I had the opportunity to interview with Google. Overall it was a great learning experience, and demonstrated to me the skills and aptitudes required if I wanted to play with the "big boys". Regarding their interview questions, you either kn

Awesome stuff. Are these layout elements valid HTML & CSS (I'm too lazy to run it through a validator at the moment)? This is a great resource of commonly used web elements, kudos to you.

I remember watching a documentary a while back on how Hollywood screened and rated TV/film productions. It angered me to see that focus groups consisting mostly of soccer moms controlled our movie rating system & what we see on TV. This

Interesting, this article touches on an internal dispute that has been going on for quite some time within our industry: the fact that software engineering as a profession is rather "loosy-goosey", that is, the lack of any formal accreditat

This video is pretty graphic, I'm not even sure if it really belongs here on Hacker News. If it really is authentic, then it is horrifying that the Syrian military is still doing this to their own people. May justice be served.

The article presents a fair argument, but the title is obviously flame bait. Granted, I myself thought of setting up my own mail server, but the disadvantages quickly outweighed the benefits. If your argument is sheer privacy, unless you ar

Nice article, I second that programming is a way of life. Although I'm in my early 20's right out of college, I look forward to how much knowledge & experience I will amass, and the radical transformations this industry will go through,

Wow, looks promising, this would have made team/design projects much more manageable if I knew about it in college. I wonder though, does Upverter currently support low-level logic/CMOS circuit simulation? I know that's asking a lot out of

I don't mean to burst anyone's bubble here, but I was kind of disappointed that there was no "login with Facebook/OpenID button". I don't create new online accounts on a whim, and usually when someone tells me I must create a new account ju

Although I do not own a stock portfolio yet (it's on my financial to do list), I personally would be wary of owning Facebook stock at this moment or in the near future. People have been buzzing over a Facebook IPO for at least a year now, s

I'm personally interested in finding out what these people will be leveraging in order to emulate a prediction? Simple statistics of past page views, site page rank/number of back links, social media analytics, or a combination of these thi

Yep, there sure are. One rather famous individual is T. V. Raman, I believe who currently works at Google Research. It's amazing how far screen reading and other technologies for the visually impaired have come along, more of a reason for m
