There are a number of mods which add much finer control over fuel management and better aerodynamics to KSP.

Ferram Aerospace[1] adds much more realistic aerodynamics and TAC fuel balancer[2] adds a fuel balancer.

And it's very low throughput/high latency.

One of the reasons Mountain view is a good test bed is the comparative absence of weather.

The LIDAR system the car relies on doesn't work in rain, snow, or fog. Also, it would have a lot of trouble with the massive changes to roads and driving patterns caused by seasonal snow accumulation in the mid-west and north east.

It would appear to be about the same as a S3

As a chromebook user (with 2gb of ram) Adblock plus is routinely the chief culprit for slow downs. I've found it using 400mb of ram with sites like youtube and facebook open.

Many of the sites with the most pernicious ads require JS to function, so NoScript isn't really that effective if you're going to, say, stream the latest episode of Game of Thrones.

It really depends on the application and area of study. There is no "one best" language for all of scientific computing. For some things R is the best, for others SPSS, and for some matlab. The larger the datasets and the more computationally intense the task, the more low-level languages like C++ or Fortran are best.

But across subfields and concentrations Python is almost always the second best language. Also Python kills for rapid prototyping and testing a concept on a small scale before the much more labor intensive porting to a lower-level language.

Welcome to most software with academic papers published about it.

It's pretty typical to find papers written about a piece of software or a software technique with impressive claims and the software is totally unavailable to the larger academic community (neither in binaries or source).

AnkiDroid is an open source project developed by a third party, AnkiMobile is developed by the Anki developer, who is perpetually trying to find ways to fund the development of Anki.

LXDE uses openbox as its window manager. So it's openbox with a more robust ecosystem build around it.

Modern features tend to mean fancy-3d-compositing-features which are not lightweight.

I do think the default LXDE theme looks rather windows 2000/Gnome 2.6. However, changing the theme is not hard and LXDE can use any XFCE themes. Hopefully the new LXQt preserves that compatibility.

Docpad apparently has a wysiwyg interface.

Almost very moderately popular ssg has some sort of cms interface plugin.

No, they've opted for a different modern world. The insistence on latinate scripts and learning english echo strongly colonialist rhetoric from past eras.

I just spent about 10 minutes trying to figure out what Automattic is and does. I gather they are in some way connected to wordpress, but beyond that I am baffled.

Interesting. In the United States it would appear to be an excellent proxy for affluence.

I've long thought that among the chief promises of a self-improving AI is not that it will exponentially make new discoveries in Science. But that it will be able to synthesize and combine existing knowledge in a manner too complex for most humans.

The problem with current knowledge is that humans just aren't capable of handling more than a tiny fraction of it. A functional AI (even of the weaker variety) is capable of handling orders of magnitude more information and arriving at novel combinations of existing knowledge.

Part of the reason the impact-per-researcher has fallen so much is that there is simply so much more to know and consider than there was a century ago. And Computers are really, really good at dealing with volumes of information that would overwhelm a person.

And while a self-improving AI may someday slow down it's rate of self improvement, in the short term its rate of self-improvement would appear exponential as it groks scales of knowledge humans can't cope with.

This would be wonderful, especially for people learning JavaScript. When and how to use call backs and wrangling asynchronous code propagation is a major frustration coming to JavaScript from languages that default to synchronous behavior.

Language barrier may be a problem, but offering premium wages might find a surprising number of russian and english speakers.

I think you might be having trouble with the math.

it's not 14% of female founders rejected, its 14% of rejected founders were female (while about 13% of accepted founders were female). There's no male persecution going on here.

I was under the impression limited liability was exactly why corporations are legal persons. So they can sign contracts and be liable for violations of those contracts as well as breaches of law.

Who does the Nest tell? It doesn't have any sort of social networking bullshit. The only way someone can find out if you are in or not is if someone gains access to your Nest account.

When you are at home is pretty obvious to Google anyway.

Some description of the project (really any description) would make me alot more comfortable downloading MSYS2. As it stands, I have no idea what this project is, what it does, or even what the software license is.

It's a personal preference, but having the code mirrored on a Github repo would be awesome too.

#4 it has an autoaway mode, which will determine a using motion sensor if you are around. And if not it won't heat or cool aside from your scheduled events.

I thought the solution was

I would be in the same boat, but I have found that a Moto G with a prepaid SIM is a good middle point. Just cheap enough phone I can afford to have it stolen, and still with the Smartphone features that make me want and need a smartphone. (Navigation and messaging).

Ideally, store it for a set amount of time and then delete it. Or keep it in perpetuity and only allow it to be used with a court order.

Right now it seems like Nitrous's team is really focused on improving stability. And with the apparent rapid growth in scale, that's important.

You are certainly right about the need to improve the editor. While the minimalism is part of what has kept me on Nitrous (over Cloud9 or others), it needs massive improvements. It seems to have stagnated for months. CodeMirror has many, many features which would seem to be fairly easy to integrate into the IDE, but haven't been.

I hope the next round of hires is more front-end focused.

I think the strongest use-case is in education and for novice programmers trying to learn a language and a web-framework. Not for easing on-boarding in any size company other than a startup.

Nitrous used to be Action.io. The editor is still lacking features, but responsiveness has improved. Right now the Nitrous team seems more interested in expanding supported tool chains and languages than in improving the IDE experience.
