I wonder what the purpose of requiring Google to remove the links is - when, I would assume, there would be DNS-level blocking of TPB. Wouldn't the links just not work? It would seem like Google could then not worry about policing search re

Somewhat related - is there any project for viewing the key/value pairs in a redis instance in a more friendly way than via the command-line? I'd like to be able to enter a key-matching pattern 'users:*' and see the list of all the keys (an

You link isn't working for me - but I will take your word. That is an interesting point and seems simple enough for most people to understand, I wonder why it wasn't brought up. Do you know any details about the "wholesale piracy" portion o

I have to ask, what is the rebuttal to Richard Cotton's assertion that this only effects "wholesale piracy websites outside the USA"? Because no one seemed to be able to come up with one on the show - which is disturbing since I would think

I'd say a good goal would be to rank #1 for long tail searches like "where can I buy FOO_CANDY in the US?" for the top 50 best selling Japanese candies.

I kind of agree with the sentiment that a few others are having. I've spent the past 4 months working on an Android project and when I opened this page I was in shock. Everything looks so awesome and shiny - but where is the actual implemen

Can you use an approach like the NFLScorebot is using? https://github.com/nflscorebot/learn/blob/master/learn.js#L1... Scraping the data from a public page is probably better than using a private API.

As a filter? Yes. I'm not saying hire anyone that can do a fill-in-the-blank Rails controller action - but how they handle that mechanical task should help you figure out what direction to proceed in (a deeper dive into the fundamentals, a

My main issue with this type of question is that people will take this (or other popular questions) as the catch-all type of problem to ask in any interview for any candidate. If you are hiring a generalist or you are in a company that writ

Is there a tool that lets you trigger some of these state changes (Suspended -> Killed, for example) for debugging/testing purposes? Trying to get the OS to forcibly kill an app due to memory pressure is something I've had trouble doing

It depends on your learning style - I know that for myself (especially when I was in school) my brain was in a mode that worked well for structured learning. When I was just starting the learn the ins-and-outs of programming, I liked the ri

I respectfully fully disagree with recommending The Art of Readable Code. Particularly, I take issue with the advice on comments, as well as the strange point that sometimes 'goto' is acceptable. While there are some good sections on things

The first step is to be aware that you aren't writing succinct, manageable code - so you are already making progress :) I'd recommend these books, mixed with some searching around for best practices for whatever specific framework/language/

Is there some sweet spot for a developer with ~1-3 years of industry experience? Most of these programs note that all you need is basic programming knowledge - but is there anything out there for 'junior developers on the rise' that are alr

Some random feedback: Logfind 1) 'To consider a solution as 'passed', it would need to produce output on a log file of about 5 GigaBytes in under a seconds.' - you need to firm up this requirement especially if the tool will be scored by an

I can't speak for the self-hosted side of things, but two underutilized features for github hosted Jekyll blogs that I think could be really neat are Pull Requests (for comments, typo corrections, or collaborative blogs i.e. AltDevBlogADay)

I don't know about octopress - I don't get who the customer is. That rake script can be done in like 15 lines of any scripting language (I wrote my own in about 10 minutes). I don't have any issues styling my stock Jekyll blog. If you are u

I agree with your point - I feel that having too many engineers from the same school leads to a sort of echo chamber. Everyone takes the same classes, does the same projects, has the same professors. But even worse, I feel like alums all gr

I feel your pain with getting setup with Jekyll. I've been using it for a little over a year for my blog that is hosted with Github Pages. I am pretty happy with my setup (finally) - I've got blog posts and book reviews, but also talk slide

A blog engine is the type of CRUD app that node is not well suited for. Just because they could write it in node, doesn't mean that they should.

Can a reality show - that several of the founders involved with have spoken negatively of - really be an advantage for TechStars? Also, why do the plot areas go above the maximum axis labels?

I've always wondered why designers don't point to open source as a portfolio like some developers do. As a developer, I would imagine that there aren't many better ways to land a job at a tech company than designing a logo or brand identity

That would be a good target - I could also see interest in branching out into the careers/interviewing space as well.

Right, but it's missing things like how many people viewed this project, how many people cloned it (not fork) after viewing, who is referring people to my project.

I was surprised that this acquisition includes Ordered List's products (SpeakerDeck and Gaug.es specifically). Assuming they don't get shut down, now Github can host your conference talks and provide analytics (built-in repo analytics anyon

I want to be good at Vim, but it isn't practical for me at the moment. At work, I've spent the last year and half in Visual Studio or Eclipse (both due to the nature of the projects) and it was really hard for me to switch my brain into "Vi
