Yea I was surprised to see this response. I totally sympathized with him. I totally glossed over the part where he was boastful. I think the response he got, and responded too, had more to do with the article being more popular than he's e

I would actually recommend Wiki (specifically wikimedia) software for this doing this. It can act very much like a blog, but also brings along features of many Knowledgebases, like versioning of information. Sometimes problems evolve, and

I applied for a job posting at Khan Academy and ran into exactly this kind of interview. It shows absolutely nothing about me other than I am not a good test taker, and without incrementally debugging my programs I am a fairly worthless pro

I would love to see an example of a large project in another language besides python, that uses frequent cases of non-pythonic indentation. Sure, there are certain edge cases when I wish I could represent something all in one line, or somet

As someone who lives in a small remote city, and is broke and really cant consider moving right now, the thought of less job opportunities out there in other states at good companies that would allow me to work remotely really discourages m

I agree. Lots of people seem skeptical about Angular. And it can be hard to wrap your head around. It prescribes a lot of things in terms of how your application is structured. Some people come just looking to use one specific feature o

I do agree, but also feel like ANYTHING AT ALL to encourage more women to join in on things like this is a good thing. Sometimes people need a sense of competition to step up to the plate. But yea... This is a little too close to being dis

Just wanted to point out this article recommends "ZzzQuil" Do not buy ZzzQuil. It is nothing more than Benadryl packaged as a sleep aid, with the price marked up. You can get generic Benadryl for waaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper. They are the ex

Its all about multiplayer and the social aspects. If you're playing a single player world, sure it can lose its appeal pretty quickly. But sharing your creations with your friends... walking them through something you just built... or going

What this sounds like to me, is SodaStream is likely owned as some tiny subsidary of coke or pepsi already, or is secretly in talks of being absorbed, and this is all a 'manufactured outrage virial marketing campaign'

I dont think there is a chance in hell that it'd be a Linux exclusive but if it's on Linux at launch, that would still be HUGE.

I found this to be the most interesting, and infurating part. A true testimate to 'the system's' reactionary ignorance. This part pertains to PROBATION, after already being released from prison: As a hacker you may find that your access to

not necessarily true, depth and focus become an issue. Even with a bigger screen, you still need to know exactly where the eye is looking to provide proper focus on the screens. If you've been following what John Carmack has been doing wit

Where do I apply? I have at least 3 side projects in the oven, but definitely am in a dire financial situation currently. This sort of thing sounds right up my alley. I imagine competition is going to be steep though?

You misinterpreted my comment. I agree, the language is largely inconsequential. Its the culture around the language that is the problem. Ruby's is particularly bad. All I'm saying is the "1000 ways todo the same thing" nature of Ruby, h

>why isn't there more of a focus on security here? Because this is ruby we're talking about. A "Fun" language that has 100000 ways todo the same thing, so newbs find it fun and easy. You can almost guess how the language works and alm

Yea I couldnt believe that when I read it. Once you got past all the requirements these 'ads' would have to adhear to, to not be distracting or dangerous, it becomes a pretty limp form of advertising. The reason people own nice dash-systems

Reddit aint what it used to be. Tech oriented users are exiling to other places, including here. People are disappointed with the current featureset. I smell opportunity for someone.

I do imagine thats a huge part of it. Combine that with the fact that if you target Valve's hardware, you're also targeting a pretty decent sized cross section of Linux PC's as well, and you've got yourself a recipe for better than what th

True, still, careless on Vice's behalf none the less. You'd think Vice would have some interest in protecting sources, I can remember them trying to pass for 'journalism' at least a few times. Why doesnt Vice's website CMS strip exif data f

This is vice we're talking about. That would be welcome publicity to them. I'm just glad (yea, i'm rooting for McAfee) McAfee seems to be aware of the situation. Whether or not he's bluffing about the exif data being edited, at least he k
