This is great! Very useful information. I'm assuming the poster is the author, how did you get this information? Are you using the JSON API talked about here: http://www.bemasher.net/archives/1002 ? Or are you just scraping?

This is a really great step forward for password strength estimation. If the OSC could get going on it and add a bunch more patterns it could be a great solution. Perhaps I'll have time to work on some patterns.

I did read it, that's why I used that concept. I don't think calling me a "jerkhole" really adds to the dialogue. I just disagree. The author points it out because he doesn't want to hear it. That doesn't make it a less correct counter-argu

Wow, this article is unnecessarily harsh. You get the feeling that one of his immediate relatives was crushed in a freak industrial machine accident and that he later found out that the machine was programmed in PHP. I work with PHP everyda

I see that arch like thing on the right, and the view screen, and my brain goes to the bridge of the 1701-D, which is awesome. I want to play this game right now.

I think this goes to show that we like low information density. Simple things are easier to absorb, high density things get blocked out naturally. When we're presented with an large amount of information, our brain blocks it out rather than

Very insightful, that's my case I believe. I had never used Drupal prior to starting at the place I am now, and part of every project so far has been finding out that Drupal does not, in fact, do what I want. Luckily my boss is a good guy,

Thanks for this, it's a great article. I have this problem with my boss occasionally, which is funny because he's a programmer. "Oh, you just have to do this and this, shouldn't take you too long." You're right, there's always those bottlen

This looks great, and it's evident from Notch's success with Minecraft that he really knows how to provide a great product and interact with his fans. Looking forward to trying it out.

I have a history book that my great-grandmother used in the early 1900s. It's nice to look at when you need a reminder of how far we've come as a people.

I'm not sure this is the solution. The problem is hiring (or accepting for YC, College, etc) in general is a complicated process where the generally accepted solution doesn't work as well as we want it to. The only real solution would be to

It's important to draw a line in the sand where you will launch, say, "when I get X done, we will launch". Then make sure you stick to it. If you plan well, and you know your customers, this should work. It seems like the real problem here

I just went through the visa process as my wife is an alien and we had to apply for her green card. Before that she had B-2, F-1, and originally a J visa. All of these visas are very strict. You cannot work on a tourist visa. You're not eve

My team applied, and we did not get any recommendations. I tried to be as simple as I could but the scope of the project is quite enormous. Hopefully I provided the right amount of information while not overwhelming or being confusing. We h

Very cool. I do miss all the free time I had when I was that age. I wish I had gotten into programming more seriously then, and had used that time more productively.

It was also my little form of rebellion. It's not the piece of paper that says you learned that matters, it's that you learned at all. Now that I'm out I can continue my autodidactism. For instance I just learned Go.

I dropped out after finishing 99% Computer Science and Engineering degree from OSU. I had two classes left but the senioritis was getting to me and I couldn't focus. I just wanted to get out there and do things. So far it's worked out OK, I

I agree with the points in the article that brainstorming is unhelpful and pair programming can be useful. I have yet to attend a meeting at work with more than one person that has yielded anything useful. In those meetings the extroverts t

I also found Ready Player One very entertaining. My favorite Vonnegut book is Cat's Cradle so I say start there.

I think you can get around #3 if you just tell people to be upfront with you. Half way through your pitch, stop, and ask if they're interested.

It seems like every other week there's some awesome new tech that will go into the next generation of batteries. Somebody should think about archiving this stuff so a couple of years down the road we can look back and see what actually made
