This is actually one of the nice features about OCaml that comes in handy when you have a function that takes two arguments of the same type but don't necessarily need to make a whole new type for each of them. They are called Labelled

ReasonML is also a strong contender. Facebook's Messenger website is written in ReasonML [0] and compiling ReasonML for server work is pretty good. You can share a lot between the two codebases. People even write desktop applications u

Hi, I'm actually one of the people who wrote this. That's exactly correct.

I'm one of the people who made this. This was actually a hackathon project so we didn't use the analog input and instead faked the keyboard presses to the emulator.

This is very similar to something I've been looking to find for a while. I have a large screen in my living room and I would love to stream/view 1080p video from scenic locations (top of a mountain, overlooking plains, a beach). I

This is actually my experience as well. I've stayed in Airbnb ~5 times and had 3 of them be awful. 2 of those 3 just didn't have apartments for us when we showed up and the last one had the power/water get cut for not paying

Thanks for the suggestions, I didn't think about flipping the text for that half of the chart but that's a good idea. I'm not sure about the blank label but I'll look into that.

Hi, I'm one of the people who worked on some of the data visualization for this story. The people behind this worked very hard and did an excellent job. I would also like to point out, this is why police transparency is very important

This is very interesting. This is actually an area that I spent great deal of time doing academic research in and I even looked into building something very similar to this. While it's possible in some sense, I'm not sure the tech

The primary example that he might be referring to is this one [1]. It's someone reporting on their experience connecting to an ethernet port in his tesla and getting a call from Tesla to please stop. http://jalopnik.com&#x2F

I would guess you are correct about how they make sure your hands are on the wheel. I've done some car hacking and one of the things that surprised me was how sensitive some cars steering wheels are to pressure. It was impossible to ke

It's actually just a wireless network that you connect to and send commands to the Parrot. It makes it really easy to control it from your laptop. There is a library for it that makes it possible to be up and running in under 5 minutes

One of the hardest problems with this would be getting connections to customers. I wonder how effective wireless connections could be. I know of a couple companies that do it for whole apartment buildings but I've never heard of it for

I actually just implemented some thing very similar to this. You probably want to checkout Dashing [1] which has built in plugins for a lot of things already. It's pretty easy to work with as well. [1] https://shopify.github

Also, if you send a large amount of data to the echo server, the server crashes. This is due to how data is read off the wire into a buffer. A suggestion is to use a fixed size buffer. I did test this earlier and I'm sorry that I cra

The author also worked on a deep space simulator [1] which has been on hacker news [2] before. Another very interesting simulation. [1] ( https://github.com/simonswain/deepspace ) [2] ( https://news.ycombinator

An interesting thought would be using a bloom filter to store certificate fingerprints. It would prevent someone from getting a list of all the websites/certificates a user has seen. However the significant downside is that a certifica

I'd be curious to look into this further. We use the ELK stack for SSH honeypots and have had traffic spikes of 10,000 login attempts in 10 minutes. All this is processed one a single server with a single cpu and 16GB of ram. How big w

It's a rather famous quote from Chief Justice John Marshall for context.

The broadcast and traditional news of News Corporation split into two different companies back in 2013. Murdoch still owns significant parts of both new companies however.

The editorials are really heavy handed about that, however I've never thought that the news was any more influenced then any other news source.

Why do you say that the WSJ is the Fox News of journalism? They have articles that aren't great but for the most part have high quality content.

It's interesting the attention that passive wifi tracking is receiving. Another person and I actually wrote software a client to install on raspberry pi's and a server to store all the results. We deployed this on our college camp

I don't think they are getting sued for automating get requests. Most of the problem here seems to be the excessive number of requests that made the scraping effectively be a DOS attack.

I actually disagree. Once you give equity, you are stuck for better or worse. Make sure you have a vesting schedule in place and pay more salary and keep as much equity as you possible can.

I guess that I am still skeptical of Product Hunt. I don't get the appeal at all, I'm looking to spend money on less things or reduce the complexity in my life. The other thing that most people seem to dislike about Product Hunt i
