I like it. I tried to pay you but I'm guessing your card processing is broken...

I don't know why you're being downvoted, but I think there are quite a few of us who have at least a thousand unread messages. I have all kind of git commit messages that show up in my inbox that I don't always mark as read, not to mention

I used their service 2 weeks ago... a breeze to find the least agonizing trip. I'd pay $50 more if the schedule was more pleasing to me.

I've developed stuff on Nu before, it's magically easy compared to other language binding frameworks for Cocoa. I still use nutest as a testing infrastructure for projects that use exclusive objective-c.

I think Florian was looking at Froyo, while the author was looking at master. The offending source files are not in Gingerbread: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/libcore.git;a=tree...

Wouldn't you say that Android is currently the biggest competitor to the iPhone? Apple & Google are both pretty big companies and will likely be competing in the same space given the number of products they both own. Apple's iAds are a

Apple is probably top dog here... they made more in profits than Google's total revenue for 2010 Q4.

If you're using a fairly recent kernel, 2.6.26 supports linux containers natively. You can "boot" a VM in less than 200ms, then start whatever process you need to start. I think when people think of virtualized instances, they think that

I don't agree with your "very slow" sentiment -- can you provide a source that shows that linux-vservers are very slow compared to running on bare metal? To my knowledge, vservers have almost no overhead vs running directly on the machine.

Seems like something like this could have been easily prevented early on using bsd jails or linux vservers for proper sandboxes.

hah! Sounds like Google is turning into an Apple.

From those stats we don't know, but app developers do know. I would say there are actually significantly more ipod app sales than iphone. It depends on the app, but the app developers that I hang out with tend to have more sales on ipod d

If they do move, there will be some employees who won't go, which is great for other soma startups who will be more than happy to snipe some of their employees.

hopefully the browser will get the 3-finger gesture for back/forward.

Would be nice to have to source -- I could tweak it for people like myself who are trying to learn the colemak layout. The initial word set would just come from the home-row and slowly branch out to other letter positions.

couldn't this be done easier with just a ssh tunnel?

http://www.diysolarhomes.com/ (3rd result & 4th result) definitely looks spammy. It's like the site owner just bought a bunch of keyword-domain names in order to get high rankings on search. Almost all their links look like affiliat

I guess you need a publisher like engadget to get the bug noticed by Google! That bug has discussed on HN & Reddit multiple times this year but was never a priority for Google until now.

maybe you can just use geo-ip by default, so you don't need to prompt the user for anything. (maybe provide a link to the prompt if the location is wrong)

The fitbit tech is pretty primitive -- it looks like it only has a pedometer inside the device. It's probably why it isn't very accurate at tracking sleep. I've been using my fitbit for a few weeks, but it doesn't seem very accurate at al

I remember back in the day, my first very own computer (Pentium 2, 266Mhz) had a 6.4GB drive and I could still put a bunch of games & applications on it without worrying about disk space. These days, a single game like starcraft 2 requ

What's wrong with a newbie script? Seems like people like it based on the comments here. Sometimes the most liked things are pretty simple.

in case you're wondering, we use a simple queueing thing called redpack: https://github.com/luxdelux/redpack

Well Octavio did work a full year on it before finding John, and still took another year of hard work before they were able to release a quality product. Hopefully this app is a home run for them!

As a friend who knows octavio, they've tried various "OCR" techniques from typical journal papers and in general those types of algorithms were mostly for static images. They struggled for 2 years to find the best techniques and I think th

i think mongodb fills a need that isn't covered by redis or sql -- people still need semi-relational data that can scale beyond 100M rows. redis is a nice memcached or scalable data structures replacement. we use it as a simple rabbitmq re

FYI, the people who founded Zappos did not create Tellme. You're probably thinking of Alfred Lin who actually joined Zappos as the CFO much later (after Tony), and happened to be a VP at Tellme. At least according to Tony's book, he was a

The original article explains this: http://www.eng.umd.edu/media/release.php?id=71 "TMV becomes inert during the manufacturing process; the resulting batteries do not transmit the virus."

I'm not sure that increasing battery capacity is correlated with more explosive activity. These guys are using using the virus to increase surface area but the amount of lithium polymer may still remain constant so I don't think it will be
