be5invis··on Why Chinese Is So Damn Hard (1992)
I have to point out that, until modern era, Colloqual Chinese and Literary Chinese are COMPLETELY two systems. While Colloqual Chinese evolves fast, Literary Chinese remained unchanged for thousands of years, until 1900s.
be5invis··on Why Chinese Is So Damn Hard (1992)
Not Exactly. Phonetic radicals (like 丁 in 钉) represents the pronounciation in Early and Middle chinese, not modern. For example, 塊 contains 鬼, but their pronounciation in Mandarin are different.
be5invis··on Let the Type System do the Work
According to Curry-Howard correspondence, types are conclusions and programs are proofs of the conclusion. Any program is corresponded to a deduction procedure, such as a Hilbert-style proof or natural deduction proof.
be5invis··on Microsoft introduces Universal Windows apps
I am wondering whether they can make Windows Runtime's GUI avaliable for existing desktop appliacations. There are many professional applications needs a brand new API for user interface.
be5invis··on Microsoft launches Office for iPad
Hmmm I'm waiting for this either.

REALLY HD SUPER MARIO!

be5invis··on Microsoft launches Office for iPad
In the console game world, softwares(games) can decide the fate of consoles. Dreamcast failed BEFORE PS2 is released, due to Final Fantasy X, XI and XII. Another example is that Xbox survived because of Halo.

In my opnion, Office is the ace software of Microsoft. It is even the de-facto standard. Therefore Microsoft should keep them exclusive on their platform.

be5invis··on Microsoft launches Office for iPad
Microsoft releases Office for iPad just looks like that Nintendo publishes Super Mario Bros on Xbox!

So, are they going to discard Windows (|phone|tablet|...) platform and become a pure third-party? It reminds me of Sega.

be5invis··on Show HN: Luculent, a new code/terminal font
Are these characters exactly 1/2 em wide? For Chinese and Japanese users we need them to mix with 漢字(which are 1em wide).

so how about a tray icon? AFAIK there is no way to create one using HTML5.

I am wondering you can release a windows client. Web is acceptable but not perfect (i.e. cannot provide notifications).

you can build it on .NET. Don't care about XP, FUCK THESE XP USERS.

be5invis··on Hum
Is it mac only? I am poor and I cannot afford a mac :(
be5invis··on Sony sells its VAIO PC business, makes TV arm its own subsidiary
I wish that Sony publish all the Vaio engineering diagrams before its death. I don't want this spirit disappear.
be5invis··on IE7 users, we need to talk…
Beware Chinese.

They may browse your website using IE7 ON PURPOSE to get a new computer.

be5invis··on Bro pages: like man pages, but with examples only
It is the `get-help <command> -examples` equalivent in Powershell, right?
be5invis··on IE 11 Crashes After Clearing 5+ Input Elements
On a real machine OR inside a VM?
be5invis··on IE 11 Crashes After Clearing 5+ Input Elements
Inside a VM? It's a really important information. Maybe you should try this on a real machine. Virtualization can change many things, for example, GPU-Z crushes my Windows 8.1 VM.
be5invis··on IE 11 Crashes After Clearing 5+ Input Elements
It's too weird. I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit version, I've tried everything I could imagine about these textboxes, but still no crush.

Two of my friends tried on Windows 8.1 Pro x64, still no crush.

be5invis··on IE 11 Crashes After Clearing 5+ Input Elements
Windows 7 x86 or x64?

What plugins have you installed?

I'm using Simplified Chiense and I cannot reproduce this bug.

be5invis··on IE 11 Crashes After Clearing 5+ Input Elements
x86 or x64?

-- update --

I tried the identical reproduction process and IE11 still working.

be5invis··on IE 11 Crashes After Clearing 5+ Input Elements
Nope, I tried to modify these fields and clicked the button more than once, there is still no crush.

BTW, what are the plugins you've installed in IE? What's the OS version? Performing more information will help everyone to find the bug.

be5invis··on IE 11 Crashes After Clearing 5+ Input Elements
So it is a bug in earlier version? or a Windows 8.1 specific bug?

BTW, what are the plugins you installed in IE11?

be5invis··on IE 11 Crashes After Clearing 5+ Input Elements
No crush, I tried everything I can imagine, including editing these controls, performing drag-drop but nothing strange happens.

ver 11.0.9600.16476

be5invis··on Dell Wasn't Joking About That 28-Inch Sub-$1000 4K Monitor; It's Only $699
Shut up and take my money!
be5invis··on Fixing Windows 8
This guy knows what the true Win8 have: Visible and Fast application switch. I mean that, when you open a Modern application, you cannot find any visible way to switch between them. My opinion is to make the task bar always visible, and show store apps on it.
be5invis··on Mac Pro Trash Icon
The thermal design is pretty straightforward. It was used in some supercomputers, as I know.

But, why the "chassis" is a cylinder? They can use the same shape as the G4 cube, seriously.

be5invis··on Mac Pro Trash Icon
Great work.

ps. The hardware structure design of the NMP is great, but WHY THE HELL apple make it a cylender? And WHY it is black and glossy, differ from any other Apple hardware.

be5invis··on China lands Jade Rabbit robot rover on Moon
Assuming that your mining machine is a 10cm * 10cm * 10cm box with 100W power, while it is a black body, then according to the Stefan–Boltzmann law, the temperature of your machine will be......

414K, or 285°F.

One of the hot-selling mining machines in China is the Friedcat Box, providing 38GH/s in 360W power. The dimensions of this thing is a 12cm cube. Using the data of this machine, and calculated with Stefan–Boltzmann law, the temperature will be...

520.6K or 477.5°F

Bitcoins are really hot, I think.

be5invis··on China lands Jade Rabbit robot rover on Moon
However there is no air on the Moon, so how to conduct the heat from the mining machines?
