I'm going to say no. I'm dyslexic and dysgraphic and I deal with it, but it's only after many years of practice and by doing most of my writing on a keyboard. (I'm still not so good with written numbers.) The best way I've heard it explaine

I'll save judgement for when I could try it, but why on earth do you need full access to my git hub account? I don't want to give you access to my private repo's unless I'm coding on them.

You can still avoid it if you really want to. My account is now a google account but my flatmates youtube account is still separate. They keep bugging him but he keeps dodging it, wont agree to the new terms.

The problem with tiered passwords is that if someone leaks a tier one password they get your tier one. It doesn't matter how important it is to you, if they mess up and lead your information its out there, nothing you can do about it. This

My girlfriend got one and she wouldn't dream of putting osx or windows on it. She wont even let me throw the jail break switch and get a proper shell. She uses it mostly when she travels because it's light and has 3g, but its never far from

I like Nginx a lot but apache isn't insecure by comparison. Nginx is possibly more secure out of the box with minimal configs but that's not a given either. You can do dumb things with either product. AllowOverride None That will d

Except you'll probably loose support sometime in the next few years and as soon as they consider it a burden or a threat they'll pull the plug on it. For hobby use it would be really cool for any business I'd stay far away from it.

Looks like this is a direct port of pg's version. I have to admit, I haven't seen callcc before and the concept while similar to closures scares me a bit. Storing a complete environment in a variable is a new concept to wrap my head around.

If they lie about anything on their resume my company walks away. The last guy I interviewed we talked for my alloted time and it was clear he wasn't quite up to par but I wanted to know how much he knew. The next guy after me sent him home

I don't think they're trying to present this as an innovation in name tags. It's just a showcase of an elegant novel design.

I've been interviewing technology interns at a finance company and every single one has said "I'm very quantitative and want to learn more about high frequency trading." I haven't been able to figure out what they mean by that. I think they

It's a pleasure to see my writing on Hacker News. I freelanced for 5 years and highly recommend it to anyone trying to break into any industry. It gave me the freedom to learn though working then any one job would have. I would go back in a

Versioned storage isn't a backup, but it is quite helpful. Additionally Amazon S3 does redundant storage ( http://aws.amazon.com/s3/#protecting ) but in the end you're relying on a single service with a single account.

Take a look at liftweb. http://liftweb.net/ Its Scala which I don't know, but I've got some very intelligent friends trying to get me to back it at our company. (Scala is a lisp that runs in the JVM. - Someone's going to hang me for confu

I noticed the same thing on my girlfriends CR-48, twitter wont scroll properly (studders) and everything else hangs a bit. She filed a bug report with google chrome os support, but I suspect twitter is doing a lot of heavy stuff in the back
