Isn't reddit's code open source? https://github.com/reddit/reddit Or are there parts (like the spam detection algorithm) that are kept secret?

It would be great to see a heatmap of all the tweets that they've collected since November 1st. The real-time thing is pretty cool, but I think it would be interesting to see the m…

"A few companies (such as ScanScout) were acquired by other private companies, so I include those in the "still alive and doing well" category, since it was not an exit from the in…

Get ready for animated banner ads on your iPad... Seriously though this looks like an amazing piece of software that will finally bring the full power of CSS3 animations to a much …

I cannot agree with this advice enough. Working for a startup, even as a summer intern, will give you a much clearer idea of what it actually means to run a company than reading HN…

I know plenty of entries from the Node Knockout competition that fit this description perfectly. I wonder if Mozilla was inspired by what they saw at Node Knockout to put this on? …

A good place to start is http://html5boilerplate.com/ . This provides a good starting point and includes the modernizr library by default, which makes it very easy to check for com…

Thanks for all the feedback. This was my entry in the Node knockout competition, along with @ollerac and @steadicat. This app was built using the awesome sockets.io library which m…

I think that this just the beginning for Teevox. When I met the founders last spring they were showing off a prototype iPad app that was sort of like a live newsfeed for television…

Or even better, change the default IP address for the admin login. This attack relies on a bunch of hidden iframes loading IPs that are common default addresses of the admin login …

Did anyone else think it was strange that this article didn't even mention the importance of dark matter to the formation of galaxies? Without the enormous quantity of dark matter …

I think that rather than focusing on coming up with new chemicals to kill bacteria, pharmaceutical companies should work on entirely new ways of fighting bacteria, like genetically…

db.get('flights', 'KLM-5034')(function(flight, meta) { ... }); Is this a typo? Shouldn't it be: db.get('flights', 'KLM-5034', function(flight, meta) { ... });

How about: "I gave my kid Harry Potter 5 MARSHALLED! I've never seen a kid deserialize that fast!"

Someone needs to prove that P != NP. Want to understand why that's important? Read this: http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2009/9/38904-the-status-of-the...

This site looks like a great reference, but coming to git from subversion I found this page[1] to be clear and concise, and gave me enough understanding to start playing with git r…

Am I the only one who read the heading on the actual page as 'Girculate'? That arrow on the end of the C is a little confusing.

Why rely on HN's anecdotal advice when you can use scientific evidence? http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/play/snake-oil-supplem...

Zed Shaw explained this very well in a post about why there's no real startup culture in NYC (yet): http://zedshaw.com/blog/2010-01-19.html It's true though. The financial industry…

Really great explanation of the code... almost made me get out my linear algebra textbook. But seriously, anyone who actually juggles could tell you that the person you rendered is…

Interesting coincidence... I just went to a talk by MIT professor Sherry Turkle where she mentioned that publishers were questioning if the 'longform' of her book (~17,000 words I …

Finally! It looks like someone actually did some simple math to determine if their results were statistically meaningful. I wish more people would include a section like this when …

Wait, no Heroku? It should definitely be listed in the Price-Scalable Hosting section. Like AppEngine it's also free starting out, and super easy to scale. Plus it's all rails, so …

I think it's interesting to see the different approaches used by jQuery and YUI. Plus if you know jQuery, you can get a good sense of YUI's style just by going down the list and co…
