site doesn't load for me either... maybe the HN traffic is crushing their servers?

they mentioned it reached orbit... around the 10 minute mark. pretty fast! I think they mentioned at one point it was traveling at 3km/s. At 12mins, the solar arrays were deployed. They mentioned it would take a few days to dock with t

XUL is not html, and you'll have to hit the docs every time you need something. Also, debugging XUL is a pain. XUL is pretty ancient too, so that probably doesn't help either. Sticking with plain jane html is definitely the better approac

I doubt employers would even notice. He's got a pretty generic name so unless you're really doing some hard core sleuthing, I doubt this blog post would appear in a search for "Josh Wu". And in today's crazy bubble market, if you know what

I don't think this could have been handled privately without lawyers. It was clear that Miso did not want to hand over the $10k when asked nicely. This reminds me of the scalding coffee from McDonalds. The woman tried to handle the matte

Well in this case, it seems that the company is acting childish. I wouldn't hesitate to hire someone who honest about what he believes in.

To be fair, the mongo people just pulled in a driver that everyone has already been using for the past 2 years or so. christkv's driver has been in use in dozens of projects -- everything from connect to mongoose. It wouldn't make sense t

Usually IE8 users are stuck in IE8 unless they let the OS upgrade their browser, so most of the users that started with IE8 are still stuck in 2009. Chrome/FF users tend to have less issues with upgrades.

In addition to these, one will soon notice that you can't really and write some stuff in C to link into your lua engine in corona. The corona system was probably done this way to make it difficult to shoot yourself in the foot.

It does suck though, quite a few friends of mine were burned on new year's eve and are still a bit reluctant to do it again after that one expensive experience. One friend got hit with $200 for going half a mile... he cancelled the trip m

Lua does have lots of metaprogramming that js lacks, and adding into js could be tricky since you'd essentially have to rewrite existing js code into new code that allows this. However, the grammar rules are fairly convertible. I've conver

I wonder if this will make angels worry, the same way that angels made VCs worry. And if so, I wonder if we'll be seeing better terms for future founders from the old system investors.

probably less so... upverter won't simulate it. circuit lab does look like a useful tool though -- great way for kids to learn who probably don't have access to pspice or oscilloscopes.

I'm kind of wondering how a 3D printer could be so expensive ($500). I've made homebrew cnc machines before at around $200 or so.

You could use with(){} in js so you don't have to pollute your global namespace and still have pretty code.

That's odd, because usually servers get owned from faulty wordpress/joomla instances. I rarely hear of web servers getting rooted via web apps run on python. I'm not really an experienced php dev myself, and when I installed joomla on my

If you're in the bay area, I'd probably watch your dog for free even though I'm not an old lady. Mostly, it's because I have a dog as well, and it's hard to find things to tire her out. (she's a very active corgi) If you're serious, you c

SF rent is probably more than 3x rent of the bay. I believe the Dojo rent is around $1 per sqft -- mostly because that area is actually zoned as light industrial.

Quota is based on domain, and in your case you're serving up everything from dl.dropbox.com. Maybe these users already have stuff in their localStorage from other sites that happen to use that domain? Seems like the fix for that would be t

Standing near a MRI machine is also likely to erase the magnetic material on any of your credit cards -- plus they could never shut off the machine. There's probably a bunch more obvious reasons why MRI was never chosen. And if some metal

to be fair, a basic headless environment (aka server install) is still fairly small (~300mb) even when it includes all the standard libraries, headers, and compilers. however, I doubt people would balk at 5gb on a laptop install as most peo

You won't be able to install via usb because refit/efi won't enable usb booting. You can use the internal dvd drive for installation however -- or replace the drive with a hard drive containing the installation medium. Best way to do this

I haven't seen Nike or Reebok show hints of transparency in their supply chain. They probably have harsher conditions than tech manufacturing, but I'm guessing they've learned to keep their worker suicide rates on the down low so nobody th

they both have plugin systems that allow you to write normal objc code to do anything that wasn't available in their apis... so if you ever needed to call opencv code from javascript, you can do that.

There's only 10,000 units in this batch. I'm guessing it will be sold out in an hour or two.

I think it's only true up to a certain value of n. Once the mass transit system has a subway system that has a train every 5 minutes and stops at most a block from any given location, it makes very little sense to drive. When I visited Ho

I live about 2 miles from the nearest grocery store, and still cook at home at least 70% of the time. One backpack and a bicycle buys enough food for 2 weeks. Even when I lived in the suburbs, there were grocery stores at that distance. I

you should run glxgears to see what your fps is. it would also tell you if you're using software rendering or not.

yes, otherwise making a pirated copy of windows would probably "cost" a billion dollars.
