By being one of the first to stand up you are able to get your luggage faster (if any), skip a few rows down the aisle, get out the plane faster, and ultimately get to the immigrat…

I have just relocated to SF from London and have onsite interviews at all of the big tech companies. I haven’t interviewed in a long time so thinking about the best way to prepare …

> People literally spend all their time doing this, if there was free money to be made someone would be making it:) I used to think this, then I worked on a trading system in an in…

Wow! I wish I was in SF. Hopefully someone as friendly as you will be doing this in London (UK) next year.

Brilliant idea. I think this is pretty awesome. However, from my (brief) usage of the landing page, I don't quite understand who will be doing the delegated work. Will it be some i…

For my final year project of my CS degree, I'm building a Faceted Search interface for Twitter. Essentially it will allow facets to be used to filter the results that are returned …

Thanks for this. I feel I can now go back and cover all the math i've forgotten since the first couple CS years (only a couple years ago!). I'm not really sure if it is worth the t…

This sounds awesome. Unfortunately I don't want to login with my Facebook account.

I'm not sure what to think of this. I can appreciate why you think this is a problem that needs to be solved. But I can't help feel a bit wrong about it. From a technical standpoin…

This looks super interesting and useful, really quick too. Most of the bugs I've spotted have already been mentioned. I noticed you've open sourced a bunch of your modules in Javas…

I bought both last year in late 2010 when they came out. I really wanted to keep the 11 but the 13 was just a much better all rounder. I always wished I had kept the 11. But once y…

I find that you always stumble upon fantastic articles. Recently I learnt to accept that I will never be able to read all of them and that in-fact it's better if I don't. Instead I…

Just turn up? I'm a CS student at Edinburgh and always planned to hit up techmeetup but something always came up (coursework). Last year now, last chance!

I'm using vico right now, but this has got me super excited!

I meant to say "grid frameworks". Of course grids are highly relevant to design. My problem is with the grid frameworks that are bulky with preset classes that expect me to use in …

I'm really trying to understand whether grids are relevant to me as a web dev. I've been looking for good boilerplate code for a long time now and haven't been able to extract any …

UK or US? I'm selling my 13" Macbook air (it is literally in perfect condition) on ebay UK.

Hacker News (and Signal vs. Noise usually once a week) I don't have too much time to keep up with various blogs. If it's worth reading, it's normally front page on HN.

Hey HN So this week I need to choose a project for the final year of my Computer Science degree at the University of Edinburgh. We have been given a list of ~150 pre-approved proje…

TM2 is a lost cause. I'm banking on Coda 2 now!

I read this and thought TextMate 2 was out for some reason :)

Will learning Ruby better give me a new perspective and reinforce my Java knowledge or will it just distract me? I'll already need to learn extended ML for my functional programmin…
