Shamiq··on The NYT’s blogs are set to be paywalled
Let's just call it a grand experiment and see how it goes.
Shamiq··on Continuations Made Simple and Illustrated
Note to the reader: Illustrated does not mean pictorially.
Shamiq··on Chumby's Chinese Factories (read previous posts too)
They start making those machines? Or the machines that make the machines? Etc etc.
Shamiq··on Ask HN: What happened to CO2Stats?
It's become that "Green Certified Site" logo instead.
Shamiq··on Ask HN: Review my Startup - Preceden
Sweet, can I use this to build a resume?

Shamiq··on Think big with a gig: Our experimental fiber network
Owning your net access, owning the DNS, routing through their backbone. These guys have all your bases covered.

How do you form an underground internet that bypasses the big players?

Shamiq··on Ask HN: Review my Startup - Preceden
Interesting, I've always assumed the long form of "Jen" was spelled "Jennifer" rather than "Jeniffer".
Shamiq··on Ask HN: Who's Hiring?
Still Off-topic for the thread, tho.
Shamiq··on Apple Demands Removal Of USB Sharing Feature
Isn't Stanza a free app?
Shamiq··on Corporations Cannot Have Natural Rights… Duh
I want to hear what Eliezer has to say.
Shamiq··on Tell HN: I'll work for you for free this summer
>>interesting work over

I can most definitely vouch for that.

Shamiq··on The signals workers send by living in a city
I would say so:

>Change causes a bifurcation where agglomeration eventually constitutes an equilibrium.

Then add back the extra info.

Shamiq··on Tesla Is Going Public
Holy wow. Maybe we'll get to see where these guys are spending their money.
Shamiq··on Dan
:(
Shamiq··on McGraw-Hill CEO: "The tablet is going to be just really terrific"

Seth joins the club.

Shamiq··on PDFs in Pure Ruby
There's also -require 'spreadsheet'- for generating .xls files on the fly:

Shamiq··on Learning About Statistical Learning
Isn't the buying and selling of those international versions questionably legal in the United States? (Assuming OP is from the US).
Shamiq··on Semi-complete list of startup accelerator programs (any more to add?)
That's toughie. Is a success counted when the first company does well, or if the entrepreneur goes on to make a ton of amazing companies, giving some stock to the accelerator and/or having them involved in the process?
Shamiq··on Ask HN: What are you working on?
I've got joytouse.com and notlit.com

(I agree, the first one seems like it would sell devices for hedonic pleasures).

Shamiq··on Ask HN: Computer Vision and AR project ideas
Can you make something that looks at what someone is wearing, and then alters colors, patterns, etc? So I try on a certain shirt type, and then it'll show what I would look like with other shirts of the same cut?

I would also enjoy a gesture controlled UI for a simple computer. Maybe something that can turn sign language into typed English?

I've got no idea how difficult these systems would be to build -- absolutely no experience in the field.

Shamiq··on 2010 = 1+2-(3-4-5)*6*7*8-9
I'll see what I can whip up...
Shamiq··on Hire Programming Tutors now on WageMachine
That looks cool. :)
Shamiq··on [dead]
Agreed. This looks like total BS.

EDIT

Why would you put a gigabit port on a tablet?

Shamiq··on If You're Typing The Letters A-E-S Into Your Code, You're Doing It Wrong
Man, I love the banter between you and Thomas.
Shamiq··on 2010 = 1+2-(3-4-5)*6*7*8-9
Lines 349 to 387 made me laugh. A little bit of recursion can hide a lot of deeply nested looping :)
Shamiq··on 50 Things we know now that we didn't know this time last year
But what's the fun in that? I was thinking about streamlining the process.
Shamiq··on 50 Things we know now that we didn't know this time last year
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=safari&rls...

How many of those would put you close enough to the original research that you wouldn't care to dig deeper?

Shamiq··on 50 Things we know now that we didn't know this time last year
Wouldn't that be a cool firefox plugin? Highlight text and click "Find Original Research." Opens a new tab/window and shows search result for key terms.
Shamiq··on Ask HN: Review my holiday project
So, the object in the URL is b64 encoded. It says "resolution-tracker" followed by something, then Resolution followed by something.

Also, make error messages pretty, please:
