I would also like to see the talks categorized little bit more better than just Featured, popular, recent, events.
One good thing would be to let users to submit talks into the system, which would free your time from finding talks which actually do not interest you personally.
Terrific idea. Beautiful web design. Awfully executed, because I think you built this for yourself and not for others.
Then again I like when a site allows me to create new account for the site, because this does not share my social data to the site, but the registration process is annoying, because I of course want to use the site right away.
OpenID is pretty cool system, but I do not use it, because I do not use any of the OpenID services like Google anymore.
Never before heard of Mozilla's BrowserID, so can not say much about it.
These days I have been thinking about system where log in form asks for email address and password. Then the client will send this email address to the server and the server will check if the address already exists in the database.
If the email does not exist then the server will reply to the client and the client will send the password to the server and the server will register new account and authenticate the user right away. Then the user can do whatever they need to do on the site.
If the email does exist then the server will reply to the client and the client will send somekind of hash generated to the server to authenticate the user. The hash function will use the user password as the secret key. Once the server receives this hash it will authenticate the account if the email and password were correct.
I think this kind of system would simplify the registration process. If you need the email address verified you can send the verification email on the registration process, but do not require the email to be verified right away, because it's damn annoying to go to your email to click the damn link to verify your email address which usually opens new tab in your browser when you already most likely have the site in open tab.
There is waste of electricity the more time you waste on writing bad code. This wastes electricity and the materials used to generate it. Even though this is really small and you do not notice it anywhere else except in your electricity invoice.
Another material waste is to build hardware and software can not be used without hardware. Building computer parts does create waste when the parts are created this same happens when you saw a wood plank. Even if you use the plank you cut you have wasted the amount of wood your saw cut out. Basically sawdust is in this case the waste, but I am not certain how much building hardware will create dust, I think it's really minimal, but it's still waste of materials.
I wasted quite a bit of electricity by writing this meaningless post.
What smart money thinks apple does with their cash
Ask HN: Why we estimate software products?
I don't understand why we estimate how long software product takes to be ready. Other than for clients who want to know how long their cash will last. Software developers will of course add features to the product as long as you have cash to pay them.Building software is not like building house. When you build a house you can easily calculate how many wooden blanks, bricks etc go into the...

Why traffic exchange fails
This can either be mobile development or desktop development. There are many possible languages to use for this. Java is one of the most popular starting languages these days, but I would still suggest learning C or C++.
The edit info, button still goes to user/edit instead of user/nickname/edit.
Still the system is showing those who are listed as "hireable: false" showing up before those who are actually hireable.
The search result ordering is odd. There's no reason for gitrank, if it does not affect the order the github users are shown.
The biggest failure is that wrong information is showing up for peoples username. Thing is, if the username does not yet exist in your data set, then query it before showing someone else's profile.
Popularity does not show how good software developer is, we are not celebrities, some of us are not even bloggers. Some of us do not actively participate on open source, even if we have few repositories in Github. Though we still might be looking for work.
Short-story: Dimension Jumper
Shutdown PC by removing SD Card
a) Yes they can. b) Of course they can do that if the HD is not encrypted or the encryption is broken. c) Yes they can do that, but why would they do it if they already broke the hard drive encryption? They could just delete the script. d) Well yes surely they could do this.
Anyway my only goal implementing the SD card shutdown was to secure the system from friends who want to invade my privacy and thief's. Basically I can do auto login to my admin account and if the SD card is not mounted it shut downs.
