from the self-post dept.

So I found the shell of a bed bug at home last night, however after researching about them, it seems the only solutions that work are to wash everything at 60 degrees celsius and destroy/incinerate your mattress :(Is there any advances in technology to help detect and exterminate bed bugs? It seems like a huge problem in every major city...It's great that we're working on various methods...

from the ask-hn dept.

We have various machines that a few of us need full access too, however these machines are only accessible by TeamViewer and have a few programs running that also have their own set of login login details.<p>Originally, one person kept all information in Excel as a passworded file and shared it with others, but now we really need to move to something more secure that can be accessed and...

Maybe add a link to MIT OpenCourseWare? As I wasn't aware of MIT OCW before, but I've just tested/inscribed (I also may have accidentally put a date in the past for my first email)
Re:Ask HN: Graduate Java developer, should I get into iOS development? on Tuesday October 02, 2012 @08:42AM (#4601628)
I'm actually only looking for jobs between Geneva and Lausanne. My French is quite good but not fluent though I'm able (and have already) to do interviews in French.

Though I'm from London and know there's plenty jobs around here, but not as many in Suisse Romande.

Ask HN: Graduate Java developer, should I get into iOS development?

Posted by dan2k3k4 on Tuesday October 02, 2012 @07:15AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I have just obtained my B.Sc in Computer Science however I've spent most of my time with Java. I'm currently looking for jobs and wondered whether I should try to get into iOS development (via internship or similar) or to try and find a job with Java development.Personally, I would prefer to be involved in something new. However as far as I know, most internships pay very little and I'm...

I just noticed this thread... normally I always browse the 'top' articles on HackerNews and only ventured into 'new' to find my own thread.

Ahh! :( I had new-lines and spacing set out but it doesn't show up above... trying to fix now.

EDIT: Updated the quad spacing to --, seems OK, complain if otherwise.

from the self-post dept.

I've had these ideas saved up for over 3 years now, I add new ones every now and then but I haven't gone back to remove ones that exist now. Anyway, since I doubt I would have much time to work on them, I figured I would share them here.@-- ideas and scribblestwitter app to plot tweets by the number of followers (x) and following (y) a person has-- bar graphs, scatter graphs, pie charts ->...
