The first post was an introduction. The second was a nice overview of how to structure your trading system. It brought up points I've never thought of. He did say more detail was coming in future posts. I'm not sure what you're expecting; t

No kidding. I like coding with a hoodie over my head, literally. Never thought about why, but now I know.

Georgia Tech has had an ongoing project for ASL recognition using gloves. They've since upgraded to a Kinect though. Seems to work pretty well. http://kinecthacks.net/american-sign-language-recognition-us... There is one deaf researcher I

I'm profoundly deaf too. My experience is people care less about that and more about your willingness to get stuff done. You've already got a good start by just being on HN. That's how I ended up in my current situation working for a startu

Those are way complicated, though. I read that HAT-trie paper some time ago and I still don't understand it 100%. Compare this to djb's crit-bit description which fits nicely in a paragraph and tells you most everything you need to know. I

This is basically a radix/patricia/critbit tree. Those might be O(1) for the number of keys but are O(n) for the length of the key. Note this is true for hashtables as well. Such trees are pretty excellent in practice; they give hash-like f

@jennyholzer: OFTEN AS OFTEN AS OFTEN AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE Very apt, but what n-gram length is being used? n=1 is my guess, since "as often as" is a common English construct. Obvious feature request: tweakable lengths. edit: I'd make the

Nice to see the CEO of a large company that knows how to walk the talk. I've also seen him post on HN. Does Steve Ballmer know the difference between a micro and monolithic kernel?

I'm one of them. I started toying with programming when I was ~14 using ActionScript and my pirated copy of Flash 4. Ah, those were the times.

But poll any dev and ask which is more pleasant to write UI-heavy apps in: web tools, or Java? The forced decoupling of the presentation (HTML) from the styling (CSS) and application logic (JavaScript) is really a nice way of doing things.

ChromeOS needs to expose the hardware capabilities of its host machine. That is really the only reason for native apps these days -- access to camera, accelerometers, various coprocessors, etc. Perhaps that will become viable if NaCl takes

This whole state of affairs is making me very, very sad. I hope ChromeOS wins, only because it has a sane development model -- sans the whole being-stuck-in-the-cloud thing. If ChromeOS ever allows running local apps, that'd be tops. I'm no

Front-end web work, at its basic level, is not hard in the traditional "let's go shopping!" sense, but what I find maddening is how unintuitive some of it is (CSS, I'm looking at you). Then you have to worry about how broken or incompatible
