And for some reason, Google Chrome (conspiracy theorists erupt!) thinks this page isn't in English: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/6vq7ubvff7x4g55/2013-09-...

So awesome. Presumably this doesn't yet allow streaming, including scrubbing / resolution & bitrate switching / etc, since Media Source Extensions / MPEG-DASH aren't supported in anything but Chrome? MSE: https

Thanks for the reply. Sounds neat. Sure be nice if Koding had even a single web page the said this. :)

Does anyone know what Koding.com actually does? I watched both videos, read the "NOW PUBLIC" blog post, and I feel like it might be awesome - but I don't know. Is there a page that details what the product actually is? Kind

I still see "Microsoft now has more than one million datacenters" in the article. Haven't read the whole thing, either.

I (and HN) didn't catch this had already been submitted (the URL has an additional GET parameter). Probably wanna go vote here instead: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5574589

That's not how I read it. The summary was pretty specific... "The next day" isn't a summary of the trip, it's a summary of that day. That day, the car projected 32 miles. It delivered 51. It didn't "fall short" that day.

I thought the most convincing part of Elon's post was his 3rd bullet point, which relies on no data outside of the article, and which this Atlantic Wire journalist ignores entirely: "In his article, Broder claims that “the car fell short o

Neat! Couple of nits, though, if anyone from Tesla is reading: - Wish it used OAuth or some other revocable token mechanism. What if I lose my device? Sell the car? Get a divorce? etc.. - GET for things that change state? Looks like these a

Can't believe this didn't get upvoted. Easily best analysis of what likely went wrong, and how to fix it in the future, I've seen so far. What a bummer HN won't see it.

My motivations are three-fold: A) I want to peek inside myself without having to boot them up. NeXTStep isn't really the most efficient way for me to poke around. B) I don't know if John might change his mind or not, but I want to be prepa

Wow, talk about a blast from the past. Had forgotten he'd .plan'd about that. "Onethumb gets all of our old black NeXT hardware" (note my nick still, to this day, here on HN).

Hi guys, I'm the "someone lucky". :) Great definition, because it was mostly luck that I fell in with id, 3DRealms, and the rest of the FPS crowd. John knew I was into NeXT stuff (my father worked for Steve Jobs as head of Developer Relat

That page appears to be a few months old and they hadn't actually built / shipped any "new" Ninja Blocks, so I'm hoping things have changed. :)

Lots of good questions here, but I think the critical question is whether it's compatible with any of the other emerging standards like Z-Wave. Can someone from Ninja Blocks weigh in on this? There are a ton of Z-Wave components I'd lov

The app is such a great idea, so I bought it immediately, but I have to say I'm disappointed. Much of my travel abroad happened when I was young. There were no smartphones, or GPS. But I know plenty of the places I've visited, hotels I've

This is a great argument. Thanks for the clarification. Storing the salt, algorithm, strength, etc in some standard format would certainly be required for a simplified API like this.

bcrypt uses Blowfish as it's block cipher, so an issue with blowfish is an issue with bcrypt. There have been Blowfish problems, like this charset issue: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-2483 bcrypt also weakens on

Seems bizarre to me that hash_pbkdf2() has also been accepted, was authored by the same author, and provides for "better"* hashing than bcrypt(), and yet isn't the PASSWORD_DEFAULT or, indeed, even an option for the secure password hashing

That's only true if you don't have any WHERE conditions. If you do, and they're indexed (as described by this author), it'll return the count fast.

Not true. Our primary decision was based on unpredictable latency, but the fact that we didn't/don't trust EBS played a huge role. EBS mucks up our basic availability scenario - systems are no longer individual, disposable, replaceable un
