Give them a free copy of Clean Code[1], I started to care about my code more after I read that book.

You cannot sit and review each commit, the best you can do is to make them care about code.

Reading : After dark by Haruki Murakami

Read: No Place to Hide by Glenn Greenwald

Just curious, which browser engine does it use?

this is great! ncurses never dies.

Highly recommend following his twitter feed: https://twitter.com/Pinboard Full of awesome sarcasm.

/plug Also, I love Pinboard so much that I wrote an Android app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.shreesh.pin) which I plan to improve/fix.

Awesome news! I was a regular user until the repeats bummed me out. Hope it gets better from here on.

At a glance, IO2014 seems clearly focussed on:

- Design.

- Pushing Chrome/ Web apps

- Games and wearables on Android

Seems like the start of pushing mWeb instead of apps for consuming web content.

very well written.

Comment from the source[1]:

  We have already created that oat file above with
  CreateOatFile. Originally this was just our own proprietary 
  file but now it is contained within an ELF dynamic object
  (aka an .so file)
 

Seems like oat file might be enclosed in an ELF container and might support linking of shared libraries.

Awesome application of sound sonification[1]. Generate ambient sound based on data is hard, hope they can nail it.

From my experience most of the H1B candidates who might join a company with lower wage at first, can and will negotiate for higher pay when they change company. I think the days of hiring H1B candidates at lower wages and thinking of _retaining_ them are gone and the companies do realize that.

when you think; for $199 you can buy a HTC one and flash an AOSP ROM vs pay the same for MotoX. I would go with HTC One every time.

Important factor is how many of the "qualified" candidates clear the interviews? The problem is not the lack of people to interview, it's the lack of people who clear interviews.

I once tried to code an assignment involving TF-IDF on a corpus of docs. It ran blazingly fast compared to python. But was debugging segmentation faults until the last minute.

i am pushing 30 but I look barely 22. Needless to say, everyone i meet assumes that i am younger to them.

Never knew this is a "method" worthy of an article. Every one in India[AFAIK] knows this.

Its for the better. First step towards a 'news push'[ex. Google currents] rather than a 'news pull'

"Why I left Google" - said no Guido ever.

school rankings should include "bullying" score.

New Yahoo: Google News dipped in Purple.

He already said it. So i didn't click the link.

only the famous get mocked.

i wonder how so they test maps? I mean, there cant be test cases for every major co-ordinates. Probably Apple fucked up in their maps testing.

i demand a narrative about the turtle by David Attenborough in the background.

If you are going to use python for ML. Use the python package from Entthought [http://www.enthought.com/products/epd_free.php]

It has most of the libraries, out of the box.

this is great. i always felt that the most common webpages we visit would be great if they were to be rendered in terminal in text only; hackernews,reddit,news,mail etc.

One of the reasons for the negative comments might be the sheer number of applications being developed and showcased.

Hence, many of the projects tend to bring in some deja-vu and the commenters are drawn to the lack of features more than usual.
