This is nice, but just by reading the title I thought "wasn't there a few sites doing this already?" The top one coming to my mind at the time being (which I'm surprised to not see in this thread already, considering the

Giggles is not exactly the right word. I didn't make it just to see if I could pass or take a piss at someone. I don't think anything is a better practice than an actual interview. Doing a rehearsal or workshops won't compare

I agree it's frustrating - and I've been on both sides of that fence - but still... it always puzzles me when someone seems to get worked up over the fact they didn't seem to get the callback they expected even though they h

Thanks for pointing it out. When I reached the homepage late last night, honestly I wasn't going to give it much thought. The code snippet seemed uninteresting and to lack anything original, the pitch wasn't really selling much, a

This is pretty awesome! Just one thought though... The starter screen is a bit complicated. (Talking only about the web version, haven't tried the phone apps) I was just thinking my parents would love this game as Klondike and FreeCell

Most evil-feeling OS experience ever. Impressive, if only for that.

The French company behind XWiki did something like this called eXoplatform [1] and WebOS more than 10 years ago. Can't put my finger on screenshots or videos now but they must be lying around. Still impressive, especially with the smal

This will be an unlikely HN entry, but as there was not pre-requirement, I thoroughly enjoyed a French book named "Peste et Cholera" by Patrick Deville, about Alexandre Yersin [1]. Yersin is mostly known for identified the bacillu

It might be easy in some case to mistake "sloppy" for "pioneering". It's harder to defend yourself and cover your tracks when you're one of the firsts to actually have been there and done that. I think the nota

I don't remember this being an issue. Maybe you are thinking of ExtGWT (now GXT)? If I recall, the problem was more about ExtJS using overly complicated DOM structures to build its widgets than about the barebones GWT components themse

I'm not sure I would consider it on the rise or a recent trend, considering we had a all sorts of these things over the past 6-7 years already (and more, if you include other JVM languages in the mix). It sure is nice to see a bit of c

Indeed. I studied in China for a year (in 2005) and I remember that amongst the recommendations for travelers, one was to avoid showing your travel guides - or at least the maps - as most would raise eyebrows. I remember covering Taiwan on

Well there's quite a lot of research going into creating anti-venoms for stuff that kill only a (relative) few per year. For instance, see: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-34513177 (which I may have come a

Interesting. Not wanting to put words in your mouth, but that sounds like trying to impose a vegan lifestyle (for the record: I'm vegetarian and mostly vegan now) to the animal kingdom. I can understand part of the sentiment, but I&#x2

You could be right, but on the other hand you see to rely only on assumptions as to what comes from the genetics of each species and which bits are going to be retained. It's not like Dingos in Australia are extremely dangerous for ins

Right, I didn't word that part very well indeed. You still have to retain the original license in any case but it only covers that particular bit of code. Any product you create built on a MIT component can be licensed as you pleased.

Derivatives absolutely don't have to be MIT as well. MIT/X11 is not viral. It only requires attribution, but you are free to modify, redistribute and even commercialize as you like, and to re-license your derivative work, as long

Sure, but I think what ckozlowski was saying is that even though these particular users may have no value in themselves and their (lack of) discourse, they bring attention of other well-mannered users that then get into intelligent discours

I remember the whole debate over Go's naming very well. There was even at some point a request to rename the language "Issue9" after this thread :) I supposed it resurged now because of the migration from code.google.com to g

I don't know... They interviewed me 5 times, and I don't mind so much. It's a bit frustrating, but I can understand why. Sure there were a few cases of "oops, didn't realize we interviewed you already" and I&#x

It's not a great analogy indeed. However, you also don't provide much proof that "surveillance is an essential tool in fighting crime". Its efficiency to deter/prevent crime, or even to help catch offenders a poster

Well, you know what, I actually realized that there's no timing info in the recorded data. So, no problem. I jumped the gun quite a bit. Still, a bit worrysome, because it could easily be modified to track it. And for all we know, some

I think you've got it confused with some implementations of EtherPad. At least I know I've seen it there, but I don't recall seeing it in Google Docs.
