It's a nice hack, but it's better to use external service for this. We run https://t1mr.com One problem is you need separate infrastructure to host your monitor. You also need to monitor the monitoring service, or it i

Right, so the value of the simulation is somewhat questionable. Exponential slowdown is enough to kill all intuition about what works and what doesn't. You only get some correctness gurantee and that would be for very small problems

I don't really find the tree view useful. But I wish there was a way to see the code weight by individual files and whole repos: as KLOCS, size, anything. Is there such an extension?

Can you give good examples of the both kinds of software frameworks?

What if you tried to transcribe the music solely from Fourier transform of the audio source? I expect the piano has an abundance of harmonics, but there should be some way to distinguish them from the keys. Hasn't someone done it alrea

You really need a data driven approach in this. Gather statistics of actual vehicles going from point A to point B so that you know the best way to do it in the future. I'm running a routing optimization service ( http://flee

I believe the accepted definition for big data is data you can't handle on a single machine and need a cluster to process. So Moore's law makes it a moving threshold.

It was about time someone optimized charging/discharging of batteries. I didn't know ordinary batteries have such a potential for optimization, I thought that would be the batteries in UPSes. Current UPS batteries die in 3 years,

Both HN and Facebook are not regular forums (they have distinct features). If you are trying to change politics with software, perhaps a good way to approach the problem is to try solving something specific, then build the community and wri

The internet does rewire the fabric of society. Facebook has a big role in modern revolutions. I'm just skeptical that the forum format has the potential to bring further material advances.

Sure, checking for a string on the web page is also in the basic functionality. We also ping your site every minute, so you'll know about problems immediately. The advanced (paid) functionality is a restart of your vps or other automat

I wonder if there is a way to integrate in OSM automatically gathered data from users smartphones, like Waze does. There seem to be incentives to smartphone app makers to provide that. Is there any nice description of the ecosystem around O

That theory would predict that people on the same age, but with bigger vocabulary (or expertise in a particular domain) take more time to pick words (or make decisions in that domain) which is the opposite of what seems to happen in everyda

So, how does it aggregate rankings? Arrow's theorem says there is basically no good way to do it ;)

Of course. Not using any framework (external or built in-house) would mean that the team didn't find any useful abstractions that could be layered on the raw JavaScript. Very unlikely.

That chart compares median income with total student debt. Also the scale for median income is not zero-based. The point is still valid, but this widespread use of misleading charts is awful.
