It matches you with interviewers that know the languages you say you know well.

the Facebook give-us-your-login-temporarily style stuff is unacceptable Agreed. IMO, asking for your password when there are API's readily available is alone enough to disqualify a…

I'm a big fan of Subtle Tea on Madison and 30th: http://subtleteastore.com/ But there are a ton of them around I don't know by name. Usually smaller places frown on non-customers u…

The topic was Flash running in a mobile browser. Like Android, which Adobe originally said would ship Flash for over a year ago. I think Adobe's utter engineering incompetence is o…

Let's keep in mind, however, that there is not really one monolithic "market". Just as McDonalds co-exists with Jean Georges, the legions of Android clones running Flash, etc. will…

Err, he didn't admit it. An anonymous employee of Facebook alleged it, "off the record". Most people I know treat Facebook as if it were a public-facing website, anyway, and should…

> I think the key here is how Apple deals with it now that everyone is watching. Andrey predicts [1] that the new iPhone launch will be canceled (or delayed?), and that Gizmodo wil…

http://ycombinator.com is down, and it looks like Paul is hosting the static content of the site there...

We have something official, more official than any press release: the developer contract We have Gruber's interpretation of a complex legal document, taken completely out of the co…

Showing that there are those among us who will gas women and children, and many more who will not do anything about it as long as it doesn't affect them personally is a repeated le…

Explain or link, please?

DNS is basically a huge associative array [which] gets cached at nameservers Uhoh. This might be a dangerous meme.

I think the idea is that the individuals in your family already own iPod Touches or iPhones (we do), so as soon as someone has a iPad, you're set.

Yes. Apple completely changed battery designs between the removable and the non-removable versions. The latter will last significantly longer.

From what I know, Andrey (the poster) is pretty neutral on TD, maybe even a proponent. He's saying you should have an interface in mind when you start to write unit tests. Sometime…

For all we know, these are the kinds of people who, when approached on the street, said "sure, I'll go on The Death Show". They're the same kids who stomp on worms after it rains -…
