   I switched to DDG after scroogle's shutdown. DDG feels a bit slower - obvious, since they add some features, while scroogle basically was just a proxy. What I didn't like about scroogle was their negative attitude (at least it seemed negati

   I really hope, HaXe gets a JVM compile target one day. In my opinion that would make it a perfect language for writing libraries for a large number of problems for a big audience.

   I have two Macs, two iPhones, an iPad and some Apple Software and I enjoyed them. Also I told my Father to buy Apple products (since I'm the one who tells him how his computer works). I saw Apple getting more and more ridiculous over the la

    Another point is file size. Is it really necessary, that every version is twice as big (just estimating...) as its predecessor? At least for many websites this trend has been stopped, due to mobile requirements.

    All HN Posters Should Stop Doing This Immediately. I wonder, if it's just a lacking sense of communication. For example, a friend of mine sends me emails like "Do you have a minute. I've got a question.", "There's something we should talk a

    I wonder, if there are any known cases, where people did not get a particular job (or experienced any other disadvantage), because they had NO facebook account. Personally I don't own a facebook account and any request to facebook from my c

    Some of my readings, but I definitely recommend to find some which are matching with your own interests better: M-Tree: http://www.vldb.org/conf/1997/P426.PDF Periphrase Extraction: http://asv.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/publication/file/9

    Assuming you are familiar with scientific readings, I'd recommend to read papers on algorithms and data structures on a regular basis. There are tons of it and they normally discuss complexity and shortcomings as well as comparisons to othe

    Since he was using very uncommon symbols and the cipher is old, it's not so unlikely, that the author used a simple letter replacement table. Something like: a -> #, b -> *, c -> =, ... and so on. Unfortunately the handwriting i

    +1 Personally I find the whole idea of relying on a third party site for sign-in a bit odd. Let it be Twitter, Google, Facebook or anything else... there will always be people, who don't have an account for that specific site, don't want on

    As much as I love Khan Academy, I hate, that they only offer Facebook and Google as sign-in options. I try to avoid both of them as much as possible.
