Great news, though the headline is kind of weird. GPS-only RNAV STARs (Standard Terminal Arrival Routes) have been in use for some time. The "next gen" technologies referred to in the article involve a lot more than just GPS improvements (s

Retail political and topographic maps are a relatively small part of the work load of most cartographic studios. Forestry and petroleum exploration require constant updating and presentation techniques. Precipitation and drainage maps are e

Heh. Turns out Benchmark and Raven maps use the same studio to produce their maps. http://www.allancartography.com/

What do you think of Raven Maps? Their state maps are more topographic but offer excellent detail. http://www.ravenmaps.com/

As a high school student in 1988, I interviewed with Bob's previous company, Parsons Technology, for an after-school customer support position. At that time Parsons Technology was known primarily as the publisher of a personal finance progr

If you're into manual monitoring like this, check out https://github.com/hcooper/sarplot Its only dependency (beyond enabling sar) is gnuplot.

Is there any way to implement these memorial black bars in a way that doesn't break the mobile HN apps? I assume they're scraping.

Wow. Thanks for the Reaper tip. Very impressive effort there, and for $60... Nuts!

An obituary for Dennis Ritchie in The New York Times isn't written for people like you or me. In addition to hacking, I love flying and aviation -- another area of science and technology totally distorted by the media every time there's an

I'm asking as a potential user of Pinboard because I don't care much for the new Delicious. How was that confusing?

by brndnhy 15y ago
Does Pinboard show you how many others bookmarked the same link, including the usernames? It's nice when a bookmarking service can be a discovery tool itself.

Yeah, that's true. But my environment is such that any one of 100 or so app servers has a significantly lower chance of running out of memory than the Redis server does. The 0MQ high water mark is set high enough so that it's virtually imp

Good example of a real situation you always end up facing at some point. Why I use ZeroMQ when logging or queueing with Redis.

The Greenhopper acquisition was pretty slick. What used to be (I think) a $700 plugin now adds $2,000 to the annual maintenance cost of JIRA.

Once the fruits of someone else's labor is a concern, you've lost. Stay interested and keep working hard. We're people who build things. Our fortune is a natural one -- not money and not even respect. It's that we are getting paid to learn
