Command-line interfaces seem to involve two main parts. The commands themselves (ls, mv, rm, and so on) and the arbitrary parameters supplied to them (all files with the .txt extension or compiler flags). For the former hand gestures would

A very general rule I learned is that png's are best for images with large areas of the same color (screenshots, logos, text) while jpegs are best for images with lots of color variation (real-life pictures, for example).

They're not really equivalent. MRSA evolved in hospitals from whatever strains were resistant to drugs. Otherwise it's been in the environment for a while and there's not really an ecological risk. On the other hand, we have no idea how a c

The problem is that those organisms will grow very quickly and are prone to mutations. You'd end up with a huge population of rapidly evolving critters, something you can never predict.

Listing any relevant names for the position is a huge plus. I'm tired of first cycling through all the matches for "NYC", then everything for "New York City". Another thing I'd like to see is differentiating full-time and part-time/internsh

Eating late at night can be okay, as long as you don't eat within 3 hours of going to sleep. Maybe take a late-night walk as well to help the food digest?

Do you know if they are also willing to hire interns for the summer for dev positions?

There are some good points in there, but if Zed really wanted to change people's minds or the book itself, he wouldn't have insulted the author and thrown profanity around where it suited him. Rants don't convince anyone, and only serves to

He wrote earlier that he's basically doing both, with http://oppugn.us/ for rants, which can be contributed by other people as well, and http://sheddingbikes.com/ for more thoughtful and calmer essays.

Basically, use maps to represent data structures where you'd use several different classes in an OO language, since in principle you're still basing the same data structure from function to function.

I'm still not convinced by the use of nothing but 'Hello, world' for the performance comparisons. Sure there may be some cases where you only need similar functionality, but since Yii's advantage comes from lazy loading features like DB lib

Would you be willing to hire students part-time this summer? I'd like to work in web development since that is where most of my experience is.

The whole situation seems similar to physical books in stores. Anyone can walk in, pick one up, read, and never pay a cent. But publishers don't complain about that. Because most people won't try to read whole books this way. It's inconveni

It's not strictly necessary, tail recursion is enabled in Pharen ( http://github.com/scriptor/pharen ) by compiling it into a while loop. By the way, the docs on that page are way out of date so if anyone is interested feel free to contact

HN is still supposed to have a fairly narrow range of topics. With the userbase growing so quickly, a lot of people may not read the guidelines and the content could start spilling into subjects not really meant for HN. In that case, I thin

I'd say it's not worthwhile to write about programming if people already have high expectations for you. Spolsky is definitely well-known and some people probably view him as somewhat full of himself, so they like to pick out anything tha

Ok, I didn't mean for my comment to seem a bit snarky, which I think it did. He made some valid points and I just wanted to see the discussion continue.

The only problem with their review system is that paid reviews can skew things. Still, I find that just reading a good sample (especially the negative reviews) and seeing if the points brought up in them pertain to me works very well.

His point still stands, Google Product is pretty much exactly what you described, so what would convince me to use your service instead? As for frameworks, I don't think there's a ready-made package for what you need. You'll have to harvest

I think Google Products ( http://www.google.com/products?hl=en ) is pretty similar to what you're looking for. I'm not sure if you can purchase the products through it.
