I was thinking the same thing about wanting to go PostGIS. Though they could probably do just as well for their needs (presuming the case is in a single building) by using vanilla postgres' geometric functions. Kind of a moot point si

As much as I cringe to say this, you can get into a pretty decent groove with Word as far as footnotes/endnotes go. I remember in College hating the knowledge that I was using Word but being able to fly through citations pretty quickl

Shouldn't this mostly be handled by Mono? I was similarly surprised by the amount of work it took to get some requests going in a Unity/C# project about 2 years ago.

If you're using libdispatch on the 4S you might consider using a serial queue (for NSOperationQueue just set the maxConcurrentOperationCount to 1) as it starts to eat the CPU pretty quickly if you're trying to load a lot of images

It actually isn't all that surprising, we've hit similar bottlenecks where JPEG decompression on the iPhone ends up choking feeds that are scrolled through quickly. We didn't go the route of caching the uncompressed data on d

Yes, it requires some configuration though. On the S3 side there is a Ruby gem that will send .deb's up to a bucket and put the right files in the right places.[1] On the client side, apt-s3[2] provides the functionality for aptitude t

The release notes actually say Apache 2.4 and PHP 5.5[1], no mention of Ruby or Postgres though. Postgres runs its own Debian repo[2], by the way :) [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseNotes [2] http:&

Would you leave a password or IP address unscrambled in a blog post? It doesn't seem unreasonable to obfuscate that which can be used against you, whether or not anyone actually will . I did wonder why not just take the keys out of t

Thank you for this, some of us take notice of 404-for-security responses like these and appreciate it.

Wouldn't sublime have that scroller on the side with the preview of the entire file? Or do real 1337 people turn that off? Can you even turn that off? Yeah, I've used Sublime twice I think.

I'd argue the title is probably the worst part because singling out a demographic without mentioning that they're talking about said demographic while using bizarre phrasing makes it sound almost laughable. In writing a piss-poor

I'm not sure if I can recall a time being as excited about a mobile accessory. Seems like a smart team that is making an honest effort to establish a successful product (even if this may well be a niche market). Hopefully this gets fu

I'm curious about the CPU usage as well. The Chrome worker process on my system is pegged at 108% just sitting at an idle console :( Still, this is extremely cool, especially seeing an architecture from the OpenCores project being use

With regards to your political argument, its something I've often thought about because it can go either way. There's the loaded language approach as you mention, but there's also the possibility of the hypothetical member o

About three years ago I got in contact with some very nice people at NASA and/or the USGS (I don't recall which agency ended up being the end-point) for what, at the time, was some of the best data available from the joint ASTER m

I wouldn't recommend it if I haven't used it. Sure, the UI is ugly and it blocks on DB ops, but it works. Crashes I haven't had much of tbh

I would argue that in Sprint's case it was less of a branding move than a "we have it too!" One thing I have noticed is that every iPhone commercial I've seen, regardless of carrier, looks like its been approved by Apple

Good on them for doing this, its missing one substantial configuration option though: Redis Authentication. Security groups are great, but it would be comforting to have some challenge when hitting cache.

As someone who moved from MySQL to Postgres, the only thing that took some getting used to was users being actual Unix users that you create and then grant access to. At the time it seemed odd considering what MySQL did but it ended up bei

One comment on the post goes after the analogy not being fully sound because unions helped to prop up wages. Whatever you think about unions, I'll be sort of curious to see if some segment of developer jobs do unionize ever. I get the

Because comments probably aren't the best place to talk about conclusive anything: it's a discussion. If you've done the leg work to get something solid it can at least get the discussion it deserves if submitted to HN.

There's already a couple of these: awesomium (proprietary) and berkelium (open) that basically render Chromium to OpenGL and pass it the HID events you send. That said, they seem to specifically say it's not an actual browser engi
