First hydroelectric water towers, and now vacuum-sealed spinning flywheels? Come on, batteries, get it together!

Ah, I see. I'm not sure I'd call it zip-with, but it's definitely familiar and useful. Scalding calls it map-to[1], and Trident's `each` can work this way as well. [1] https://github.com/twitter/scal

`zip-with` and `group-by` just represent the most common uses of `map` and `reduce` respectively. Many data processing frameworks (cascading, spark, storm, etc.) build these abstractions right on top of map-reduce, and sometimes the layer i

I think this site calculates the cost of living as a transient; staying in short-term accommodation, eating meals out, etc. The spread sheet specifically asks for the costs of meals and hotel rooms, which is probably why it skews high.

My wife and I have a carry-on suitcase each. It's easier than you think, really. That said, when we packed up to move we put 20 of those staples file boxes in my parents' basement, so we sort of cheated on storage. When we look ba

I think a big difference in cost-of-living is paying a premium for short-term accommodation. There are definitely places to live here in Kraków for 900zł per month, but I'm paying significantly more for the privilege of staying for a s

I'm not sure how many serious devs use LightTable (although I'd be interested to know!). I keep it handy for writing little scripts (in Clojure, Python or Javascript) that benefit from the interactive style, but I do most of my ac

core.typed is super cool, but I don't think it's liable to impress anybody who is used to Haskell or OCaml. Java, perhaps.

But it does have a fairly tight integration with clojure, and also uses the JVM-based closure compiler. However, I'd way rather see a clojurescript runtime for v8 than another language "inspired by" clojurescript.

The language barrier is a problem, but it can also be an opportunity. Try looking for conversation clubs or meetups (look on facebook, too) -- perhaps you can find someone who wants to learn your native language and you can teach each other

Where did you get the recipes from? I used http://openrecip.es as the database for http://openrecipesearch.com , but the results were so bad I had to just turn it into a disgusting content farm, since I couldn't

Apparently it was only activated if you included an emoticon (<3) in your tweet, possibly following the closing script tag.

So apparently this was retweeted by @5SOS, a teen pop band with some 3 million followers, which is why most of the responses are confused teenagers. For some reason this is hilarious to me. Not the pinnacle of responsible disclosure, but no

The joke is that the new "Common Core" standards are presented as the "Old-Fashioned" way, and vice-versa.

This solves one of the problems that '!' does, but not the other. If this file is concatenated with one that looks like it would accept a function call, it will be an error, because javascript. e.g. (function(){/* stuff

It sounds fun, but I'm afraid it's not working for me on Chrome 34 on OSX. Just shows the tiles and Score: 0 in the top left.

The tweets individually could be seen as digs at people, although they are (hopefully on purpose) not attributed. Taken together I like to think it helps everyone realize that HN is a clique, albeit a generally knowledgeable, inclusive, and

This actually sounds like a pretty cool and useful project, but I had to force myself to overcome the site, which I think does a poor job of marketing. The headline is a bit confusing -- it's not obvious that something can be "emb

The comments are more or less full of French people contesting the truth of this assertion. Seems a bit dubious.

My degree included a "Computer Music" option, which were a few classes that were half music students and half computer science ones. We used Max/MSP quite a bit. For anyone that wants to play around with a very similar langua

TLDR: Exactly what you might have guessed: the exchanges backed their financial operations with a datastore without transactions, tragedy ensues. This can't be viewed as an indictment of "NoSQL" though; there are plenty of da

TL:DR; The richest rich are much richer than the least rich rich, and becoming richer still. I'm kind of struggling to find the personal relevance of a story reporting churn within the top 1%.
