only felt obvious after stating it directly.

Q, more than any other glyph, is the letter that never fails to look weird in every typeface when I spend too much time looking at it/re-re-re-re-designing it.

He can, he did, and we're all here arguing about it, which somehow delights me.

Amazing what you can do when you throw 10 billion transistors at a problem instead of only a few million.

Waiting for the Derek Lowe post, but... if this is legit, it's a 'holy flipping s**' moment. That kind of success in Phase I human trials is incredibly rare.

Rest in Peace, Bittersweet Prince.

Short answer is 'bugs', possibly even in the reviewer's own software. Opus (and I would fully expect AAC-LC) preserves time alignment. Something unknown, somewhere unknown, in an u…

Oh, look a new analysis of YouTube quality that, surely, has learned something from all the past discussions... [reads] ...Jesus H. F. Christ.... Every generation thinks they disco…

My God, that model is utterly beautiful.

He didn't claim it cut through steel, JGCs have polymer wheel wells and brake lines like most modern cars.

While it's clear exercise is good for everyone, this statement is not well informed. For example, oxygen saturation monitoring revealed my at-rest breathing reflex is completely br…

In fact, the 'does what I want, does it well, and does little else" is very much the reason I like it. Whatever you think of it under the hood (and I have opinions, both positive a…

This is a great recommendation (thanks!) and worth watching.

Many people did, and the drives were not expensive at all really, not if you ever popped over to a swapfest (I had one, and money was very tight in our family at the time, but Dad …

Just tried it on _Meet The Sniper_. Disappointment :-( [This was an unreasonable test, and it did really well considering the likely training set. I bet it could do much better wit…

My god. That machine is beautiful.

I thought it was pretty good-- a welcome change from completely unbearable 'let's point and laugh at the nerds' shows like BBT. The archetypes in the Silicon Valley series are hype…

Damn. I thought it said Lorem Piscum. I'm so disappointed.
