I had gone through a survey course while in grad school a few years ago. Riak, HBase, CouchDB were the shiny new things. I kinda lost track of things after school, but want to chec…

This is more about the way of doing lockless data operations than specific data structures - look up the RCU pattern, there are good CPP talks by Fedor Pikus on it.

Love it! Thank you for creating this. Is there a way to add the bookmarklet to my toolbar instead of having it on the bookmarks toolbar which I keep hidden. EDIT: Also can I get to…

Also, the new (now a few months old) Google finance UI as well. The charts are almost always broken, clicking on 1M will not show today's levels. And earlier I could just put a /FB…

Lots of them! Too many to count :( Depends on what you going for, the non expensive stuff is usually not that great and doesn't last long or smell very crass. Good resources to get…

lowendbox.com is where I look for cheap experimental boxes.

Can confirm this.

I interviewed with a company in San Jose for a job on Nov 16th last year. And guess when I got a answer back from them? Dec 23rd. Yep, that's right. And not like it was some big co…

Sigh. IMO one really really has to give up the thought that you are paying for the hardware when buying Apple products.

A million upvotes for this.

Yep. Basically one sleep cycle is 90mins. So it just gives you 3-4 times based on minimum 2 cycles. Nothing fancy.

The latest book (4th edition) though a book in the same series is not exactly in the same vein as the earlier editions. It is toned down and uses Java. I would recommend the 3rd ed…

All of you thinking about this is such a long article with no meat, why he describes food so much, hold off a bit. This is THE format of the column, he does this every week with in…

>> Great, but how about week-long hackathons where people can code on whatever they want? Showing the three-level branch hierarchy of your repository doesn't seem to tell me a grea…

Currently 1and1 is running a promo for $5 domains. They are pretty good generally. Nothing special though. Would recommend eurodns or namecheap.

Yep. Sumatra is great for snappy viewing. But do not print! What it does is convert whole pages in bitmaps and chokes the memory and the network. I would strong recommend PDF-Xchan…

Yes, that's what I was querying with, but the results link to HN threads while I wanted to look at actual sites/products.

Thanks. I did not know of searchyc.com, I was just looking to see if people had done what I was thinking of.

Can you spawn a new whiteboard when more than 40 users join?

Honestly I don't care. I just want something easy to remember. About caring about other people's perception well I was concerned about potential employers, nothing major.

Sadly none of them are available.

Dear HNers. I am looking to register a domain name for my personal website. Nothing fancy with respect to content; maybe just a personal blog, my amateur photographs and details ab…

Everybody is getting hung up on the price of this device, which I admit is high, but a comparison to the iPad's price is not fair. As stated below, the closest iPad is $730. Also t…
