First, just a note, you can only see that section if you're logged in. Second, I disagree that it is 'directly against the rules' - no where there does it say specifically that you must not post solutions elsewhere. I think

Patch is basically hyper local news. I've followed the one for my town in the past (Kensington, MD) and there's a lot of overlap and shared stories with neighboring ones. (Silver Spring, Bethesda, other areas in Montgomery Count

He wrote a really good article about using static code analysis with Visual Studio here: http://www.altdevblogaday.com/2011/12/24/static-code-analysi... I imagine this was on the same train of thought that le

You don't even need the VODs, because a replay encodes all the information about the game already in machine readable form. I wouldn't be surprised if someone somewhere is already doing large scale analysis of available SC2 repla

This is not unique to Google, GPS is widely used as a time source for telecommunications and as an input to NTP daemons.

Good post. What tends to happen on other forums I read (and even Usenet back in the day) is that the community would split in some way if this type of topic overload occured. i.e. too much politics talk = create a new politics subforum (o

Ah, I think I had seen that but forgotten to note it. Thanks.

Not a problem. I'm interested in the abstract algebra question too, as I haven't actually done any research yet. Perhaps someone should start an r/categorytheory. :)

We had a discussion on this when Stephen's last post showed up here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6041726 I've been looking into this myself and I have a similar background as you (elementary calculus and

ACM has published some "History of Programming Languages" books (really conference proceedings) I picked up that are very interesting. Vol 1 was published in 1981 and is on Amazon ( http://amzn.com/0127450408 ) and

Agree. I spent some time looking through the archive of his manuscripts at UT ( http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/ ) and there's some good stuff in there. http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/transcripti

Yes, I have this book too and found it extremely useful and enlightening as well. I wrote a paper on functional programming concepts a few months ago and wrote a bit up front about the lambda calculus, and this book was how I brought mysel

It's good to hear the current project is doing it right. (Former USAF here) The Air Force hasn't done too well in recent years... DIHMRS (the integrated one you mentioned) then ECSS, which just got cancelled at the end of last y

Indeed, the Air Force centralized its finance operations a few years ago and it got way worse in my opinion. Any interaction with finance was just terrible - dealing with travel pay, or issues with your regular pay, took forever. They did

After trying Fever, Tiny Tiny RSS (both self hosted), and Feedbin (very slow), I've switched to Newsblur and I like it quite a bit. I formerly used Reeder on iOS and my Mac with Google Reader to sync, but I'm using the Newsblur a

The GIG does not describe one data center, it is an all-encompassing term for the entire set of interconnected computing resources owned and operated by the DoD.

As a BS & MS in CS degree holder, who did not have a thesis option, I agree wholeheartedly. The article mentions that the coursework programs are basically extensions of undergrad, and that certainly applied to my program. I was a bit

I'm not sure how it can be said that Apple has missed gestures, since my iPhone and my Macbook's trackpad are my most-used gesture input devices by a longshot. Every other gesture-based input I can think of that I use is for one-offs. The

I have that use case also, but I use Instapaper to do it, not just for HN but for anything I read on the Internet (inside of an RSS reader or not).

by jcurbo 14y ago
This exactly matches my use case for RSS. High volume daily websites - like HN - I read directly. I went through a phase where I tried to read HN via RSS (in Google Reader) and for me it wasn't better than just hitting HN directly. But fo

Yep, after bouncing between vim w/plugins and Sublime Text for the past year or so, I spent a day messing with emacs and have somehow found a sweet spot for my workflow. (haskell-mode/ghc-mod and AuCTeX - schoolwork) I've tinkered with em
