If you implement one of the bounty algorithms you get the bounty, but you also get a payment when your algorithm is used. It's not going to make you a millionaire, but if you work in $FIELD_OF_STUDY and want to make a couple bucks in y

It'll be interesting to see the devices that come out of this, sort of a standardized blade server. I'm still looking for the PoE powered version of this for a small cluster, having a single connection for power and data. Dual NIC

M-R is a probabilistic primality test, with a deterministic variant for some ranges and a general-deterministic variant dependent on GRH. Lots of people want a better test, so we have Lucas-Lehmer and APRT-CL and AKS. Better primality testi

It feels like Alibaba fell for Amazon's joke. I wonder how often this happens for companies, where a PR stunt or vaporware press release from company A convinces company B to expend resources to "beat them to market".

You just enumerated their main selling points: "run wires if that doesn't work" and "make sure to replace the default firmware". I don't think this product is the right one for you, but it is for someone my par

Good to see AB testing applied to SEO instead of just UX changes. The tl;dr version: A/B testing is: bucket(hash(experiment, user identifier)) A/B testing for SEO is: bucket(hash(experiment, url))

These "tuts" are amazingly nostalgic. Between this and Fravia I probably learned more about how computers worked than any other course or article. I remember running through most of these to build up my own personal GFX library. S

Supposedly that is why AWS located their infrastructure in Oregon, after starting in NoVa. They optimize for "lowest probability of disaster" before considering other options like cost (primarily power) and connectivity.

"one event one album" doesn't make sense either. If you only have 16 words on your entire site, make sure they're correct.

I built the same thing in terrible form a few years ago! https://github.com/007/hashcash-js I always wanted to go back and put in a TOTP seed and properly productize it to make it easier to use, but I never made the ti

Is OSVDB any different? "Open Source" Vulnerability Database implies openness. The maintainers are trying to implement a paywall. I feel bad for OSVDB from a sysadmin perspective, but if Aaron's case was so polarizing for ess

I've had something like this bite me before. Back in ~2008 one of the browsers introduced support for a new attribute keyword for some HTML element (Maybe "autocomplete"? I wish I could remember.). Since there wasn't one

I had an idea once to make something like this, but on a much more (ridiculously) grand scale. The basic concept was "Society from First Principles", sort of a cross between Boy Scout Handbook, Wikipedia and Robert's Rules of

YouTube can stream from outside of my WiFi network at 720p or 1080p, streaming within it shouldn't be a problem. Pushing the codec pieces far enough down the stack that they're done by hardware will be the bottleneck. In any case,

More of a neutral background would be a good start, something like the Kima Ventures site where white-on-red is used as a bold title versus the whole page text. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/01/28/color

The annotation is critically important. Seeing a link to [mozilla.org] with talk about threading, I assumed it was something to do with Firefox (which I care about) versus Rust (which I don't).

Unrelated to this particular snafu but still potentially problematic: if you have your Authenticator account named by its default name (foo@example.com) and you add another account with the same key, it will be blindly overwritten. I found

I got it on my first guess, but it's still completely unrelated to the problem at hand. The "25 horses" question is much less useful, but gives you an idea of how the candidate approaches a problem. Getting the right answer i

Because "Email us your answer to ZW5naW5lZXJpbmdAcm9ja3RoZXBvc3QuY29t" with no context as to what that means - on a SQL problem - isn't bullshit?
