It matters. Stackoverflow runs a careers platform and ranks users based on their scores. It's opt-in but if you place yourself in there, you'll start getting some calls from recruiters looking for python people. A gold badge is wo

This looks awesome! Do you have bounce handling built into this?

Our profile capture does not require applicants to include their demographic information, hence the only way we've been able to easily split by gender is by identifying their profile images and names. Of course, outcomes have shown tha

This is an interesting approach. We will probably try it in the future but at the moment feedback says that candidates almost always want more information (more about the company, more about the people they'd be working with, more abou

We (www.gapjumpers.me) are trying to solve the gender diversity issue in tech by using blind auditions as a first filter. Our data shows that blind auditions result in greater diversity numbers. By using a technical challenge as the first s

No, I'm not Canadian living in Canada but I'm sure they have deposit options (local banks) in Canada. I have used it to convert small amounts of money before. My email address is in my profile if you want to get in touch with more

Interactive Brokers is your own brokerage account, they are a regulated broker that offers Forex in addition to the other stuff (stocks, options, etc.). I'm not 100% sure on the fees but they are not even close to 0.3% for forex. It&#x

Why not just use a forex broker instead? Better rates, lower spreads, and higher liquidity. I would personally recommend Interactive Brokers.

Yup, I'm having trouble with it. Sometimes comes up partially, other times it's just unable to load.

No need to downvote if you just disagree, that's not how HN is supposed to work :( It appears that you are using a different meaning for revenue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenue Revenue normally refers to top

He could mean net revenue for the retailer as in profit. I don't think these phones would have a margin much greater than $20-$25 ?

This is one of the most brilliant pieces I've ever read about programming. It's funny and really manages to capture the frustrations a programmer faces through the days, months, and years with his relationship with code. I guess w

I've been using nginx+memcached for about 2 years on a high traffic site in production. It's been pretty great and runs without a hiccup. However bear in mind that Varnish is far more capable as nginx's memcached integration

Seconded. I've used KISSmetrics for this exact use case. There's a bit of groundwork required to setup 'events' but once that's done they will track every user and you can see how the user ended up using your app.

I don't understand. Did you not have company equity in your name? As far as I understand, it would be impossible to acquire the company, its patents, and associated technology without proper paperwork?

I find your story incredibly inspiring! What happened in Tibet ? Also, the fact that you and your wife run your business(es) together is something we have in common. Am going to drop you an email!

I'd say I'm a mix of entrepreneur and developer for hire. But I haven't done contract work for a while now. I've also worked fulltime in a programming role for about a year and a half in the past at a fast growing startu

This is ultra important! I can't even begin to count the number of times I've come across great open source projects with ZERO documentation. I tend to read the code (if the project is in a language I know well..) but that's

It's quite unlikely that someone who orders a 1000 burgers is actually going to eat them. I can't picture myself eating 1000 of the same kind of burger .. or in the same place.. I guess most people would eat 200 burgers (I'd

This is just going to be terribly bad for the original authors and great for everyone else. The MAFIAA will look to set a 'don't ever try this again' kind of example and the original team will take the fall. Sort of like TPB

Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis games are amongst by favorite games of all time. It's probably because I had a NES and playing SNES or Genesis at a friend's place had such a huge 'WOW' factor for me. The games were so sm

You could try using RPG Maker to create it. A lot of people made stuff for PSX back in the day like that. Not as cool/hard as making an entire game on your own but still something. http://www.emuparadise.me/Sony_Playsta

Why do decent people accept bitcoins ? Because they see value in it. The whole article goes on to paint every single bitcoin user as a criminal of some sort while completely ignoring the fact that the title itself is a glaring contradiction

How did you move to Amsterdam ? Is it like fulltime work or did you sponsor yourself with an EU Blue Card ? I'm always interested in learning about the various possibilities engineers have around the world! :)

I just want to clarify that this is nowhere close to the average salary a dev earns in India (a decent developer can make anywhere between $400/mo to $3000/mo). I'm not sure what company he's working for but it sounds li

Wow, they just paid 105k in salaries in the last year? Now that explains all the gross incompetence. Subcontracting expenses... Not sure what that means..

That page works for me but same thing - once the game loaded, I couldn't interact with it. Firefox 27.0.1 on Mac OS X.
