    This is actually one of the nice features about OCaml that comes in handy when you have a function that takes two arguments of the same type but don't necessarily need to make a wh…

    ReasonML is also a strong contender. Facebook's Messenger website is written in ReasonML [0] and compiling ReasonML for server work is pretty good. You can share a lot between the …

    Hi, I'm actually one of the people who wrote this. That's exactly correct.

    I'm one of the people who made this. This was actually a hackathon project so we didn't use the analog input and instead faked the keyboard presses to the emulator.

    This is very similar to something I've been looking to find for a while. I have a large screen in my living room and I would love to stream/view 1080p video from scenic locations (…

    This is actually my experience as well. I've stayed in Airbnb ~5 times and had 3 of them be awful. 2 of those 3 just didn't have apartments for us when we showed up and the last on…

    Thanks for the suggestions, I didn't think about flipping the text for that half of the chart but that's a good idea. I'm not sure about the blank label but I'll look into that.

    Hi, I'm one of the people who worked on some of the data visualization for this story. The people behind this worked very hard and did an excellent job. I would also like to point …

    This is very interesting. This is actually an area that I spent great deal of time doing academic research in and I even looked into building something very similar to this. While …

    The primary example that he might be referring to is this one [1]. It's someone reporting on their experience connecting to an ethernet port in his tesla and getting a call from Te…

    I would guess you are correct about how they make sure your hands are on the wheel. I've done some car hacking and one of the things that surprised me was how sensitive some cars s…

    It's actually just a wireless network that you connect to and send commands to the Parrot. It makes it really easy to control it from your laptop. There is a library for it that ma…

    One of the hardest problems with this would be getting connections to customers. I wonder how effective wireless connections could be. I know of a couple companies that do it for w…

    I actually just implemented some thing very similar to this. You probably want to checkout Dashing [1] which has built in plugins for a lot of things already. It's pretty easy to w…

    Also, if you send a large amount of data to the echo server, the server crashes. This is due to how data is read off the wire into a buffer. A suggestion is to use a fixed size buf…

    The author also worked on a deep space simulator [1] which has been on hacker news [2] before. Another very interesting simulation. [1] ( https://github.com/simonswain/deepspace ) …

    An interesting thought would be using a bloom filter to store certificate fingerprints. It would prevent someone from getting a list of all the websites/certificates a user has see…

    I'd be curious to look into this further. We use the ELK stack for SSH honeypots and have had traffic spikes of 10,000 login attempts in 10 minutes. All this is processed one a sin…

    It's a rather famous quote from Chief Justice John Marshall for context.

    The broadcast and traditional news of News Corporation split into two different companies back in 2013. Murdoch still owns significant parts of both new companies however.

    The editorials are really heavy handed about that, however I've never thought that the news was any more influenced then any other news source.
