While certainly not a startup I manage an altcoin pool and DDOS seems to be a big deal in this space. In fact my pool ( http://awesomehash.com ) just got his this morning. It's a really bad feeling. Our miners really have no

> Others rifled off that they thought 2048 was a better game than Threes. That all stung pretty bad. We know Threes is a better game, we spent over a year on it. And obviously, Threes is the reason 2048 exists.” Isn't this a bad roa

I was under the impression that github is popular due to it's offerings outside of DVCS (bug tracker, discussions, documentation etc). To me that makes it seem even more so like keybase. The core of the product is there but it's e

I had this problem when I started looking for jobs. For things like 'senior' and 'skilled' your best bet is to ignore those, just apply away. If you're resume is interesting you'll get a call. As long as you do

When I played Eve I never really felt the need to 'level up'. The learning curve was big enough that just farming money, and running an interceptor was fun enough for me - even after I had bigger ships. The game really is a sandbo

Under settings there is an option for you to import your android dictionary, as well as import contacts. I like that they it's opt in, and going by your comment it seems like they're being honest.

This was always my biggest hold up in fully adopting a kindle. I really enjoy having books to lend out or flip through - not a very strong suit for an ebook reader. Even with all the e-reader benefits I could never really make the switch be

I'm certainly no expert, and it's not OO but I've always enjoyed reading the code of some of the coreutils.

Reddit is a company no? This seems like a pretty good investment to me, regardless of their stance on the legislation. They know they're not going to lose users due to a 12 hour outage and they could pretty much bet on a bit of (free) pre

For what it's worth vimium (and the other chrome alternatives) aren't quite what vimperator is. It's really the only thing keeping me from using chrome, since I hear the developer tools are as good as firebug.

Since it's such a large number and difficult to comprehend Voyager 1 is about 116 AU away. 1 AU is the distance from earth to the sun (150,000,000 km). Earths circumference is 40,000 km. Space is big. Also, a neat summary of the computers o
