News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I have a huge ego and like more money. Is HackerOne the best way to feed both?
Re:Show HN: Run SSH and HTTP(S) on the same port on Friday January 23, 2015 @03:32PM (#8937088)
The .gitignore is a good way to see if a project cares about being precise.
Except for you, right? People like to feel better about themselves by declaring defects in everyone else but themselves. Even me.

Liking the Go, not liking the .gitignore.

Spark any use? I just saw free and assumed some ptw scheme.

As usual, I checked the .gitignore. You may want to try "/gowiki" instead of "gowiki".
Re:Computers Conquer Heads-Up Limit Hold'em on Thursday January 08, 2015 @03:05PM (#8858590)
Limited still means having a choice in what to bet. Trivial EV calculations can only tell you to bet or not, so I assume it's using something more involved.
I texted to a word game displayed on a Times Square banner. Got monthly "support emails" featuring garbage trivia, and a $10 charge hidden on my at&T bill. I think it was one of those shortened phone numbers, though.

Quite the opposite of "lacking"--way too much.

Well, that's a knock on /github then. The entries should be as minimal as possible, in number and in individual length.

I find the .gitignore a good way to gauge the quality of a repo. This one does not exhibit quality.
Re:Delve: a debugger for Go, written in Go on Wednesday November 12, 2014 @02:42PM (#8597679)
.gitignore ignores "foo" and "bar". Should I trust the rest of the project? Is this a convention?
Re:Show HN: Meet me, I'll buy you coffee on Tuesday November 11, 2014 @07:50PM (#8593329)
Neat! Just remember that it's not just who you know--it's what you know! You'll go far.
Re:Building a simple VGA-adapter for an 8-bit self made computer on Thursday November 06, 2014 @06:54PM (#8570540)
Neat! Would a 1-bit computer be 8 times easier?
Are there any ads? It is unusual for a game to be on the App Store without monetization.
Re:CurrentC Has Been Hacked, Testers’ Email Addresses Stolen on Wednesday October 29, 2014 @12:45PM (#8528205)
I have more trust in Apple Pay and hope that wins.
Re:Nexus 9 on Wednesday October 15, 2014 @02:03PM (#8460447)
At some point we'll have unified memory and storage anyway. Our brains are already unified in our perception of memory, so I have no problem telling people the storage amount as "memory".
Re:Show HN: Markov chains explained visually on Tuesday July 29, 2014 @06:37PM (#8105406)
The problem with Markov chains is that they are named after a person, which makes math seem more like a "private club". For instance, why use "abelian group", when "commutative group" will do? The reasons for wanting to be a member of an exclusive group are psychological.
