Good suggestion.My Drive is Seagate Barracuda. I am taking with Seagate data recovery.

Linux But I have tried pretty much all disk recovery techniques. It seems to be drive chip issue.

by badmash69 16y ago
Well it seems to be a controler chip or interface failurevon the drive. The motor is spinning; there are no clicks. But the drive is not "seen" by the BIOS. Gparted etc. software based solutions failed as the drive could not be see, I t

Ask HN: who would you recommend for failed hard drive data recovery?

OP's analogy could be right but did he consider that You are more likely to be hit by an oncoming train than by an oncoming rocket !! HTML5 will rule !!

I find it useful for metric for comparison. I can't compare my weight to yours as we have different body types, height etc. . However, if your BMI is in the 18.5 - 24.9 range and mine is 26, it would be a fair to say that you are in better

Quora is killing itself. Quora wants my information before it lets me take a peak. I have never made it past the homepage of Quora as I don't want to logon to a site without knowing what is in there. I think there are several more people l

A lesson can be derived form the Facebook , PHP and HipHop story. They did not rewrite the PHP code in another language, they just made it go faster with HipHop by compiling PHP into C++, and the compiling that into binary. The end use

It matters in the context of scaling the enterprise and not individual. A lone wolf programmer could use whatever rig and be productive. In a large team environment, meetings have to be scheduled ( Outlook+ Exchange), SRS documents have to

I think backbone.js would have a much greater draw if there were re-usable widgets (views/apps/collections). I would beg to differ. The power of backbone.js comes from being agnostic towards widget implementations. People are adapting it

by badmash69 16y ago
Could you share how you implemented unit testing your backbone controllers' javascript code?
77.
by badmash69 16y ago
JavascriptMVC's unit testing is definitely a big advantage over backbone. But backbone.js integrates well with my project structure ; I am under the impression ( and I could be very well wrong about this) is that JavascriptMVC requires its

Sproutcore is like a full UI widget toolkit -- analogous to extJS or GWT or java swing in the java desktop world. I am sure you could accomplish a lot very fast with Sproutcore. However, I chose jQuery +backbone.js because I am comfortabl

I agree with your opinion about Scala. However, my point was that Java will continue to be always good enough to steal thunder from more promising languages. ( I realize that Oracle may find a way to screw it up) Had JDK 7 not included For

Let me offer a counter point of view. LinkedIn knows me and it know my colleagues and my work history. My interactions on LinkedIn are more formal and even more cordial than my interactions on FB or here. If you were a HP/IBM/ any large tec

Great Job!! To those wondering why not move to Clojure or Scala instead of this approach, here is why I am holding back: a) I have a mission critical enterprise app that is in maintainance mode. I need to enhance certain features dealing

"bitch" -- no never. I only express my disagreement. Nobody posted "stolen" iPhone story here 6 months after the fact. The Dubai news story has been covered on TV and is very old. More cherry picked quote from the guidelines -- "Off-Topi

As long as we are cherry picking text from guidelines to support our POV, here is my pick " ..If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic. " This stuff has been covered on TV. May be not on the channel that you like to watch ---

Downvote me if you will, but I do not think this article belong on the front page of Hacker news. It is a interesting illuminating article but it belongs on Reddit or even Slashdot.

Thanks for the response. Your answer on #1 is spot-on -- I could implement that.

Great tips -- but I wish it had more depth. My Dumb question #1: , how do you measure "session length" for a user. I am assuming the session referred to here is not the same as HTTP Session on the web server. My Dumb question #2: Is there

Hey HN, I mean no disrespect to any of the parties in this story -- but hey isn't this forum about HACKER NEWS ? The only inspirational stores I wanna read about HERE are about fellow hackers' finding Seed/ VC funding and their successfu

The good thing about MongoDB is that all the gotchas are well known in the community and documented. Thats actually all the more reason to stay with MongoDB.

by badmash69 16y ago
Agreed .I like 10gen but I don't think I could hire them to help me with my side projects which I am using to get acquainted with MongoDB. I was looking more for guys like contract DBAs that are available for Oracle or even PostgresSQL. May

I love the blazing fast throughput of MongoDB but the gotchas make me nervous. I wish there was a MongoDB Guru site where I could contract out some MongoDB related maintenance activities such as validating my MongoDB installation and maki
