These guys are snake oil salesmen and they fool unsuspecting students and institutes and profit by their naivete. The crap they sell under the name of 'Hacking' is absolutely pathetic and at best they succeed in creating script kiddies. Thi

If he's talking about general grammar skills in any language then it makes sense. Poor grammar always stands out as a negative trait, but should not be the sole criteria to hire. Some of the best developers are immigrants and not always hav

I use LinuxMint 13 on Ideapad Y470. It has 8GB RAM, 750GB HDD, slot for mSATA SSD and NVidia 550M GPU. I run Bumblebee + BBSwitch for NVidia Optimus and it is blazing fast. Sleep works fine and I feel the battery life is much better than ru

This is a neat concept and I liked it. The website is a bit confusing and I thought BP is a text editor like LightTable. The links are clickable and doesn't lead to anywhere added to the confusion. A few use cases will be helpful. Is it cus

Go is very intriguing and many people commented that it feels natural to code in Go. Do you share the same view? Did you run into any difficulties managing 4000 lines of code?
