Likewise for me, but with IRC. Though I suppose I should try asking on SO first to save myself the semi-public embarrassment ;)

Reminds me of Google's fabled interview process. And on that note, I find it very interesting that virtually all of these questions could be answered almost verbatim by Google or WolframAlpha.

Fascinating post, and very interesting, but I have to wonder... 45 seconds to restart Firefox? And just to clear the cache? Assuming he does that "hundreds" of times a day (say, 200), that's 2.5 hours a day just waiting for Firefox to spin

Just so everyone's clear, I am not the author of this blog post. I had replaced the I in the title with [He], but a. Mod must have annoyingly edited it out. I hope people realize that.

I mean, I don't really know what you call "normal". Is normal serving up a static blog? Is normal serving up non-realtime content? Is normal small scale? I don't know about you, but I don't really don't know what "normal" is anymore. Expres

Yes... it took me a while to realize that this was a very outdated article. (It hit me when I read about background indexing which was supposed to be coming in "1.3".. we're now on 2.2.2. A mod really ought to append a (2010) to this post t

Is anyone impressed else by how quickly and successfully* GitHub has been rolling out new features over the past few months? I think almost every one of their new features has in some way made my life a little easier. Kudos to the whole tea

Good read, but despite being a major proponent of Node.js and many of the ideals it seeks to embrace, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with calling Apache "archaic". It's not like IE6, which has objectively no redeeming value as a modern platfo

Great read, and some really clever explanations of Turing's work. While this wasn't mentioned in the post, I thought this seemed relevant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%27s_number This bit always blew my mind: "Graham's number is un

I remember learning this in my high school biology class a few years ago. I recall the limit as being 120 meters because of the force of gravity. Xylum and phloem... memories.

Yeah I'm really not sure what you're trying to say. He explictly set the z-index on the elements by editing the CSS. It wasn't the inherent act of editing the CSS that was the violation -- explicitly setting the z-index was.

I don't really want to add to the dogpile of comments explaining why you missed the point, but the blog post pretty clearly states what the criteria for the "challenge" were: "Here's the challenge: try to see if you can make the red <sp

At first I read that as altruistic , and I was going to agree. In fact, I think that's a more accurate statement than autistic... or perhaps just more optimistic.

Well after being frustrated by the lack of any real explanation on the home page, I did manage to fumble around on Google and find their actual "What is this" page. Still pretty vague, but they should definitely put some of this content o

I don't agree with the Douglas's interpreting an author's own writing of a TL;DR as answering the question of whether the author himself read it -- rather, it is pre-empting the question that might be asked by readers. While it is true that

I agree. Frankly, I would think that in his situation I would politely decline the phone and it's phonebook full of rules, and work to buy my own. Maybe that's the hidden lesson she was trying to teach him?

Well, if you're making an iPhone app or Mac app, then it's obvious. But I assume you meant specifically in the case of specifically non-Apple stuff... because they look better to more people (or at least most of us learned to buy into that

I've had a similar need in my app, which has been in use since 0.6. I ended up basically abusing child_process.fork() -- every call to a certain rather long-running, possibly exploding async function is made not from the main node.js proce

This looks great! I've come to really rely on the "closed clamshell mode" that was shown off last in the video -- Macs have had this for quite a while now. But it's always really great to see some work being done in this field. Kudos to the

This is old news -- the github repo hasn't been updated in a year and I haven't heard any news about it since then.

Except, as others have said, that is not what this article is saying at all. That said, your comment seems to imply that you just read the headline, and (perhaps understandably) didn't actually read the article. I've learned, especially on

Pretty laggy for me with chrome stable (my default browser) and my 2012 13'' MacBook Air. I suspect it was probably because there were half a dozen or so million-row tables -- some with complex graphics. But for basic tabular data, this loo
