   I usually glance at the Techcrunch live blog[1] every 10-15 minutes for WWDC keynotes. Since it is a text-stream (with a few photos), it's helpful if you don't have an apple device to view the stream or are busy with office work o

   I find git's growth and adoption remarkable. It was only 5 years ago that as a young programmer I was first exposed to git and the concept of version control. I remember that every other team I knew at my organization was using svn and

   How is HBOGO different from Xfinity On Demand? If you subscribe to HBO, all content is anyway available OD, so there is no real need for a separate 'client' for watching it.

   Great concept! Voted for San Francisco to be the next city. You should have paths that go over hills (for a robust walk), and paths that go around hills (for a flatter stroll) too! :-)

   The title reads as though HipChat are releasing previous chat history to administrators although the ToS clearly states that this is not retrospective and only future 1-to-1 conversations will be impacted by this.

   This is amazing. Go is a great CI/CD server and I'm happy that it is now open source. Jenkins is a good CI ecosystem that lacks a good UI and a good API. Wonder how Go stacks up on the API and Plugins front with Jenkins.

   SF starting at 8:17 a.m. caught me a little by surprise. I work in SF and have a few friends who work at different companies (20-somethings and 30-somethings, working in tech). Almost everyone I know comes in to work sometime from 9:30 a.m.

    I think growing a string with << is an expensive operation. Since once the allocated memory is full, it will cost O(n) to copy the entire string to a new location. If we are carrying out m insertions, this could take O(mn). The way I

    As someone who did a summer internship last year at an amazing SF company, the pay-scale at fogcreek sounds pretty competitive (read amazing). $6,000 a month comes to a shade less than $40/hour. Bear in mind that most full time student

    This is an amazing idea and sounds pretty affordable at less than 50 bucks. I wish it was posted on HN last month so I could have ordered something for Valentine's day. :-) Anyway, best of luck with this venture!

    @homakov finds 5 different bugs with github and manages to align them so that a bigger vulnerability is exposed in under 5 hours ? That's amazing! I used to think I'm a fast delivery-focused developer but I'm probably just a

    I for one think that S3's server side encryption is amazing for most if not all data. We backup hundreds of gigabytes of data every day to S3 and enabling server side encryption enables us to not worry about generating, rotating, and m

    I believe you can scroll up and down to zoom in and out so that the world and the units appear bigger and smaller. I am not sure about this, but it had worked when I had played the game a few months ago.

    This is likely a side effect of the fact that there is no "peer-review" process in the form of a pull request or maintainers etc. to publish a gem to rubygems.org. Can such names can also be observed with PyPI etc. which have a si

    Interesting. Does this have anything to do with the fact that distances are larger in the US and a large percentage of the population rely on their own cars rather than public transport?

    I understand how you feel about this. I feel the same way. I wish the Software Engineering Code of Ethics[1] is taught in engineering schools and instilled into the minds of youth so that they can exercise their judgement in the future. Of
