[sys_argv]

Ok. I'm stumped. Could you give me a hint

[tzs → sys_argv]

If you want a hint for the firing squad, start out by limiting the number of participants to powers of two, and think recursively.

If you want a hint for the bicycle problem, think about tangents.

Anyone who drives a bycicle knows that the rear wheel follows a smooth path compared to the front wheel. So this image is easy. I guess there might be more tricky images. A straight line for instance ;)

Beyond the symbolic stature that he possessed, what 'power' did he have?

On: Ask HN: How many open tabs do you have and when does it become a problem?

[sys_argv]

Currently I have 267 tabs loaded in Firefox and in any given day I might load 50-100 tabs which I devote around 2 hours in a day to reducing down to around the 250 mark. I had about 420 tabs but in the last couple of weeks I have actively reduced them to the essential 'must-read' one day. http://imgur.com/1K4s6MP (this was a couple of days into my drive to reduce my tabs). Oh and I use firefox on linux. Hands down the best browser I have ever used.

On: Ask HN: What hosting do you use for personal projects?

[sys_argv]

http://www.thehosthouse.co.uk or http://www.edis.at If you are on a budget and/in Europe. I use both. No problems so far(Its been almost a year).

On: Why should I have written ZeroMQ in C, not C++ (part II)

[sys_argv]

I'm curious to know how long this has taken you to achieve.

[itsboring → sys_argv]

It's really tough to say, I've been working on it off and on for a few months. But I didn't really keep track of the time spent. I'll probably put it up on github when finished and see if anyone wants to rip apart my solutions and/or contribute better ones.
