News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Increasing this sample size to two:

One heated day I punched an object that ought not be punched. Little finger swelled up and didn't quite work correctly. A few hours later said finger was bandaged, and holding a bill for $3,400. No medication. Just looked at, x-ray'd, and bandaged into recovery position. $3,400. US. It would have been cheaper to fly back to the UK and have it looked at - three times over!

I would like to point out that their research seems lacking.

The industry is not "moving to one big GPU".

The industry has already moved to 4, 6, or 8 "big" GPUs per station/node.

Ask HN: What might the best route be to an IT degree?

I currently have a day job as an Estimator, run a side business doing design/architectural work, and am contemplating studying for an IT degree in the hope of replacing the day job with something I'm more interested in such as a Sys Analyst.I'm from the UK but currently reside in NYC and am a permanent resident.I'd sincerely appreciate some guidance on how to go about doing this. Specifically,...

The article is interesting, but how you managed to do this even more so.

I thought ddos was usually via botnets/unaware infected users. The story states such people were willing participants?
Does Office for Mac not count?

Check out the incredibly thorough release notes for a list of what's new. Might need to Instapaper it as it's very, very long.

I used to live in Exeter and thought the same about the police. Then I moved to Florida.

I miss Exeter police.

In case anyone is wondering, Brooks uses the 2.13ghz model.

Anyone know Venetian Snares' business model?

I don't believe he has such a thing.

The setup in the picture doesn't make sense... There isn't room for a set of studio monitors. Even if there were you'd be too close to them.

I'd guess the guys speakers are behind him and he just fancied doing lots of 180 deg spins throughout the day. Some people.

I wondered what all the fuss was about... indeed it seemed like the guy copy/pasted the Gruppled Lockinfo theme and popped some text on the page to describe it all.

Lockinfo became too much useless info for me to have open all the time. Notified Pro with Statusbar plugin is the minimalistic approach I was looking for, although not perfect as yet.

Edit/ Unsure what year the post was created. Might've been before Lockinfo.

Re:TinyGrab abandons iOS because of new App Store rules on Monday February 21, 2011 @01:49PM (#2246603)
This sucks... For Tinygrab.

iOS users will find an alternative.

iOS + mac users will leave Tinygrab for a system that still works in iOS

The user loses 5 minutes of sign up time. Tinygrab loses income.

Shame there's no way of sending all users to the Tinygrab site for sign up as that'd negate the 30%. but then apple would moan it's a feature that should be available in the app and you're back to square 1

"What did Android "copy"? An interface with a grid of icons?"

In layman terms, yes. You might argue Android copied it from Apple who copied it from Win Mobile who copied it from Windows who copied it from Apple who bought it off Parc. But that would be annoying to read.

AutoCAD for Mac came out of beta stages recently. It is still rather clunky in usage. The GUI is also in need of a little love, but it works. Revit for Mac can't be that far off.

Vectorworks (used to be called MiniCAD) for Mac is still excelling in areas AutoCAD seems to have forgotten about. Its 2D drafting is unparalleled, although use in a multi-user environment is lacking. There is also ArchiCAD; a system second only to Bentley. Once one adapts to the different method of drafting in these apps they rarely want to go back to ACAD, if only for import/export checks.

Much like moving from Word to Pages... annoyingly odd at first but much more productive once learnt fully.

It has been known for quite some time now that the upcoming iterations of Apple's operating system will be using HP Sauce's 57 varieties as a naming scheme, allowing for an unprecedented amount of revisions before trying to think of something else.
Re:What is Apple hiding on the iPhone4? on Saturday June 19, 2010 @10:37PM (#1445761)
It doesn't make sense to inquire if you know it works with everything in the app store. That's the difference.
