Not to sound too much like an Amazon product page, but if you like this, you'll probably quite like "Unix for Poets" - http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~padro/Unixforpoets.pdf . It's my favo…

Thanks! Beat me to it :).

The next Many to Many is on the 28th of May. Many to Many is a slightly different type of tech event. Instead of the traditional 'one person talks to audience' format, Many to Many…

Good question -- it's hard! It is partially up to the moderator, but their job is more on the side preventing people from hogging the conversation, i.e. giving the opportunity for …

It is a problem indeed. We found the best solution to #2 is to avoid any massively niche topics. For example, "has anyone used " isn't great for a group conversation: it instantly …

We love tech events. But often the one-to-many talk format is a bit hit and miss. Sometimes you learn lots of wonderful new things, but frequently the talks are too long and of que…

Was not meaning my comment as a slight to you at all, it's a very cool app you've got here. Best of luck with it!

Neat! From their JS: readinglvl = getReadingLevel(paragraphs, sentences, words, chars); [..] function getReadingLevel (p, s, w, c) { var r = Math.round((4.75 * (c / w)) + (0.5 * (w…

For a site that's (apparently) hosting an article about a security vulnerability, they _really_ need to turn debug mode off. For those wondering what I'm on about when the site sta…

Agree that lxml is certainly quite large and batteries-included, but I've always found I can do pretty much everything I want to just using a few select methods, namely etree and x…

Cool, although LXML (mature, fast, reliable, generally awesome) can do this (and more): http://lxml.de/FAQ.html#how-can-i-map-an-xml-tree-into-a-dic... It also has the 'objectify' …

I actually was about to post this -- this guide is great. As an undergraduate, this was what was given to us to help demonstrate above-introductory command line tools/pipes.

This isn't the best solution. Instead do as others have suggested and make a subdirectory of your project the webserver root. This solutions just stops nginx (/whatever web server …

While I'm aware this isn't the actual topic, this is just a warning to not take this thread as a accurate representation of how useful "Who's Hiring" threads really are (e.g. as co…

It's not a keyfob, it's built into the card itself. The security measures are pretty good actually: - Can't pay for things costing more than £20 via contactless (have to use chip a…

This is almost entirely FUD, and 'the card readers rarely function adequately if at all' is just plain untrue. What makes you say the readers don't work? Personal experience? I've …

Lovely subtext in the last section. Good on you guys for not rising to Jeff's stubborn/dismissive attitude.

If this was part of a DNS Amplification DDoS, the source address is spoofed, and is in fact the target of the DDoS attack.

I've been considering trying HFT myself for a while. I'm competent with Machine Learning and am a Software Developer by day, so I can program and can sysadmin well enough to get so…

First impressions upon landing: I have no idea what this site is. The 'about us' link in the bottom left is hidden enough to make it annoying (if this wasn't from HN, I probably wo…
