I'd also like to point out that Stack Overflow's database is available to the public under the creative commons license. Quora's database is not.

I want a terminal that is consistent on all machines.

Hooks? You mean method overriding.

Hook as a term is more used in a callback context.

this blog is sketchy, flooded with ads and obviously trying to drive traffic to it. Why not just post the github link?

The way I see it, you wrote an article to tell us you know about bloom filter and your interviewee doesn't.

SO provides their database content for free under creative commons license. efreedom is not doing anything illegal.

It really depends on what kind of software development job you are looking for. I believe writing a web server will teach you a lot. You'll learn more about the HTTP protocol and you'll learn/master socket programming.

It is obvious that this link is just to bring more traffic to tuaw.com. This is becoming ridiculous on HN.

This is exactly what mark zuckerberg did. [sarcasm]

IMHO, you invalidate an idea after you implement it and see the user's reactions. Before then, you cannot know if it will succeed or not.

Thanks for the feedback! :)

I submitted stk8.co few days ago but it barely got the attention.

stk8.co allows you to stack several Links or Text and share them under one shortened url.

It embeds a preview of the link for common services like youtube, vimeo, amazon, cnn, scribd, etc...

Here are couple of examples:

http://stk8.co/sample

It also has a bookmarklet for easy stacking. The bookmarklet is transparent, one click is all what it takes to stack a link.

You could have used stk8.co :)

IMHO, websites should include a single js file. In development you can have 100 js files, but in production these should be combined into a single file.

The downside is that you might include things you don't need in all pages, but that's not an issue because the file is transferred once, and cached. This will also minimize future conditional GET requests that check wether the cached file has changed or not.

Thanks for your feedback!

That's the closest we found to stack-it. :)

Sample stacks:

This is one feature of http://stk8.co

http://stk8.co/Wpbbbc

But stk8.co supports links as well, like:

http://stk8.co/gkbbbc

:)

It is equivalent to going to a media site that uses the like button, where it shows your friends who liked the page.

But we are still debating on whether to keep it or not because it significantly increases the time it takes to load a page.

Thanks for the feedback.

http://stk8.co is a tool that allows you to shorten a stack of links. The links are embedded and properly formatted for easy viewing. Here's a couple of stacks to share with you:

You can also use the bookmarklet for easier stacking.

Using tables is not a bad thing. I don't know how people came to this conclusion.

gmail lists emails using tables. What's wrong with that?

1. The practice of programming

2. Advanced programming in the unix environment

There is a great book called, experience, and that you cannot buy from amazon.

You feel your code is clunky because of lack of design. And lack of design comes from the fact that we usually don't know what we want to design till we design it. This is where prototypes come in handy because prototypes shed the light on problems that we didn't foresee. Rule of thumb for prototype code is to throw it away once you are done.

What I am trying to say here is that you don't need a book to learn what you are asking for, you need experience.

Yes and let's call JSON, XML 2.0?

You need to fallback into regular file select if the browser doesn't support it. :)

Well done!

How about adding drag/drop mechanism for browsers that supports it? That will be really convenient because I can just drag the files and move on.

I'll see what I can do.

off topic, I like the design. Can I get in touch with the designer?

The syntax hurts my eyes.

Just translate it to javascript.

I disagree with him on the include part. It is very difficult to remember the order of includes + dependencies for each file you want to include. It becomes very messy.
