    Then tell your customers that your product won’t be supported on their shiny Apple hardware and ask them to buy another hardware from a different manufacturer.

    Sorry, I should have clarified. I'm not against using QR codes. I just didn't realize that I could close the modal window, and thought that I had to jump through hoops to try out S…

    Nice! A few years ago, there was an HN post about a similar algorithm: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4912964 Inspired by this, I wrote my own implementation in Perl: http://…

    Not being a web developer, I don't see any mention of Node, which makes me curious. Is Node not a good option?

    I believe that these days unused CPU cores are physically shut down by turning off the voltage supply that's feeding them, in order to save power. This is a commonly used technique…

    Great job. I have my own mongodb of the games/scores that I update manually (not in real time though). I would love to see something automated like this for the major leagues (La L…

    Microsoft sticking to Tegra is an interesting choice. I'm not saying it's bad, but still interesting given the current dynamics of the mobile market. Now that they have Nokia, I pr…

    To be fair, NVIDIA tried to sell a couple of products directly to end consumers before. For example they sold a dual tv tuner card a few years ago ( http://www.nvidia.com/page/dual…
