mercury reader. This is probably the single most important factor in increasing the amount I've read in the last 2 months (since I found it). Google Dictionary. Pocket - Been using this for a long time. Wish they had more features but

I don't agree with the view that following specific people's work is the equivalent of cult personality, although thats how cults start out. It's not transpositional. It's a decent starting point for those just starting

Take this chance, take some risks that others cannot. You'll make great friends in the process and equally formidable enemies. There are a lot of real problems to be solved like housing, food, transportation, fighting exploitation, bui

This isn't fear of shipping, but fear of failure. Only way I know to overcome this is fail fast -> fail more -> learn -> fail less -> maybe succeed -> repeat. Somehow, you need to get comfortable with not knowing how it

That does not sound healthy. Good diet needs variety. How about adding other veggies in with the potatoes ?

In addition to the vertical whitespace, also (I feel) there's too much text there. I would just put "Headless Browser Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) that's free for light use, and cheap for heavy use." in as big a font as

I've never understood the lure of dashboards. Ok First, there are those, who care enough about the data, and for them dashboards are just not enough. Not enough data, not exactly what you are looking for and there's the element of

Totally. Except its crowded. And expensive with the >10 year debt to buy an apartment. And the insane traffic on undrivable roads and the daily squeeze in the local trains. Hardly any tech scene here although tons of mediocre IT work. An

My advice is simple : lists. Write them. Read them. Live them. If you see social interaction closely (but not too closely), you will notice it is best kept uncomplicated, low on substance and meaning with absolutely no expectations from oth

I sense the dire need for separate interviewing processes for anything that involves CRUD/WebApps with a database/Front End etc. and anything that is math/compute heavy. Although I feel it is correct on the interviewer's

I know where you are getting at and there's a subtle difference there. Knowing the 'implementation' Vs Knowing the 'algorithm'. I don't think I can 'know' something without actually doing it. Thereby,

The thing about excitement is that it dies off. What motivated you a few days/weeks ago now is just not worth the effort or time that you'd rather invest doing something more worthwhile.

I think the key to the questions being asked at an interview is "relevance". How relevant are the interview questions to the actual job that I am applying for ? The off the hand warm up questions are fine, but in my personal exper

This is great and positive and all things nice. How about making this more valuable by somehow connecting me with 10 people who know about this problem area or have tried or are interested in building a solution to this and more important :

I don't think there is an accurate measure of programming skill. Experience, diversity, challenges faced, skillfully using solutions to past problems, effective communication, reaching out for help when needed (including StackOverflow)

very cool stuff.. i can totally imagine sharing this with my sibling who's trying to learn what data structures are and what they really do. I really hope more data structures find their way into this interactive tutorial. Would love
