Yeah, it is refreshing to see people posting results from these predominantly weight lifting programs. Helps keep me motivated on what I'm doing. If anyone is interested in starting, but lacks the money for a personal trainer, I've found S

This looks amazing, it would be a perfect tool for learning programming in the first place, but can easily work great for experts as well. Incredible. When can we get a download link to try this out?

While programming I love scribbling down notes and ideas on a notepad. There is something about the change in mindset or context from screen and keyboard to pen and paper that helps me see the whole picture of what I am working on, or even

A recent blog post that didn't get enough love here: ( http://www.ribbonfarm.com/2012/03/08/halls-law-the-nineteent... ) seems to suggest that we are probably at a point where the new "Moore's Law" (or new new Hall's Law) is soon to be disc

Mine does too...eventually. It looks like it is taking ~15 seconds to bring that page up.

I have The Little Schemer, but have had trouble figuring out the best way to use the book. Do you just read it from cover to cover? Or do you cover up the right hand of the page and try to come up with an answer (maybe even typing it into t

Thanks! We're pretty much split between Austin and Pittsburgh.

Good idea, we'll add that in as soon as possible. For now, here works. Thank you! We will get that fixed.

Movies are absolutely on the road map. We are currently bootstrapping, so we had to limit ourselves to what would be the most popular to launch with at first.

Thanks! You wouldn't believe how many people told me more or less the same thing while we were developing this site.

We don't currently have a "karma" idea, but are working to add more game-like elements.

This is awesome. Are you planning on adding more diverse data sets beyond government and economic? Something like professional sports stats, college sports stats, etc?

Good idea. Changing my profile picture to the STOP SOPA one right now.

I think that was his way of saying just pick one. Whichever one seems to you like the most popular, go with that. Because it doesn't really matter which you choose, what matters is that you start.

Are there any good sites out there that have a lot of these types of problems that are asked in interviews? Sites like http://spoj.pl seem to have problems that are more longer form. But it would be fun to start practicing solving the sho

The data is freely available of the amount of money raised by different members of congress, right? I've got an idea for a little mashup to try to raise money against the backers of this bill.

I've been using Vim more or less exclusively for the last year or so, and there is only one feature of Aptana Studio that I miss, and have not been able to find in any Vim plugins. In the directory/project tree in Aptana, files had differen

I love this. I recently started my first project using node and these blog posts have been extremely helpful in figuring out the right way to do things, even if I'm not using the specific modules the posts are about. I kind of felt that th

Hey all, I made this over the last couple weeks learning Node and Mongo in the process. It was originally just for the room I spend time in, but after some interest for one for other rooms, I made it more generic and easier for anyone to s

I've been noticing a lot of talk about BBEdit lately and am having a hard time finding what features might set it apart from apps like Textmate or VIM. Are there any features that aren't in other editors that I'm just missing? Two of my co

I'm not really surprised, I went through Josh Waitzkin's chessmaster tutorials, and one thing that stuck out was him talking about how his coach had him focus on the mid- an end-game, and hardly any on openings. The idea I think is that by

I was in nearly the same position as you around this time last year. It was tough and exhausting for a while until I wasn't learning as much throughout the day. You'll get back to a point where you have the energy to come home at the end

Good point, hadn't thought of that - and I imagine the job description would probably drop some hints that you wouldn't be using any external libs, no?

Ah, yeah I missed that on my first read through. I guess I'm still interested to see if that is still part of the interview process at a lot of places.

Is it really necessary to expect a front end developer to have complete knowledge of manipulating the DOM without jQuery (or one of the other libraries)? I'm definitely capable of reminding myself of it, since that is what I learned when I

I really like reading blog posts on this topic. The "greatest hack" question on the YC app always made me hesitate because I don't really think of anything I do as "hacking". It is good to see different categories of hacks to get an idea of
