OP, This looks great! Having the index on the left is a huge improvement and limiting the text length is definitely helpful. Now I don't have to resize my window to a smaller size every time I open it.

A lot of HN tends to dislike anything "new", please don't let it get to you :)

Actually I dont know about a library, I got the idea and the core code for the effect from http://lamberta.github.io/html5-animation/

Yes you are right. The website is meant as a landing page for an event. But yeah, I should make the game mode more obvious and straight forward to get to.

I also got a 500 when trying to signup with facebook. When asked about posting I selected privacy as "Only Me". Maybe that had something to do with it.

Anyway I love the website and learning tracks.

git is a distributed system. Everyone else has a full copy of the repository. therefore everyone actually has a backup.

Brilliant stuff. I'm too attached to chrome to let it go completely but this is brilliant when quickly opening links from other apps. Nice stuff

Wrote a script which plays using a simple greedy approach. Chooses the current best option. Doesn't seem to get past 512 so far. It does however consistently get till 256. Just copy the code in the console and restart the game (space bar) to run.

Does anybody have a better approach? Other than randomize and trying your luck? Or maybe that is the best algorithm for this case..

Can you divulge what kinds of information is stored in it. Or the encoding it uses?

I cant seem to get any legible data.

Actually the first few characters remained the same with page loads.

For the vim users the fugitive plugin by tpope provides a nice way to do this using vim's vimdiff. It is a delight to use.

Here is a video of vimcasts tutorial. http://vimcasts.org/episodes/fugitive-vim-working-with-the-g...

yes I saw that and its pretty great. I'm thinking of applying. have you done it, if so any tips?

Couldnt it have been wind? or is the whether on mars really calm.

Since I cant edit the post, I am going to add my github link here. It's not much so far.

Thanks I've done that!

In the android app the line "Create a ListView that groups the recent commits by author in a custom view." is confusing to me. What I get from that is something of this form:

    author1:
        commit1
        commit2
        ...
    author2:
        ...

Do you mind posting a simple walkthrough for the answer

I'm curious. How does Uberwriter handle code? ``` fenced code or indented? Does it support it?

you could look at the source of mediacrush for this. https://github.com/MediaCrush/MediaCrush

Edit: It uses ffmpeg

Anybody has good resources (preferably free) on creating online visualizations. Not links to the d3.js documentation but good tutorials creating visualizations you often use on the internet. Like creating your own cool dashboard and stuff like that.

Can you explain more on how two sessions would work? I mean if the hijacker hijacks the http session he can convert it to https by following the same steps the user does. Since amazon does not ask the user to reauthenticate on https pages.

Alot of ecommerce sites (Amazon, Flipkart) seem to use HTTP over HTTPS. Even when you're logged in. These sessions can easily be hijacked. I assume this is because of the handshake latency of HTTPS. Is there no way around this latency to make your website feel faster? I imagine there isnt, because even amazon uses HTTP.

I've noticed this too. Alot of ecommerce sites use HTTP for browsing. I assume this is because of speed. However I dont see why the session cannot be hijacked? If i copy all of the cookies how will the server differentiate the hijacker from the user. They both have the same cookies.

Hello, Would you mind sharing about front end libraries (js, css) you've used. The interface is beautiful and efficient. I'd love to hear a bit more about it.

So to make my chances in the future better, it would be better for to spend time on sites like topcoder honing on my algorithmic skills rather than say, experimenting with nodejs. Or does this depend on the company/job I am applying to?

In real job interviews are these skills more valued than real experience with real technologies? I mean worked with different languages and frameworks on different problems? or as a graduate having good algorithmic skills is far more important than those?

As a student who will soon graduate this is a real dilemma. Do i learn and practice more algorithmic problems to get better at that side, or learn and work with as many technologies I can to get some 'real world' experience.

I love vim's keybindings and cant work without them. I really like sublime but i just cant leave vim's keybindings which makes me so much efficient. Last time I tried a vim emulator for sublime it didn't go so well. it wasnt as smooth and limiting. I hope someone perfects the vim+sublime combo because that would be killer.

Cant get past level 19.

Maldives. I was hoping to get more information on the visa process. How difficult it is, etc.

I would love for something like this to be open source. Where I can contribute and create a better launcher as a community. This is a great start. Would love to contribute more.
