Not to sound too much like an Amazon product page, but if you like this, you'll probably quite like "Unix for Poets" - http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~padro/Unixforpoets.pdf . It's my favourite 'intro&

Good question -- it's hard! It is partially up to the moderator, but their job is more on the side preventing people from hogging the conversation, i.e. giving the opportunity for everyone to say something. Naturally we encourage every

It is a problem indeed. We found the best solution to #2 is to avoid any massively niche topics. For example, "has anyone used <specific Python library>" isn't great for a group conversation: it instantly excludes peopl

Was not meaning my comment as a slight to you at all, it's a very cool app you've got here. Best of luck with it!

Neat! From their JS: readinglvl = getReadingLevel(paragraphs, sentences, words, chars); [..] function getReadingLevel (p, s, w, c) { var r = Math.round((4.75 * (c / w)) + (0.5 * (w / s)) - 21.43); return r; }

For a site that's (apparently) hosting an article about a security vulnerability, they _really_ need to turn debug mode off. For those wondering what I'm on about when the site starts functioning again, I got an error page akin to

Agree that lxml is certainly quite large and batteries-included, but I've always found I can do pretty much everything I want to just using a few select methods, namely etree and xpath. E.g. for extracting URLs from a sitemap: fr

Cool, although LXML (mature, fast, reliable, generally awesome) can do this (and more): http://lxml.de/FAQ.html#how-can-i-map-an-xml-tree-into-a-dic... It also has the 'objectify' API, where you can access XML n

I actually was about to post this -- this guide is great. As an undergraduate, this was what was given to us to help demonstrate above-introductory command line tools/pipes.

This isn't the best solution. Instead do as others have suggested and make a subdirectory of your project the webserver root. This solutions just stops nginx (/whatever web server you're using) from displaying the file. If so

While I'm aware this isn't the actual topic, this is just a warning to not take this thread as a accurate representation of how useful "Who's Hiring" threads really are (e.g. as compared to a recruiters/job site/googling). I say this becaus

It's not a keyfob, it's built into the card itself. The security measures are pretty good actually: - Can't pay for things costing more than £20 via contactless (have to use chip and pin, the 'normal'/old method) - After a certain number of

This is almost entirely FUD, and 'the card readers rarely function adequately if at all' is just plain untrue. What makes you say the readers don't work? Personal experience? I've seen a broken screen on a contactless reader once, however I

Lovely subtext in the last section. Good on you guys for not rising to Jeff's stubborn/dismissive attitude.

If this was part of a DNS Amplification DDoS, the source address is spoofed, and is in fact the target of the DDoS attack.

I've been considering trying HFT myself for a while. I'm competent with Machine Learning and am a Software Developer by day, so I can program and can sysadmin well enough to get something up and running without any trouble at all. But, ever

First impressions upon landing: I have no idea what this site is. The 'about us' link in the bottom left is hidden enough to make it annoying (if this wasn't from HN, I probably would have closed the tab). When I do visit the 'About' page,

This is not 'hacking' the application process in the slightest. You prepared yourselves well; there's a difference. But then again, the title got you on the frontpage of HN, which was almost certainly the goal.

There's an error in his first 'Function Invocation' example, the answer is 500, not 501. [Reason: 'this.value++;' in the method invocation refers to obj.value, since 'this' is bound to 'obj'. Only in the innerFunction function invocation do

Weeeelll: 1) As others have pointed out, the separate release of code/writeup. I wager that most people really just want to see the code. Why bother doing both? If it's just to attract attention, that's a reasonably valid reason -- but it p

The way the site is run really lets the contest down.

A 'gallery' would be much more useful, showing the same screenshot(s) in multiple themes, rather than having to look at each one individually.
