And to think that SC's engineering is praised among college kids is laughable.

I've recently lost 35 pounds in the last 4 months. It was challenging, but I wanted it. I currently have 20 more pounds to lose. Here are some things that worked for me: Calorie counting. Weight loss is truly the most simple thing ever. All you have to do is eat less to lose weight. I also maintain a more active life by getting exercise daily in the form of walking or running. Since I've lost weight my mile time has improved by the minutes.

Dropbox owes you nothing. Zero. You need a new setup. Consider hosting your own domain.

I really find Corporate Speak annoying as hell. How could anyone read this and take it seriously? ..."Here at Dropbox.. We earn your trust...". The whole "Here at $X" is the most annoying part.

Meanwhile, Zuck'N Fuck is trying to figure out how we can click on more ads.

Edit: because at the end of the day, Facebook doesn't make the world a better place.

How does this compare to murmurhash3?

when a metric becomes a target...

Yes, also, a lot of companies try to emulate Google's interview style for engineering.

Yes, my bad.

Tried to compile it, it worked, but it segfaults on executing `./vm`

I use gist and github for my personal drawer of code snippets. For example, At a time I was writing a lot of C code. I would typically look at my previous projects to see how I've done things in order to not have to re implement my own functions.

    buf = calloc(huge, huge);
    if (errno) perror("calloc failed");
    printf("calloc(huge, huge) returned: %p\n", buf);
    free(buf);

This has a flaw. errno doesn't magically get reset to zero. You should check the return value of calloc, then use errno. Checking if(errno) is not the right way to determine if there was an error.

FastMail does not offer any type of phone support.

Probably the royal class who doesn't have anything to do with peasants.

I only have an i5 and 6 GB of Ram, so running directly in the VM isn't that good on performance. I just run a linux server as a VM, not a full desktop. It works well for me.

I do it. It helps to always have the VM on in the background, so logging into it is as easy as firing up cygwin and ssh'ing in. Also, you should set up samba, so you can edit files in your text editor of choice remotely.

Why would you tells someone on HN who is probably a software engineer to apply to google for non software engineer roles?

If only Fitbit's products had a longer lasting battery. I bought the Charge HR and it lasts for maybe 3 days.

This was way too long for me to read. I wish she would just get to the damn point instead of going into pointless details about her feelings, etc.

I read your post, but still have no idea what you said. It reminds of Eric B at TechCrunch Disrupt interrupting Gavin Belson's interview with the press.

It's not clear to me what this does. Maybe I'm out of the loop on this, I understand middleware, but what does this do?

Use the Fast Mail mobile app for a week, then tell me this again.

What do you mean you people?

Statements are inside the brackets as well

Could someone like Zuck ever run for president or be elected?

Python does not look like C. The first thing I can think of is using traditional loop counters instead of the for..in construct.

What the hell is C-Like Python?

That's pretty cool that the executable will run on Windows 10 today. I have respect for Windows, but that is really impressive.

One of the most annoying things about PuTTY is that the black default background is too dark to see. For example, I always have to change it to light background because I can't see my VIM buffer very easily. It also handle the alt arrow keys.

Who decides this? I imagine it's much more than a developer's decision. It may be a higher up decision based on business goals.
