I'm sorry you didn't have a good interview at Digg. My goal, then and now, is that even people who don't get an offer should leave feeling okay about the process. I clearly didn't live up to that with you, and I apolog

This is what I started from to create the ePub. If you look all the way back in the repo history, the first commit is a mirror of those files.

Wow, lame. It works with PDF, I assumed it would work with ePub. I assumed wrong.

If you put the URL into Safari on your iPad, it should prompt you to open it in iBooks.

I sympathize; I was in a simliar situation around five years ago. There are three things I've done which have been responsible for literally every job I've had in the last decade. In order of importance, they have been: 1. Know people. 2.

Clever shortcut to use JS literals, which means that parsing it can be read with eval(), but the syntax sure is awful. No symbols to speak of, no keywords, and commas everywhere.

I like your hypothesis. I bought a 16gb iPad the week after they came out. I didn't really have a need for it, I just wanted to see if it was interesting. I had a very simliar experience as the author. My wife has little but distain for my

I have a wide array of taste, but when working, I primarily listen to metal. The key here is something with a fast and steady beat, which really gets me into the groove. It's hard to automatically classify this kind of music, so I have a ha

Comments are denormalized and stored two ways: One in a plain ColumnFamily (for random access) and one in a SuperCF (for sequential access). The plain CF ("Comments") uses the comment ID (which is a timestamp+salt) as the row key. The field

Just like it's important to learn multiple languages to be a well-rounded programmer, you should train in multiple styles of martial arts to become a well-rounded fighter. I recommend kickboxing for learning fundamentals of open-hand stand

1. Perhaps you could keep the PHP-style syntax around under a different name. 2. Sweet. 3. (:some_array 4) seems perfectly reasonable. Would that interact with superglobals the same way? e.g. ($:server "PHP_SELF"). I believe that PHP 5.3 or

Nice start. I was considering something simliar, but I just didn't care enough about PHP to work on it. Stuff that I'd like to see improved: 1. if/elseif/else syntax is pretty ugly. What are the chances of getting if/when/unless/cond? 2. Ni

I was specifically writing about features Lisp pioneered which other languages adopted. I think it's enlightening to understand the roots and history of things, and fint it amazing that such an old language pioneered so many fundamental con

I got tired of fixing layouts in IE and decided it would be more fun to break it instead.

No, what I’m doing is pointing out that his opinions are a) wrong and b) delivered with right-wing spin. As such, you should not take what he says about matters political at face value.

I don't know what ESR's politics looked like before, but he's been in deep teabagger territory for a while now. I would take anything he says on the subject of politics with… Well, I'd just not take it. He can pretend to be objective, but t

I read that paper around six months ago. I found it a little dry at first, and then absolutely enlightening. It's amazing what beautiful and complex things can be built with such a small handful of functions.
