Unfortunately OVH doesn't have any data centers in the US although they seem to be working on them.

It would be nice if Facebook's register an account pop-up didn't occupy 1/4 of the screen.

Is the Full-Stack Engineer position remote or onsite? The posting is too clear on that. Thanks.

I know I'm not the first (or last) to do this but I was interested in how Markov Chains work so I decided to create a simple Twitter Bot that submits generated HN titles.

If anyone has any tips on how to improve it feel free to share. The source is available at https://github.com/zcr1/hn-markov

This is why people got upset about the original post from Zed. One dude whining in a blog does not equal mass dissent in the community. The choice is inconsequential for 99% of programmers and hardly a difficult decision - flip a damn coin if you cannot decide. I make 100x more decisions when it comes to front-end development than I ever have with python 2 vs 3.

Before it was announced I was 100% sure going to grab a new MacBook Pro but now I find myself looking at refurbished 2015 models.

Have you ever tried to buy a .com domain dude? There's hardly any useful names left.

Turns out VC's don't give companies millions of dollars for nothing :)

Are you referring to the em-dash?

What an inspirational group of people.

I was curious how much altitude would affect aging so I did a quick google search. "The atomic clock calculated that for every 12 inches of elevation, 90 billionths of a second are added to a lifetime (79 years)"

The content is gzipped so it actually loads 384kb.

In fairness you definitely do not need everything listed here to have a perfectly fine web app. I think it's more beneficial to add in things when you find a use case for it. You probably don't need 3 unit testing libraries, you don't need Redux to use React, nor do you need Immutable to use Redux.

I guess that makes Hotz one of the "jokers" now?

Yeah you are correct.

Django + React is an awesome combination that I recommend taking a look at. This repo is a good starting point but you can probably get rid of half of the dependencies if you aren't working on a team of developers.

I am currently using Django + React on a personal project and took a slightly different route, no pun intended. Rather than using react router, as I never really liked client side routing, I use Django views to hydrate all the necessary props for the page and have a base template that loads the React component with the props. Since each page / component is fairly self-contained I also decided against using any Redux / Flux implementations. Furthermore, it only takes a few hours of work to get server side rendering up and running thanks to react + node.

Lmao

There's rumors it's related to a pending charge for grooming of a minor online, who knows though. I'm sure we will find out the real reason in the next few days so I'll wait for that rather than go into full tinfoil hat conspiracy theory territory.

If it's a startup the more likely scenario is no QA employees and minimal test coverage.

Reminds me when my boss got pissed at me because we were discussing moving all deployments to production after 5pm and I replied something along the line "I'm not going to be on the hook after hours to fix problems other people caused".

Techcrunch spams HN quite a bit.

He's talking about pigeons.

Not saying it's a good interview question, but if you ever need to quickly estimate exponents of 2 just remember 2^10 bytes=1kb, 2^20=1mb, 2^30=1gb, etc. so 2^14 would be 16kb.

Yahoo and Twitter have been getting torn apart the past few weeks, coincidentally when they are selling. Probably a little bit of column A and column B.

There's already a few popular services that do password management i.e. LastPass & 1password. Unless you are describing something different?

Spend your time building shit instead of reading Cracking the Coding Interview and wasting time on Hacker Rank / Leetcode. There's the university.

Based on my cursory research men peak physically in their mid to late 20's.

I use to live next to a highway with the closets exit being a few miles away and I would constantly get drivers on the highway as my closest driver. I always had to cancel since they were actually ~15 minutes away, not 3-5.

If I don't write tasks in a TODO list I get anxious I'll forget about it forever. Even if I don't plan on doing a task anytime soon I like to jot it down so I have the freedom to forget about it.

Minification + gzip is probably enough depending on your needs. Bootstrap, which is a fairly large css framework, is 23kb from the CDN link on their site.
