Sadly, the license is GPL rather than the expected LGPL.

What's even better is that the very same people who say things like "communism is inexcusable" support the idea of universal income.

It shows some promise, but for now it's not really usable. All this app is doing is scraping Foursquare data and looking for keywords. This leads to some hilarious results. For example, every frat house in my area is "a zoo&quo

signalfd is awesome, except for the fact that it breaks debuggers. There's a long-standing kernel bug that forgets to notify the program doing a ptrace before delivering a signal to signalfd. Don't believe me? Write a program t

Transit is different. Because you never leave the transit area of the airport, you aren'"entering" the country. This is why Snowden had to hang out in a transit area of an airport hotel until he could get the paperwork to l

There is already a standard for doing exactly that: passing through ATA commands wrapped in SCSI. This can come in handy when a SATA drive sits behind some bridge that speaks SCSI.

The NVMe command set is pretty close to the existing SCSI spec though. In case of security the commands are the SCSI Security Protocol IN/OUT. Shameless plug: if you want to work with this stuff, check out purestorage.com/jobs

That would miss the point. The approach in the article does not hook the audio driver, but rather the decryptor. This gets you the original compressed audio file, not a stream that has been uncompressed (and would have artifacts when re-co

You are reading too much into these comments, I think. Just because there are some annoyances on HN doesn't mean it is the embodiment of pure evil. > Imagine where you'd be forced to go if HN didn't exist, for example. A

I had in mind the kind of format that in effect says "really, I think you are too dumb to use Google" rather than someone pointing out an actual useful resource or a place for further reading. If the reference took some non-trivi

How could they have left out the patronizing irrelevant [0] links [1] to Wikipedia [2] in all the wannabe-academic [3] comments with references[4]? (and yes, references must be 0-based [5]) [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

Interesting, I went searching and learned something new. You are right. Apparently the textual representation of IP addresses was not properly specified in any RFC, so this is in fact a quirk of the implementation. http://tools

I wrote the extension for Udacity before they offered downloads. I agree that it is pretty useless now. I should see if it even works still, thanks for reminding me :) I should probably put a note to that effect in the readme. I wrote thi

Combo washer/dryers are probably more common in Europe than separate machines, and come in a big range of capacities. It's just hard to make a big one work on a North American 120V 15A circuit. I think a more realistic solution to fully au

I'm not sure I'd call the feedback obtained by asking the candidate "Would you recommend us?" before letting them know if they've been hired unbiased. Personally, I would be thinking about ways my answer would impact the hiring decision an

I found DLNA to be a better solution than SMB for this application, though it will still need a separate app on Android. minidlna should be a good fit for the Raspberry Pi. Apple is doing things their own way (DAAP), but you could probabl

You just download the CRX and then drag it into an open Extensions tab. This works, but is completely unintuitive.

So to follow your argument, being a lawyer does not make one "law". Shouldn't people other than lawyers have input on laws? :) Also: Godwin's law.

What about having a "quick commit" branch for the tiny changes and once a day merging the changes into a slower-moving "batch commit" branch with a more lengthy message?

For me, this just makes Greenpeace look bad. I wonder when we will see an "online assassination assassination": a purposely concocted lie that looks like it is spread by another party, designed to "backfire".

Great post. But why is there a biographic blurb about being a developer at Microsoft at 18 at the end? Isn't this exactly the kind of "in your face, I did cooler things at 18 than you ever will" kind of thing that you are arguing against?
