A large number of people at Stripe (I want to say more than half, but that might be wrong) dropped out of college or didn't go at all. Given that a bigger portion of our peers outside Stripe do have college degrees, I think that suggests

heh, I didn't think anyone would actually use that - I originally wrote it meaning to use it as a tutorial for the blog post, then scrapped that idea. Thanks for the kind words!

Alum from the third batch here. In the hopes that I can convince someone else to apply, my story: I applied to hacker school, on a whim, while I was working on a php app at an advertising company in Boston. I didn't think I would get in, an

I don't see how this attack would work on SPDY, unless you could add arbitrary headers to the request. CRIME works because the entire request is compressed together, whereas in SPDY the header block is compressed separately.

I think it could be a bit more declarative.

That last language is REALLY concise.

Some really clever tricks here. I particularly like the __getitem__ one. I'm simultaneously excited and filled with horror. =)

Don't let that stop you from applying, if you haven't already!

As others have said, there really is none. As long as you can do fizzbuzz, what they care about is a desire to learn, not your experience.

I'm also in the current batch of hacker school. It's been a humongously, life-changingly fantastic experience. Before I did hacker school, I thought I was a good programmer. But being in a room with 20 incredibly smart people really makes y

Next up: compile a JVM and run the game within the game??? Joking aside, what are some scripting languages with tiny interpreters that could feasibly compile eventually?

I agree that before monkeypatching, a team should weigh their options. But for many projects, "fixing the socket libraries" could be a lot of work, or not an option at all. In the example I gave, you'd have to rewrite whatever database driv

It makes sense in certain situations. For example, if you're using non-blocking i/o with an event loop (using gevent or similar) then as soon as you have one blocking operation, performance suffers dramatically. Monkeypatching gevent's sock

I was playing around and did something similar with video encoding. The server code starts a running ffmpeg process, and then the handler code just looks like this: server = http.createServer(function(request, response) { requ
