I took a month-long sabbatical last Fall to learn a new skill (machine learning). I had a project goal to keep me focused on making progress and staying practical: making an ios app that will use ML to "recognize" the letters on a

Not exactly brain fog but I often find myself in extreme left-brained mode after a challenging day of coding. If I meet friends after work I am a horrible conversationalist for up to an hour while my brain slowly (and reluctantly) stops act

I worked at a company that hired a developer who was slightly consumed by his regret at being an early employee and then getting out of Groupon pre-IPO. We'd be at a bar and the conversation would die down and he'd look sort of gl

(biased author of Mobiledoc-Kit here) The past year or so has really seen a resurgence of browser-based text editors. Off the top of my head I can think of 4 editors/editor-frameworks launched in the past year (Mobiledoc-Kit, ProseMirr

I read Daniel Stenberg's (he is a maintainer of curl, I think?) "http2 explained" pdf the other day, and it's by far the best comprehensive explanation of http2 that I have seen. Well worth a read if you're curious

The thing that made this click for me was realizing the "1" in the regex was not special. The regex is just looping through integers (starting with 2) and checking if the target number is divisible by any of them. It can use any d

Hey HNers, I created a game / prediction net where people can tweet in final score predictions for the upcoming March Madness NCAA games. To play you have to post a tweet that includes "@scorecaster" or "#scorecaster", the hashtag for the g

This is very cool. There's so much that could be done to better organize and run meetings. It's great to see someone taking a stab at it. I wished there was more of a demo before signup. Even just some screenshots would have helped.

I made this. FF does weird things with non-text bookmarklets so I used the user agent to show a text-based link as the bookmarklet, only for FF users, but it seems it is still finicky. If you want to see the effect, I'd try Safari or Chrom

I love the idea of making it easier for people to find one another to collab on things. How will you keep out recruiters, though? Seems like they always end up on these things and start increasing the noise.

instapaper -- saving articles for when I truly have time to read them (as opposed to when I first see them -- while browsing HN during a mini work break) has been a huge timesaver for me.

KA plus One Laptop per Child would be an incredibly powerful combination for third-world schools. OLPC should make it the homepage on the XO.

Surprised no one has mentioned 1password here yet. It generates passwords, has extensions for most browsers, and can sync between iPhone and your computer. I find it super handy, although it's funny when I'm using a friend's computer and

Yes but what does that mean? One can create and "backdate" (touch -t) any file. So how does one prove that an email is real and not created and backdated today?

Honest question: How might one prove that an email is real?

I've noticed after a few weeks of using it that I no longer am aware of the screen changing light temperature. I presume that's because I've adapted to it. Anyone else have that?

I think the idea of keeping a log of places I've been to is fairly interesting -- especially if there's a good aggregation/search functionality to it, so I can see how many times I go to my favorite restaurant, what places I went to on this

Agreed. I'd like to see more detail. C.f. facebook's recent post-mortem ( http://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/more-deta... ). Lots of detail. When a downtime blog post is so vague like Tumblr's was, my first instinct is tha

I like this one a lot. Simpler CSS, less verbose, and the in-context visual examples make it a lot easier to follow along.
