You know this already, but I sent them to your email as in your HN profile. I have no idea how important blackboard is - probably less so for the business world, but plenty of students use/encounter them. If it's easy to work out a algorith

Yes, like Posterous has shown, simple can win you converts even if it's lacking functionality.

My source (chalkboard) image wasn't great (dark, low contrast), but I got better results from the service by doing an "invert" before sending it on.

It fails miserably on my chalkboard photo test (it doesn't claim to support chalkboard, but it seems like it should - it probably doesn't take much to determine the background is all dark and run the appropriate scripts) Your 4 step instruc

Ok, based on the other responses, it seems this line confused more than just me: Which brings me to my question, why bother asking the user to login, why not email them a unique, random, url (a https one of course) that once clicked authen

This is a growing trend, and I love it. The concept is "lazy registration", and it makes perfect sense. I think most sign-up forms are designed out of fear - fear of spammers and fear of people quitting the software. Forcing a user to fill

Don't get too excited about that idea, if Stackoverflow's experience is anything to rely on: http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/11/our-amazon-advertising... However, your experiences might be a bit difference since people going to watch s

I'm giving it a try now. Android and SVN plug-ins (the only ones I need at the moment) both installed just fine. It seems to start up a bit more quickly, but I don't have all of the plug-ins I had on the old install, so it's not really a fa

This form-factor/resolution is in the range that I'm not sure I'd ever use it over my phone. I'm really waiting for something like the Notion Ink is supposed to be - especially with the Pixel Qi screen (if that turns out to be as good as th

I don't quite get this. It seems to conflict with their existing import and offers a different set of services to import from. If you have an account, you can import from Tumblr, Blogger, Wordpress (even a self-hosted Wordpress, Movable Typ

Gmail has been amazingly slow and timing out for me a lot lately (Chrome/Linux). The rest of the apps (and Gmail through Android) seem to be fine.

Seems to line up with the old adage about never buying first gen Apple products. I'm sure a new and improved iPad will be released soon - likely based around the new iPhone hardware. And, as usual, people will be hurt, upset, betrayed, and

I'm also from a small town in SC, and I also had a pretty good experience in my troop. The religion and heterosexuality aspects were fairly downplayed and while we went through the motions, my Scout Master told my mother explicitly that I

The money market accounts most Americans have access to as part of their baking account is simply a higher interest rate savings account with slightly different restrictions. It's not investing by any stretch of the imagination. I think th

I'm interested in this device mostly for the Pixel Qi screen. Luckily some other tablets are coming out that will be using that as well (supposedly), but the Notion had the most interesting feature-set of the bunch. The amount of hype fol

Sorry, that's exactly the error I was getting, and signing in to gchat once in Gmail seemed to have fixed it.

It's pretty much the same thing that happened to Google at I/O, including the same general solution and audience reaction... The real difference is Google should have known better than to use wireless keyboards in that sort of situation.

I am in exactly that situation. It would probably help, but everyone "over there" is in an open plan office. It's great idea, though.

Recursion is also what the "exam" asked for, so I imagine you'd be dinged a bit for not using it.

I've seen a couple of my favorite sites turn off full feeds, and the results always seems to be the same for me. I visit the site less often when I don't get enough information to draw me in. It doesn't have to be the full content of the

Thanks - that's a bit better of a teaser. I'm happy to see mine isn't red, but it's pretty tightly clumped in the main group of solutions. That's not really surprising as it's not that far off from your reference solution, which seems to

Like the grandparent, I do the same. I have the copy routine also copy over the final 0. If you pass in 0 as the character to remove, it still works fine. Nothing is shifted, so the final 0 is copied and the string remains null terminated

The solution in the link only uses pointers to the string. "In place" as I understood it means not allocating additional memory for the string. His code does that, but it does need two pointers (the one passed in, and the one created to k

I haven't touched C in quite a number of years, so I was happy I got something working in pretty quick order that matched my initial brain-boarded algorithm. Years of Java apparently can't wash away C. As in the article, I started simple a

The closest I've seen is a minimum term for sign-on bonus, school reimbursement, or moving bonus. Work less than X months and you owe the company back either. But just minimum employment term for start-up training? Training new employees
