   Say at Microsoft interviewers will drill you on edge cases (but it really is common in most shops). That means all empty / invalid input as well as overflow, floating point errors etc. Some places care about reliability vs speed or ele

   I thought it was a quiz game before noticing the explanation on the right. I guess to teach kids CSS basics this would be great, quite engaging.

   Which is why this should have been written in Node. Seriously, Python/Ruby environments+package managers are the abomination of programmer's time.

   This is exactly what the top comment talks about. Yes, "diverse" if you're talking about the official ruling order, because German Holy Roman Empire had an elected King and Emperor, unlike dynasties in France or England. But

   Finally! The OneNote client simply beats Evernote on Windows Phone (surprise surprise) and I finally don't have to use the online version that's even hard to log into, forget to use!

   There are no excessive programming hours at Facebook. I assume most of those people worked on the massive backend challenge, not on making the videos (but that's my guess).

   I would agree if it weren't for the following: There are already many political topics discussed here. That's a reality. As people always point out, they are interesting to large number of people. Maybe HN is over the purely-techn

    I am glad this has finally got to the top of HN. People should be aware of the fact that a part of sovereign country is being aggressively annexed by their neighbor. And there is virtually no opposition to Putin in Russia.

    I really hope those files are well structured, but it baffles me that no one would think about splitting them up...

    The dashboard UI is pretty confusing, I switched to Chrome because I thought it was broken in Firefox, and in Chrome the "preview" (now I know it is a preview) has shadow on the bottom. It wasn't at all clear to me that click

    If you are running your code via 'coffee' or if you are compiling your code to JS this won't affect you.

    JavaScript will never adopt CoffeeScript syntax and will retain quirks for backwards compatibility (such as the == operator). CoffeeScript may very well settle on features, but only JavaScript's death could doom it - and that seems unl

    This doesn't make sense... Why not use the touch screen as the controller, with variable number of sliders and track numbers and attach it to a PC/monitor for displaying the rest of the UI?

    You're saying `code` but what you really mean is "Java" or your favorite OOP paradigm. If someone comes up with different rules for what `2.days()` means then they are valid rules (and we can discuss whether they provide bene
