It's pretty common on a lot of recent startup landing pages. Great looking design, nice little touches like animation - but very little detail on how the product actually works. The assumption is that someone curious is going to sign u

First: don't be scared. Your best offer will be based on how many offers you received. How many offers you receive will be based on how many jobs you try for. When looking for a job you want to apply for as many jobs as possible. If yo

I get where you're coming from much better now. Looking at your original comment/OP's post, I think a lot of the replies you got substituted in information from the OP in places where you did not specify. You've cleared

[I'm curious why I got downvoted above - did I miss something?] I don't think that needs a citation though. Any GUI is a graphical language for a constrained problem. I could use a generic text language to post this comment to HN,

In your example you used an ace of spades. Your picture took up half my screen. I can't imagine trying to actually manipulate logic when each element is taking up half my screen - can you? Instead, I can just create a variable called A

I think this would be a better benchmark than that one as it runs a more apples-apples comparison: http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r8&hw=i7...

Sounds good. Sometimes a simple solution works much better than a complex one simply because it interacts with everything else really well and creates the impression that it's smart. Looking forward to seeing it. :)

I read the lower half, but I still wanted to comment on the top half. You seemed to be implying that a fire in the kitchen was the developer's problem. It is not - the business takes ownership of the rewards and the business takes owne

If you've stopped to look around you'd notice there is a dire shortage of good developers who want to work for others. Nearly all the good developers I know work on side project/hopeful businesses in their spare time. It&#x27

You're definitely right. A lot of people don't fully understand how difficult what he's trying to do here is - and there have been many, many teams trying to do what he's talking about and have failed. Not to say he won&

Agreed. For an example, Mass Effect 3 is a relatively recent game on the Unreal engine that sold over 1.5 million copies + DLC, probably for revenue of something like $100mil. 5% of that $100mil per successful game should be enough to keep

Would be nice to see some benchmarks. I can't see how this could be faster than just running it in Safari. In Safari you get access to far faster javascript jit than you do in the embedded app js engine. The app itself just translates

Generally flail around, make assumptions, and scramble to fix things after the fact. It rarely works very well, but you get your pay check.

It's expensive because it has competition that is charging less. The actual price doesn't matter that much given consumers are free to choose alternatives. That said, $100/yr is extremely expensive in most countries in the wo

There are tons of meanings for "real time". Just because you like one of the definitions doesn't mean the other definitions don't exist. eg, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_data http:/&

Hey, don't take it too bad. If you say anything negative about certain topics you will get downvotes. It's mostly because people not in love with certain topics have learned to just leave them alone and it's left a big echo c

Sounds like that would work well - it's the approach ElasticSearch has taken with their APIs and they're generally very nice to use.

Most startups fail. Most entrepreneurs are likely very poor managers who end up stuck in that role because they happened to be the founders. What you're describing is pretty common. I think the best bet if you're the type of perso

I understand that all SREs wouldn't have access - but if one SRE was able to gain access to look at some personal emails, surely it would be fully possible for other employees to manage it as well? I think the stance that a lot of Goog

That definitely does not tie up with the pcmag article below http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2369188,00.asp - can you explain the disparity? As far as I can tell, a site reliability engineer is a very common posi

Not true, it really is fairly random. Usually if it's cool to you it will probably be cool to a bunch of other people. However, the chance that those other people are in a position to upvote it is pure chance. One it gets a bunch of up

CGI scripts are dead though. It turns out it wasn't a good way to do it. It's better to use a nice new invention like Apache or Nginx to handle the sockets for you and then use frameworks specifically designed to handle HTTP respo

You open network sockets in Linux and redirect stdout to them? It's possible with curl I guess, but generally people don't do that as it's hard to send the data in the right format. Mostly people will use a tool to access net

Sure, but I wouldn't bring my forklift out of storage to move a sack of potatoes across the room either which is what you're doing when you use Java for a 10 line shell script. That's not what Java is designed for.

Sure, but if you want to modify this code to send stdin over the network or through bluetooth in the Java version, you would just replace 'System.out' with the socket. The code would remain the same - in fact the whole class could

Probably not - Google is a big company and there are bound to be a number of employees not pleased with current direction at any time. It could be entirely personal reasons such as wanting to move to the GCE team but being denied because of
