At the moment, the position has only been posted to HN, though it should be up on the site and other job boards today. It just opened up, so I was eager to get it posted in this thread.

Not really like node, no. The node http module is part of the standard library and you can use it to build a custom web server. The php web server is built into the php binary, and you can use it to serve up some portion of your filesyste

While by no means a definitive system, the order in which they're listed within each section tends to reflect their maturity to a degree (at least amongst the top few in each section).

I believe "removes the top 1 million most popular websites" means that they nix search results from the million most trafficked domains on the web as a whole rather than simply the top million results for a specific search. I dou

Using pull requests as your code review doesn't force you to not run the code. My team uses forks of upstream repos and all merges upstream happen via a PR that is peer reviewed. It isn't uncommon for us to pull down the changes

The release is ready to go for bower as of a few hours ago. Just use 1.2.x in your bower.json and it'll install the latest 1.2 release (which is this release candidate, currently). The same goes for angular-resource, angular-cookie, a

Carbon dating is actually only effective up to about 50,000 years, so its really only ideal for tracking human history after we started migrating out of Africa. This is because the unstable carbon-14 isotope only has a half-life of about 5

To give you some sense of how "local" 60 miles can be in the US, I live a more urban life style than most people in the US (although likely less than most people on this board), but I frequently drive 60 miles simply to have dinner with fri

Yes. Edit: Especially given my short response, I think it is important to reiterate how much I am not a lawyer.

What in particular do you think makes them vulnerable to a lawsuit? I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is that in the US, it is legal to fire most non-contract employees at any time, without any notice, and for pretty much any reason

If your submenu is extending from a link in the middle of the parent list, you don't want the current submenu to disappear if your mouse tracks across the corner of the link above or below the intended. Consider this: The link A |

It could be the opposite. Wells Fargo has a lot of different apps that need to authenticate and integrate with their identity management/sso system. It is near-trivial to implement this sort of thing, but it isn't necessarily trivial to m

I think I interpreted Wheaton's post in a different way than you did. To me, the author didn't seem to make any bold claims about effects this would have, and he also did not give me the impression that he was an authority on the subject.

For anyone that is coming to SockJS directly from socket.io, I've built an event system on top of SockJS that has a similar API to socket.io. It's called ChuckT, and [like SockJS] it has both a client and server-side component. Client: ht

I find this story extremely tragic -- not because this man's company, his dreams, failed so tremendously, but that he allowed two fundamental aspects of his adult life to fail with it. Is it the prevailing opinion in the startup community t

I always found take-home exams to be the hardest exams I ever took, and I think they most accurately test a person's depth of knowledge about a subject. The problem with in-class exams is that they often reward test-taking and memorization

I really dig the simplicity of the process. I love that the entire top of the homepage not only shows exactly what you offer, but it is, essentially, your entire user-facing product. The price point is a little high compared to normal cus

I'm not sure what to make of this article. I think we can all get behind the idea that the ongoing "which framework is better" debate is often pretty ridiculous. Different frameworks are clearly better suited for different tasks. But I can

While this may very well be a problem within the startup community, I don't think this is a problem specific to nor originating in the startup community. Pizza, caffeine, desserts, beer -- these are all things that are easy to come across

Pay close attention to the "status" listed under each header. Some of these features have already landed in master, and others are still in various states of proposal. The author links to the official RFC for most of the proposed features

I'm a little surprised by all of the anti-VC sentiment in this thread so far, especially from this community. I'm perhaps even more surprised by the "what do they need 100 million dollars" sentiment that is being floated around. Github is

For the record, it is trivial to change PHPass to use $2y$ instead of $2a$. That said, this does require extending the PHPass class, so it is not ideal. Still, it would be better to extend or modify the class than it would be to simply tr

This sounds like a reasonable addition to your security arsenal, and it should help to ensure that your own app is not being abused to brute-force your users' passwords. However, it doesn't provide you any protection if your database is co

Whenever I think about "risk" in starting your own business, my mind always wonders to health insurance (living in the US). Individual health insurance is of course an option, but many of the legal protections that are in place for group h
