There is an mgr-specific program called "mgreyes.c" included in the source tarball. So it was probably a from-scratch clone.

Any thoughts on how these situations could be automatically detected by a third party given the current realities of the JS ecosystem? Here are some quick ideas: 1. Detect commits that are radically different from previous ones in the same

Really accessible tutorial format here. More of this could get more people into APL. (Although truthfully I don't think that char set will ever fly in a broad commercial sense)

I've worked through a lot of this on my own as part of a previous job. Sadly it's such a new field that it can be hard to find any single resource that covers large swaths at once.. not even sure where to begin. I ended up piecing

Good question. I'm eager too. I've been able to buy Graphene Concrete Admixture and graphene-infused PLA filament for my 3D printer though.

The adaptability of Venetians, and their ability to live a full, happy life while accepting their lack of control over the environment, changed me a deep and meaningful way. and those dark back streets, too narrow for GPS signal at times, d

YES! Great point! And having known the business inside and out, plus the tech, plus showing what a hard worker you are - you'll be a triple threat!

agreed, if the person is in a where-are-your-daily-commits kinda role, years of non-progress is an obvious firing situation. Sometimes it's less black and white. let's say you hired two researchers to do some machine learning expe

one approach i've seen and used to make hiring decisions: do a great open source project to show you have the skills w/o the experience. ideally something relevant to potential employer. what they really want to know is if you kno

How long is a piece of string? I've had ROI from ten minutes after they started working (knew how/wanted to fix something that was affecting immediate revenue), or never, for years (worthless coders who just talk and move todo ite

I'm with you here. I was having an argument with someone about how Amazon has already conquered the target-upsell-intelligence space, and just as he was saying that, I saw numerous ads for something I already bought - same pictures, di

Great post. I think that is actually the author's pace though - he's saying its more important to get something out there, do the work, than talk about it and network. And your work appears to be live and well! Who the hell wants

.z.ph is extremely convenient. I'd be horrified if he removed it. I'm sure its just a line or two anyway. :)

The problem is figuring out if you're in a looping/cycling data structure or not. JSON.stringify and friends often already have code to deal with that, and it's quite complex in pure JS because there is no "object id&quo

Maybe I am under-thinking it, but why not just gray out and obscure those regions of the graph (or whatever) with a label "Different Driver"?

I'm not gkya (the parent poster) but I believe what he means is that the prisoners in the cave only understand reality as presented to them through the shadows. Likewise, we as consumers have only been offered minimalist, breaky phone

Sometimes I ponder the complexities of the world of code compared to the less technical but more human complexities involved in pulling off something like this. 47 takes x 30+ dancers.. and no rollback! :)

I see this in myself at times. A few ideas based on your scenario: 1. We are constantly screamed at on sites like HN that there is a right and a wrong way to do something. It's almost always just a fashion trend of some kind, and the r

Even though you'll be outputting LLVM as the intermediate representation, I think you'll still have to think a lot about the design of the internal structures and the operation of the "virtual machine" so to speak (altho

Not really. As an industry, computer science is still pretty young and disorganized. Dynamic, ever-changing. There are tests - the silly interview questions you see, QuickSort, A* algorithm, trees.. And as a practitioner, there are some sta
