"Good at multitasking" is one thing I would see as a huge red flag if it ever appeared on a programmer's resume.

Oh, the C++ one came to mind immediately when I read the parent comment.

There's another reason to reinvent the wheel: $ replace "Foo" "Bar" is common sense and easy to understand. Not to mention that sed -i is a GNU extension. I haven't used replace but it seems like a pretty innocent piece of helpful

No one worth working for who's technical is going to not hire you because someone heckled your script on twitter. A recruiter isn't going to pass you up either. Recruiters will spam the fuck out of anyone with a github follower.

I hope the keyword is 'did' -- if the hiring process is that robotic and stupid imagine the rest.

I'm not sure if that's the same thing. Linus usually criticizes things in a way that actually points out the flaws. This guy is just essentially saying "LOL U SUCK"

Honestly, I could. It'd probably require deception, though. Once I found your address or even your name I can grab a list of your suspected relatives. After that, I can find their phone numbers, and call them, and tell them you're in the ho

Your data is already out there on the open Internet. I could probably find your blood type based off your HN account.

I don't agree that expulsion is the correct reaction, but when he ran the pen-test software, what he was doing was wrong. It's one thing to stumble upon a bug while you're developing an app, and report it. That's totally respectable. Runnin

>"I can confirm the mac address is sent in the clear" Forgive me if I'm missing something about TCP/IP, but why does that matter? Couldn't a man in the middle get your mac address anyway? If not, I don't see this as such a flaw. I think

Someone has disagreed with you -- which you anticipated would happen. Therefore he must be angry? I agree with him. If it's wrapped up in a library and it's distributed by a package manager then it doesn't count towards the total SLOC of yo

I mostly agree. Especially consider dropping lines like "5 years in X required." - you're just filtering out the fast learners.

Is there any research that proves your claim: "Porn isn't good for you if you want to enjoy sex."? Porn has only made sex better for me.

Tried cloud9? It's actually very mature. The reason it's not widespread is because it doesn't offer any significant advantage for most developers. What's the advantage? Develop in the cloud, your environment everywhere? OK, so maybe it's an

huh? This must be a joke. Do I even need to read the article? I click and there's a picture of Steve Jobs holding up the iPhone? The most stolen idea on the planet, just ask the courts. Not to mention the ipad. Disclaimer, I'm not an apple

For Linux users, redshift has better multi-monitor support.

I would take this a step further and say it happens when any project or software gets mentioned on HN. There are always two groups of people: Those who like it, and those who don't. Those who don't are usually composed of a lot of people w

Seems like a less than efficient way to learn and remember a programming language. Unlike natural languages, we can write programs with programming languages. We can run these programs, and if they still work, then they're probably still co

> The Food and Drug Administration warns that Dexedrine can cause “new or worse aggressive behavior or hostility.” (.pdf) But the Air Force still blamed the pilots. It's not an FDA warning, it's the FDA being quoted out of context, then

I stopped reading when they exaggerated the effects of the amphetamines given to the pilots. It's unfortunate that accidents happen during war, and actually that war happens at all. But if I were a pilot having to fly over 10 hours, you bet

If by incomprehensible, you mean you need to read more than 10 pages of documentation to understand it, then sure.

Too much meta-generalizations!

I'm going to take this a step further and just say "Stop Generalizing" (Wait... was that a generalization?)

Good luck OP. I expect you're going to catch a lot of undesirable fish with this bait. :)
