A friend of mine was recently at gophercon and sent me this link: https://sourcegraph.com/blog/live/gophercon2015/123653512740 Writing a single shared library for different platforms makes sense. I think Goog

Please can people give examples of what they're using lambda for. Everything I've seen has been really basic (like image scaling), but most things I think of require a database.

I made a toy project once shortly after meteor had just been released. I just kept bricking myself that I'd overlook some security setting that would allow people to run arbitrary queries against my DB. When I also looked into scaling

The original maps used to look something similar to this, then that electrical engineer created the current version like an electrical circuit diagram. I think the current one is far more readable...

Genius! One of those simple ideas that makes you wonder why no one thought of it before.

I was wondering whether something like this existed for fish. Anyone know?

"The team notes that the idea here is not to replace JavaScript, by the way, but to allow many more languages to be compiled for the Web." Yeah, good luck with that. Ta ta Javascript :-)

People have been praising him a bit much recently after various governments have been reigning in the surveillance communities. I suspect this is a part of a campaign to keep public opinion against him. I expect as a security contractor, Sn

Interestingly some researchers believe that sex is determined due to hormones (rather than genes - i.e. it's not possible to create a breed that biases one sex more than another), and that there is a bias in animal (including human) po

Yes this was agreed on HN a few weeks ago. Maybe you missed the discussion "proposal for all new syntax to be HN markdown compatible"..? Try adding /s in your head and read again...

The only thing it's missing that I really need is secondary sorting... I wish they'd add that soon. I've read it can be done but it doesn't look straightforward.

10 years experience with big data and cloud? That doesn't really say much about the quality of a coder. These arbitrary metrics are pretty pointless IMHO. You can learn what you need to generally in around 1-3 years. Someone with 10 ye

Is stripe popular because it's cheaper than paypal and also doesn't have an API & payment flow that looks like a train wreck?

I hate how the little 'action dot' or whatever they call it moves around. On their colour palette video[1] you can see it sliding all over the place depending on the screen size. Why can't it just go in the top right like it

The more help the better on this one. I've spent the last week trying to debug why my job fails with a large dataset after 2 hours. I could see that the heap was being exhausted but it took me ages to realise that coalescing to a singl

I started asking it really so I could see examples of a candidate's code. Also seeing the projects they've contributed to would show that, for example, they genuinely were interested/engaged with whatever niche they were bein

Yeah there are definitely degrees of "active", but even one or two forks, or even submitting an issue to an active project demonstrate engagement that says a lot about someone.

Obviously anyone really good won't actually do the tests because they'll be offered a job by somewhere that doesn't do them before they get around to yours though, sooo... Personally I find the single best question is "w

Learned Optimism by Dr. Martin Seligman is well worth a read. It contains more details. There's a interesting experiment where he shows how dogs learn to be helpless. Fascinating.

Let's hope the oauth token you get back doesn't expire after you think you've finished! And then lets hope it doesn't also take you a day or so to have to learn oauth2client so you know which secret method you need to ca
