Funny, I don't see coding ability, distributed systems, or algorithms anywhere in the exam spec, which is what most engineering teams actually interview on. Also, though I've been an "engineer" for the past five years,

Getting into YC does not solve the problem cdixon outlined. Most startups still fail. Sure if you spent 3 months at YC and then left you have credentials. What about the next 1-5 years you spent toiling away to make your startup work with

Architecture to name one of many. Some of the best American architects built many buildings, apartments, and skyscrapers in Chicago. The Chicago skyline is a wondrous thing. It can't be compared.

Love to read an article on this topic written from the viewpoint of a young person instead of a 50 year-old who was raised in a period of enormous economic growth. Perhaps some young people are not "slouches", but are actually logical and

It goes much farther back than that... Akademeia was literally the name of the grove where Plato started his Akademeia in 350 BC. Plato took these ideas of an ascetic brotherhood of ideas/mathematics from Pythagoras. No one knows exactly h

I like the concept, but why does this map http addresses ( http://server.com ) to ip addresses? Why not instead have a table of ips and domains (like /etc/hosts) so you can then just sync the freedom.txt file into your hosts file? That's

Feels like a speeding locomotive rushing through my brain, while you're fully aware of the roaring fury of it and yet totally paralyzed. I can't even open my eyes. When I was 17 I'd get them quite often. One time in that period, my experi

I wonder if Amazon will do a trade-in program when the Kindle Fire 2 comes out for unhappy Fire owners. It's just the kind of crazy customer experience turn-around I could see Amazon doing.

Couldn't you periodically poll the Clojure runtime for votes instead of processing logs? I thought Clojure made stuff like reporting easy. Just curious as someone new (1 day in) to Clojure.

This is pretty interesting. How many original lurepets were there initially, and how many are there now? Do they die?

Sure let's speculate they have a function that returns a guessed gps coordinate at time t. Again there are dumb implementations for this. Can take a time decaying and time-of-day/day-of-week weighted mode of your recognized locations. I ima
