Actually, one of our customers started writing "Thank you!" e-mails one or two weeks ago. I guess my boss managed to convince her that twenty hours of support per day is not the norm.
I don't find HN's font too small, but I usually have Firefox set up with a readable minimum font size in the first place to evade that problem. This breaks a few sites' designs, but that is rare (and the "victims" are…
I don't use Apple products either but I know that they sell tracks AAC encoded. And that's exactly why I see MP3 declining: before iTunes, there was no serious competitor for it.[1] But now the biggest online retailer…
ACK. Additionally, FLAC is perfect for future-proof archiving. MP3 is already declining (thanks to Apple) and while you will probably still be able to play MP3 files in twenty years, it will hopefully not be the format…
Command substitution using $(...) is valid POSIX syntax, not a bashism. $ /bin/dash $ echo $(uname -r) 2.6.31-rc7
If only those developers read books...
[Disclaimer: I am a big fan of Radiohead and at the same time listen to music almost exclusively album-for-album. No shuffle play for me, thanks.] I seriously hope that they at least always release a couple of tracks…
I agree. And it's not that Python strictly needed the "@"-syntax in the first place. They just implemented ("hardcoded", as the article calls it) it to make it obvious what is happening.
rest2web: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/rest2web/ It is not very flexible, but doesn't take very much effort either.
I always just "(Dis)allow pages using their own fonts" + a readable minimum font size. That makes browsing much more comfortable for me and doesn't break too many sites (only very rigid table layouts, most of the time…
A completely different approach to the problem is to minimize the number of necessary distance computation in the first place. There are various indexing algorithms which make finding nearest neighbours feasible in…
