ebtalley··on Twitter helps free kidnapped South African from trunk of his car
same here, pretty odd. I view arstechnica directly on a regular basis.
ebtalley··on What are the lesser known but cool data structures?
As someone who dabbled in SO I quickly became disillusioned with the site after I posted a question on LaTeX and quickly had it closed and then was shuttled over to the "new" LaTeX site. IMHO, If the question doesn't fit the current policy don't make the submitter waste his time posting the same material on 5 different SO sites in order to get a hit. Find a way to transfer it where the conversation can continue to flourish.
ebtalley··on Jellyfish Simulation using Javascript, WebGL
My first thought was rate limiting, I tweaked the settings for speed and still capped out at 50fps.
ebtalley··on Show HN: I made a better interface for Google Tasks and I can't go back
question, how did you grab the session and display tasks without authenticating through OAuth or whatever method google provides? Granted I'm logged into gmail but I'm somewhat goosed since it seems your third party domain can pull private data from my account without my explicit permission?
ebtalley··on Why Are Vendors Annoyed by this IAP Thing?
whats the deal with all the dashes in the content? made it nigh unreadable.
ebtalley··on Oracle discontinues Ruby/Rails support for NetBeans
Look at what kind of headway corporations like google have made in the mind of consumers when they go above and beyond the shareholder mantra. Oracle might make short term gains on their terms but they have started to poison a whole new generation of developers.
ebtalley··on Finally, a Real Creator is Person of the Year
Agreed, thats the first fallacy that caught my eye as well. They have a long way to go before anyone even remotely trusts them as a corporate entity.
ebtalley··on Google Body Browser
nm, restart had not completed to update from version 7 to version 9.
ebtalley··on Google Body Browser
Windows 7 Google Chrome beta.. check AMD 6 core.. check GeForce 210.. check

Im getting: To use Body Browser, you'll need a Web browser with WebGL support.

what am I missing?

ebtalley··on Linode giving $100 credit to first 1,000 new customers to sign up this Friday
Ohohohohoh merry Christmas to me. I am so jumping on that, luckily its my company that bought the existing accounts. 44:40:01, 44:40:00, 44:39:59
ebtalley··on The ASF Resigns From the JCP Executive Committee
Uninformed question: How does this affect Apache projects and their further development?
ebtalley··on Nexus S
Oh yeah, the battery on my EVO doesn't last much more than a couple hours. Even sitting overnight will drain the battery 30% it seems. Even with that its such a better phone than any other I have used on sprint.
ebtalley··on Close the Washington Monument
That was a well written op-ed
ebtalley··on DIY Arduino Water Meter
I thought about this as well but I was thinking about tapping into the mainline to the house as well. Any ideas about the feasibility of measuring at that point? (Would be helpful for catching slow leaks, garden applications etc.)
ebtalley··on HML = Hanna Montana Linux Distro
I contemplated loading it for my daughter for a second... naw
ebtalley··on Canonical, Ltd. On Record: Seeking Open Core
Things like not being able to delete files out of your trash because the permissions are set such that you need to sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/
ebtalley··on Canonical, Ltd. On Record: Seeking Open Core
Ubuntu is polished to a point, kind of like a ball of mud can be polished to a high sheen. There "are" issues that continue to plague Linux in the Desktop department. To say that Ubuntu is polished enough for grandma to really interact with the machine without root is silly IMHO.
ebtalley··on Why can you turn clothing right-side-out?
point in case, I got chided for posting a tex question on se instead of tex.se. Silly but that one irked me, tex looks a lot like code to me. On the other hand I did get prompt replies.
ebtalley··on Ladies, look at your code. Now back to mine.
Im on a horse. Freaking awesome.
ebtalley··on Howfuckedismydatabase
wait for it, wait for it.

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005' Table 'tblTable' is exclusively locked by user 'Admin' on machine 'MyMachine'.

Ahhh there it is..

ebtalley··on SplashID crypto fail
egad
ebtalley··on Convert your emails to actions in one click
The page looked pretty good in chrome which had me thinking about what it would look like in IE8. Big Surprise, not so good. Depending on your market you might want to add some IE aware CSS.
ebtalley··on Numpy announces Python 3 support (Scipy news included)
I can sympathize but I also see those with a need for the stability that comes with long term support. Django has reached a level of acceptance like Debian, or CentOS where intensive refactors are unacceptable. Maybe it's up to someone else to fork Django.
ebtalley··on Large Problems in Django, Mostly Solved: Delayed Execution
It's a little off topic but I would like to take a moment and profess how much I LOVE the fact that hacker news has so many articles on all languages, popular or not.
ebtalley··on Eclipse 3.6 Helios is here
True, I meant compatibility with the existing plugins out there though, Maven, Subversion, PDT+debugger, PyDev, etc. Should have been clearer on that point.
ebtalley··on Eclipse 3.6 Helios is here
Has anyone had any issues switching? I just got galileo up and running to my specs. I would hate to change environments for memory benefits and then get bogged down in version minutia.
ebtalley··on My Four-Year-Old Son Plays Grand Theft Auto
and its a lot easier to express criminal behavior within the game without any repercussion, coupling that with a young mind that hasn't grown the mental aptitude to distinguish could lead to some ugly mishap's. We have a separate child's court for all of the above reasons.
ebtalley··on The Hacker News Experiment
+5, and make it plug and play with Spring/Hibernate.
ebtalley··on Ask HN: Average coder at dead-end. What now?
I just got thrown the FizzBuzz test a couple days ago. First time I had ever seen it. Startled me that everyone else knows what it is too! I don't know if it would be blindingly obvious without the mod operator.
ebtalley··on ask HN: Where to start with J2EE?
just got hibernate to compile and post for the first time, pretty! :)
