S-expressions are a natural fit for construction of regular expressions, see http://community.schemewiki.org/?scheme-faq-programming#H-1w...

e.g.

  (: (or (in ("az")) (in ("AZ"))) 
    (* (uncase (in ("az09")))))

No, no need to connect HDMI out to anything. I just connect the optical out to my receiver.

I use this HDMI audio extractor to turn a Chromecast into what you describe: http://www.amazon.com/J-Tech-Digital-Premium-Extractor-Conve...

I don't know if it's still the case, but for a long time at Amazon your account identifier was a combination of your email address and password. So you could have two accounts with the same email address and different passwords.

Needless to say, this caused some confusion for users.

Lots of interesting things can be done without root.

The author gives an example where he quits and re-launches Chrome with flag "--disable-web-security" which disables the same-origin policy. He launches Chrome to a webpage which then steals your Gmail session cookies.

Most of the useful things you do on your computer, accessing all of your data, etc. doesn't require root.

I use this system and it has transformed my business and personal life: http://xph.us/2013/01/22/inbox-zero-for-life.html

  >> Uber drivers are independent contractors, 
  >> so they can't form a union, which is why 
  >> they're trying to form an association

Does this mean it's illegal for them to form a union? Why would it be? What prevents them from unionizing?

Someone needs to port a tiling window manager to iOS or Android. On a platform where screen space and user interactions are at a premium, it seems you'd want to minimize the amount of window resizing actions and maximize the usable screen space.

I use XMonad (http://xmonad.org/) on my desktop and love it. My Android tablet (a Nexus 10) is big enough that it needs something like this; would be great to have two or even three windows open at a time.

If you have a Chase account you can afford to walk away from, send them a nastygram threatening to take your business elsewhere.

Buried in the release notes is this gem: reflection via ClassTags wasn't (and still isn't) threadsafe in 2.10; this has been fixed in 2.11 (see http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/reflection/thread-safet...)

Probably not in your geographical area, but we use Scala at Nest! Contact me:

Anyone with experience as a candidate on there want to tell us what it's like?

According to 31 CFR 1022.320 [1], your bank is legally required to report on any transaction that it "knows, suspects, or has reason to suspect ... involves funds derived from illegal activity"

I don't know how the Treasury Department expects my bank to know if transactions involve funds derived from illegal activity, but damn is that creepy.

Seems a bit like a more tailored version of a workflow service e.g. http://aws.amazon.com/swf/

What about rapidly moving an illuminated object? Tiny LED connected to tiny battery?

Not true; they prompt and clearly describe what they will do with your address book during onboarding. Can't find a screenshot of it now, and maybe it has changed since they first launched.

I think hashing is key here. There are 10^10 possible phone numbers (without country code), so approx 34 bits of information to encode the entire phone number space.

If your API accepts a 128-bit hash (pick your favorite) of a phone number and returns the user's username, and is rate-limited, it would be infeasible to brute force the hashed phone number space to produce the data dump. Then, rate limit by account (rather than IP address) and flag accounts accessing this API too frequently or in different patterns than your client uses.

Google's products have been sapping my desire to build things. It used to be that we had to build our own tools to do thing like edit code, send email with a quick workflow, etc. Not so any longer.

I've found a Gmail-based email workflow that work really well for me (and requires no browser extensions or custom code). I now own a Chromecast that allows me to play music and video on my home AV system. It just works, out of the box.

This looks really compelling if I was the kind of hacker that still hacked tools. These days I hack my workflow and use existing tools because they've gotten really good.

The Bitcoin ledger doesn't provide credit. There's nothing stoping someone from offering a credit account (e.g. a consumer credit card) denominated in Bitcoin.

lowglow is Dan Gailey, who runs Techendo.

Are those editorialized links added by Blockchain.info admins, or are they part of the block chain itself? ("gotcha" and "shit load of money!")

If USD/BTC goes slightly above $1,000, it will be profitable to mine on EC2 GPU instances.

edit: Forgot to mention, only profitable with Spot instances which are significantly cheaper than the on-demand rate.

>> We advise mining the block in which you collect your bounty yourself

If you solve one of these, don't send the transaction to a miner for inclusion in the blockchain, or they'll steal your reward!

And they still haven't added anyone with nutritional science credentials to their team:

P/E remains pretty stable at 30-ish

Regarding the transcoding; there must be other costs at play there. Because by my calculation[1], time on your Mac Pro costs £0.67 per second...which seems quite steep.

((3 frames / second) * (1 second / 24 frames) * (600 seconds / £500 ))^-1 = £0.67 per second

Contrary to the article, the AMA on Reddit has not been deleted

I don't understand why I should trust a food product produced by a team[1] that has NO EXPERIENCE WHATSOEVER with nutritional science. And someone please explain why a dietary supplement needs a CTO?
