Some stuff I've recently studied that I find elegant: van Emde Boas Trees: A tree structure which supports some heap operations (insert/extract-min) in O(lglg n) time using some nice storage and recursive tricks. I actually just w

Colorado feels really under-represented on HN for some reason. On Who's Hiring I've only ever seen at most 2-3 Colorado based companies hiring. However, Fort-collins/Boulder/Denver all have a very rich tech culture if yo

Introduction to Algorithms by Cormen is a great. It is set up as a sort of reference and isnt necessarily meant to be read cover to cover. However, you'll need to read/understand the first 4 or so chapters (on asymptotic complexit

Very valid point, and I you're right you really would have no idea. You could check on some devices if you knew enough about hardware to compare the internals and the diagram, but that is a select few people. This is why customer-compa

We've seen this phenomenon, just on a smaller scale. When an encryption standard is compromised, people either switch to something stronger or face the consequences of essentially leaving their data in the open. DES was an acceptable s

Everyone focuses on the decrypting power of quantum computing, which is warranted as it will break _modern_ cryptography (in theory). However, think about the encrypting power a quantum computer will have; being able to generate completely

If the source code/hardware diagrams are kept private you should assume backdoors, always, with everything. How is there any other way to know for sure otherwise? These government agencies are obviously dug much deeper in private indus

Yeah that soil data mart is a whole other animal. Luckily I'm mostly on the agronomy side of things right now, focused on Nitrogen, so we just kinda skim the data for soil properties (such as hydrology) that we need and display the GIS

This is excellent, great job. I'm currently doing an internship with USDA-Agricultural Research Service(ARS), and was pleasantly surprised at the amount of free meta-data they offer to the public. For instance, I'm currently doing

I'm confused as to why an iOS app written by you denotes "#Apple still beats #Android"? Couldn't anyone code this for Android as well or am I missing something? Besides that little tidbit with the OP/author, this st

I completely agree. I'd love to see some major public transportation like this around Colorado. Just last weekend my girlfriend and I took a day-trip to Boulder from Fort Collins (through Longmont), and the congestion through Longmont

I live in Fort Collins right now attending Colorado State in my last year and went to high school in Loveland and must say I am very surprised at this. With that being said, over the last 5 years this area has seen a lot of growth, with a l

The start-up cost is high, yes. Around 1200 for a good set-up shopping at the right places. This includes a tent, ballist, surge protectors, light, soil, nutrients, ect. The whole 9 yards. The first few (maybe 2-3) grows will turn out prett

Thank you for posting this, it's an awesome project for cheap. It would be nice to include my feet in my workflow and not just my hands. It would be cool to implement the pedal as a hot-key reader. Say you press the pedal down and type

I was in a similar situation in that I needed a cheap Android device to test on with my college budget and I ended up going with a Nexus 7 for $200. You can also easily find a used 2.x phone for cheap on craigslist or ebay. Hope this helps.

If anyone is on the fence about this, get it. I recently moved to IntelliJ IDEA after being an Eclipse head for a few years and took a co-workers suggestion to try out the free version and absolutely love it. One big seller for me is a nati

Possible? Yes. With multi-core CPUs and improvements in touchsceens such as haptic feedback and dynamic tactile buttons it will be very possible. Practical? Probably not, especially with stuff like this becoming widely available: http:&#x2

I unfortunately have no use for this app anymore (great idea btw), but will surely donate to help a young dev see this through. You are doing much more constructive things than how I recall spending my teenage summers, so hats off to you. C

I was actually just in a similar situation not long ago so I'll explain the route I decided to go: TL;DR : Cross-platform frameworks at this point in time (to me) are either 1. Expensive, or 2. Unreliable in providing a native-feeling

Yeah this sort of question is probably better suited for StackOverflow. Also consider there would be a price for private repos hosted on github. At my university we use a in-house linux mail system to submit assignments. It's not perfe
