Nice idea! Congrats for the venture!

A small feedback about the site. The email signup UI is the coolest I have seen. However, I would like the string "you@example.com" to be retained when I click in the text box and then click outside. Currently, it disappears when out of focus after clicking inside the text box once.

good concept! but the colors are bad on eyes!

and upvoting them...

Have a look at JODConverter - http://www.artofsolving.com/opensource/jodconverter

I have used it in the past from my Java applications in the same way you intend to. Here is a list of supported formats of conversion: http://www.artofsolving.com/opensource/jodconverter/guide/su...

neatly done and pretty useful.

I disagree. Majority of us who use a version control do not need to know the internals. I can be a proficient git user without even knowing what a DAG is and that's the beauty of it. The software is so transparent that I don't need a degree in computer science to use it. However, learning the internals gives a nice perspective which helps in using the system better.

crisp & concise. The analogy about refs being post-its is a nice one!

brilliant!

trolling :)

Stop seeing him as just a "dev", give him his due respect for being co-founder of a company and see things improve!

better late than never.. It came too late, but it definitely does not look like too little.

don't we take pride in calling ourselves hackers? Why on earth otherwise are we on HN? :P

A great introduction to Redis!

I stopped reading once I hit the "Cat Names" paragraph. Complete BS!

I highly doubt that hiring managers are going to have the time to read code. Very few people go through a candidate's code before an interview.

Liked the finishing touch: "A smartphone can't be smart if it's married to a company as dumb as AT&T."

really, is this HN material?

second that.

Excellent article. Let me start writing my check list now.

I think you got me wrong. I'm one of those engineers who flip over :) What I meant was that the employers do not understand this behavior and all they could do to prevent this is to block access to the Internet which actually harms our work more.

flipping over to browse the web the moment you have a couple of minutes free is probably why some companies block access. Employers expect their employees to focus on their job and not flip over at every chance. But what the blocking means for us is something that they ll never understand..

how?

Quoting from http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index....: "The scores for C have been pretty constant through the years, varying between the 15% and 20% market share for almost 10 years. So the main reason for C's number 1 position is not C's uprise, but the decline of its competitor Java."

exactly my thoughts about the wording chosen. At least the op could have changed the title when posting here.

Congrats sivers !
