4e1a··on Ask HN: Did knowing or learning a not-so-famous natural language benefit you?
RPG LOL. Me too.

I almost barfed at the last picture.

Time to clean house!

4e1a··on Heavy Metal and Natural Language Processing
I thought the same thing, but this method seems like it actually works. Could this be expanded to not just analyse words but frequency makeup also?
4e1a··on Heavy Metal and Natural Language Processing
This is really cool! Is this on github or anything? I'm having my friends and myself search for lyrics of different genres to compare this to.
4e1a··on A New Constraint on the Drake Equation
Vimana are not unique to India and there are references from all over the world and include the Egyptian Saqqara Bird, the pre-Columbian golden airplane models, the Greek Icarus legend, the Chariot of Ezekiel, the Nazca runways (lines), The Abydos carvings, The Tassili rock paintings from Algeria and the Chinese references to Lu Ban’s wooden aircraft that flew great distances. Naturally, these references are often dismissed by modern historians as simply impossible but there can be no doubt that humanity has a collective memory of have once been able to fly in ancient times.
4e1a··on A New Constraint on the Drake Equation
What about ancient Vimana and places like ankor wat? Wouldn't that suggest that technological species happened at least twice on the same star?
4e1a··on Atari Pong Project
That is awesome! You guys rule! I want one
4e1a··on What do you think of our website?
It's all fine and well, to me, until I came across the text over the image of that ugly assed condor. The background should be tinted like the other sections to increase readability and a more cohesive design. Just my two cents.
4e1a··on I’m Sorry
What a load of shit! He can't cryptographically prove something without courage?! WTF

4e1a··on Hello Lua
i concur
4e1a··on Found a 16y old password protected Zip file with my mIRC logs
I would research as to what cipher was used in zip files back then and see if it is currently defeatable, like RC4 or AES with bad padding, and then work through the cryptopals.com problems and see if any of this applies to the zip file.
4e1a··on Curl is 18 years old tomorrow
Excellent!
4e1a··on Ask HN: Best book (or other media) to learn lua from?
I learned Lua by reading "Programming In Lua" and by searching github for Lua projects and reading them.
4e1a··on Domino’s has built a self-driving robot for pizza delivery
That thing is kool and all, but if it costs me MY job then I'm gonna hack/steal/set-fire everyone I ever find outside.
4e1a··on Ask HN: What are your non-computer-based hobbies?
I make and solder circuits. Usually audio hardware but anything to make is fun to me. It usually involves the same mind-set because I have the chance to swap out components just like modifying a line of code and ending up with a new and improved version of whatever I am making.
4e1a··on Show HN: Adblock to Bitcoin
This does not work for me. I'm using 'ghostery' to block ads though, not 'ad-block'.
4e1a··on Squiggle
I kinda like this, but wish there was a download err something... Props to the creator!
4e1a··on Show HN: A simple progressive hash encoding scheme
Has anyone seen a scheme that is similar to this? Are there any known vulnerabilities in this scheme?
4e1a··on Ideas for a New Elliptic Curve Library
I am working on something (toy) similar to this in my spare time using luaJIT.

I like the idea of using a simpler DSL to interact with ECC.

4e1a··on KeyBase
Keybase is awesome! I have a few invites left to give away. It's in Alpha stages but should go Beta soon.
4e1a··on Coding like it's 1999
I've used this before on small projects and it has proven to be a better 'learning' experience versus just googling for help.
4e1a··on RemoteStorage – An open protocol for per-user storage
I couldn't get it to work either. The demo apps work great and WAS pleased by them, but now I'm just using native android apps at the cost of battery life.
