One could argue that Facebook's hiring spree enabled them to scale and further handle large amounts of users and photos. Is this a total waste to society? Could the Arab spring have happened without such social tools? Is the world a bette

I had the Facebook app for Android before they split it into 3. The version just before the split was unstable for uploading photos. It was consistently crashing whenever I tried to upload a photo. I'm not sure what was the source of the

I would add onto this: there is a grey area between persistent constructive dissatisfaction and persistent destructive dissatisfaction. You can't really know when you're pushing yourself so hard that you'll burn out.

Your boss must be a good developer right? So he should be able to manually go through the code of 25 developers and know what changes are going to affect everything else. If that seems naive, stupid or obviously unreasonable, this is what

I was indeed choosing a conservative number so there wouldn't be much of a counterargument about the 10k value aspect. My point was mainly that 10k for a 6 month vested tech hire is something other tech companies pay to non employees.

What I learned earlier this year is that tech recruiters get paid a flat fee for their services, plus a percentage of the recruitee's salary after some vesting period, usually 6 months. From what I heard, that percentage was between 15-25

In that same vein: It was the company's responsibility (too) that there was no database backup when he wiped it. It will be the company's responsibility when the referred employee hears about this and has a diminished reputation of the comp

So to design a better controlled experiment, the OP should write a statistically significant number of emails (>100...maybe 1000+) without sending them. An app should perform a double-blind study by randomly choosing half those emails

I think I'd be able to get the idea of your questions using Google translate--but the link helps too. Thanks!

I, too would like to see this form. It would provide a lot of guidance for my company. We're knee deep in the consequences of scope creep right now.

But there are phonetic similarities with characters that share the same right-radical. I can honestly say that many intermediate-level characters were easier for me to learn because I knew 2 things: they followed the pattern of symbolic-ra

I grew up in a Mandarin speaking household failing to learn Chinese when my parents tried forcing me to. I forced myself to learn in college for personal reasons. Oftentimes, this was hard, really hard. Having said all that, this page was

I have to say that I feel like Rails' ORM does a magnificent job of saving me time. Migrations allow me to write database changes that can be undone more easily. An ORM also seems to lower the amount of configuration it takes to get develo

The finance industry tends to offer way more for people with a strong technical background to do quantitative analysis work. To use real world examples, no amount of money you offer Salman Khan now would pull him away from his non-profit Kh

But all the things available in a top-of-the-line smartphone were already available in a laptop. The only difference is that you don't need to pull it out of your backpack. It's just a small improvement if you're into that kind of thing.

I had the same feeling. I actually switched over to a wheel mouse because I tried using this on an Apple touchpad and it was not a happy animation. I'm pretty forgiving about the smoothness though. Scroll pages like this are still uncommon

We're looking into integration-level testing for our Javascript since it'd give us full coverage of the bugs we see. I forgot to mention we also use Socket.io for real time push updates to user Backbone models. A good number of bugs don't

I'm working on a single page app that's about 30% Rails and 70% Coffeescript/Backbone.js. Test::Unit is practically useless for us since users never hit any plain HTML pages besides the login page. Imagine the current HTML5 Pandora having

Even if you had this 'lossy' tracking method for users, you can still deduce that the 'new' user generated by a browser is a potential match of the old user agent info with a certain probability. More than likely, only the browser version w

No offense to your original statement, what you said makes sense--the link was mislabeled in a common way. I just want to point to this comment and its children as the reason that HN should have comment thread collapsing. There's no reason
