I've tackled one of ITA's puzzles (word rectangle, I think I found a 7x7 in 60-ish seconds). I got through a phone screen and interview, but was ultimately turned down for 'lack of experience.' If you're trying to get hired at ITA by solvi

Seconded. I love my Aeron. One of my favorite features is rarely mentioned: the part of the chair that contacts your body is a flexible mesh. There are thousands of holes in the mesh that make it incredibly breathable. You can sit in it

I think your reply would have been a lot more persuasive without "As someone who actually goes to a top school..." It sounds like bragging. And worse: it doesn't do anything for your argument. (And for the record, I agree with you.)

Thanks! Having a passive income stream like this has been a goal of mine for years. Selling a digital product like this is a great fit. My long-term goal for this is the freedom to take time off and travel while being supported by my busin

Getting the captcha wrong clears all the fields. That's pretty cruel, usability-wise.

I'm not an A/B expert by any means, but it seems like there were far too many changes made to this form to give credit to just the 'mad lib' aspect. I've seen Patrick (patio11) mention that he's often surprised by how the tiniest change ca

I've read a number of times that you should never rebase commits that other people may have fetched already. Is this a possible danger here, or will git only rebase your strictly-local commits?

I think you may have misunderstood. "smarting over" is somewhat idiomatic English. It means to be embarrassed by something. In other words, you and the person you replied to seem to agree.

I think you could easily substitute 'a public repository of your code and open-source contributions' for 'Github' here, but the former is shorter and conveys the same idea. You also seem to imply that experienced developers [i]wouldn't[/i]

A little honest feedback: your site was painfully slow to load (8+ seconds?). If you weren't a HN'er I never would have stuck around and let it load.

This site would make a great case-study of pagination gone wrong. 1. No "next page" link. You have to determine which page you're on and then click the next one, a process made difficult by 2. A barely-apparent current-page indicator. T

This is a great article for users of ANY editor. I'm a vim user and got a lot out of it. Even more, many of these tips are abstract enough to be applicable to users of almost any complicated software tool, particularly ones used for hours

I'm not asking why you work as a programmer, but wether [sic] you have a passion for the act of programming. Ugh. I really want to like this post, but a typo in the FIRST sentence is such a turn-off.

Sure, luck is often involved in meteoric success. That's not to say that one must be lucky to be sufficiently successful. Set your sights a little lower than Bill's fortune. Also, it's worth noticing that wild success is probably possibl

Honestly, this was one of emacs' defaults that caused me to give it up and go back to vim. Also being forced to type out 'yes' completely to quit. Vim is the kind of editor that never makes you type three characters where one would do. Or
