There was a thread on HN some time ago and I saved this link, which has some instructions on where to find the data and a description of the format. ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/gsod/readme.txt I wanted to start a little project to proc

I always thought that the Strunk and White was about style - it's up to the reader to decide whether it's good advice or not - but to call it clueless is just wrong. My English improved a lot after reading that book.

There is a book that has some of the same questions, and a lot more. It's "How would you move Mount Fuji" by William Poundstone ( http://www.amazon.com/Would-Move-Mount-Microsofts-Puzzle/dp/... ). As stated in some of the comments already

The layout is neat, but the purpose of the site is not obvious at first. Is it a review site? A shopping site? It's only after clicking around a bit that one can understand what the site does (present a selection of products in a cleanly

It is a derivative of oCaml and Haskell, but it's also a multi-paradigm language that borrows from C# and Python. It has elements of imperative and OO. I don't know if it really is "the most original new face", and could be critized for tr

Accoring to this article, the income/home price ratio has gone 1950 -> 2.21 1960 -> 2.11 1975 -> 3.15 2008 -> 4.40 With housing bubble and all, it seems that this is part of a long-term trend. Choosing 1975

As an amateur photographer, I have often noticed how the best nature images are often of curves, or other geometrical shapes with some amount of symmetry. Lines that converge to the corners or lead the eye towards the intended focal point a

They complain about lack of video, but I have to imagine that holding up this object to take pictures or record video would be quite awkward. It is a large object. It would look kind of funny - in the way that large cellphones from 1998 l

it’s not hard to imagine Apple doing their best to phase out the Macintosh in the next decade, just as they phased out OS 9 I completely disagree. There's a need for high end machines for image, sound, and other professionals w

Depends on what you mean by "normal"... However, now that the me-too effect is wearing off, it does seem like its use has become more esoteric and "exclusionary", as the author writes. I myself don't see any use for it but I can see how ot

Cool. It looks like it would be a big strain on the neck, having to hold your head up like that, but on the other hand, it's only for short flights... But the real questions is: how do you see the ground while you're landing, if you're fac

In IE7, the CSS is being completely ignored and the page does not work (Note: I am behind a proxy, it might have something to do with it). It works with Firefox. Also, I know of a domain, seventypercentwater.com, but it doesn't show up in t

The website probably needs a redesign for various reasons, but in the meantime you should know that in IE7, the text in the features page is partially hidden by the blocks on the right. It's a serious flaw that severely impairs the respect

It's true that these security directives don't seem to make much sense, but what is the alternative? I think what they are tring to accomplish is to simply reduce the risk of a repeat "accident" along the same line of the one that happened

F#. I work in a primarily Microsoft-based environment, and I wanted to learn a functional language, so F# is a good choice for me - I can actually put it to use at my "day job". jQuery. A great javascript library.

To find out what it's made of, they are thinking of using spectroscopy. To find out the density, it's mass over volume. They infer the mass by the planet's distance from its star and by its orbiting speed, and they get the volume by the am
