It's funny, I realized when he mentioned Nassau Street that I "entered Princeton" at just about the same time he did. Only I was 9, and was only a resident of the town, not a student of the college. My memories are somewhat different than

Thanks for the answer! I was just playing with Inkscape the other day, I'll make a point of learning it for real next time I need to put something like this together.

To claim that graphics don't matter to games would be like claiming cinematography doesn't matter to movies. On the other hand, making a generalization that graphics are "60%" of all games would be just as silly as making a percentage clai

I tried to figure out what software this was from, but I gave up. I did find that Wikipedia has a nice list of network diagram software here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_network_diagram_s... I'd love to describe a network i

I hiked 800 miles on the AT two years ago. I can vouch for it. I didn't think much of it at the time, but I've heard about this since and it fits. I frequently woke up sometime in the middle of the night. Sometimes I'd read for a bit and

I've got this, I've used it a couple of times when I needed to pick my wife up. I think the last time I saw it on HN was a day or two before she was flying back from somewhere, so I gave it a shot just for fun. It worked great, thanks! I'

Not to negate your main point, but: > Halo opened the door for Tom Clancy games, The first Rainbow Six game predated Halo by three years (and the announcement of the XBox itself by two years) and though it started as a PC title, it was

If you start gdb without -tui, and press ^Xo, it will switch to tui mode. I don't know if they've "fixed" this in newer versions, but I've found it useful. That key sequence is emacs for switch to other window. If you're an emacs user but u

I had a minstrel modem back then for a little while too. But I didn't have it very long before I cancelled it. I also had a phone with limited email and other online capability around 2003, and a work-provided PCMCIA cell modem around 200

I just installed it, thanks! Also, brew seems to have added a beer mug emoji to the terminal output when it finishes installing something since the last time I installed anything. I didn't know the terminal (Actually iTerm 2 in this case)

The patent was filed in 2009. I wrote a podcast fetcher for an obscure Archos device in 2005. It was hardly the first app like that. But just based on my own personal experience, the things that this patent covers were in wide use at lea

As joke acronyms go, I preferred "Eight Megs And Constantly Swapping" back when Eight Megs was a lot of memory. "Eighty Megs" worked for a while after that. These days you'd have to rename it EGACS to use that joke.

Alt (assuming you actually mean Meta ;) is completely unnecessary for emacs. Meta-<Key> can always be produced by pressing ESC <Key> I guess technically ctrl is also unnecessary since you could type out whole commands with

I don't understand the FaceTime is too expensive comment. Before iOS 6 it was completely free, and now it's only not free in terms of celluar data usage when not on WiFi. When you switch a phone call over to FaceTime, it stops taking minu

I see questions online all the time that make me wonder just how old the compiler being used is. Modern versions of GCC, Clang and Visual Studio all have warnings enabled by default for an awful lot of valid, but probably wrong, code. App

My dad was a mathemetician ("was" as in he died in 2001, otherwise I'd be sending this to him to comment on). I never understood most of what he did, but I know that some of the work he did was based on or related to the four-color proof r

It does have street view, it's just not obvious how to get to it. Hold your finger on a location. When the address appears at the bottom, tap it. More info will slide up, including a street view image. Tapping that image will take you t

My first thought was it would be fantastic for backpacking (in high humidity) if the fill rate is high enough and if it didn't need batteries or heavy solar panels or anything. Water adds a lot of weight when you have to carry it. If I co

The Example link contains, I think, only two things that aren't valid C++. "self." (could be replaced by this-> or simply nothing in C++) and the ["stdio.h"] int printf... syntax for including just one thing. Two and a half things I gu

The DRY ideal in this case would be more about describing the relationship only once, and having that relationship then propagate everywhere it needs to, most especially to the foreign keys in your database schema. Sometimes, reaching that
