Jiig | 6 years ago | on: Terry Jones has died
These posts usually have insightful comments about the persons life that I never would have read had it not been posted here. I would have read about his death in a headline, and moved on.
But since I came into these comments I learned a lot more about him, and will probably spend the evening watching some of his history docs.
Maybe the article its self isn't gratifying, but the comments usually are.

Thank you, this is very helpful. Its a decompression algorithm with a thin CLI around it, lots of parallelization,and lots of different config options.

I wouldn't blanket all Mechanical Keyboards into this, its absolutely possible to build one that is no louder then your standard membrane keyboards.

There is something seriously wrong the with the idea that its ok to underpay these very important jobs because they can eek out a living wage by working every hour of their waking life, sacrificing mental and physical health to do so.

My town just recently put in the Diverging Diamond Intersection (or at least something very similar) on a major highway and major road interchange and the extra throughput was very noticeable.

I think the compelling part of pokemon go is not the game its self, but the social interactions it created.

There is a way to manually open the falcon wing doors [1]. Granted it could probably be in a more visible location.

I would say stay away from any 4chan pet projects.

Maybe this would be a problem sometime in the future when autonomous cars don't have manual controls anymore, but if the cameras were disabled for some reason you can just take control and drive off the dirt road your self, and head to a car wash.
I don't see this really being a problem that has to be worried about.

Its worst case is O(n^2) sure, so heap sort would be better if you know that your data would hit the worst case scenario of quick sort every time.
Jiig | 9 years ago | on: Typora – A cross platform markdown editor
There's a page[1] detailing how to get get the .deb file without apt, and then use dpkg for arch [2] to install it if you wanted to. Of course you'd have to manually update, and pacman won't know about it.

EDIT: Turns out there is an AUR package already: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/typora/
