Woahh this is really cool!

If my company makes hardware, what's something I can do with RunMat which I couldn't easily do with Octave? (Assuming I don't want to use MATLAB)

Thanks!

When I browse, I often have multiple windows with lots of tabs open at once. Chrome gives me an option to "Continue where I left off" but only does this for a single window at a time.

Create an extension that lets me press a single button to close all of Chrome. It should also automatically restore all these windows when I start Chrome. My current workaround is to kill the Chrome process and it'll attempt to restore when I restart Chrome.

I'm not familiar with Chrome extensions so I'm not sure how hard this would be. But if someone built this, I'd definitely use it!

Does anyone know where I can find some really great OpenGL ES 2.0 tutorials for Android?

> Facebook seems more vulnerable by the day.

Why would you say that? I'm just curious.

Does anyone have a link to the video?

Sorry everyone, but unfortunately this is paywalled, and it looks like a really cool paper!! Does anyone know where we can get a pdf or something? Is it OK to ask something like this here? If not, lemme know and I'll delete this post

When has this happened before?

Eat breakfast and be calm and collected. Don't stress.

What is a non-lexical phrase extractor?

I googled it but it leads back to this page.

I disagree because I find that it makes my code more elegant. A lot of smart developers I respect have also embraced early exits. But then again I haven't yet worked with large legacy codebases.

I'm still learning so I'd be grateful for a heads up if you make that blog post. I've put my email in my hn profile.

Could you please elaborate on No. 11?

"Never use early exits". Could you please elaborate what you mean by that?

PS. I'm not trying to unintentionally start a flame war. Just trying to understand.

Sorry I'm a bit curious, but what are the dozen other networked technology devices that are much more worrying?

Here is a link to all the equivalent international times:

I feel event organizers should take care to provide international times for stuff people outside America can see.

Just out of curiosity, why do you think checked exceptions are bad?

I found this blog post on underwater nuclear weapon test effects:

I use chrome

That sounds really cool!

Sorry but could you please send me the link to the extension? Or if its an inbuilt thing a page of instructions? I Googled it and I got back your post as the first result.....

That would be amazing!

I got an invite for Work at a Startup at the start of the year, but couldn't go because I live in Australia. To avoid the plane ticket I looked at other ways of getting there, like via cargo plane or cargo ship. It turns out the first one is illegal an the second one is more expensive and takes longer :D

Sorry if I'm derailing the conversation, but is Google trying to capture the market share with the Android or is it trying to make a profit?

What is Google's goal with the Android? Ads? An extension to search?

Again, sorry if I've derailed the discussion. I'm just curious to see what HN thinks.

I'm an undergrad studying CS and Electrical & Electronic Eng. I'm keen to improve myself.

Just out of curiosity, how would you identify a 'good' programmer? What makes a programmer 'good'?

Cheers for your answers in advance.

I'm not in America. Does anyone know where I can see this live online?

"The two papers have not been digitised, and only currently exist in handwritten form. People wishing to read the papers need to travel to the National Archives at Kew with the reference numbers of the papers, and two forms of ID — a picture ID, and proof of address. People who do this will probably be given a reader ticket number, which will then allow them to request the papers for viewing."
