All of Apple's 2012 models (save the Mac Pro), and a few of its 2011 models, can drive 2 Thunderbolt displays: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219?viewlocale=en_US#dispnum I've done this myself with both the MacBook Air (Mid 2012) and the

I signed up. The email announcement encourages students of the course to form study groups. I'd love to join a group of San Francisco-based HNers. Email is web-hn-hcigroup@drewhess.com.

Will there be calendar integration, i.e., add an artist's SXSW showtime+venue to my calendar when I discover something I like? If so, I can stop working on this myself and move on to something else :)

Can't imagine using HN any other way. I hope this is resolved soon.

Agreed. Sonic.net has been my ISP for 5 years now, and I've only had a problem with their DSL service once. The problem turned out to be a failing modem, which they replaced, for free, even though the modem had just gone out of warranty. Ca

When I was in London recently, I used the London Transport iPhone app for getting around: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/london-transport/id393119892?... It was a little quirky (the bus arrival times seemed to be off a bit), but overall q

I can't rule that explanation out, but I think it's unlikely in this case: my DHCP server knows the MAC address of all of my machines, uses a static MAC->IP mapping, and doesn't update DNS (which is also static). The IP and hostname (as

When coming out of sleep, my Macs often get a new computer name in the form of a " (N)" suffix; e.g., a Mac named "vision" will come out of sleep and mysteriously change its name (as reported in System Preferences->Sharing) to "vision (

Consider replacing C-a in screen with C-z by putting this in your .screenrc: escape ^Zz C-a interferes with command line editing and Emacs. C-z makes it a pain to background a process in screen, but if you're like me, you probably never do

Interesting. The parallels between ML and Scheme, two languages invented in the '70s and in an academic setting, are striking: the core language is great, but the community is divided into ever-so-slightly incompatible implementations, so,

I'm also puzzled why they don't go all-DC. This thread doesn't appear to be getting any traction here. Is there a HN for datacenter geeks?

I use Self Control from time to time, too, but I wonder if you've experienced the same problem that I have: namely, that some sites which you haven't blacklisted stop functioning, too. For example, often when I block HN, reddit, and MacRumo

Whoa there. Church-Turing tells us that everything that is computable is computable by a universal Turing machine. It also tells us that a universal Turing machine and the lambda calculus are computationally equivalent. The lambda calculus

Everything that gets synced -- bookmarks, preferences, etc. -- or just passwords? Do you have a source for that? I can only find evidence that passwords are encrypted client-side.

This is great! It deserves to be hosted on a dedicated service, though: something with search, at least, and preferably with a link to the software used so that submissions could be crowdsourced.

I'm already a happy Linode customer, but for my particular needs, $19/mo is much too expensive for a UK VPN endpoint. I'm looking for something more like prgmr.com prices (also a happy customer of theirs; they just don't happen to have any
