In Stuttgart they are actually used a lot, though I think they would get used more if the bikes themselves weren't so hideous. In an age where bikes are the new cars, how can they ignore design?

So the MIPS ISA is considered to be 'pure' RISC? My rule of thumb: if something is conceptually "pure" instead of a complicated, carefully balanced mix of grey, its usually not wor…

A.k.a why not just use Shapeways. The level of detail they are capable of is very impressive: http://www.shapeways.com/model/1987984/tribal-voodoo-skull.h... I don't no…

> Default-allow on the consumer routers I remember the time of 56k modems. Port scans were fun back then. Sucked, would not dial-up again. Host based firewalls: for some reason this sends the netwo…

That was my first thought, too - but you'd probably have to specify things like wall materials and thicknesses to get decent results. I'm hoping for precise indoor navigation, Google and App…

Thats a very academic and static view of content - I don't see how that would work in todays hyper-dynamic environment, where the Ads that are displayed on a site are priced by millisecond real-t…

Thanks. So basically we get most of what Java has to offer plus thread mailboxes, which is nice. Not sure what to make of Places though - zeroMQ exists and has Racket bindings, is there something Plac…

Ah, someone with Clojure experience. I wanted Clojure to be my next language to learn, so now I'm curious why you ditched it in favor of Racket? Especially: - Whats the concurrency story for Rack…

So for every class in Java, we just create a corresponding builder class, because we lack certain features in the language? This is not a solution, this is a workaround.

Then I might have misread that, sorry - 2MB would have been really surprising as a default. I fully agree about the auto-tuning!

Slightly OT, but the I/O inflation caused by raising read ahead to 2048K seems to be pretty huge. For a DB server that might only be reading a few K, I can see why it caused an issue. Anybody kno…

This only works well if we get named parameters, too (and maybe defaults). It is too easy to make mistakes with lots of subsequent constructor arguments of the same type.

Not working for me - got a 404 for http://rawgit.com/sahat/satellizer/master/lib/satellizer.js …

I like it too! It sure beats running Javascript or Basic. That said, this board is pretty fast to begin with - 168MHz, so its not like they run this on an Arduino Uno. I have some projects that run of…

I thought this is interesting in light of the recent routing table overload of backbone routers, leading to slow internet connections around the world. Apparently routers have a special memory called …

The best windows UI imho was Win2000. Best UI overall would still be OSX, also imho.

Guess you're right - I shouldn't have posted this on HN.

Or unless they jump from the damn just to be able to ride the tube again. And again. Wheee!

I know people that grew up there. I believe them. Thats all I can say.

In islamic countries with sharia law, nobody steals, since you risk loosing a hand. Not that I recommend that approach, but I'd be careful with such statements.

Here is something: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/41211... Apparently the surgery was unrelated, they found lots of carbon brake dust in hi…

Sure enough, trustleap.ch offers custom crypto, too. Quote: "TrustLeap will protect your data forever [...] we can do so without disclosing how it works." These guys are, in all likelihood,…

Very interesting, and - entertaining. I've had a feeling something was off, looking at the website. If something is too good to be true, it probably is.

If I understood this correctly, the main challenge in nuclear bomb design is to time the conventional explosions in such a way that the resulting blast will compress the nuclear material, achieving cr…

"Open in incognito window" did the trick for me.

I salute you, dmitry. In order to run Linux on an ATmega1284p, that guy: - bit-banged 16MB DRAM - bit-banged SPI Flash - wrote an emulator for a 32Bit ARM & MMU Apparently it takes 4h to but Ubunt…

What was your issue with it? I have a bad sense of orientation, and I thought about building my own version of it, theirs is too large imho. Also, running a motor continually seems like it would drain…
