Upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 killed my MacBookPro (5,5), it gets stuck on boot. Stopping system V runlevel compatibility shows up and then no more :( With recovery mode it hangs on the screen where you choose whether to boot normally or dr

You think that Facebook's hosting is somehow inferior to Amazon CloudFront? You do realize that Facebook is much bigger and probably has more datacenters than Amazon right?

Ah, you're correct. I can only speak of the code in there I have myself used for self study, which was great, but I see now that a lot is missing. I wouldn't mind contributing to such a project myself, but I'm afraid my python is not as ube

After taking multiple courses that touches on bayesian nets and other AI-techniques in general, I have attained what I feel is a good general feel for how stuff works and its mathematical underpinnings. However, I still stumble when trying

I've been successful in getting to talk to an actual _human_ in no other way than through the #appengine channel on freenode. Quite a few of the devs on the appengine team hang there, might be worth a shot.

So.. If I got ill, what would happen? In reality I would have insurance by the norwegian government, but assuming I was american. What does the regular student that doesn't get help from his parents do?

Thank you very much for taking the time to write such an elaborate response, comments like these are some of what makes the HN community great! >In my experience, nobody (most) talked to anyone unless they knew someone ahead of time. It

Yeah, you're right, the methodology doesn't really inspire confidence in the results. As an anecdote though, when I was vacationing there this summer all groceries, restaurants and similar felt incredibly cheap, and although rent on Manhatt

Seeing this makes me wonder, because I've dabbled with the thought of living a year in NYC ever since I visited this summer, but I have been put off by all the warnings here on HN and elsewhere stating that the cost of living there is insan

It's interesting to see such a prominent and talented coder do his work on (what looks like) a totally stock Eclipse install. Not that there is anything wrong with it at all, but it puts into perspective all the time "wasted" by thousands o

I do not necessarily think the web needs generic VMs to move forward, or that JS needs replacing (I happen to enjoy JS with all its quirks quite a lot). I do, however, think that such a transition is possible if the powers that be (Google,

The great majority of IE6 installations today are in China [1], and I presume that is a region where _personal_ installs of IE6 still are quite prevalent. Of course, these people could have updated if they wanted, and this change won't affe

I can confirm that you are NOT hellbanned. One way to see if you are is logging out and see if your comment is still there. If it is not, you are banned.

I am currently attending college, and I can confirm that many at my age refer to a good girl friend as a "bro". It may be stupid and immature, but it is what it is. As other commenters has said, "bro" is describing the relationship and not

If Apple did indeed fake some of the evidence, it will be interesting to see how Samsung chooses to retaliate. This surely has to border on anti-trust?

The design and how it works when it works is pretty good in my opinion, but stuff like what you mention is making me hate the facebook app with a passion. If I get for example a "1 new message" notification, and I press it, nine out of ten

Buzzword bingo aside, the idea is interesting. That said, mixing html and code is not my idea of fun debugging... Is that the way you do it on big apps as well, or is it done that way to make the chat example as small as possible?

I would, if I knew any ruby! For now (at least for the prototyping) I've settled on Flask as it is fairly minimal, works great on GAE, has great documentation and I wanted to try it out anyways :) If I ever get to learning Ruby / Rails I su

Thanks for your input! I've been dabbling a bit with node.js already on small projects, and I like what I see so far. I was hoping to use GAE though, but I guess that is not really a requirement. I do however worry that my relative inexperi

I've tried it out in a VM for a bit, and I must say I'm impressed, but I wonder; is there any reason to use haiku (yet?) over any linux distro for any real-world work? Does it work better on shitty hardware?

Heh, the concept of online clubs (with real DJ, cover charge etc) intrigues me. I wonder if that is just crazy enough to work.

The EDM crowd is exactly the type of people I'd see targeting with this. As you suggested clubs could have their own "rooms", as well as individual DJs. Streaming live (if possible), and saving to an archive. Fans/listeners could obviously

So can a DJ on turntable actually DJ (e.g. transitions, mixes, effects etc)? If not, did Mix-A-Lot just put on cool songs in sequence or did he have a prerecorded mix or what? I mean for the regular facebook-crowd just putting on playlists

by hucker 15y ago
Turntable has got me thinking. It seems to me there would be a market for doing something similar for "real" DJs, where they could stream live sets to listeners. I know I love to listen to a good electronica DJ when I'm coding or just chill
