Thanks for your post! It strikes me as an authoritative guide on the subject. Plenty of gems to take away. The section on negotiation tactics could also stand on its own, since those are useful in many other situations as well.

IntelliJ and all its relatives (PyCharm, WebStorm, PHPStorm, etc) have a plugin called "IdeaVim" which fits pretty well with all the usual Vim muscle memory while giving you the toolset of a rich IDE.

This talk is way too long and not very information dense. I jumped through it a little and liked what I saw, but I was wondering if anyone had a link to a white paper or an overview that could summarize the language features.

Typically the perpetrators in these cases will trickle the data out over a very long period of time, thus evading many alarm triggers.

I investigated Tableau. It seemed to be expensive and too Windows centric: Tableau Server and Desktop both require Windows (which we didn't want), and we couldn't use Tableau Cloud because we didn't want to expose our data o

This is one of the first solutions I've seen to the data analysis problem that I'd consider a real solution: the ease of use of spreadsheets but with the question answering power of a database. As one of my tasks at my previous jo

From the article, "Suppose that r and g are both fixed quantities which do not change over time." This is a straw man that I didn't get in the book. The idea I understood from Piketty is that whenever g is greater than r, _no

Prior to now, many of the approaches I'd seen targeted women specifically. The tactics listed in this article instead focus on trying to abstract out what could make a good developer _in the future_. This is elegant to me because it ap

Did you enter the pieces/recordings manually or does it automatically analyze the piece and score? Either way, it would be cool to see a writeup about how you implemented this.

They don't need to have that full money, however. They pay another company a typical interest rate between 3 and 5% to post that bond on their behalf. So you probably need less than $1M per year to fund those bonds. The bigger issue is that

Is there a blog post associated with this decision somewhere? Is my scenario of logging in with a Google account that uncommon? (just FYI, until this decision, HN had the most seamless signup procedure I've ever encountered on a website)

The problem is that California redefined the definition of "physical presence" to include affiliates. So not only would Amazon have to charge taxes on behalf of affiliates, but just by having affiliates in California they'd have to charge t

I agree with you, but I think the spirit of the article is to acknowledge the value of bitcoin as a technical solution to a problem we thought was simply unsolvable. It probably shouldn't have gone into the economic value of bitcoin specifi

This is a short-sighted analysis. Microsoft doesn't only make money from the Windows Phone licenses it sells. It makes money from advertising in apps, people using Bing, etc. Unfortunately an outside-in analysis of that is more difficult.

First of all, I've wanted to write a post like the OP's blog post for a while, but haven't gotten to it. Mine was going to include more math about deflationary spirals. It seems that most commenters here are nitpicking the OP's individual p

One of the commenters on Quora linked to an academic paper providing a solution to this problem. It was apparently published in ACL-HLT this year. http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/brun/pubs/pubs/Kiddon11.p... Enjoy. It's easily the most
