Oh wow!! My sympathies for C/C++ developers not being able to Google errors pre 1998 :-) This article should have come from the bottom of the heart of some really "experienced" developer ;-) On another note,I really think the title

Is this true, or an exaggerated report? Anyone read the paper yet? No mention of comparison of number nodes TSP which took "the computer" "days" to solve vs Number of nodes,the flowers constituted.

Writing in Red, and death threats? A Korean social networking site,which started in 1999 ? So,technically,would this be the first successful social networking site? Nice information and links! From this discussion,I am inclined to the prop

That's definitely true- but say you want to check for (+/-2)^n, then you would have to deal with negative numbers. If you go by the Two's complement representation, then for a negative number say (-8), because of sign extention, a check fo

In the final version of x&(x-1)==0, one part was overlooked- negative numbers :) Take the modulus and do the bitwise check!

Does anyone have pointers/links to application or research of fractals in the recent past ? Atleast in network traffic analysis, there seemed to be a lot of buzz about "self-similar" nature of TCP/IP,Ethernet, till around 2005-2006- you can

Twiddla looks nice! The etherpad menu seems to be disabled for me though..and I cant even see the "play " button. Could you share information like the approx size of your customer base, and typical use-cases of your service? EDIT: My bad-

That is a strong departure from the stereotype! I'm really interested to know more.. Does this person have a blog?What type of projects has he worked on? Would be great be if you could elaborate on what had unlearned!

I think a lot of points mentioned/not mentioned in this article are debatable...Security,Features,Target audience... But this article by Evan Williams is almost timeless( written in 2005, Pre Zynga, pre Facebook) http://evhead.com/2005/11

On this topic- any recommendations good books/articles on Maths/statistics, or how the mind does estimation, and how to improve the same? Back when I was in high school, I had read this book "How to develop a super power memory", by Harry

Could you shed more light on aspects of your self-discipline while being an early employee at a startup?

Reminded me of this thread- about unethical things people did to get their startup off the ground. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1589257 Going through some of the things people confessed doing, this almost seems mild! Spamming(q

While this is interesting,I think there is a lot of scope to draw mistaken conclusions- a)What is the justification of having a sample time of just 1 hr? That's not even large enough to ignore effects of time zone differences (Twitter is p

What is really interesting is that, Curriculum search is not new- I have been using it for around 2 years. I just happened to discover from course of conversations, with some of my friends, that they haven't heard about google curriculum

I'm guessing you saw only the course listed on the left- not the curriculum search itself. If you use the search, and see lecture notes, assignments,ppts on various topics, you might come across things you didnt know before.

I agree it does look like link-baiting-after all this is a link to Google's own site. But since there are two places to search- Code, and curriculum,PERHAPS Curriculum search is somewhat overlooked. I didnt know about filter:csci before.. I

Singapore's rise as an economic power is also something to be marveled at. The country was nothing till 1965 when they achieved independence, and separated from Malasia. I dont remember where I read this- Singapore government had a similar

If this is a phenomenon present on x % of youtube videos, it is news worthy. Why otherwise? While on the topic,can anyone shed light on how the counters on youtube work- number ranges? Are the counter increments non-probabilistic?

Adding to Arrington's likes and dislikes- and having read that "timeline", I felt that it missed out on a lot of things: a)when Arrington got out of bed today, what was the startup he was thinking about? Was he thinking of the same startup
