In many places the vocal minority controls the media. I guess this popularity issue is not a Asian thing only. A significant large number of silent people in Germany I assume is su…

I guess that might have to do with load these search engines generate. Previosly in a thread we checked that comments posted in HN appear in google search after a minute of posting…

For offline version I had been using this application for some time now... WebKit HTML to PDF http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/ This is a PDF generator which uses WebKit engine…

I am still waiting for node.js for windows.

I don't know. I read the original article and felt he was talking about building numerous cheap apps and selling those to get rich quick instead of building a single one and hoppin…

Here is a step by step comparison on how cutting off ruby's features can make the JRuby implementation faster, from the guy who worked on JRuby. http://blog.headius.com/2009/04/how…

It's bad that you can't copy your PDFs into iPhone and read those later. Not unless it's jail broken. iPhone can render PDF, but only when the file is sent as mail attachment or do…

Exactly for this reason I found myself writing assembly again: Invoke C functions from a scripting language. The last I wrote was probably 15 years back.

If we look back at human history and extrapolate that trend, 500 years on we could be worse off than what we are now in technology. Civilizations no matter how strong they look, ha…

5. The functionality of the docs hasn't kept up with Clojure. 6. Debugging facilities also have not kept up with the state of Clojure. These two are the first thing I check before …

Best advice of this century in it's class. I don't know why we are still wasting our time with calculus while I see a lot of people suffering in their daily life because of their l…

I am still using TextPad which I started using since 90s. But wish I could jump to something better. TextPad is now dead with no update for, what 6 years? No v.5 doesn't count as u…

Probably first time I am seeing a micro-optimization having some really significant impact on a micro-benchmark test.
