I'm not asking the interviewer to talk about Markov chains, or even know much about them. I'm asking that he be able to form a coherent question on the subject. You would expect an interviewer asking about politics to at least be able to as

That interviewer was terrible: > How long have you been interested in computer coding, and searching, and things like that? If you're going to have someone do an interview about computer science, at least let the interviewer be someone

Likewise, on DDG, !w <term> searches wikipedia for something, while !hn <term> searches hnsearch for something. And I never had to configure anything. The best part about DDG is what someone mentioned earlier in the thread,

IIRC email is one of the few pieces of information about users that you get by default, and cannot be revoked by the user (without revoking the app entirely)

The part that is most striking to me about the vagueness of the pitch is: > “Not really, no. A wiki is more like a google doc – it has one true version at any given time. Sure, there’s a revision history, but nobody lives in the revisio

I meant when will they update it so that you can use the new version of Node without hacking the buildpack. >To change the vendored binaries for Node.js, NPM, and SCons, use the helper scripts in the support/ subdirectory. You'll need a

Any ideas how long it usually takes Heroku to add a new release of Node?

Both are a result of the socio-economic signals they send. Until recent history in industrialized nations, being able to spend your days inside, as opposed to in the sun, where your skin darkens, was a luxury that only money/power could buy

You should read Founders at Work and Steve Jobs . Both paint pictures of Woz as the guy who quite literally designed and built the Apple I and Apple II (although not quite as much as Apple I), off of which the company was built. Without

If a large manufacturer had a fire in their facility, it would certainly be industry news. This seems like a similar situation.

It doesn't generally play out that way. Buying the market is a short-term play, and isn't sustainable. PayPal beat the other payment services because they figured out the fraud problem. Google beat other search engines because they brought

All I can say is - wow. It pulls in a lot more information than I thought it would, which makes this truly useful. It pulled in an upcoming package delivery I have from Amazon, put in on my cue for the estimated date, and provided a link to

Their uptime percentage is 99.97%, but I'm having a hard time fighting the recency effect that is telling me to get off the platform ASAP.

based on other articles on this topic, it seems that allowing for trademark names is half the point (e.g. Canon.com switching to .Canon). These companies aren't applying for the string so that others may use it, they're applying so that the

I actually do watch HBO, but I can see exactly how this works (and how I got sucked into the super-premium package). You sign up for the standard internet+tv bundle, for say $60. Then you get HD for an extra $10 or $15, then the DVR is only

Any thoughts on having a bookmarklet? Seems like a pain to have to go back to referly to grab a shortened link instead of clicking a button on the page I'm on.

Best web hosting for who? 2 out of the 5 are all you can eat packages at really low prices, which are undoubtedly way oversold. I'll take Heroku over these guys any day of the week.

And that's just one of his companies. Let's not forget PayPal and Tesla, which, while not as important to the future of humanity, both represent successful leaps forward in technology and economics.
