This blog[0] provides excellent context for the song, including subtitles for the song (overlaid on still shots) -- the last several seconds of the video will give you the names of the famous people with cameos. [0] http://mydearkorea.blog

I haven't had to deal with this scenario, thankfully, but I seem to recall dimly that there is some mechanism to rescue GitHub users who accidentally publish passwords and access keys. Does the archive respect this same mechanism? (Or did I

Alternatively, instead of an oversimplified bet, how about they draw up an SLA like normal companies would? Congrats on the 100%, but how long have you been running? And have you been serving any heavyweight clients or fended off persistent

The other replies, directly discussing overfitting, are spot on. However, I did want to point out explicitly that the stated assumption of representative sample data can be a fundamental challenge, not to be taken lightly.

I chose the exact same word "cheap" in a tutorial presentation that I made for new hires and co-op students at my current company. No confusion registered in the audience so far.

A hacked-together solution can be a good idea for trying it out without incurring the expense, but it's important to take note of what's being sacrificed or neglected in a hacked build. (If you can get that down to "none", so much the bette

Assuming that your financial situation can withstand it, I'd say yes to the standing desk. I'm honestly not sure what my desk at work cost (company purchase), so I can't give a very precise cost/benefit analysis or tell you what's a good pr

I used to think this way too, but the rise of touchscreen devices has meant that hover-based events restrict your audience.

"Lucky" is in the eye of the beholder. Where I work, code review is a regular event, so there's always another set of eyes on your work to help you catch issues that aren't the purview of unit tests. It's also a great way to learn from more

Now that I'm waking up some more, I realize 1) you're correct, the salt is stored, but 2) you're using SHA-512 for password hashing, which has been repeatedly discussed as a bad idea for quite a while on HN. This is the last I'll say on it:

It doesn't seem to me that you're storing the per-user salt anywhere. I'm glad you're working on a project that is fun for you. It will be an opportunity for you to learn quite a lot, but I would urge you to question your design choices and

Your Git repo doesn't inspire confidence for usage by the public at large. If you want to continue using it, I would recommend that you change it over to friends-and-family access while you improve it. A few things that don't impress me rig

Are the Virgin Mobile gateways for other countries affected, or is this US-only? AFAICT online access to my Canadian account is still using a run-of-the-mill user-defined password.

It's so great to have the design notes posted with the slides. I'm in the middle of creating my second presentation for my current company, and I've gotten very positive feedback about the elements of "Slide Design for Developers" that have

This isn't a criminal trial. That right doesn't extend to private institutions.

I had emailed you previously when the first incarnation of the site died -- so glad it's making a comeback! (EDIT: Or maybe I had emailed the original authors? Not sure on the timeline I guess.)

The primary download link is getting hammered at the moment; check for a mirror that has an OSX directory for fast access.

This is the same response that several business development people I know would give. "NLP" is treated as a black box that turns words into useful output, hooray! It's kind of sad that the two comments asking about how this works under the

HN formatting is limited to the following: http://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc Because the monospaced format is intended for code, it assumes that lines will be short, so lines longer than ~85 chars get the overflow effect.

Maybe I missed it, but I don't think I saw any demonstration of correcting words that were typed with one fewer or one more letter than the intended word. The absence of tactile feedback when typing makes this a fairly common error -- anyon

Speaking as a 27-year-old, it seems fairly reasonable to me. This is the age where you've had roughly 5 years of career experience in software or web development (if you went to college), and in the adolescence of your career you may have e

Coming back from Portland and pleasantly surprised at the number of cabs using Square. Not an expert in the world of taxi companies, but at first glance the monthly pricing seems like a potential match for them.

As with so many companies/business models proclaimed dead, I would hazard a guess that it's not dead yet. Too many people have invested too much in the concept for there to be no attempt to modify the execution while retaining the overall p
