That was my initial impression, also... I though kx had added text-processing to kdb.

So, from what I'm looking at, it's returning a JSON list of items from the database (using ActiveRecord). Is it assumed you've prepopulated the exchange rate list yourself, or am I missing where it's getting this data f

It's hard to say, not having the technical background to fully understand the BTC protocol, whether the accusations that put all the blame at MtGox's feet are valid. My takeaway from the whole situation, though, is that if it&#

I wonder if this based on Google's acquisition a while back of ITA Software ( http://www.itasoftware.com/ )... if I remember correctly, this caused some excitement in the Common Lisp world, since their QPX software was w

I wonder how much of Racket's improvement over time really has to do with underlying changed to GNU Lightening (the library that underpins its JITing). Also, the interpreter and benchmarks look like they inherently single-threaded, so

The title might be a bit misleading... from the videos, it doesn't look like there's any "swiping" of the device (unless by "swipe", you mean "steal", in which case I stand corrected). I wouldn'

Some of these are pretty funny: http://www.buzzfeed.com/annanorth/the-26-best-amazon-reviews... Not sure this is HN material, but... whatever.

This is a great tutorial -- one of the best for Typed Clojure I've come across. The parallels to Haskell finally made some of the Clojure implementation of typing sink in for me.

This is an interesting series of articles, but I have to ask a question that's been nagging me for a while (after working on the plumbing / design of a multi-tenant architecture)... doesn't the whole cloud deployment / V

Based on the percentage of people I know who use GMail and/or Google Apps, I really feel like they're low-balling the effected population. Just my thoughts.

Not repeatable in that specific case, but have you thought about doing the same thing for other high-profile figures (either in finance or elsewhere)? You might be able to leverage your experience and success to get them to agree to a simi

Of course, you could also assume that having an altered view of reality leads one to believe it's reasonable to strike out on their own (and in some cases start their own business). Again, doesn't imply causation, but it's p

Org-mode is great, but I think there's validity to his point that taking notes on a laptop during meetings (especially with external people) can come across as rude. Running emacs on a tablet might alleviate this a bit (if you've

I know this isn't the enterprise crowd on HN, but this idea is pretty deeply rooted in a lot of large organizations in the form of "Business Process Management". The BPM vendors all pitch the "let business users create

Anyone have any recommendations for the best software for creating screencasts like these in Windows and Linux?

I find it a little strange that they outsourced penetration testing like this. (Although maybe they already understood the system's vulnerabilities and wanted to see how hard it was for someone else to do it.)

Definitely. Good to see someone making science cool.

If they're actually following the "correct" way to implement tor routing, wouldn't they still be unable to determine the source / destination? I suppose if they're being shady, though, they could either route

I'm not sure why, but I love that Racketeers write their docs in Scribble. The application docs look like the platform docs... it makes everything have a very cohesive feel. So much more powerful than something like JavaDocs, too, since y
