Not as extreme, but when I bought my 1.5 terabyte hard drive, I thought that I would be seeing 1.5TB when viewing its properties. I saw 1.36TB instead. So where did the other 0.14TB go? I thought I got scammed. Then I looked at the number o

This wouldn't be an alternative to a real instrument, because beginners wouldn't be able to practice correct posture, and professionals don't get the flexibility they need. However, this would be really useful for people who play music as a

No, it's probably not because our country starts with "can" The real itch is that some of these services are available as long as I drive an hour south and get past the border and find open wi-fi. Pretend you're an avid soccer fan. It's as

I've never hated a programming language until I met LabVIEW. In all honesty, the reply about LabVIEW is absolutely correct. Even PHP doesn't compare to the monstrosity that is LabVIEW. The FIRST robotics competition promotes using C++ or La

Although it would decrease the "greenness" of the home, I can imagine that making the walls motor-powered would make room switching easier. You could integrate a master controller into the wall with options for which room you want to switch

Unfortunately, most of these payment handlers only allow US companies to use their services. I'm in Canada, and I've been trying to find said services, and every one that I've found using searchyc only accepts US companies. Some of them say

A statistics teachers from another class in my high school had a rock-paper-scissors game at the end of the year. But the catch was, you had to bet your mark in the game. If you won, he adds 1% to your final mark. If you lost, you lose 1% f

Isn't that how people who have been programming a fair amount of time do it? Or do they buy new books every time they're interested in a language?

I was doing some site security tests a while back, and I noticed that certain inputs got cut off or disappeared. It was a lightbulb moment when I realized that the browser was eating all the input before the angle bracket. So be careful, si

I doubt they'll "instantly" be better than 90% of CS students, but if they're interested, they'll ultimately put in more time by themselves to learn how to program. I remember that I was learning to program just as I was entering high schoo

Although it's illegal, some people who read resumes look at an asian or middle-eastern names on resumes and they toss it, just because they can't pronounce it. The reason for it is because they don't want to go through the hassle of determi

It seems like the trees were breathing in and out. Sort of reminds me of another video with the same concept, except it was of a flower following the sun.

I recently bought a small dual solar/dynamo powered flashlight. 30 minutes of solar power can power the light for 10 minutes, but 1 minute of turning the crank can power the light for 30 minutes. If the sun is out for say, 12 hours a day, t

Interesting contrasting view. And you are right, we should be professionals. But on the other hand, if you consider it as a project triangle approach, you're given "Well-designed UI, maintainable code, cheap: pick two" And as professionals,

Your 40-watt bulb has to be fairly close in proximity in order for the light to make things more visible. And since movie screens are so big, you have to be fairly far away in order to see the whole picture. The energy output from light fol

The problem with thinking "students can learn on their own" is that there is an autodidact culture here at HN, so that view is skewed a bit. Most entrepreneurs have a different mindset from these people. They want to do something big like m

I was in your situation a couple of months ago, but I realized that joining a club/team is the easiest way to meet people who share the same interests as you. If you want to meet other programmers or people who are similar to you, join a CS

In the US, you can call yourself an engineer whenever you feel like it, and you can put it on your resume and tell your employers that you're an engineer. Here in Canada, it's illegal to call yourself an engineer without having a license. A

Algorithm competitions aren't like playing Rachmaninov's second piano concerto. It's more like playing a simpler piece that everyone knows, like Canon in D. Except you learn to play it faster than anybody else. You're giving advice on how t
