I'm afraid I can't give you any specific recommendations, I just remember reading about one in PC Gamer magazine (UK) in 2006 or 2007.

Such devices exist, and are usually made / marketed as gaming accessories - so as a bonus you could very easily wire something up to ensure you keep pedaling!

The problem with using Random for displaying nice touches and reminder notices is that, well, it's random. It won't take very long for a user to get a rare and annoying "Have you thought about upgrading?" (or similar) message three times in

Another area where Lua excels is interacting with C code. It's very easy to bind, and it runs really fast to boot, making it perfect for a scripting language in an engine that uses C for the heavy lifting.

Some similar advice I heard recently (I think possibly in another HN discussion thread) was to not be scared of "spoilers" when communicating. I have a tendency to try to make my presentations a nice linear development, like a story, which

In addition many of the "freezing funds" stories are actually about holding a rolling balance in case of chargebacks.

One of the big advantages of wearing a mask (any mask) is that it stops you touching your mouth. Most people touch their mouths dozens of times a day without even thinking about it, and it's a fantastic infection vector. Person with a cold

You could easily bring the space requirements down by storing hash chains instead of a lookup table, while still only taking minutes to reverse a given hash.

Watch your bank account after you cancel, too. They have a nasty habit of "forgetting" to stop charging you (happened to a friend of mine who didn't realise until he got back from his deployment in Afganistan)

Yup, the per-mile risk is higher on short journeys. (Also you might want to edit your comment, it's ended up all on one line)

This is Not News. Many mobile networks offer content filtering, and it's often turned on by default until you turn it off (this is true in the UK at least). Just like the crappy filters you had to fight constantly at school these are extrem

Yes, you are correct [1] - it's a very common mistake in my experience. [1]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTML/Element/label

At the very, very least I would expect a generated form to be accessible, and this is not.

It was redmine I was using when I had the issues actually. The real problem though was that I was trying to use a newer version of Redmine than was available in the repo, and I did still manage to satisfy the dependencies but upgrading my R

I meant the offer. It does sound better, but there are lots of better offers out there, this one has lower barriers to entry though. I see it less as the route to go if you are an entrepreneur and more a good way of giving people the kick u

Surely over such a long distance, the staggeringly huge number of extremely small genuinely random changes would cancel out?

It probably doesn't help that it has bugs. Sometimes my netbook will go through a horrifically jarring transition full of banding and a very obvious change in tone, it seems like sometimes flux gets a little stuck and then rapidly catches u

Oracle has index sharding though - would that help in the use case of a very large table where typically only a specific, small chunk of it is accessed?

by ZoFreX 14y ago
I learned yesterday that Oracle also supports this. It's a VERY useful feature!

It shouldn't apply in that situation. My advice applies more to people developing or hosting ruby applications.

In my experience, using Ruby or gems from your package manager leads to headaches down the line - I'd highly recommend using bundler to manage your gems at the very least, and rvm or rbenv to manage rubies.

Even that's probably not completely correct. If you want to blend in with what's behind you, you should look similar to what's behind you. The rules for this don't change much at night - in dim light or bright light, you still don't want to

Yes. Intel's first 64-bit CPUs were Itanium, but their popular consumer 64-bit CPUs are AMD64.

A bit unfair to say that these days, given that on Reddit posting personal information is now a bannable offence, and Hacker News has no rules against it.

Clearly not everyone is, plenty of calls in the comments here for the real name of the person in question to be exposed (so that they can - potentially illegally - avoid doing business with them or hiring them)
