Most likely he used an out-of-minecraft editor to put together logic gates that can be copy/pasted, and then larger structures. The map format for minecraft is pretty easy to edit, and there are CAD like programs that'll build out an environment you want.

Of course the problem is that people are too dumb nowadays to come up with all that :)

Print mold. Use actual material you want. (win?)

Not updated since May of last year. But what's there is certainly quality.

For people who didn't hack apple IIs, can you expand on what's going on there?

Asteroids don't pump out waste heat. Things get a lot more obvious when heat differentials are big.

One of my favorite "ohh, that's interesting" facts about space combat, is that a kinetic kill weapon (ie, .9c rock) being shot at you. By the time you see it, it's already 9/10s the way to you...

Estimate that ~half to ~one third of your time is actual billable time. The rest is finding clients / business junk / expenses. So $50/hr is unsustainably low as a freelancer in the USA.

As a salaried position, it's plenty of course...

There's a flag in settings to allow/disallow siri while locked.

Funny. I drive from Ft Collins, to the same Broomfield he's talking about (yay Colorado).

I love my 50 minute commute. I use it to listen to podcasts and music. It gives me time to unwind and think. And most importantly, it came along with a raise that more than makes up for the monetary costs of driving.

I'd love a mass transit or car pooling solution, but I haven't run across a viable one yet.

Anyway, I really like my commute. Although, we'll see how it goes in the winter as roads get gross sometimes.

Heh. "ohh, and by the way, $20/hr at least".

Specifically, well fitting clothes accent your body where you want it accented. If there's no spot you want accented... well...

Clothing is a symbol, and shortcut. A guy in a nicely tailored suit in the business meeting shows that they care about details, are successful enough already to have the suit, etc, etc.

Shortcuts are important to social interactions, and outside physical labor, much of work is social interactions. (yes, even in software).

That's still a quicksort - it always has n^2 as its worst case I thought? If you pick the wrong pivot each time.

So all those cheesy sci-fi versions of the future, with crazy face paint, and asymmetrical haircuts and such was really just a brilliant prediction?

With every other world generation update, it generated the new stuff with newly made chunks. So if you have explored a huge section of the world, it won't change. But go beyond, and you'll get the new stuff.

So go for a walk :)

So when the title says official, they actually mean "internal api, dug out of javascript source on a google affiliated site"?

I really like using 1password. I have a long passphrase as my unlock key, easy to remember, then do the randomly generated codes as long as is feasible for each different service.

1) Nothing written down 2) Unique per service 3) Adjustable difficulty & char set per service, to match their stupid requirements.

Seems like the best of several worlds.

Can somebody link me a quick explanation of what the comma operator does in C?

Your link specifically calls out LED bulbs as being too dim, and not listing their incandescent equivalent wattage (ie, a 10 watt LED == a 60 watt incandescent).

The article specifically lists a 60 watt replacement, and a 100 watt one soon.

The other big thing that people end up missing is that most of your weight isn't from the food you eat. That's just where the energy came from. Your weight is oxygen / carbon / water / etc.

Also note: a giant tree doesn't dig out a giant hole where it grows in the ground. The dirt isn't the bulk of the tree's wood.

ctrl-r <register> pastes that register into your command.

So I often need to find "where is this method defined" across a large project.

    yw (yank word to get method into the " register)
    :Ack <ctrl-r>"  (ack plugin, paste that default " register)
    <enter> yay! I found it.

Alternately:

    /foo  (attempt to find foo in this file. Whoops, not there, where is it!).
    :Ack <ctrl-r>/  (last search is in the / register).
    There it is!

Please be reddit. Please be reddit. Please be reddit. Damn, still on hacker news.

I'm not too familiar with what xulrunner does, but this looks like it is very close to Air. Define a desktop application with html & js, but then have lots of additional hooks to make it a desktop app, playing nice w/ the environment.

egg yolks ARE high in cholesterol. But AFAIK the data is leaning towards the fact that our bodies recognize extra dietary cholesterol, and doesn't synthesize as much to compensate.

Whoops, just forgot to add that new option into the docs.

That's the kind of thing he's talking about, not just the code itself behaving according to strictly defined unit tests, but the project as a whole, and its health.

1) Does it work 2) Is it being updated 3) Are the docs good enough to get my job done as a user 4) Can I tweak it to my specific use case? Options? Source code patch?

This is gonna make my Mac Pro way cooler as a central computing "mainframe" for my house...

My early-twenties girlfriend is able to stay on her dad's health insurance. Which is good because she has a chronic condition that would cancel any chance of purchasing individual insurance.

So yes, people have seen benefits.

Probably via growl, which can listen over a network (and presumably, forwarded ports via SSH). Not sure on details though.

From a pragmatist standpoint, something like google can't trust an RDF document any more than it can trust the META keywords tag. Anything a site can assert about itself will end up as fodder for spam and manipulation.

Not to say that individual trusted datasets don't benefit from the RDF logic layers you can apply. Just that it's mostly impossible to have anything more than a set of curated datasets.
