I was surprised at the early failures of my Sylvania bulbs. Had expected that going with a brand that has been in the light bulb industry for a long time, I would get decent quality, but they've all died in under a year. Now IKEA bulbs

I had some complex JS plotting to do as part of a client project, with axis navigation, color changes, discontinuous lines on time-axis scatter plots, custom markers, and custom gridlines. I scrapped my initial approach and switched to High

Backed! I hadn't heard about this Kickstarter campaign, thanks for posting. Magit is such a great tool that I think it's worth learning emacs for, even if you just use emacs for revision control and spend the rest of your time wor

There might be insight to be gleamed from a better dataset than public repos on github. It's a big leap to make inferences about the use of Django in the wild from this.

Oh my, X%! Did the upvoters see the many placeholders in the article or were they asked to vote by someone?

This is an interesting problem. I'm trying to visualize this and I must be thinking about the problem incorrectly; perhaps you can help me wrap my head around it. Since the pieces fall onto the faster conveyor belt with random spacing,

No, the Gates Foundation just has open access requirements. Sorry Nature and Science. I hope this sets the stage for all grant funding sources to institute similar requirements, and we'll get even more absurd clickbait headlines as a r

They've built some lunar rovers though. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Roving_Vehicle (Not that it proves anything, ask Harrison Schmitt about the fenders)

Find a study and sign up. Look for research groups in your local institutions and send an email to a couple grad students asking about studies they or their colleagues are running in the near future. A researcher may give you the scan if yo

With news of Intel's acquisition of Altera, I thought HN would enjoy this excellent lecture on the use of reconfigurable architectures for the next step in improving computing efficiency. I watch this every couple of years and consiste

You hypothesized about tissue damage from ultrasonic excitation, so this tangential post may be of interest. Tissue damage from ultrasound is an intentionally-caused phenomenon being used (and experimented with) in some non-invasive medical

I'm not a runner, but I know many. Training for a marathon involves running fast, and it involves running far, but typically not at the same time. I don't know anyone who runs a marathon distance in order to train for a marathon,

This is an interesting analysis of available data for runners and record-breakers, outlining what will have to happen to break the two-hour mark for marathon times. Dennis Kimetto set the marathon record this year at 2:02:57. Cue complaints

My thought after reading this—a great product would be an actual analog watch (quartz or mechanical) with the same styling and finishes that the Apple Watch has, with a much thinner case, that customers would use with Apple's bands. Ta

Backed. There's some negativity floating around here with regards to the video, but I'm glad I watched it before reading the comments. The video clearly shows what Craig has in mind for this tool, and the music gives some characte

Nice game! As it stands, later 'enemies' appear higher than more recent (and therefore more imminent) ones. The downside is that you sometimes can't read a number properly because it's occluded—with that font, the bottom

I needed Premiere for a short project, so the Creative Cloud business model was great for me. I was prepared to spend a couple of bucks to use this software for a month, but they actually give you an automatic first month free. I don't

Interesting stuff. Do you have any insights as to why swipes with very long displacements tend to be slower than medium-length swipes?

The smart watch as an output device is pretty obvious, but this is really interesting tech to make it a viable input device as well. The Minuum team made a really impressive IndieGoGo video a while back[1], they quickly got the Android vers
