Thanks for the interesting lens! It made me read the scheduling article ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8177262 ) in a new way.

This article and the one on "House Elf Bias" ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8177292 ) reinforce each other. What magic had to happen to create that 40 hour schedule? What does the world look like to Gavin, t

Well, he fought with half science: he came up with a set of testable hypotheses, but didn't actually run any of the tests. I guess that's as scientific as cosmology :-)

Wow! That's an amazing set of data! But as I watched the introductory video, a phrase caught my ear: "you can display this on NOAA Science on a Sphere or other spherical displays". Whaaaa? Spherical displays? And that was a t

Is there an explanation for how adding these dams lowers water levels?

I look forward to their next DMCA notice to GitHub, to take down their takedown notice, since it contains copyrighted images. I don't understand how playing an unlicensed torrent makes the source code to the software infringe on the DM

Very nice. Though I wonder why the author thought we (3Dfx) were "strongly against OpenGL"? One of our founders, Gary Tarolli, worked on Iris GL[1][2]. We weren't against it, but our pixel pipeline was in the wrong order to i

Presumably they do: a US patent only protects you if you are selling something in the US. Assuming that sale shows up somewhere as someone's profit, there would be an income tax from that.

Wow, that's recursive -- downvoting (and thereby censoring) a comment satirizing censorship and redaction. I'm ok with that, since my comment could have been more explicit: did anyone else think it was weird that the thing the ju

Since anyone planning to use their car to get away from the police would disable this device/software, only honest folks would have it enabled. So the only sure way for law enforcement to use it would be to disable the cars of innocent

That's not "unfortunate" -- it is by design. You use containers to minimize dependencies on the host.

I think it is kind of funny that Samsung makes these smart TVs that watch and listen to you all the time, but if you visit their campus in Seoul they put little stickers over all the camera ports on your phones and laptops, over your USB po

Seems like a good tool to help with documentation, where long complex sentences can lead readers astray, and passive voice hides important information.

You should be able to install the same iso into a VMware image. You'll need to expose the networking ports, but the information should be in the boot2docker script.

I don't understand the introduction: "0:15 as part of an effort to reduce use of traditional fuels like oil 0:19 which contribute to climate change" How would using algae as a source of oil not contribute to climate change? Y

Imagine that it had worked. And imagine that the allegations were true: they had stolen the cathode from one company and purchased a sample of an anode from another, and that, together, they consistently stored 400 Wh/kg. Would all the

very cool! But I think the globally unique app names will feel inconvenient as you get more users. You could silently add the Orchard user id to give it a namespace.

There's no need to make a hasty decision -- we haven't changed the platform in any way or lowered our support efforts. If you've found that you can count on the dotCloud PaaS for your business (and thank you for that!), then

The only worthwhile hackathons I've ever seen or participated in were related to the release of a new API, one that none of the participants had any access to before release. This arrangement benefits both the hackathon attendees and t

We can convert apps (including staging servers) to Live pretty quickly, usually the same business day. Or you can create a Live app yourself and re-push the code there, still talking to your staging database (giving you more time to copy th
