It's also possible that due to discrimination in the hiring market, their opportunity cost is lower.

There are other ways to get XSS bugs than bad html escaping. For example, if you redirect to a user-provided location, they can inject javascript and/or http headers.

I worked out of Pivotal's office for a few months. That sounds about right.

In some sense, it's what makes us unique. Is CS the only discipline that deals with recursion on a regular basis?

There's other schools besides MVC, including "component-oriented."

Selenium Remote Control lets you drive a real browser from the scripting language of your choice. xvfb let's you run headless. You really don't need anything else.

Search is about what the engine misses, not what it hits. If Google hits 99% and Bing 98%, in some sense, Google is twice as good. You wouldn't call 98% site uptime "basically 100%."

I can imagine a company that would say, "there's a chance of remission, therefore no-hire due to risk."

No, because there's billing, payroll, taxes, customer support, management, board meetings and a hundred other things that come with running a startup. We have to do what's best for the company, and that usually doesn't include taking a mon

It seems possible to me, but doubtful. Even contributing work worth a footnote in the wikipedia article about solving P =? NP would validate a lifetime of research to many people.

Let me clarify. You can't be in the Mission and not be within a five minute walk of BART. BART stations attract crazy homeless people, which kills the livability of the surrounding block. You can generally describe property value, livabil

1. Mission. Try to be near a park, and away from BART. 2. http://www.elementssf.com/ 3. Github drinkup. 4. Too general of a question.

Hi, I wrote Parsley. We (tectonic and I) also wrote an in-browser IDE, and a Javascript-driven web crawler that runs on headless Firefoxes on EC2. We wrote something similar to scraperwiki, that integrated a simpler version of the IDE. We

I like the idea of organizing and expanding the idea of "Anyone want to grab dinner before the concert?". At least you'd have stuff in common, and you'd avoid the feeling of desperation.

Anyone else not want to watch a video to see a checklist? Anyone kind enough to paste notes?

Are you more or less confused that the apple trackpad is sitting at number one? Actually, somewhere around a year ago, Hacker News became less "all startups, all the time" and more "news for nerds, startups featured."

Yeah, I'm not sure what the exactly correct formulation is. Your formulation may retain the spirit, but be more technically correct. I guess the important point is that I like to define free will as "the ability to make a decision faster t

by fizx 16y ago
I've thought of free-will as related to computational complexity. A complex (e.g. NP-hard) problem is one that cannot be solved by an algorithm significantly simpler than brute force. Analogously, a "free-willed" human's actions cannot be
