While i agree that beautiful does come in no small part from the "mechanics of how things work" there's NO WAY TO KNOW that you've done that from the site. It's a static screenshot. To be honest the screenshot's a bit... simple and plain. N

Personally, I'm opposed to working at a company that thinks a bait and switch type approach to attracting employees is an appropriate tactic. There are many ways the headline could have been worded that would have enticed with paid travel i

How important testing is to them. Many "agile" companies don't actually incorporate testing in any meaningful way.

it's probably not sending out from your e-mail client. All you see in the promo are input fields. Those could very easily be in an app / site which has authenticated you, and the e-mail itself is probably just the notification of the transa

It's good for design inspiration, but frustrating to look at because I keep going "ooh, what's that?" and there's no information about what you're looking at or how to find out more.

that's not a problem with this proposal. All pull requests approved by the community end up in a non-master branch. The officially sanctioned version (master ) would remain untouched until the maintainer merged in the community changes.

Also, without something like the proposed citizenship with karma points and such, there's no good way for an automated system to suggest someone to turn it over to .

I've had the same problem and have an oddly related problem. I have a really good contributor to one of my projects. The only way I can get in touch with him is via github issues. There's nothing in his profile that'll let me get contact hi

"We let you send first and upload later.".... which is to say, you can't actually upload faster (no installed software is going to give me more upstream bandwidth). They just let you prep the e-mail that will get fired off when it does even

I look for relevant experience, personality, and problem solving skills. I start off with questions that'll get me an insight into the person then I give them a written problem that'll take them 10+ minutes to answer. I want to see them wor

I agree with the points about the "about" screen being much more clear as to what you do than the front page, and that the styling on the maps is horrible... really REALLY don't like looking at it.

It's an indication to scroll to the right that masquerades as link to see more, then leaves you annoyed that it didn't work if you're actually foolish enough to try and click on a link to see more wee little people icons.

They don't seem to actually get any smaller (faux perspective) as they scroll up, they just scroll up and fade out... :/

I've read for piano, bass guitar, flute, and now ukulele. I can read treble clef, and bass clef just fine, but stick them together as you do for piano and my brain has a conniption. The exact same figure at the exact same place on each staf

so, let me translate that: I've realized that password security is important, but instead of using any of the myriad password management tools out there I've decided to stop signing up for new things on the web. Please compensate for my lac

The demo is probably running on a free heroku instance which means a single thread on an itsy-bitsy EC2 instance. At the top of HN we're talking at least 500 concurrent visitors... on a single thread.

Yeah, many places will offer you exclusions on pre-existing work and offer you the ability to add to the list of excluded works later on. As long as you're not working on anything that's competitive they're usually fine with it. I won't tak

incredibly misleading title. This wasn't even close to an A/B test. Correlation != Causation Repeat until understood and unforgettable.

my first thought was "Cool! Damn, not markdown." Security issues aside I think you'd addressed the use case for the "common man" well. I (and I think many of the geeks here) would prefer a markdown variant though. No selecting and clicking

I find that any skill that provides me with additional option when performing common tasks is "useful" to some degree. re LEDs for standing out: i did say "within the context of social norms" re "dedication to ~something~" I never said, or

Please provide reasons why I should consider suspenders. To date I have seen little evidence of suspenders being fashionable, or particularly good looking. I am open to the possibility.

I'll take those associations over "yet another developer" any day of the week. A developer who reminds me of [anyone in that list] is going to stick out in the interviewers mind. Hopefully the interviee demonstrate the skills and decorum to

Actually, no. Your mind reading skills need improvement. It was posted because I happen to like bow ties and find that they are neither trendy, nor something anyone particularly wants to wear here in Boston. As such I felt it might be benef

So, you're suggesting that Sir Winston Churchill looked "like a tool"? There are many individuals over the years, who have looked very stylish in a bow tie. As @mberning points out with his image, the fact that some people look like tools

at no point was it suggested that the bow tie was the most important thing you could do. As @troutwine suggested, being clean and hygenic, and having manners goes a long way, and I would argue are all far more important than what tie (if an

The skill to tie a bow tie is indicative of ones willingness to learn skills that are not necessarily "essential" but are still useful. You're right that odd does not translate into spending extra time for an interview, but it does translat
