_RPM··on A few drawings about Linux
What's the dialect of C that the kernel is written in? You need the GNU compiler, but would that be considered a dialect?
_RPM··on A few drawings about Linux
Comparing Windows to Linux. I find Linux much more simpler. Is this by design? Why does Windows seem much more complicated and complex? Compare the Windows API to Linux API.
_RPM··on Increase Hacker News Font Size?
I zoom in too on Chrome. Not sure why they make it so small.
_RPM··on Ask HN: Have you ever got tired of programming?
I'm tired of doing coding challenges
_RPM··on C puzzles
For the hello-out one, it's because stderr isn't buffered output, while stdin is. You can change this by calling setbuf(stdout, NULL);

How does it determine the search engine queries leading to the page?
_RPM··on Basic Flashlight Tutorial
This web page froze my web browser due to the multiple tracking domains it loads. I flagged this.
_RPM··on Live Presidential Forecast
Why is voting actually hard to do? Even though we're so encouraged to vote, there is a lot of red tape. For example, depending on your street address, you may have to vote at a garden variety pick of a building. At my university, I couldn't vote in building A because my apartment was on street X. I ultimately was not able to vote today because it was actually _hard_ to vote.
_RPM··on Walgreen Sues Theranos, Seeks $140 Million in Damages
This perfectly illustrates the founders and CTO. Their arrogance is striking.
_RPM··on Walgreen Sues Theranos, Seeks $140 Million in Damages
No. I'm glad to see extremely privileged well connected individuals getting fair treatment and not special treatment like they may have gotten all their lives.
_RPM··on Walgreen Sues Theranos, Seeks $140 Million in Damages
He seems pretty ruthless; willing to do anything to make money. Running a spam operation is a questionable act. These same attitudes and acts of moral wrongdoing seem to perpetuate along the operations of his current company (Airbnb). What's to stop him except of course the risk of facing criminal legal charges?
_RPM··on Walgreen Sues Theranos, Seeks $140 Million in Damages
I think you should re read your statement. In particular: "..constant battle to save their company". Is a person who raises 500 million in funding constantly at a battle to save their company?
_RPM··on Walgreen Sues Theranos, Seeks $140 Million in Damages
I'm actually pleased to hear that a tech company is going to perish. Too many of them think they are invincible (airbnb)
_RPM··on Things I will tell my kids if they become entrepreneurs [slides]
Possibly. Even though I'm down voted, it's true. People just don't like to admit it.
_RPM··on Things I will tell my kids if they become entrepreneurs [slides]
+ Privilege You can't leave that variable out.
_RPM··on Ask HN: What are some well designed CLI apps?
apps? not sure that is the right term. I'd much rather see the word program. apps is a thing of the various phone providers (apple, android)
_RPM··on Ask HN: What is your personal opinion about GitHub stars?
I think that would be a network effect.

Stripe is really the next Google with their innovative technology. They really are solving hard Computer Science problems.
_RPM··on The Linux Foundation Unites the JavaScript Community for Open Web Development
Yarn is brand new but NPM is not. To you they are equvilent.
_RPM··on Invented here syndrome (2015)
Yes, it's called hazing. You seem surprised and confused about this.
_RPM··on Ask HN: How to fill holes in my knowledge
Practice Hacker Rank challenges until you can't anymore.
_RPM··on Invented here syndrome (2015)
The funny thing is, when you're interviewing, your blog, open source projects, etc won't count. I know this might not seem real, but it's the truth.
_RPM··on Invented here syndrome (2015)
Do you think this guy could pass the hazing rituals of bay area companies? Reverse this binary tree for me, that'll tell me if you're a good programmer.
_RPM··on Ask a Female Engineer: Interviewing and Company Culture
I have just learned how to merge two sorted list because I do believe it is a good thing to know and I appreciate the algorithm. I have no memorized it, just an iterative vs recursive tree traversal.
_RPM··on Ask HN: How do you debug code?
I usually will look at the input, and then look at my output. If it's not what I expect, I look at the code. Then I'll discover something usually. It's hard to articulate how I do it. I couldn't pass one of those hacker rank style challenges for 2 or 3 companies this year out of the box, but I think I can debug code pretty well.

_RPM··on Most Unit Testing Is Waste (2014) [pdf]
This comment reminds me of a typical response from a politician to a pressing question.
_RPM··on Most Unit Testing Is Waste (2014) [pdf]
What was the definition of code coverage at your shop? Does it mean testing every line of execution?
_RPM··on Rant HN: I hate hackerrank
