Nirsofts 'hashmyfiles' has this functionality built in already, known as duplicate search mode. Works extremely well. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/hash_my_files.html

How the fuck do you buy something for $80bn with a plan to make a profit? If only I knew, I'd have gone to my local NatWest and asked for a loan.

I still see it also. But try using it. It just gives a list of google results instead of taking you to the first page in the result list.

Knocked on the head as in it's no longer available.
Where has “I'm feeling Lucky” gone?
Google appears to have knocked the "I'm Feeling Lucky" search on the head. Anyone know the reason why and any hacks to get it back? I used this daily as part of a custom search engine in Chrome.

This is a great idea and well presented. I often like to see how others implement a particular API and for what purpose, which in turn keeps me developing new ideas.

I thought this was an awesome article, the OP is obviously deep in the rabbit hole and his code is well written. Top job. Keep on hacking.
Re:Ask HN: Is it worth paying for a Coursera course?
on Saturday April 09, 2016 @03:09PM (#11462773)
I agree with some of the comments about effectively being able to play the exam game. That said, some courses I've seen have offered extra credit, and distinction grades, if certain extra work is undertaken which is not simply guessing exam questions multiple times. Such an example is Cryptography by Prof Katz which is part of the Cybersecurity specialisation. You can pass the course by playing the system, but to do well you need to write code to crack crypto systems. Not something everyone is capable of and offers a different perspective on the overall result. I've done several coursera courses and they've landed me some pretty decent jobs. Just depends on how You sell them :-)

just seen this bbc report on the issue http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-35231632, apparently its not a ddos, but this is the 2nd day in a row, so pretty significant internal issue. Possible causes? 2016 leap year :-p ?
