A game that is popular at my school has these modal ads with a close button that is smaller than you can accurately tap. Every third time it opens I end up in the App Store. It drives me nuts. A confirmation would be nice.

The greatest "feature" of Blogspot. It is the most obnoxious thing on mobile devices.

No, smaller, because you don't need the Go compiler to run it, just to build it. Therefore, you won't need the compiler at all, just the binary.

Somebody rewrote hub in Go a while ago and called it gh. The team behind hub only decided recently to merge in gh and make it the new, GitHub-approved version of hub.

MathJax ( http://www.mathjax.org/ ) will render LaTeX math in the browser. The result is quite pretty.

They have no other choice; Apple won't accept apps with custom web rendering engines.

nano is less confusing than vim, though that is another bad habit to form. I used it for a very long time, but switching to vim has been amazing. I think that -m is probably best for teaching a beginner, though.

I've wondered for a while how they deal with situations like that. For instance, when they implemented stars, there was likely a user named stars, but then they reserved /stars for their new feature, presumably removing that user

Unrelated: Don't factory reset your router. The software to set it up requires you to downgrade to 10.7 or something. It'd be nice if linksys would update their software, or at least remove the version cap.

I wonder how many of the cheap web hosts will impelent this. I think the increased hosting cost on top of the certificate itself also discourages people from using TLS. Wishful thinking, perhaps...

Where I live, elementary starts at 8, middle starts at 9, and high school starts at the wonderful time of 7:30. The transition from middle school to high school was especially painful. I wish we used the times your district used; they make

I'm sure my math teacher would love me playing this in class. It's amazing what you can do with just a calculator.

I don't understand how copyright would help in this case.

Fermat's last theorem has been proven; there is no solution, people. In this case, you can't verify this using "any old calculator," as most show only ten digits and these diverge at digit 12.

Any podcast recommendations for the HN crowd? I personally listen to Hello Internet (CGP Grey and Brady Haran) and Still Untitled: The Adam Savage Project (Adam Savage and friends).

Couldn't you generate a UUID and then check the database that it is unique before using it? You could then repeat until you got a unique identifier.

The Florida standardized math tests and the SAT have fill-in math questions as well as multiple choice. Teachers themselves can choose whether the students must show their work for their tests. In my experience, most only check the answer,

This is not the first library I've seen like that. I'm curious, though. Do any apps actually use logging this extensively? The telnet certainly seems a bit over the top.

by JoshTheGeek 12y ago
Agreed. Tampa, Orlando, and the other big cities are like any others. In the middle of the state or the Everglades, though, you can go miles without even a turnoff.

Fun fact: Mojang bought Bukkit. (@jeb_ tweeted the other day. This notice states that bukkit uses Minecraft's code without permission, and it did at one point. Now, though, as Mojang owns both, I think it should be allowed. Oh, and a M

Nothing has changed, this is how Apple's 2FA still works. It's relevant because this is how the celebrity hacking happened this weekend: their passwords were brute forced, and they didn't need to break the 2FA as well because

Kill the pane (prefix x) and then run `reset`, maybe?
