I built DnD, a self hosted file transfer program. It's like scp with a UI. Check it out on github: https://github.com/0xcaff/dnd

I'd wager a guess that the weight is coming from machine learning models.

Do people really want to import pictures on to whiteboards? I've never needed to do this. It's usually easy to just draw whatever it is.

Sounds like how I feel when writing code.

It also seems to be based on the account balance of the patron, not the amount they contribute.
Re:Ask HN: Learning to code, without a computer? on Saturday October 08, 2016 @09:05PM (#12669407)
I would recommend to start with the basics: logic, assembly, algorithms and data structures.

> -- If he'll be in for ten or more years, he should learn something else. His learning will be so slow and the field changes so quickly that he might learn a few timeless fundamentals, but that's all. He could accomplish much more in some other challenging field that didn't require tools he wouldn't have (ex: math, physics, accounting, ...)

The field changes quickly but the fundamentals (data structures, design patterns, data structures) not as much.

Where can I find math problems like this? I'm taking Calculus 2 would like to challenge myself with similar problems.
They should have tried it with a full size physical keyboard and larger on screen keyboards too.

What does Cisco sell besides hardware?

I'm curious why they didn't mention something so game changing as this in the keynote.

Speaking of annoying things Google has done lately, they recently updated Android's Google Keyboard completely changing the layout, keysize and removing most of the secondary (press and hold for more characters) keys. It has become almost impossible to type with it but I haven't found another keyboard with a good theme, haptic feedback and good suggestions. I miss the days Google used to cater to power users.
The great Zoz talked about this at defcon 2013 https://youtu.be/gGweoLu1Gzo.
This has happened to me so many times at my school. Almost every time I open a terminal in class, someone makes a big deal about it, telling a teacher or everyone in the class I'm hacking something. Teachers don't usually know what to think though so they just ignore it.
I believe he was referring to Trump's America as discrimination towards non-Americans and just ignorance in general.
Just out of curiosity, can't this be implemented with `nvm` and some sand boxing? Why did you choose to use docker?
[Here's a link to the original response video which the article failed to include.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ShfNQOUeAY) Probably to reduce bounce rates or something.
Re:The Kik Bot Platform on Tuesday April 05, 2016 @03:23PM (#11433539)
Kik also downscales images last time I checked. It is still better than MMS though.
I'm a Junior in highschool and I have the same problems. Some teachers require you to bring all your books to their class every day. Others usually use textbook information to create PowerPoints which they use in class but it is still useful to have the textbook open to learn all the information which they skip. Students usually avoid carrying around textbooks by leaving most of their books in their lockers at school for most of the year but this makes it hard to study outside of school. They also cram all their homework during studyhalls and copy homework from others instead of actually studying though.
Re:A Raspberry Pi dashcam with two cameras and a GPS on Sunday March 27, 2016 @10:26PM (#11372391)
He wrote about handling shutdowns in another post on his blog.[1]

> For the automatic shutdown I have used a 12V programmable timer in combination with an optocoupler.

> When the car is powered the the timer gets triggered and is starting the power supply for the Raspberry pi, Dashcam pi will get started and will do its job. When the car is turned off the optocoupler triggers the GPIO pin of the raspberry and starts a shutdown. After 15 seconds the timer is shutting down and the raspberry pi is powerless.

[According to the documentation:][1]

> When the device determines that it's moved a significant distance, it contacts a server via 3G or WiFi (hopefully one of those is available, but we queue messages many thousands on the app until connectivity can be established)
