Seeing binary sudoku in a newspaper would be incredibly zen.

Today is the first day I thought to log in to these fora in about a year, and I am happy to announce that over the past year, my sister dragged me to a community band rehearsal and then I kept coming back every week. Playing a loud crash on the cymbals is somehow even more satisfying than a loud gon...

Priority one needs to be egosearch. Or so would says my id, if it could only get its own shit together. Or my superego, if it weren't rushing around trying to save the world...

From my searches, it looks like ncurses 6.0 is source-compatible with 5.9, but not binary-compatible. So if you're building GT.M from source, it should still work, but if you've gotten an old binary build from somewhere, you'll have troubles. I had a very quick scroll through the code you linked to...

In the past I had used 110mb.com (it was one of the few that offered php and no ads at that time), but I have no idea what's left of that service, or even that company in general. Then I switched to hosting on my own system (first a desktop, then a raspberry pi), which was nearly free, because my p...

I'm trying to install GT.M for FreeBSD . One of the dependencies of this package is ncurses. When I used sudo pkg install ncurses on my BSD box, it installed ncurses 6.0. However, this GT.M implementation specifically looks for ncurses 5.9, so it GT.M won't run. I'm still a BSD n00b, so how can I ei...

Are there any good free hosts? I've got 4 small domains that I'd like to host. Current free hosting is down for over 5 minutes for the second time in fewer than 6 months.

Anyway, where all do you have your sites hosted, for those of you who own domains?

I'm disgusted with Windows 8, and further, I think the covert downloading of ~6GB of "updates" in the background on Windows 7 machines followed by an extraordinarily persistent, almost unremovable nag box to suggest upgrading to Windows 10, is more evidence that Microsoft doesn't play nic...

Not sure whether I should necro this thread or the other one , but I've just got the finale to watch (roommate is asleep and we've been watching the series together). In a case of life imitates art, people are tweeting about #Carcetti2016 in response to O'Malley's surprisingly good showing at the De...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has had DailyMotion problems. The freeze-framing really takes away a lot from a show loaded with visual gags.

If Obama is still in office when it's time to be ratified, all we'll have to do is start calling it "Obamatrade" and put an end to the nonsense once and for all.

US copyright laws prevented people from detecting the Defeat Device until now. Fully disagree. Heartbleed was a horribly simple bug that existed for many years. If you open up the source code of cars, all that will happen is that people will ignore the code in cars. This was the year of Heartbleed,...

I've bounced back and forth on static versus dynamic typing. My current view is that static typing is worthwhile if only for self-documentation. This becomes increasingly more important as a program grows larger. A hundred line script probably doesn't really need type information, but a thousand li...

More recent matters: it is illegal to operate a business without regard to handicapped or disabled people. And it should be illegal to pay Women 30% less than Men (although we haven't really figured out a way to codify it yet). In all of these cases, the government is imposing its will upon private...

The armchair legal scholar in me hoped that they would have specifically struck down DoMAs as being the blatant violations of the "full faith & credit" clause that they are, but that wouldn't have had as profound of an impact (but would have excited legal nerds).

I'm thinking of going 4K, myself. Once you've seen a retina/HiDPI 27" display, you really don't want to go back. Unfortunately, I guess I'll have to play my games at 1080p or windowed. Such is life. While that's true, it is also true of advanced-panels (IPS and VA), high-color coverage and 144...

Also, Thunderbolt is proprietary technology, but it's not actually Apple technology.

What monitors do you have/want (or think are the best)? Currently, I have a super-cheap 1080 AOC monitor with rather shite colour quality. I'd really like one of those "5K" monitors, but both the Dell and Apple options blow my entire new computer budget on that alone (granted you get a fre...

I've got one of them. Wouldn't have it except for my best friend who is an even bigger Apple fan than I pre-ordered hers and wanted someone to send dick sketches to. I really like it, but understand that there's no compelling need to get one in the first place (but seriously, sending the sketches is...

From Ars Technia an op ed called "Is it OK to generate a fake news story to make a point? No" . In terms of ethical analysis, this is an experiment that did not tell us anything that wasn't known already. On that score alone, the experiment fails to pass muster. Then there are the downsid...

The situation is clearly ridiculous even if it is legal. The insurance company made a big error and some guy is exploiting the shit out of them for it. He is using the product as advertised but not at all as consumers were expected to use it. The legal side does seem to clearly be with George but t...

period and space had been my method of choice (I can now see why some people love the languages that aren't reliant on brackets now; significant whitespace is a blessing and a curse) This is a bit late, but... what language were you using where you indented with a period and space?

It's a touchpad, though. Not a touchscreen. And yes, much graphics work is best served using a drawing tablet, while some tasks require mice (typesetting and vector graphics come to mind for me.) For navigating the OS or simple browsing, e-mail, etc., I find mice extremely cumbersome, and would gen...

Two.

I wouldn't credit Obama for that at all, but there's no denying it did happen during his presidency.
