I'm sure a few million of reddit's 20 million UU's skip over the sopa stuff or they only browse one subreddit. They released some stats where less than 10% of the websites users even have an account and only 1% submit stuff. So Blocking out

Usually the way you solve GC issues is by either not allocating after some initial massive allocation, or by running the GC constantly and having it clean up bits and peices every frame. I don't know enough about ruby to know if this is pos

I feel like he showed how the product works plenty. He showed you can hold it with one hand sans thumb, it stands in multiple different ways and it's stylish. Also it doubles as a headphone wrap. Had he stopped dancing and just went on abou

Java.util.concurrent is one of the most attractive features of java for server programming. ConcurrentHashMap is faster, cleaner and much easier to use than locking every time you need a access a shared HashMap. Not only that but it doesn't

This sounds like just the kind of thing I've been looking for. Would anyone be willing to comment on whether or not it's worth taking a semester off from college to do HS?

They do. But personally I would rather include 1 paid service that does everything I need than 3 or 4 that are free. Every extra service that I add adds page load time and more javascript. The app I'm developing right now already has quite

Pricing scheme aside (honestly I would pay for such a service if it comes with a nice little dashboard and some decent stats), What I really wonder is if it would have a load of backlash from customers coming to my. Personally whenever any

Well, If you run a few million entries, each one needing to write an individual entry and each entry takes 200 ms to write, that's your 2 weeks right there. I don't know how they are using GAE and if there is an alternative to their methods

Well, I think it's a bit of loaded question. What do I say? If I reach to high I endanger my own prospects at being hired. A buddy of mine answered the "see yourself in 5 years" question with "Probably working at Google". Needless to say he

Also its really important to know how float works in javascript. because 0.1 + 0.2 != 0.3 in Javascript. I don't know why "application developer" == "Don't have to know how the thing I'm using works" Quite frankly I can never get away from

I'm in the same boat as you (20,web/mobile). I've done my fair share of interview and here's what I've found: Anything that's worth doing involves a heavy amount of math. Most of my day is spend doing UI and I tend to deal with a heavy amou

My personal experience with amazon recruiters has been poor. At a college career fair they basically shoved off anyone who was looking at internships (while treating full time like they were gold). I've never interviewed with them because I

I want to know what the stigma is over remoting. I know 37signals has quite a few remote engineers and they are doing quite well. There are loads of good engineers literally all over the country. But for some reason the Bay area would rathe

HN is also an interesting community because of the fact that we all have relatively fast connections. Bungie (guys who made Halo) found out that if you want to be accessible to 99% of connections you need to design around 8kb/s speeds which

I feel like the people who are on hacker news don't really apply to this article. Anyone who can understand Javascript usually knows what Pythagorean theorem is. They probably understand, at least, calculus.

If you have so many Javascript snippets that you need another javascript snippet to organize them you may want to think about how your developing your application and what your application means to the user. Heavy Javascript on the client s

Maybe it's because I haven't slept all night. But is it just me or is there really no one trying to sell me anything. I feel like I'm reading a bear bones feature list. No descriptions. No upsells. It's almost a "Here it is. Take it or leav

Lets extrapolate on that data a bit. Granted we don't have much to extrapolate on but lets put it like this. 1950-1970 = 20 years. 1970 + 20 = 1990. So by that logic those who are ~20 right now at the end of this, IMO, "bubble" so by that

My guess is because it isn't a day to day impact for most people. With Verizon, BOFA,and Netflix, it was a monthly charge for most people. People who use TicketMaster arn't billed monthly so a one time charge isn't that big of a deal. Also

Nope. Probably something to do with security. But everything needs to be string. It works well for everything other than images.

This is a perfect compliment to something like jstorage though. html5 localstorage gives about 5mb of data stored as text (~5million characters). But chrome uses UTF-16 encoding giving you only about ~2.7 million characters of storage. Eff

Design for Hackers by David Kadavy. Besides being informative it was really really interesting to read. Really opened my eyes to a lot of the things designers do deliberately and not just because "its pretty".
