   "Asian populations at the Ivy League are ~25%+ (nearly or more than 30% at Stanford and MIT)" This is simply not correct. If you find yourself saying something like "nearly or more than" after a number with as little precision as 30%, then

   The posts targets users not familiar with nix systems as well. Often times, it's not as simple as ./configure && make. There are dependencies that need to be satisfied and PATHs that need to be configured (depending on your distro).

   For me the reason is two fold. Sharing the hacks I build is easier when I don't have to deal with NAT. Secondly, for some environments, like the default Amazon Linux AMI the default packages and PATH makes it a huge hassle to compile/instal

    I don't see how this makes sense for Amazon. The $10/hr charge seems to be a flat rate no matter how many dedicated instances you have in the region. Thus I can start 10000 "small" instances and pay pennies per hour + $10/10000. Surely a sm

    This is a completely useless article. The only evidence presented is that YouTube is altering view counts is "One CNS News reader reported the likes to be at 838 on March 23." The rest of the article just describes what the rest of the inte

    Also, webkit's multitouch gesture support is rather terrible compared to the iOS SDK's. Rotation and zoom with multi-touch worked, but was obviously not native to anyone who used iOS devices on a regular basis. Expect jumpiness, rotation ab

    Bad title but the article is incredibly important for anyone building a mobile website targeted at iOS. The included techniques are inexplicably difficult to find, and even in Apple's own documentation.

    In the typical node pattern, errors should be sent as part of the callback for asynchronous IO. For exceptions, a "throw" statement will not be automatically propagated to the other client, best practice is to catch the errors and call a cl

    Hey substack, The implicit callback is definitely my least favorite part in building NowJS. You can still pass in an additional callback to do any asynchronous I/O. We're trying to find ways to make this experience better for the next versi

    This is rather heinous. A fee is definitely understandable but a per-device fee is really outrageous. I don't know how carriers were willing to agree in the first place. If they collectively bargained against this before even carrying the p

    I think that's a bit unfair. Many large properties allow authentication through Facebook. I don't see why there is a concern with credit card information and Facebook authentication?

    CPU and GPU are good at different tasks. For some jobs a single GPU probably will be much faster but there are some jobs where CPUs will still excel.
