I totally agree. The npm ecosystem and the generally accepted practices in js these days come close to the bash style of composing & chaining a bunch of solid, specific little prog…

You can't reliably beat the market. People who say they can are saying so out of some combination of: 1) lying (to others and/or themselves as well) 2) cheating (insider trading, b…

In addition to what others are saying (location spoofing, etc) another factor to consider is this was in Littleton, CO. Specifically, about 5 miles away from Columbine.

That's Pynchon. You're describing Pynchon. At least some of the time, and FWIW the reviewer definitely seems to get him & his style. The 8th paragraph in there is an excerpt from t…

"They're not important" as a rationale for being selectively discourteous and/or unprofessional will put you under the adage of "Beware the person who is nice to you but rude to th…

Yeah, I had a limiter put in mine as well so that it only made a request every 6 or 8 seconds. No worries on the suggestion. Those threaded comments can be tricky sometimes. Hey, i…

User comments, but going by users rather than threads. That way you could get a profile where someone posts, or turn it around and see what prolific posters existed in a given subr…

I ran into the same problem. I started a pet project that involved scraping reddit (though for a different purpose than AMAs). Their robots.txt and an admin writeup from somewhere …

That's all well and good but we're a far cry away from concluding there's a lack of sufficient power to effect change. We're not counseling someone who's just become paraplegic abo…

> I suspect though, that its extremely hard for someone to police themselves to avoid giving a candidate points for giving the "right answer". It can be hard. But I'd argue getting…

If they think a question that gets at "What are your main priorities in looking for new employment?" is bullshit, I hope they do walk out of the interview so I don't waste anymore …

If they ask for your input and then move on to the next question, absolutely. But at that point you're blaming the tool and not the user. The conclusion to draw is the interviewer …

I really don't see how this is manipulative, who exactly are they trying to fool? The "tapping into something deeper" isn't some tricksy ploy to reveal more than you want, it just …

Nothing is stopping people from knowing proggit/HN/etc as a short list of tech sites that they should say they keep up with in case the question gets asked. This becomes cyclical w…

The takeaway is you don't want spineless employees, you want them free thinking and unafraid to speak up when they sense something is wrong. That being said, "argumentative dick" d…

The most dangerous thing about this controversy is that people will take knee-jerk reactions to Daisey as an indication that nothing is wrong with the world of electronics. What's …

In Daisey's response: "I am proud that my work seems to have sparked a growing storm of attention and concern over the often appalling conditions under which many of the high-tech …

Eerie. Having been in/around Tempe for the last 16 years, as soon as he said "There's a coffee shop here in Tempe..." the first one that came to mind (of the many, many non-starbuc…

Sorry, I should have been clearer on what I meant. Google/etc CAPTCHAs don't work 100% against anti-CAPTCHA. As those articles suggest it's a fluctuating 80% or so, and obviously a…

"Spammers are lazy" does kinda work for the multitudes of small-traffic sites out there. Put together some unique or custom validation to keep out spambots and odds are that's all …

It's not the single odd submission that comes up that is really what offends, it's more of the slippery slope it invites that historically can overwhelm the quality of popular webs…
