Thanks! Re the margin notes, the footnote numbers are clickable to toggle them inline when the width is too small... I should add a bit of color or underline to them in the css so that this is easier to intuit. :/

I was actually asked Fizz Buzz in an interview once, but I did not have this solution at the time. My favorite FizzBuzz solution is actually: ``` ->(n){[[["Fizz"][n%3],["Buzz"][n%5]].join].find(->{n}){|w| w if !w.e

Not sure how this came back around into the zeitgeist today, but this is my post from awhile back. Thanks to all who had nice things to say about it. I'm definitely an amateur mathematician, though I tried my best to write the post lik

I don't even ask anymore. If I'm writing an app for you, I'm starting with tests, before I even write a line of executable code. If you don't want tests for your app, you'll need to find a different developer. It's not an optional part of t

Maybe this is nitpicking, but did the author this article do zero fact-checking? >Mr. Mitnick, who ... is publishing his first book in August... Er... Following the link to his "first book" leads to Mr. Mitnick's website, whose products

Rspec doesn't really need to be in the default stack; switching to it takes what; a minute? That's not a benchmarked timestamp, but I'm just saying... :-)

Totally agree. Reading HN, blogs/etc is fine, but the net result is: more time reading == less time doing [whatever]. Play + Build should absolutely be 90% of the activity of a would-be developer. Most of the rest of the list could go away.

Mini-ask HN: Why link to a techcruch article when you could just link to the startup's website? I'm not trying to be ornery, sincerely asking. I'm not interested in reading a techcrunch article about a new startup. I'd rather go straight to

I'm not sure about it being the "first"; The Minnesota Cup ( http://breakthroughideas.org/ ) has been around for awhile, and http://minnestar.org has done some micro-seed funding. http://speedylemur.com is also local to Minneapolis, tho

Overwhelmed with traffic? Would really like to see this. :-) If it has an API I'd love to tie something like this to http://tldrd.com to auto-generate summaries of various texts.

But "Really?" is actually a very good question; it's an appeal to common sense. Do we all work at places where only 1% of the programmers can actually program? I know I haven't... even when I just started and was clearly the least experienc
