This is interesting, and I hadn't heard about it until now. Would you care to elaborate, or point to further information?

Excuse the nitpick, but what you meant to say is "All those scripts having #!/bin/bash at the top, they will still work exactly as they always have if you change the line to read #!/bin/zsh "... and it's not quite clear why you would want

Ninja is mostly encoding agnostic, as long as the bytes Ninja cares about (like slashes in paths) are ASCII. This means e.g. UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1 input files ought to work. I was going to say that this is brittle because UTF-8 multi-byte s

Off-topic, but does anybody else find the Groupon stock "chart" on that page infuriating?! It looks as if it's interactive, suggesting that you can use the control at the top to zoom in on a particular time range, or use the slider at th

I might be missing something, but how is that relevant? Surely there's no need to hot-swap any OpenGL API methods, right? EDIT: Also, I googled a bit and I can find no indication that HotSwap doesn't work for static methods. Are you sure y

Thanks for this optimistic reply. You're right, the "hacker spirit" has proven time and again that it can overcome any obstacle. Those who explicitly seek out open hardware will always be able to find it. My concern is just that the lure

I don't think that's any more an issue than today's car owner's have a poor experience because they don't have to worry about setting the fuel/air mixture in their carburetors like I had to with my first car. Sorry, I didn't express mysel

It's not a versus, it's a peaceful cohabitation, only some evangelist and/or journalists want to push us to believe there's a war but that's really not true. I wouldn't call it a war, but Atwood (who, by the way, is neither an evangelist

I think Atwood is right, PCs are on their way out simply because with tablets there is so much less that can go wrong. He mentions tech support in the article: THAT is why they will win, regardless of whether or not they will fully replace

Or you could do an out-of-source build, which is cleaner anyway. CMake and autoconfiscated projects support this by default.

I agree that in many cases this meticulous approach is overkill. But what it demonstrates nicely is, as the man says, 'Git means never having to say "If only I'd realized sooner."' When you do need your commit history to be as neat as possi

I've used Gephi before and it's awesome. I can highly recommend it if you need to visualize or explore graphs, especially very large graphs which it handles gracefully. That said, what's with the title for this submission -- how does the li

I very much agree they should have added instructions to the page. However when I went through the process there was a prominent note saying that when in doubt, you should reject keys and upload new ones. So the "I dunno. Looks fine?" case

Certainly, a HN thread won't end up filled with a side discussion about office restroom design. I've upvoted your comment to help ensure that won't be the case. My other comment being close to the top of the thread at the moment, I'm sorr

I'm not a fire safety expert by any means, which is why I added the "as far as I understand" qualifier. That said, don't you have the possibility of something blocking the path of the door regardless of which way it swings? I guess if it'

by julian37 15y ago
Another solution (albeit more costly) would be to re-hinge the door so it swings outwards, and make the springs easy enough so people can push it open using their shoes. That's not the gentleman's way of operating a door, but with the trash

I think you're right, and it makes me sad. Who would prefer a distorted image over a non-distorted one, black bars or not? The only explanation I have for this is sense of entitlement: "I paid dearly for each of these pixels so you better

You want to be small, but C bit operations as native operators inside the core are a good idea. Not being a Lua user, it took me a little while to parse that. You're right, implementing these as library functions is silly, and having a d

Come on, those are very minor quibbles. If you want aliases, it's literally a matter of five minutes to find some (e.g. [1] is the 4th hit for a google search for "git aliases") and put them into your .gitconfig. And I would argue that pref

Just like the article I didn't say anything about space or time complexity, only about the number of combinations (permutations) of visiting N destinations. That number is constant regardless of how sophisticated your algorithm is :-)

The classic example is figuring out the most efficient route for a traveling salesman going to multiple destinations. [...] For example, if you have six destinations, there are 64 possible combinations. If you have 20 destinations, there a
