whitespace. Tabs are non-standard across systems and of a non-unit length and so when custom continuation lines are indented, they have to use a mix which wreaks havoc when the tab length goes from 4 to say 8 or vice versa. If you are inter

interesting idea but the best evidence the guy has is based on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Anybody have any real world statistics on this?

no. No problems with my gmail account. specific information with supporting evidence would also be nice for an article this high in the HN news rankings...

Instead of C++, I would advise learning C. If you are still interested in learning C++, I would still advise learning C first as C++ is (or at least was originally based on) C. K&R is probably the best way to start on C.

Use it in a terminal with no X. Much faster [to use] that way and this has a minimum of clutter. It does cause a problem with some picture intensive things though...

I personally have no problem (okay, some problem) with apple cornering the hardware market for smart phones. My bigger concern is if they corner the software market as well. The software from apple is more suited to the non-technical user (

And perl has nothing approaching Python's readability. Perl may be easier to start with now but in 6 months, it will become a major headache. Read http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/3882 . Using Python would be an excellent choice imo.

The next step is to integrate this into bash.

Here is how it generally works. This method provides a salt along with a nonce. In general, only the actual user knows the password. Start: User registers for a service and submits a username + password. The password is salted and hashed in

Indeed. md5 hash on password + random token is industry standard now. It would be good to have that here.

Good directory structure + version control + a list keeping program that I wrote. The list keeping program just keeps lists along with entries in said lists. Lists and entries can then be retrieved based on regular expression sequences, tim

Very nice. One thing that seems to have gone un-noticed till now: LaTeX support would be nice. Secondly, the UI right now is very sparse and that is a great thing. Make sure that extra features don't clutter it up. Other than that, great ap

Actually, there are special SEC regulations for stock markets for private companies. There are some extra restrictions on them* but they are there. Look up Goldman Sachs trading platform for unregistered securities. * To my (sparse) knowled

Actually, nuclear is not as economical as other forms of energy after all the US govt. red tape is accounted for . If that were not the case, much of Japan and several countries in Europe would not get a majority of their power from nuclea

Another more important question, does the extra fragmentation actually affect performance and how does fragmentation behave over time (as linux file systems tend to de-fragment themselves during use)?

by newt0311 18y ago
Indeed, no ZFS support in major linux distributions due to licensing issues. FreeBSD has support for it though.

Both. Best to have a language which is initially interpreted and then gets compiled just in time. With JVM as a prime example.

Mentioned before but pyGTK is also a good option.

Hmm. Running that in Bash would result in an error as backslash characters aren't escape sequences inside single quotes.
