I started using SalaryFairy after seeing your link here -- nice site! I understand the "collective intelligence" angle you're going for. However, the way SalaryFairy is implemented seems to "taint" the collective in

No need for that word in the headline.

Personally I find the "hip" use of curse words a red flag for working with a company. If you can't even be professional on your external-facing site, it's a certainty that I'll have to put up with much worse unprofe

This was a fun read and great hack. Thanks for sharing.

The headline isn't really what this article is about, particularly the disparaging of Optimizely. Might I suggest "The dangers of naive A/B testing" or "Buyer beware -- A/B methodologies dissected" or &quo

This UI would make a fantastic database admin interface. If this were a JavaScript library that let me use MySQL/PostgreSQL on the back-end, I would be the first to buy a license, even if pricey. I could even live with a reduced featur

Purple is blue+red, so my son who has a very common color deficiency can't tell purple from blue at all. They look completely the same to him.

"Security 101" isn't all that relevant when you actually understand the threat vectors. If you can't create a clean, isolated, snapshot'd VM for this sort of playing, you have no business applying for this sort of j

Site appears to be hammered -- no algorithms are showing up for me either, and search isn't returning. Google returns http://www.algomation.com/algorithm/quick-sort-visualization as an example URL, but it's n

This is exactly what always bothers me in time travel movies. You never hear about the poor time traveler who got the calculation slightly wrong and ended up deep in space or inside of a mountain.

Nice! I could see myself using something like this. Personally, I'd tweak the rankings a bit -- right now, all of the reddit posts are above the more-interesting HN articles. For me, an article with 100 points and 40 comments on HN is

Sure, if you define "words" as a binary "did you see lights?" question. See jawns comment for what this study was actually about; certainly not the transmission of actual words. Deceptive headline and article. EDIT: Afte

The lack of unconditional love is such a weird concept to me. At least in my case, it's not revocable; I couldn't stop loving them even if I wanted to. And yes, that includes your hypothetical extreme example. My children will sti

I like the purple on your orangepeel link a lot better than the OP's.

Actually, that's exactly where the video lost me. A few additional shell capabilities? I'm interested -- cool! But throw in a database editor and a million other unrelated-to-the-shell features? I've been down that road befor

For me, my eyes can't easily scan the text in this font, making it much slower to read. It's a very frustrating experience when I'm interested in the article itself, but it's literally fighting me as I try to get informa

Useful article for pruning merged branches, but this title is misleading and link-bait. The actual title on the blog post is "Cleaning Up Git Branches", which is much more appropriate for an article that uses 5 commands including

I also recommend choosing a more standard font. Personally, I left the site after trying to read the article and finding it a quite unpleasant experience to try to read.

When I'm hiring, attention to detail is huge, particularly on the technical side of things. The very first image on the personal site shows badly aligned PHP code (the if statement isn't aligned with the assignment above it). I wo

Yep, I can relate. I was born in '78 and grew up on a farm. Please, have kids and raise them reasonably according to your own standards, not the nanny-state's. If we don't defend personal freedom, who will?

I hope the reason that this story is popular is that we as a society agree it's absurd. Leaving a child in a locked car in the situation described is perfectly acceptable. The police getting involved is ridiculous, which makes it a gre
