Hernanpm··on Ask HN: What are the best tools for code reviews?
I like Crucible+fisheye it is paid product but it worth the price, at my team we are still using it even after migrating to github enterprise. This comparison https://gist.github.com/skingsland/888ff14633610a80f2d4 is still valid.

My team uses http://flarum.org/ for the same purpose we even added a slack notification plugin when new questions are added.
Hernanpm··on Ask HN: How can I experience SF and Silicon Valley in two weeks?
I went there for training, I recall I bought a two day ticket for hop-on, hop-off tour that was more than enough for SF, and regarding the bay area I took the Caltrain and I went to one stop each day from SF to San Jose. I was lucky to visit FB at Menlo Park thanks to friend that is working there.

did you have luck with SPA to PDF? I recall I tried it but with no luck for good javascript support.

Besides testing, my team uses phantomjs to convert pages to PDF and also to convert javascript generated charts to images. This is sad news, I'm don't think chrome eventually will add support for.

Hernanpm··on Little Snitch 3 – Protect your privacy
I noticed no one mentioned https://www.tripmode.ch/ I used to use Little Snitch before but it was to complex for what I wanted to do, allow disallow internet access to certain apps, tripmode does the trick in the simplest way I've even seen.

trello can be used to any kind of project you have in mind, I have my reading list there for example which would be hard to replicate in jira. there are cases were you can use trello and jira for the same puporse and I agreed that in those cases jira wins
Hernanpm··on Advanced Data Structures
I rather recommend this book end to end by is a good to own it, when I use to compete in programming competitions from time to time there were interesting problems that have an algorithm explained in this book but not in others it is a good reference overall.

That is correct, it went popular when it was used at ACM ICPC world finals some years ago.
Hernanpm··on Our Brain Uses Statistics to Calculate Confidence, Make Decisions
That is why I agree with Arthur Benjamin with teach statistics at school level.
Hernanpm··on C++ basics for competitive programming
I do not agree, this is tutorial is very specific for competitive programming and it is well known that it doesn't mean good code, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9324209 and actually it was great tutorial years ago but now we have c++11 and I would like an updated version of this tutorial that use c++11 features.
Hernanpm··on Predicting the next Math.random() in Java
Real random numbers are useless because everything follow some distribution. Actually random generators in programming languages should be called pseudorandom to avoid confusions.

I suggest you participate in online programming competitions. For me it was more helpful than just read books.
