Is there any chance of this being released to the public? ...or even a chance of you sending me a copy (which of course I would keep to myself!)

While this is an interesting way of comparing, I'd be slightly worried if I were applying to law school. Given that you have a limited amount of time to write your LSAT essay, and an essentially unlimited amount of time to write and polish

I'd also argue that with all the major names leaving recently, you don't want another major name leaving you and bringing the morale down. That alone might be worth $3.5 million.

This was incredibly well done, but it appears that the webhosting account was just suspended.

Interesting, I actually didn't like Woz's all that much. I know a lot of the story so it wasn't all that new to me and I found his style of story telling to be rather dry. Out of curiosity, what makes you like it so much?

Founders at Work It's been on my 'to-read' list for awhile, finally got around to reading it. Really enjoying seeing into the origins of a lot of the big companies these days, and how that shaped what they do today.

There is a high learning curve associated with it, but this is your resume. When the person is looking at it, they may have no other information on you as of yet, meaning this right here, is your first impression. If I can spend twice the e

The main point of creating his resume with Markdown seems to be the ability to store it in version control, and hold the whole thing in a plain text file. While a resume done in Markdown seems like an interesting idea (and I may end up writ

In the US, asking who someone who they're going to vote for is still taboo (at least in my opinion), they're just more likely to tell you their political stance. Plus, it's pretty easy to determine based on any number of things (do they tal

I know this is probably a bit early for it, but is there any chance of internship positions being open for this coming summer?

Thanks again Greplin for putting this on! Like other people said, I had a blast doing this on a Friday night, and definitely would love to do it again (even without the possibility of a job :) ).

I actually had the option of using a few languages for my Data Structures/Algorithms class, and chose C. Granted, execution time was a competition and I'm a relatively competitive person by nature, so that influenced, but it really wasn't a

As a Junior in CSC right now, and while I have to say the speed of development in languages like Python and Ruby really appeals to me, I do enjoy C development as well. Unfortunately I usually have to optimize for development time rather th

As a young 20-something (20, actually, to be exact), I'd say that the best programmers I know still use the command line to a significant degree. Though we are small in number compared to the number of people who live in some IDE.

I haven't done it myself, but based on talking to a few of my friends that have, most agree it's an interesting idea, but that it wasn't really worth all the time it took, as it didn't really teach them all that much more than they already

Didn't Eric Schmidt say they'd know what you want even before you did? So no thinking required!

I found the following tidbit of information somewhat interesting: "Use h.264 encoding for all video content. Avoid encoding your videos in h.263 or vp6.". This probably has to do with having an h.264 decoder on-board, but the fact that Goog

OS X has a package manager, it just isn't installed by default. Checkout MacPorts or Homebrew.

Although there is something to be said for running the same software stack on your desktop as your server. Though, I'll grant you, web development on OS X is really nice.

Also, please mention if you're hiring interns or not. I'm sure a number of college students (myself included) read HN, and are _very_ interested in working for one of you for the coming summer. Plus, it's just about that time, where we sta

I'd argue that it teaches you how to express the algorithms in an imperative manner, which most of the world will use. That way, you'll be able to more easily read the code the rest of the world writes. Or perhaps it's to teach you how poor

This may be a good thing ultimately, but if there was a gaming company I'd consider working for, it'd likely be Valve. They seem very community focused, and I imagine they'd give this guy the freedom to run the game how he likes, considerin

While I'll believe that there are some things that you can do easily in WMP, but not in iTunes, I don't know what they are, and was really looking for examples with my previous question. The idioms, like I said, I'll give you. I remember th

Not to derail the topic from the main issue at hand, but what's so wrong with iTunes on Windows? While it doesn't conform to all of the Windows idioms you'd expect, I still found it to be a better music player than just about everything el

Adding to this, I remember reading an interview with one of the IE6 devs a couple weeks back where he talked about how Microsoft considered browsers finished after IE6, and basically just disbanded the team. Browsers and web innovation wasn

You don't have to use Chrome, Chromium works as well and I don't believe it shares data with Google. Also while I'm not a huge fan of lots of small unreadable tabs, I'm not really a fan of scrolling tabs either, it just seems so slow. I typ

This is a completely different statement than your original one. I think there's plenty of support for non-webapp Ruby, and that its very competitive with Python outside of web application arena (look at Chef or Puppet for a couple examples
