A basic implementation here: http://webpass.rkeene.org/ A couple of difficulties your writeup doesn't cover: * password expiry/rotation - webpass uses the "sequence number" for thi…

Is any of that really less the case with NoSQL?

Very interesting - thanks. I hadn't sought to delve into the combination of ASD and trip reports, perhaps under the assumption that my experience was somehow typical (haha - that p…

> I wish the light bulbs we already found were legal Are you hinting at psychedelics? I'm familiar with their documented ability to open up different kinds of doors, but not this p…

The sort of post-TMS emotional hypersensitivity he describes is "normal"? On one hand I wonder if I'm further on the spectrum than imagined and should seek help ... on the other, b…

Came here to complain about the HN title which tells me nothing about why I might care to read the OP. Noticed the domain, now glad to know. The title could do with a fixup though …

A little disappointing to see the links to his favourite paper going to paywalls. Here are arxiv/free links: 39 page JFP version: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1107.3539v1.pdf 12 pager from…

The elephant in the room here is Javascript. No other scripting language has been so bloody awful in the past that a five-line module that saves you typing `array.prototype.forEach…

Heh, I saw the scrollbar but it broke my brain a bit to see a button in the middle of the page that wasn't going to make it scroll. cf: http://adventurega.me/bootstrap/

> endemic lack of resources. Funny, the number of "labs" projects mozilla undertakes and eventually abandons doesn't suggest such a thing.

Huh, yesterday's submission of the same thing got no attention at all: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11125050 Transcribing my comment from there: I really want to see some p…

I can't find a reference now, but apparently the first "self-service" store in Australia was the original Coles Variety Store in Smith St, Melbourne, opened in 1914. [1] http://col…

I really want to see some papers, models or simulations to illustrate some of these effects - starting with the gravitational influence of ice sheets on sea level. This shouldn't b…

I find `not in` highly dubious - it makes the expression grammar awkward and harder to parse. Is `not in` a two-token operator? Or is `not` an adverb in this context? What else res…

Container deposit schemes are getting some discussion in the comments, so it seems an apt time to mention their history in Australia [1]. SA has had the scheme since '77, and the N…

You are asking the interesting question. I have nothing to add.

That link to http://learn-to-search.com/ kinda took the wind out of it for me. > In 2012, only 7% of men organizing tech conferences had the search skills to book male and female s…

The more I look at the three snails, the more I find A and C to be similar in their pattern of illumination. EDIT: the closer I look the more I'm convinced. C is the matte renderin…

maybe my sin is hosting at linode - for a new recipient at either of the behemoths, I seem to have 50% chance of going to spam. Thanks for your comment.

are you able to mail folks at google/live without going to spam? Genuinely curious.

Not open source, no plans to monetise, nothing to see on the website but expensive-looking animation ... what's the point? Who is this supposed to appeal to? (yes, this is kinda sn…

For those as confused as I was: "x^" is how the author renders "x̂" (or x-with-circumflex, for the font-challenged).
