But after you get (or got already?) substantial income, I think you should buy them a beer, at least.

It is good for viewing, but not for producing, I think. You can compare LateX vs MathML examples on that page. MathML xml is not something you can type as quickly and easily.

Actually, when I did accidentally reposted something, I was redirected to the original HN post, and automatically upvoted it. This happened several times. Not sure, maybe there is some time threshold... EDIT: Apparently there is :) as it wa

I think no. Can you as easily type e.g. math formulas in HTML5 as in LaTex, in the plain text editor?

In the first place, why should you have huge XML files? (Except those wikipedia dump files :))

One thing to remember - it is a 1 hour break, not a 25-30 min lunch break. Just eating is not sufficient for the brain. You also need to take a walk, breath a fresh air, etc... You should just forget the office for a 1 hour.

iosbuildenv looks interesting, but it doesn't come with a simulator. You can only see the actual running app on the device.

Just to clarify, it is a common misconception in the "western" world to associate USSR with Russians. There were many different nations in USSR.

Very interesting project indeed. Does someone with an expertise in C++ but with a basic knowledge of OpenGL qualify for the "C++/OpenGL Developers" position? Plus a good knowledge of C# and LAMP development (but I'm looking for a C++ centri

I've never been on the other(interviewer) side of the hiring process and I was on another side only once during the last decade, so I might not have enough insight, but I really don't understand non-coding coders filtering per se, be it you

I agree. In OSS philosophy, the only way to make money and stay "good" is to work on some company or through ads or providing other non-programming services. So it discourages indie/shareware model of making money through programming - the

Yes, that is already on my list, after I complete the compilers class from Coursera. Although the bad side of these kind of courses is that not all of the domains are interesting to everyone, e.g. I almost fell in sleep when Norvig talked a

I wish lecture notes and videos were available for this course...

Actually, for freelancers it is more accessible and less risk to use illegal copies than for companies. Mostly, freelancers are producing sources for the concrete client, they aren't selling/shipping the binaries directly, so no one cares w

I got an impression that author is looking for the specific experience that his company needs at the moment - this is OK for quick contract or one-shot jobs, but in general, I think it is quite short sighted. I wouldn't favor someone becaus

Could someone point out, what is the reasoning of putting types after variable names? i.e. why not `int i` instead of `var i int` ?

I should have put it as "programmability", and I not only address this particular post, but the tendency in general.

Hackathons are good demonstration of some underlying reasons why non-software engineers hesitate to call us engineers as well :) Would you live in a house built during a "civil-engineerathon"?

Well, it might be cool for the first several times, to demonstrate turing-completeness of CSS3, but are there any practical advantages over using js?

This is great of course, but I'd be more happy to see the actual PDF renderer with a more permissive license than GPL.

Well, I only boot my home/work computer once a day. I only do hibernate/dehibernate during the day, which is quite fast.

I have several points/cases regarding inability to come up with a KMP like algorithm: 1. Fresh CS graduate from the top university (MIT, ETH, Stanford, etc..) - I agree, it is a bad sign. 2. Mid/late career professional - I disagree. 3. Sel

FizzBuzz is OK for quick filtering, but asking to come up with an efficient substring search algorithm ([1] or similar) on the spot, assuming that one doesn't know this algorithm a priori (and many good programmers don't), for which, scient

For me, just couple of queries was enough to see that results were bad.
