> As for the 'large' company, I think his definition is valid. Where I am now we're approaching 200 employees, and it's well beyond the point where everyone knows each other (there is a term for this limit). Even for 400 people, the tra

I spent the downtime trying to figure out how to use Jade without the documentation available -- the docs are in the readme.md on the Github repo. It was only later that I realized that the docs were also available through npm ( https://npm

I've set up Gitlab at Northeastern University to explore it as an option for replacing our cgit install(s). I like the UI, but my only problem with it is that it doesn't support putting repos under a user namespace like Github does (with Gi

I set this up at my university to see if it would be a good solution for school-related project hosting. Haven't rolled out (yet), but as you said it's very promising.

Am I supposed to eschew powerful tools because there wasn't a UX guy involved in the project? If I cared that much about ease of configuration, I'd use Textmate instead of Vim, and Colloquy instead of irssi.

Accepted! Flying in from Boston.

That's a really clever solution! A side benefit is you also get to leave the reporting method and report hosting to Instagram

As far as I can tell, there's not much of an advantage to Node over Rails, but Node has realtime built-in so I'll use it instead of Rails&EventMachine. That said, they're both really fun to work with.

Not a company guy, just a student at Northeastern University's CS school. We have an IRC channel, but it's tough to explain to freshmen how to ssh into a university box and use screen+irssi, and then get them to keep doing it. If they use W

> How about future plans? Some interviews with groups that did and didn't "make it"? Agreed. I'd really like to hear more from companies that didn't make it or companies that aren't YC Allstars (Dropbox, Reddit, Posterous).

I use it for grading assignments (reading a .lisp file and writing a grade.txt file), as well as taking class notes. I also use it for editing config files (like for nginx) and dotfiles.

What? Just use whatever you're comfortable with. All the OS dogma is BS.

This is the textbook for one of my classes at Northeastern. The prerequisite class used HtDP ( http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/HtDP2e/ ) and Racket ( http://racket-lang.org/ ), and the focus was on design principles and writing good co

CCIS student here. I've only taken Fundies 1, but I really enjoy working in Racket so I'm kind of stoked for this.

Don't need it. e: I can code all night if I have to, and caffeine can totally help with that. I just don't need it to sleep deprive myself.

I totally want to, but it all comes down to cost. I'm a college freshman without a job, using my 2009 Macbook Pro's stock 320GB HDD (275GB used so far). A 256GB SSD is too expensive ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=EN

If prospects are already sold on it, would they really mind reading through the text (which is nicely styled and not that much of a read)? Usually I would agree with you on keeping the contact info and address separate somewhere up at the t

I've been using Sparrow for at least a couple of months now ("new"? Really?), and I'm very glad I switched from Mailplane. The minimally-obtrusive Tweetie 2 style interface really sold me on it. I didn't know there was a paid version -- I'm

I'm a lot like the OP [Xtac]. I was born in Oklahoma and raised to speak English. I picked up Hindi off my parents, who are from India. It's not difficult for me to speak Hindi, but it's not easy either. My limits are very basic Hindi, or p
