Interesting problem. Well explained.

my bad.. couple of reloads and it connected.

Site down?

pg had already done it :)

I have lived with 1 GB/month for nearly 2 years. No images, no ads, no flash. Now on an unlimited bandwidth connection :)

That quote struck a chord. Just the right one for me to be better at work.

Did a google for that quote to find out that it's pg in this article http://www.paulgraham.com/hs.html

The leaders link in the top bar was removed when a separate page was added with the Ask HN questions.

Here is pg's announcement: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1173801

In the same discussion, in response to http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1174132, pg moved the leader link to the Lists page and had the Ask HN on top bar.

40 million programmers?

awesome! I liked the nice and clean UI. Even if the coder himself says it is ugly in his about page :)

I too got that quite a lot.

Found this in another HN article. www.rubypay.com/google/Google.htm

minus #extended at the end :)

how does this work? Tweets by ppl following pg?

links loaded into memory - how does that work? Can you please explain?

yeah probably. His tweet came about an hour after this submission :)

This happens quite often. Several good links escape attention due to low votes and get lost. Shouldn't I have got a "link already exists" message?

Which tools?

Key techniques from the article:

1. Hire people with the right kind of ambition.

2. Build strict processes for potentially political issues and do not deviate.

3. Be careful with “he said, she said".

me too.. expecting how we shd do, if nil == a, instead of if a == nil and those kinda stuff!

That's a good one.

One of the comments in the article.

"zt, zb and zz are commands that I use pretty frequently. They keep the cursor on the current line, but re-position the cursor at the top, bottom or middle of the screen."

Priceless! Was wondering how to do this a couple of days ago. Thanks David Frey.

Cool job! Gnome Sort - now that's new to me!

Smart people always view source :)

Here's his post about taking down the site: http://www.s-anand.net/blog/the-calvin-and-hobbes-search-tak...

also note that "executive" becomes "distinguished Engineer" right in the first sentence!

well, I'll agree to that! Especially the factories :)

disagree on the documentation point.

Thanks for pointing out the right term. However, the site does not use HTML5 placeholder and instead rely on plain JS to do the trick. What I wished for was a behavior like in the demo here: http://diveintohtml5.org/examples/input-placeholder.html
