The article is currently front page [0] on Doha News [1], which many expats read daily in their office. So, yes, it is front page as far as I concerned. Few people who live around this area would read state-run newspapers. [0] http:/

Sigh. The point is legislating against covert acts is inherently ineffective. This was long after Castro, and I am asking some 15+ years later if people still even weigh this when considering things like UAV strikes. Technically, assassi

I remember when I first moved to Linux, six or seven some odd years ago for the first time, and I researched a good media player. I went, unlike others with mplayer, with VLC. It was one of the first projects that made me think "how

Wow. I use Anki to learn human languages and lower-level stuff. Language bindings? I am not sure whether to consider you a masochist or a hero! Do you have a write-up on how you are doing this?

If I had programming instructors like this in college, let alone high school, I would have been a CS major full out.

A guy recently posted something similar written in Common Lisp called Turtl. [0] You might want to check that out as it avoids some of your design problems, namely "authentication" is really just entering the decryption key in yo

It is interesting you bring that up IIT, as University of Illinois was one of the first online education programs in the United States, starting in 1997. [0] O'Reilly picked them as partner for the O'Reilly School, ostensibly for

Unfortunately, the Holt bill engages in, as others put it, a silly bit of optimism. I looked up to see what has happened thus far regarding Reagan's Executive Order 12333 [0] where assassinations by anyone representing the USG is compl

Did IT in an medical library in a university. The douchey doctors/professors spent a lot of money on a homegrown AV system connected to computers to accomplish part of that task, so I hope you can turn a buck off that. Seems cool.

I keep saying it, and downvote me if you wish. Screw Firebase, and long live any initiative from Mozilla. I am not going to shove my data, realtime or not, through some commercial service I have no intention of paying for and exposing mys

It is a violation of military law for Israeli citizens to enter the Palestinian Territories, full stop. That is why many never visit, as it means severe penalties without trial. As a foreigner who crossed in and out, it is still unpleasant

For anyone who is not played with Dsploit (the network exploitation and analysis tool mentioned in the article), it is fantastic. I followed it in its early days on XDA, where the developer relentlessly answered all user questions, patched

I would content that for such a person (not that I am a stellar programmer or savvy on type theory) Typed Racket will make this man/woman/smizmar lose sanity. That said, I think Racket is so-so cool.

Where do you get VPS hosting in Egypt? I am in the region and very interested to hear someone with experience in this, meaning VPS and providers not in Europe. My experience with friends and colleagues is a lot of the latter.

Thanks for the list (pun kind of intended). I am well aware of Emacs (who does Lisp without SLIME, that seems painful) and Autocad. Your list is very cool, but I meant people writing production web services and startups that are often feat

Wish I could up this one more. I am in the process of playing with Lisp (in my case, Common Lisp, the SBCL variant to be specific) and I would love to see people with production services in any Lisp, or even Scheme. I have been very attrac

It is surprising that no one here mentioned org-mode yet. I am picking it up now and wonder why no one mentioned, as the whole plugin, as I have been told and what interested, is like the CLI version of Trello.

Is it really a big deal that Groupon India's site crashed? Was there not an article a few months ago on HN about how badly coded this website was? I thought it was just a localized version of Groupon but there was something appalling

I will expand on that comment. DC is a mess because its municipal government is very much restricted, and the final say is in the hands of Congress. If you think lobbying is the problem, check out the license plate: Taxation without Repres
