OneOneOneOne··on The Best and Worst Places to Grow Up in the U.S.
Privacy.

Wow! This is a real sleeper. You risk unknowingly revealing your location when commenting on this type of story.

OneOneOneOne··on JILA Strontium Atomic Clock Sets New Records
That's awesome. How big is this clock? Depending on size there are so many applications.

(I wonder how they determine accuracy?)

OneOneOneOne··on The Steady Rise of Bike Ridership in New York
I wish this were an option in more places. My daily commute is too dangerous for a bike (narrow 55mph road with bridge crossings).
OneOneOneOne··on BARF – A Binary Analysis and Reverse Engineering Framework
I work in and around embedded software. Custom API's and internal dumps often contain custom binary formats.

A tool that interactively generates a parser for these would be great.

OneOneOneOne··on BARF – A Binary Analysis and Reverse Engineering Framework
"Not in here mister! This is a Mercedes!"

Can anyone recommend a good tool for exploring and decoding other binary formats? I am interested in analysis of non-code binary data.

OneOneOneOne··on Ask HN: How do you deal with professional jealousy and getting older?
Stop beating yourself up and start working as you have wished. Work when it is time to work but don't forget to live. You will never get that time back but are still young.

Don't be afraid to fail. Push ahead and you'll see failure is temporary.

OneOneOneOne··on Early Posts From Tech Founders Who Changed The World
I want to highlight the crowd pleasing "Options for new window per document (aka TurboGopher interface) -- always, or via middle mouse button."

Seriously though, it is easy to see why Marc has done so well.

OneOneOneOne··on 16 TB and 20,000 IOPS EBS Volumes
How do they define 20000 IOPS?
OneOneOneOne··on Keeping Your Hair in Chemo
I think this is well worth the cost. Watching someone you love dealing with hair loss on top of chemo is just heart breaking.
OneOneOneOne··on Tardigrades are so tough, they can survive outer space
How do these critters handle bleach?
OneOneOneOne··on NEO GEO: Open source development kit
Another reason to stop dragging my feet and buy Unibios!
OneOneOneOne··on NEO GEO: Open source development kit
Does anyone sell an MVS flash card? It would be fun to play with this on my single slot.
OneOneOneOne··on Very Low Vaccination Rates at Silicon Valley Daycares
I wonder if the reported numbers are inaccurate. Some families may withhold immunization records for privacy where possible. Oracle may have a stricter policy regarding immunization.
OneOneOneOne··on Restoring the Old Way of Warming: Heating People, Not Places
This sounds like a good idea until mold starts growing in your house.

Back in the day the houses were not insulated as tightly and people did not shower every day.

OneOneOneOne··on Layoff Underway at IBM
I wonder if there isn't ageism inherent in technology. I mean old tech retains old employees. The old companies and old divisions go down when new tech wins.
OneOneOneOne··on Electric scooter design that makes a hole lot of sense
Good point. In Vietnam I witnessed a family of four riding a single scooter. Baby brother was standing on the seat between mom and big sister!
OneOneOneOne··on Bootstrapping overseas as an American
What do people do for health insurance in this situation? Or is it a don't get sick or hurt kind of deal?
OneOneOneOne··on Awk in 20 Minutes
AWK is very easy for C programmers to learn.

You can also try 'info gawk' from the Unix or Cygwin prompt for a good tutorial.

OneOneOneOne··on What Every C Programmer Should Know About Undefined Behavior (2011)
Good point. Some embedded environments will have different behavior. I don't recall what happened under MS DOS or if MS compiler provided an debug option.
OneOneOneOne··on Ask HN: What should I do? Help. Something
Talk it over with someone who knows you well. I don't think an online forum is this best place for this kind of thing.
OneOneOneOne··on Why Free Online Classes Are Still the Future of Education
All good points though I think the last regarding licensing is debatable. I am not certain these courses would exist at all if it were not for a profit motive.

MOOCs like Udacity and Coursera have a fair amount of funding...

OneOneOneOne··on Germany Fights Population Drop
I think a number of these countries practice polygamy widely. Polygamous societies tend to have a higher birthrate.
OneOneOneOne··on Useful Unix commands for exploring data
awk / gawk is super useful. For C/C++ programmers the language is very easy to learn. Try running "info gawk" for a very good guide.

I've used gawk for many things ranging from data analysis to generate linker / loader code in an embedded build environment for a custom processor / sequencer.

(You can even find a version to run from the Windows command prompt if you don't have Cygwin.)

OneOneOneOne··on Harley-Davidson announces its first electric motorcycle
Scooters and some motorcycles have automatic transmission. Most motorcycles have ample acceleration.

Apart from styling and green aspects I think they would want to focus on low maintenance benefit. Most electric will lack in power, weight and range compared to ICE.

OneOneOneOne··on Neelie Kroes responds to taxi protests in Europe
I think most respondents are missing your point. At heart this is not about Uber or disrupting technologies.
OneOneOneOne··on Online Color Challenge
Is using an LCD monitor "cheating?"

I got a perfect score but am neither artistic nor fashionable.

OneOneOneOne··on Typography in 8 bits: System fonts (2011)
So much nostalgia. It's funny but looking at these fonts reminds me of the good times programming these machines.
OneOneOneOne··on How I Feel as Young Father Involved in Early-stage Startup
Here is a calculation that might put things in perspective...

Your age + 25

This is how old you will be when a kid born this year graduates from college (typical undergrad.)

If you are waiting to have kids add those years to your age.

OneOneOneOne··on 2048 game to the Atari 2600 VCS
It would have been wonderful if this had been released back in the day.
OneOneOneOne··on 2048 in bash
bash? Why not sed? :)
