at a glance it doesn't seem interesting to me. Trying to think analytically I'd say it just, in a boring way, tells me what it will do, not what it will do for me. Which car would you buy: * (a) The new Zappino is slick, good-looking, and m

Every site I visit uses HTML. It's making all the webapps look the same.

If we had to re-make the decision of what remote DVCS host to use, I'd certainly look strongly at bitbucket. We have only a small handful of developers, but many repositories (60+) all getting low traffic. We've used both Github and Beansta

Ridiculously low rate for anyone competent - do programmers in the UK really accept $25/hour USD?

OP may not be actually using "FizzBuzz" as he said a FizzBuzz-type problem :)

by pixeloution 15y ago
Just curious if you expect perfect code on a sheet of paper or give them an IDE and say go for it. As I remember fizzbuzz (print numbers 1 thru x, then fizz if divisible by 3, buzz if divisible by 5, fizzbuzz if divisible by both) I did it

I didn't know there were any that were insanely priced. Your headline might better be "I'm selling an app at a foolishly low price, take advantage of me while you can!"

How does basamiq's post equate to "no vacations"? The post says, quite clearly "Take vacation time when you like".

I hate to be a jerk but using :last-child at this point in time seems like a pretty poor choice; its not supported by IE8 and below, which is still an awful lot of people

This appears to be based on xScope -- or at least one small portion of xScope -- a product much better described as the "ultimate measuring tool".

Modern GPUs can calculate 250 million MD5 hashes per SECOND - so even a salted MD5 hash isn't much help. Since you're using Code Igniter, that means PHP -- bcrypt forces you to use a salt, plus its a slower hashing method which means the

"The Mac Mini is the clear winner in value for money. Even if you consider that you’d need your own monitor." Well ... no. The 27" iMac comes with a screen that would cost you $900 - $1200 depending on where you buy it from. 2560 x 1440

Reading code is more difficult then writing code. Understanding a complex system is difficult -- understanding a complex system with poor architecture is nearly impossible. If anyone is bidding on the work without looking at your code first

Very poor UX design then because there's nothing which indicates this would be the case, and no general understanding that clicking things makes them vanish.

PDO already is a simple wrapper for accessing a database.

There is no such thing as a GPU based bcrypt hasher because it woudln't be - from my understanding - any faster then a CPU based one. Not all calculations are able to be sped up through the use of a GPU. So I'm comparing the fastest you can

bcrypt at 10ms only being 300 times slower would indicate you can only try 30,000 MD5 hashes per second -- which is incorrect. Using a GPU based cracker on a current generation top-end video card you can calculate over 300 million per secon

The posted grid system is broken in some versions of IE, Opera, and other browsers I'm sure but I don't remember which other ones suffer rounding errors offhand. It amazes me how, with so many existing grids that do it right, someone can wr

And how is that relevant? I've heard the argument "Your backend developers can work on the front end too" -- but its a tired argument. Any developer who can't already do both has no place working for a company producing web-based software.

A note to you, and hiring companies everywhere: posting salary ranges will get you more applicants. People looking to move jobs usually don't spend time interviewing for a position where they have to guess at the compensation.

There are more "feature complete" products out there. People who use harvest (myself included) use it BECAUSE its simple, and doesn't require an accountant's mind to understand. Those people are freaky.

Just because you've had a bad experience doesn't mean CS departments should reject creative people. It means it wasn't suited to you .

So you posted this question here as "Ask HN:" and it got no traction; now you posted it no Quora and have posted that link here -- is there some ulterior motive you have?

Programmers - good ones - are creative people. Creative people sometimes make poor entrepreneurs. Maybe you should let them decide for themselves what they want to pursue?

Dropbox, along with the rest of these, I imagine, have plenty of non-mac users.

GPUs are rendering MD5 and other weak hashing methods useless when a database is compromised. Using bcrypt [properly] can reduce the attempts the fast computer on the planet could make to a handful per second.
