The fastest language is the one that you know well enough that you are actually able to implement and release your ideas to your users. Benchmarks speed is only one part of the equation.

Very interesting! With such long exposures how is it that it doesn't become totally washed out and over-exposed? Is the pinhole aperture so small that with shorter exposures (days instead of months) that the images would be under-exposed?

I thought blinking text went out with MySpace... As for the info, it sounds like it isn't PayPal but the Indian Government that is the problem here.

Is this another case of scribd being used to pirate books? The last copyright on the book is 2006 and Paladin Press is still selling the book for $60.00 here http://www.paladin-press.com/product/The_Ultimate_Sniper/Sni...

Because mutt + IMAP is incredibly slow, even with header caching. I switched back to Thunderbird after running it for a few days. I think a big part of the difference is that TB pulls mail in the background while mutt doesn't.

THIS is how you handle failure. You learn from it, and let others learn as well.

I don't totally disagree. But I don't agree either. Maybe that's because I'm making enough off my ad supported app to pay my monthly iPhone bill. Not much more than that, but enough. http://brianlane.com/software/nascar-iphone/ and it isn

Lots of good advice here. I think it boils down to: Execute and Iterate. At 20 you lack experience, the 10,000 hours, to be really good. Don't dream of things, do them -- even if they 'fail' in the traditional sense. Learn from the experien

I find it somewhat silly that on finding out her son didn't match her first though was that he had been switched, rather than that there was an error in the testing. Which is more likely to happen?

When WHOIS info is correct it can be a big help. I've done the same for phishing scams hosted in the US. The person on the receiving end is usually somewhat confused at first, but eventually gets it.

I had a subscription to SA in high school. His column was the first thing I read in each issue. He will be missed. He can rest easy knowing his life touch many, many others.

And FYI in Chrome you can set it to use DDG for search instead of Google (they actually have quite a number of choices).

Sorry, I don't mean it that way. It was a quick way of saying that you have to discover what drives you. Reading about how others do it may give you some insight, but you are not going to find 'the answer' on HN or anywhere else. Threads li

This is one of the best articles linked from HN in the last few days. Well worth the read. I can't count the number of times I've hit a wall developing something and then as I explain it to someone else we simultaneously realize the solutio

Good. Better to get this all resolved now so we can move on and start spreading this to every corner of the net and mobile device. I have no doubt that Google was anticipating this and are ready to deal with it.

There is also a fairly useful debug module named epdb from the guys at rpath. It opens up a port and lets you netcat to it and debug remotely. This is great for running things in a virt and being able to actually cut and paste to the debug

IIRC the kernel needs to be compiled with the magic sysreq keys enabled, so if this doesn't work for you you will likely need to rebuild your kernel. Or grow a couple extra digits.

For me it is plugins. I only have a couple installed in chrome, but apparently there are also system-wide plugins that it is picking up info on. 19.68+ bits of info based on plugins alone.

The problem with this is the same as for services like dropbox. If enough people do this they will start blocking the slicehost IPs. To be successful you need to have * IP usage distributed over a wide range * private distribution of prox
