I love hearing Wolfram give talks (I went to his Elements intro at the SF Maker's Fair, right after the iPad came out), and his blog posts; I get sucked in, thinking--- this genius, he thinks of everything! Then I try to find the &quot

I don't think "tumbles" accurately describes "declines to the price it was two weeks ago", particularly since no one used the word "skyrockets" for the last two weeks' rise (it didn't), or some s

Re your PS3: it's labor day here in America, which means (nearly) every American with a normal job is off for the day and is outside barbecuing.

Not sure why Vanilla JS doesn't require <script> tags, whereas jQuery apparently does.

Uh, sourceforge? When I hear "making these files available" I think github or a simple website. Not something with a download.com-style "Wait 5 seconds while we force this ad down your throat and try to find a mirror because Route 53 / load

Perhaps it's okay as long as that's where the online store servers are located; but I don't see anything about shipping in the article.

I can generate random strings in Python too. Did anyone actually try any of these? None of them work.(Correct me if I'm wrong -- I didn't try them _all_)

Seems like this guy is getting the same error: https://github.com/gaubert/gmvault/issues/4 (Issue number 4 on the github project.) I added my output to the issue. I'm on Gmvault v1.0-beta from pypi. It doesn't recognize the --restart opti

No resume functionality? Or am I just missing something? I've got ~3 GB of emails in my Gmail, and GVault's ETA is 4 hours. It already timed-out once (no discernable reason), and after restarting, went right to email number 1 (forgetting ab

The front page of HN is a brilliant example of why you should use the active voice when the passive is unnecessary. 403 points (active) vs. 150 points (passive). Great A&B testing, guys.

Hey pg, why don't the guidelines have something about submissions behind paywalls / sign-in-walls?

Why is someone who can hack Github working for $30/hr on oDesk? @Egor, quit selling yourself short!

"While it seems unlikely that NGINX could overcome Apache’s commanding lead ..." Oh zdnet, don't you realize that actions like this release from Apache, obviously under pressure from NGINX, are precisely the indicators that you will be eati

Macfusion is sometimes finicky, but works for me most of the time. And it's free (unlike Expandrive).

I was also confused at first, and thought that this guy just re-invented LESS. I think the source of confusion is that he calls his project "Knyle Style Sheets," whereas a more accurate name would be "Knyle markup for Preprocessed Style She

It's hardly a shootout when you don't even control for price (not to mention up-to-date-ness, as intranation noted).

Is there a description of your benchmark machines / benchmark process anywhere? Keep up the great work, btw! I'm pretty excited to move up to Node 0.6 (probably-statistically-insignificant regression on IO-write regardless)!

DIY instructions: 1. Put your camera on continuous shoot. My Canon 20D could do 3 frames/second. My 7D can do 7 frames/second. 2. Make sure your shutter speed maxes out at 1/10th of a second or so. Blurry pics are totally fine. Try to keep
