Isn't reddit's code open source? https://github.com/reddit/reddit Or are there parts (like the spam detection algorithm) that are kept secret?
It would be great to see a heatmap of all the tweets that they've collected since November 1st. The real-time thing is pretty cool, but I think it would be interesting to see the most active locations from the last few…
Get ready for animated banner ads on your iPad... Seriously though this looks like an amazing piece of software that will finally bring the full power of CSS3 animations to a much broader range of designers.
I cannot agree with this advice enough. Working for a startup, even as a summer intern, will give you a much clearer idea of what it actually means to run a company than reading HN every day. You may even realize it's…
I know plenty of entries from the Node Knockout competition that fit this description perfectly. I wonder if Mozilla was inspired by what they saw at Node Knockout to put this on? There were a bunch of high-profile…
A good place to start is http://html5boilerplate.com/. This provides a good starting point and includes the modernizr library by default, which makes it very easy to check for compatibility with HTML5 features like…
Thanks for all the feedback. This was my entry in the Node knockout competition, along with @ollerac and @steadicat. This app was built using the awesome sockets.io library which made it simple to send realtime messages…
I think that this just the beginning for Teevox. When I met the founders last spring they were showing off a prototype iPad app that was sort of like a live newsfeed for television. As you watched a show it would pop up…
Or even better, change the default IP address for the admin login. This attack relies on a bunch of hidden iframes loading IPs that are common default addresses of the admin login page.
Did anyone else think it was strange that this article didn't even mention the importance of dark matter to the formation of galaxies? Without the enormous quantity of dark matter that gravitationally binds our galaxy…
db.get('flights', 'KLM-5034')(function(flight, meta) { ... }); Is this a typo? Shouldn't it be: db.get('flights', 'KLM-5034', function(flight, meta) { ... });
How about: "I gave my kid Harry Potter 5 MARSHALLED! I've never seen a kid deserialize that fast!"
Someone needs to prove that P != NP. Want to understand why that's important? Read this: http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2009/9/38904-the-status-of-the...
This site looks like a great reference, but coming to git from subversion I found this page[1] to be clear and concise, and gave me enough understanding to start playing with git right away.…
Am I the only one who read the heading on the actual page as 'Girculate'? That arrow on the end of the C is a little confusing.
Why rely on HN's anecdotal advice when you can use scientific evidence? http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/play/snake-oil-supplem...
Zed Shaw explained this very well in a post about why there's no real startup culture in NYC (yet): http://zedshaw.com/blog/2010-01-19.html It's true though. The financial industry controls an incredible amount of…
Really great explanation of the code... almost made me get out my linear algebra textbook. But seriously, anyone who actually juggles could tell you that the person you rendered isn't doing it right. The balls should…
Finally! It looks like someone actually did some simple math to determine if their results were statistically meaningful. I wish more people would include a section like this when they talk about conversion rates.
Wait, no Heroku? It should definitely be listed in the Price-Scalable Hosting section. Like AppEngine it's also free starting out, and super easy to scale. Plus it's all rails, so you don't even have to learn any App…
I think it's interesting to see the different approaches used by jQuery and YUI. Plus if you know jQuery, you can get a good sense of YUI's style just by going down the list and comparing syntax. This also pointed out a…
How is one supposed to run any sort of machine learning algorithm with only two seasons of data? I could understand throwing the stats from the last 15-20 seasons into Weka and seeing what it said about 2010, but…
I agree. You would think that they would realize how important a well-designed and attractive website would be to their target audience.
This post might have some merit if the graph included another 10 years of data showing the return on his investment.
This seems to me like a classic case of a company buying another company just for it's patents. I'd be willing to bet that the main reason Google is buying Etherpad is their synchronization patent and any other patents…
