"Free for open source" means that they are offering their product for free (eg, without cost) to projects that are open source. They are not publishing their own source . If you're…

This also detects the file encoding & delimiters.

Chartio actually will accept TSV files because it will detect most of these settings. It'll detect the delimiter, the presence of a header line, file encoding, and newline characte…

Once your CSV (or TSV) files start having quoted fields, they become very tricky to parse using standard multi-purpose tools like sort, awk, & uniq. It's hard enough when you have …

Doesn't the library just have to perform a simple search-and-replace on the entire page's HTML for the blacklisted characters to remove them? Normally blacklisting is bad, but we'r…

This is supposed to be paired with the alternative viewpoint: Are You Guilty If Pirates Use Your Internet? Lawyer Says YES http://torrentfreak.com/are-you-guilty-if-pirates-use-you…

It seems like a reasonable assumption for a user to know the two-letter abbreviation of the state they live in. If you suggest otherwise, how do we know that they can spell their s…

I noticed that Google+ allowed something similar when sending bug reports. Do they use a similar method?

The title is a bit misleading at first glance: each company is setting records against previous quarters of the company itself , not compared to every other company in the US. Hone…

On paper, universities disallow helping others cheat. In reality, it doesn't seem to be enforced. If the helper student has already passed the class, the professor can't take disci…

His current implementation runs out of memory on a board less than half that size. Good luck ;-P

Fox News is owned by News Corp.

I had issues with their domain management & DNS settings. Godaddy's was actually better.

This implementation claims to take SUM(argv) ticks, whereas the original sleepsort took MAX(argv) seconds. Is this an error, or is something done fundamentally different?

There's no active consensus, but a defacto standard emerges. If I want to talk about Google+, I'm more likely to use a hashtag, such as #googleplus, I've seen before. I could be a …

They already have this, but it's a bit hidden. They're replacing the @ with +, which really ties the whole service together quite nicely (while integrating +1's as well). Your exam…

It's still nesting callbacks, just not inline. Also, for the second example, this might be a cleaner solution: var fs = require('fs'); function writeFile(filename){ return function…

If you can't create an account after the first invite, get another. Then it will let you in. I've invited a few people below who haven't confirmed their success :-)

Very nice! It'd be cool if you could select a bunch of "Me too" options when you first sign up without it reloading the right sidebar. On Chrome at least, it slows down, gets chopp…

Buzz includes shared items/notes in Reader. You can always export (& import) your subscriptions: http://www.google.com/reader/subscriptions/export?hl=en . Also, although there isn'…

Your code has a bug on line 2. @file_get_contents(' http://.long2ip(ip2long($argv[1])+$c ) Since $c is the IP address itself, adding the starting IP again will check a completely d…

Phew, thought it was about Bitcoin.

Although I understand your perspective, and I agree that they have to do something to "make things right," I'm still inclined to accept the rollback. As much as I hate to use analo…

Although I can completely understand why this guy (the sumbitter?) disagrees with MtGox's solution, I thought it seemed perfectly reasonable. Even though MtGox never stated they'd …

Is there a demo available? The HN link title is more descriptive than the page itself...
