Never understood the emacs pinky thing to be honest. From like week 1, years ago, i realized i have to have the C- modifier in a better place.. You just remap caps-lock to ctrl and you are done.

Sorry but this is a bit dumb. If you say YES to this question: "Can you use an always online trusted third party?" Regardless of your other answers, it always says NO as a result.

Can someone give me an example of an always online trusted third party, and also let me know that how can you see into the future so that this third party keeps its guarantees throughout life?

Edit: flagging this post as it seems like a troll attempt to me

Bit of a misunderstanding here, I was referring to LinkedIn's feature of Export Profile as PDF

I don't really get the reasoning behind the downvotes. Still on topic enough to have a discussion about. Someone care to elaborate ?

Looks nice but gonna be a bit off topic and ranty, I really don't want to bother about resumes and their formats anymore. Is it really not acceptable to give a LinkedIn URL when asked for a resume, or as a recruiter if you see my LinkedIn profile, why do you still ask a resume? I think it looks well enough to replace any resume in any format, and its generally available. (of course if you don't choose to limit it to only 1st level connections)

Farsighted Note: I am aware of PDF export feature, but its very ugly..

This is very impressive, well done!

I had a naive assumption that if I post something that has been submitted before, it would auto upvote the last recently submitted topic...

On the other hand, does it really matter how many times something is reposted, as long as it gets upvotes? It naturally means that people are interested in it.

I guess its a tad bit late ?

EDIT: I watched the complete demo, seems more smart than sense. (in terms of query building)

It is quite obvious that its a joke, with the fork bomb and the response...

It's based on Raft : https://github.com/coreos/etcd/tree/master/raft

I try and find engineers whose job is to run that distributed datastore in production with a scale similar to my case. Chances are really high that even in a related IRC one can find someone for any database. And just ask for their experiences.

I actually really like this outcome of 20k going to charity :)

Thank you for the info! But I also think that this will not get a lot of coverage, if I need to learn this address from a comment in HN.. Hope it does somehow..

Pieter, in the article you wrote "Think of the Children" and wanted readers to write stories, which is a really nice idea.. How about we think of the children and donate some money? Is it possible to share a donation address/endpoint ?

Cool idea! But man, Gary Bernhardt's WAT talk, even though i saw it at least 10 times, still cracks me up...

As a person who doesn't understand a single thing about front-end, I really appreciate the existence of bootstrap, especially when I need to just put an OK looking dashboard together...

PS: for the sake of sharing http://bootswatch.com/

i am sorry but this is a very elitist comment, please consider all the successful startups that are born outside of Bay Area/US and really smart people who work on them...

I think its pretty clear, the time invested in a mba degree is quite enough to really improve or learn new technical skills.

I have always felt like distributed locks are a flimsy design but will take a good look at this implementation.

Author here, if you have a chance i would strongly urge you to check out this project from facebook. (in case you missed it)

Dutch directness has a side effect of coming across as arrogant, its merely a difference in culture[0].

For example, if you are Dutch and your friends are Dutch, you don't go on and ask "how are you?" to the people that aren't close to you.

The question "how are you?" is actually there for you to show genuine interest in someone else's life at that moment. The polar opposite of it is the US version i guess, where a "how are you?" results almost always with a "fine and you?".

On another note, i think the main reason(i might be very wrong here) that they had this clash is Alan Kay being a pioneer in object oriented programming. And Dijkstra's counter-discourses against it and sometimes those discourses were harsh[1]. (Although we can agree oop is garbage :D, that is certainly not the best way to put it.)

[0]: Although i have met some Dutch people that were being rude and trying to cover it with "Directness"

Please excuse my ignorance on this topic.

- Why is this happening in the first place?

- Who is this entity that grants a loose patent?

- Why isn't this entity being interrogated ?

Wouldn't it be better to __try__ to create a global movement within the industry for employees to feed accurate data to glassdoor?

Sidenote: Most of the people around here knows glassdoor but i have worked with a lot of people who never heard of it..

Worked with them before, really nice bunch of people and a cool project that solves a true pain point.

Best of luck!

No, the focus should be eating the right amount of healthy food.

Is there any reason for google to allow this in their play store ? Serious question here, i cannot think of apple allowing the same kind of an app for google in app store...

I guess yes there is some nostalgia involved, btw i removed it, its just that i feel disrespectful whenever a list like that doesn't include doom

I see your point and it makes sense but won't you agree a story line or a rich description of game play won't make the same or perhaps a better impact on the potential buyer ?

Of course i am assuming there is a story line or nice gameplay..

To give an example: my favorite game of all times, Ultima Online has at __best__, __meh__ graphics..I remember i got hooked before i even installed it, not because of the screen shots but the way the game magazine editor was telling his own experience how he got murdered while fishing quietly in a small town..

Look these games at best can be __good__..

But lets talk about Legendary ones: might & magic series, planescape torment, baldur's gate, day of the tentacle, neverwinter nights, monkey island series, ultima online, warcraft 1, starcraft 1, diablo 1, heroes of mm & Ultima 1/2/3 etc...

The games you are listing can be highly rated, but they will not be remembered..
