I HATE WHEN PEOPLE MISUSE THOMAS KUHN. Read the goddam book, or actually read and try to understand it. The scientific revolution occurs in opposition of the normal science period, we never had a normal science period in software development (or engineering, if you like this awful term), so it makes no sense to use Thomas Kuhn here. Which is a very profound and complex author discussing a epistemological paradigm shift, really different from this nonsense there.

<3 I couldn't agree more. Great analogy with the gourmet burger bars lol.

All the projects seems like commissioned work.

the Telegarden was way more interesting. They were exploring the idea of mantaining life from an anonymous community.

I haven't understand the point of this, beyond the "it's fun to see the tate gallery at night".

These will just show you are too much full of yourself and trying too hard to be funny.

it runs on the browser.

Taylor Swift doesn't understand music.

Yes. I agree with you. The post is great but the conclusion is weak. I believe, a lot of this Culture constructo comes from marketing needs. They want to have a nice IstockPhoto start-up for investors.

Very nice UI. Hope you add some old school stuff in there! I went ok on the Kendrick Lamarr test, but would rock with A Tribe Called Quest.

But it lacks a Slave, so it does not contains the same connotation.

To those interested in really using Vim to make music, SuperCollider is a great option, you can use it with SCVim (https://github.com/sbl/scvim). I've used a lot in my own music, I normally mix live coding and a piano, one guy recorded one of my presentations here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrPjgX60EA0

(Warning: Experimental stuff)

Case anyone's interested, here's my bandcamp: http://lucasnemeth.bandcamp.com/

Well, I've seem a lot of false positives. The questions asked tend more to the mathematical side, So I've seem smart people but with little programming experience, that didn't knew how to write quality code, pass those interviews.

The problem is that problem solving with fancy algorithm's can even be part of the job, but are normally just a small fraction. I've never seem dumb people going incredibly well in technical interviews, that's true, but I've seem a lot of bad programmers giving great answers to those abstract problems. And sometimes, they're knowledge wasn't actually a fit.

Not on every job. Sometimes coding is the hardest part.

One correction: It was Jeff Atwood who created Discourse.

I am working on a Brazilian public sector project, and since we only use open source alternatives running on our own servers (for security reasons), we chose Gitlab. It works nicely. The earlier versions consumed a lot of memory, but recently that's getting better. Would not recommend a too lightweight server, though.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Eich Brendan Eich (/ˈaɪk/; born 1961)[1] is an American computer programmer and creator of the JavaScript scripting language. He is the chief executive officer at the Mozilla Corporation.

Another comparable example: He donated 10,000 to the Nazi party.

I am worried about this as well.

I believe it will likely kill decent and valid discussions. HN already is a little disconnected from reality sometimes, with this we will end up with a fake consensus. Besides, it will become harder to attain 1000+ karma, so we will be endorsing a small group of people of old users and will be unwelcoming for new folks.

That rug was ridiculous.

Yes, second that. It's still the best place to find contemporary classical music, for example.

Well, I thought he was just pointing to the fact that the profile page on Github isn't very informative. It's too focused on "how frequently do you commit". And that using this as a CV is a bad thing.

I don't think that using Github as a portfolio is necessarily bad, I don't think it should be the only requisite for a job, but I like the ideia. The problem is, that wasn't the original intention of Github, and today it's profile page reinforce the wrong things.

I think he just tried to show that by hacking his own profile, but it could trick some people if he didn't had explained.

This article make it seems that all infrastructural problems lies in the hardware world.

The younger generation do care about problems that lies beneath the application, but a lot of those problems deal more with software than with hardware these days.

Besides that, we've been moving to a open source infrastructure, where a larger number of companies that depends on softwares develop them in a collaborative way, we have moved from the proprietary paradigm that existed in the 90's. A simple texting app may depend on some innovative database to scale, and will contribute to it's development.

I just entered here to say that. Let's just wait to see how much time it takes.

Yes, precisely. And that's scary.

Do you sincerely think History is a complete waste of time, a useless human endeavor?

You see... It would be great if people had better history/sociology knowledge, I don't know about you, but I don't want to live in a technocratic dystopia. The fact that these fields are seem as "useless" is a terrible thing.

Superb, a work of art.

Nice summary. I think it missed one important detail, only US-masters can apply to the extended H1-B quota, if you got a master degree outside the US you are not eligible to that quota and falls under the normal cap.

Since I am a Vim user, I think mine "hjkl" and "esc" keys are way more used than the ones in the picture.

God. Please. Don't compare Black Eyed Peas and De la Soul. 3 feet high and rising is a masterpiece of the 20th century. If this helps newer generations acknowledge their work, it will be incredible.
