I think that the parent is talking about how much power Google has over mail delivery within its own system, which encompasses a larger number of people. If Google decided to switch to a non standard protocol, then smtp'ers would be le

I think it's the overhead of the call or maybe their distaste for the state of repair of OpenSSL, e.g. Heartbleed, that drove them to it. Alternatively it could just be the chance to write some crypto in Go assembly and have it be in

What if we could design a solar cell that could shift from transparent to opaque on demand? Instead of putting up blinds, simply move a slider or tap a button or what have you, and suddenly the amount of light coming in is dimmed, and the e

I would recommend employing the Agile approach to development. Create and test a wholly working prototype of whatever you're working on, be it a new feature or extending a function. The key is that the prototype should not by any means

Some people think it's a warrant canary of sorts, trying to convey a message that the project had been compromised and was subsequently shut down. But that's all speculation without any evidence to back it up so we may never know.

I dislike Apple, their products and their "you're unique just like everyone else" mentality but i honestly want them to make this move and do it well. They might make an over priced, marginally better EV but more importantly

Your hot-linking cross domain made this impossible to try, as I block this. Please serve your javascript directly, even if it is a third party library. Additionally, the "Over" button (;) does not work for me for whatever reason.

It does not compile because of the header =\ I tried and even though it can be forgiving of null characters, it definitely doesn't like the stray bytes.

Frankly I would be excited to see a relief for our energy crisis fuel exploration of "the next frontier." It really is the future of humanity to perfect (or at least improve upon) space travel, even if only for industrial purposes

Probably because it's a relatively small target to attack while still gaining some exposure, such as front page on HN.

Yes, that would be a more accurate title.

The title does not properly convey the awesomeness that is the awful language he invents.

This strikes me as something that should have been a law since day one. We have checks and balances (and we can argue their effectiveness some other time) between the different branches of government, yet when it comes to the police departm

I think the article misses the point of why piracy was a big thing. It was not always (necessarily) about getting what you want free of charge, but the free flowing access to the media and content. For instance, the reason Game of Thrones i

The problem is that Computer Science has not been able to mature enough to split programming/Software Engineering into another, separate degree. You do not need a PhD to become a Computer Scientist. If you want to do research and devel

by larssorenson 12y ago
I understand what you're saying, but I think that my point is still valid: If you want to offer a degree to become a Software Engineer, it should be a Software Engineering degree program not a Computer Science degree. Someone else ment

by larssorenson 12y ago
Yeah but you'll notice that it is a separate degree and program, targeted for a career in industry applying the math. There are no "alternative" Math degree programs to make better Applied Mathematicians, because they realize

I'm rather frustrated with this huge push to create a "new" CS degree, which is basically saying "Let's abandon half of CS and focus on just programming." Computer Science is, obviously enough, the science of C

The day I can run Visual Studio on Linux to develop a C# app / website I can deploy, run, and test in Linux is the day I forgive Microsoft for their recent issues. They definitely seem committed to turning over a new lease.

Interesting, I was not aware that this sort of situation could spring up. But I don't think this should be a reason behind retaining criminalization of marijuana. To those who tout "Free Market" and "True Capitalism,&quo

Very eerie. Scary to imagine that the very systems we rely on are fundamentally flawed even more so than generic "NSA back doors," but down to policy of implementation.

by larssorenson 12y ago
That does pose a problem. I guess given the situation this is definitely an improvement, but seeing the underlying workings make it seem pretty easy to implement in other technologies, given the simplicity.

I'm more interested in the underlying API than than the node package. Apparently it accesses your profile publicly, so there's no magic here, just an API to construct the right URL. Maybe if it worked with a private diary it might

Yeah I noticed that as well. Hadn't heard about either, so I'm pretty stoked to see what will happen with them. Pond definitely seems interesting, because it'll be easier to pick up and integrate, plus it has the benefit of s
