Has anyone found the contest end date? I have a project I can't put down (unfortunately), but would really like to have time to enter.

I'll get down-voted -- correctly -- for saying something that adds nothing to the conversation, but YES! I think spending my childhood watching Lucas Walencheck was part of my inspiration to learn programming.

I'd really like to see a longitudinal study that models something like: log(mean_realized_income) ~ log(mean_expected_future_income) People who go into humanities don't expect to make a million dollars. Research like this verifies c

Joe Armstrong is a really interesting guy. I think he was my favorite interview in Coders at Work.

I'm similar. I used to always listen to music while coding, but over time I realized for a lot of work, it really is a bad distraction. The only time I really listen to music while working now is for parts that are mostly the coding equival

As far as I'm aware, no. That's why RightAWS said they get an F for communication.

I don't think it was a symptom of routing synchronization specifically, but I'd be curious to know if it was a case of unexpected and undesired synchronization. (E.G. An independent and random cluster of blocks suddenly updated; the network

http://ee.lbl.gov/papers/sync_94.pdf I posted this yesterday, with the conjecture that it may have been a sudden sync problem. It's a good read.

When the dust settles, I'd be curious to know whether some unexpected and accidental synchronization occurred that put EC2 into it's mangled state.

Also how do you meet programming partners. It's been my experience that trying to find a good person to work with is like dating. If you're actively trying to find someone, you seem to have less luck than if you're not trying to fi

1) Explicit privacy policy that never stores DNS requests on a per-client basis. I haven't followed the ISP retention laws but they seemed to be getting more and more ominous. 2) While caching DNS record, when freshing up a stale record,

I mentioned this in the Poker thread. (If I had time right now, I'd consider implementing it.) I would like and would use a DNS service that 1) did not keep any record of my queries and 2) would not propagate government takedowns (e.g.

Okay. This makes me want to indulge in youthful indignation. If I saw this and was at a company like OpenDNS, I'd start considering saying "No. Sorry. We're going reverting back to the last good record." The federal government might have te

Part I really caught my attention when it was posted a week or so ago. I've never really learned about music but it seems like a lot of programmers really like composing music. (Actually, L. Peter Deutsch famously left programming in favor

To some degree, I think unabused HTML 3.2 was less noisy than unabused HTML 5.0... ...but maybe it's really about plain, dumb, and irrational nostalgia.

Consider starting (or merely sanctifying) a HN IRC channel or webchat. I think a lot of people comment and visit HN now just for something to do; they are bored and want to do some intellectual sparing. If there was a irc.ycombinator.com wi

I wonder if their are any BioHackers out there that actually try to do this type of work. (Anyone?) I'm not one of them, but I've always had the impression they play more with bacteria than complex organisms. I think cost and accessibility
