I really like the "ctrl + o" trick mentioned in the third comment: "Normally, if you enter a series of commands, you can go back to the first one, and hit Ctrl-O repeatedly to run the current command and retrieve the next." Found a descript

"Herzog was inspired to make this film as he narrowly avoided taking the same flight while he was location scouting for Aguirre, Wrath of God. His reservation was canceled due to a last minute change in itinerary." Wow. What are the odds?

I'm going to play devil's advocate here, but I don't see how you can run out of reading material on HN. I use Jeff Miller's newsyc50 feed (which contains all submissions with more than 50 points), and I have a hard time keeping up... http:

Good point about not being able to copy/paste the final text. I don't understand why I should OCR the final output, though, since I already have access to the "raw" text. If I were to OCR it and generate a new PDF, I'm back to square one, s

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply. I think the best strategy for me is option (c). I agree that slide decks suck as a sharing medium (unless you go to the trouble of adding "notes" under each slide, and share that, but then you're better

Vitesse looks great. I might be interested in using it for my slide decks, too. I'm wondering about the licensing model, though... When I go to buy it, pricing depends on the number of CPUS. If I were to buy this font and use it in a slide

If I were to replace the "synchronized LinkedHashMap", I'd look at Google Guava's in-memory cache: http://code.google.com/p/guava-libraries/wiki/CachesExplaine... Here is a talk about it: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Concurrent-Cac

As I understand it, pagination is there for performance reasons: the server does not compute the rest of the page until needed. Adding a script that pre-fetches all pages would defeat this.

If this gives you any solace, I'm planning to boycott the US for the near future. Being French, I've always wanted to visit the US, and I'd love to come work / build a startup in the Silicon Valley. I'm really interested in American culture

I personally prefer Guava's immutable collections: List<String> fruits = ImmutableList.of("apple", "orange", "pear"); It also works for sets and maps: Set<String> fruits = ImmutableSet.of("apple", "orange", "p

The video was posted on InfoQ on December 23. Since the presentation's slides got a good reception on HN two months ago, I thought HNers might be interested in the video. Previous discussion of the slides at http://news.ycombinator.com/ite

That's why the poll is missing an option. I've never registered a domain using GoDaddy, but, the way the question is phrased, I almost clicked "No", since I indeed "did not transfer my domains from GoDaddy today". Doing so would have skewed

I wonder what's the best alternative for server-side template generation on the JVM. I used FreeMarker on a previous project, it's pretty cool ( http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/ ). There is also mustache.java ( https://github.com/spu
