I actually just did this. Started a new job in June last year, ended up moving across the country in Dec, but really liked my job and wanted to keep it and work remote full time. H…

Here's a fairly simple strategy for beating challenges 1 - 5. Basically drop off people in the elevator according to whoever's floor is closest. Then once the elevator is empty go …

Due to life events, I will be moving across the US in a couple of months. Currently employed as a web developer, and planning on approaching my employer about working remotely. How…

I found Apollo, by Catherine Bly Cox and Charles Murray, quite interesting and entertaining. http://www.amazon.com/Apollo-Catherine-Bly-Cox-ebook/dp/B003...

Neat idea thanks for sharing. Much better than my current method of emailing myself links when I want to quickly swap between devices.

Failure Before Success - http://youtu.be/PJKz0JbEZcw I find this motivating, especially when I'm feeling down.

My jaw dropped reading that the rocket could be re-used the next day. That seems like an enormous leap forward for space flight.

I was able to get 2048 building off of your solution. As you said, always keep your highest number in the top right corner. Try to build the next highest numbers up along the right…

The only reason I still use Google over DuckDuckGo is the keyword suggestions as I'm typing. I find that to be very useful when I'm searching for something but not quite sure how t…

At work today I was remotely pair programming with a fellow dev on my team. During his screen share, he accidentally pulled up a browser window that had various tabs showing open d…

Yesterday I was still seeing the HN error page on all of my devices, but checking Twitter it didn't seem like HN was still down. It wasn't until I hit Ctrl+F5 in Firefox that HN lo…

What are your biggest pet peeves with job posts? For example, one of mine regarding programming jobs is when they list a bunch of technologies that you "need to know", but in reali…

One thing that I like about Knockout is that you can easily drop it into a legacy site, allowing you to have some pages that use it and others that don't. Forgive my naivete, but i…

01 - Found it a bit confusing as to which link I should click first. Add fuel to your business? Let's get started? Current - Interesting idea but I found it difficult to mouseover …

Check out KnockoutJS, I've found their documentation to be quite good and it's a pretty easy framework to learn.

I've dealt with this same problem for many years as well. Recently I just completed a side project ( http://www.randolunch.com ) for the first time ever. Three things really helped…

I'd love to hear your reasons for this, as I've been looking at moving away from the Microsoft stack. Thanks!

Hi all, Randolunch finds random restaurants for you to try based on your location. I'm a .NET dev, but I began learning Rails a few months ago and this is my first Rails site, so I…

Great suggestions! I'd also add Octopress ( http://octopress.org/ ), which is built on Jekyll and works well with Amazon CloudFront (haven't tried CloudFlare, but I'd imagine that …

Completely agree. The other problem I've seen with getting stuck on the same project for X years is that you'll have a very limited portfolio to show for it, unless you're working …

I've been dealing with similar issues for a couple of years now. At the worst point I was unable to talk in groups of unfamiliar people without my heart rapidly pounding and face f…
