Three metrics you pointed out: 1. Linter 2. Cyclomatic/halstead complexity 3. identifier naming convention testing

Are those really things that candidates can get a negative ding for? Those are things that can/should be handled automatically by libraries or your CI/CD (ex: Rubocop)

More importantly, how do you get more details/nuance over things like naming or cyclomatic complexity.

I think their value over the long term is similar to tripadvisor/yelp - while anyone can come in a create a repository of home sharing they wouldn't have the reviews/reputation data as AirBnB has. Going into someone's home / letting someone in your home, just like hotel reviews or restaurant, reviews/ratings can matter in the decision making process.

Pointer Pointer 12 years ago

Haha, this thing is hilarious. Great job. I wonder if the author manually went through images locating the finger or there was some automated way of doing it. I did notice that if you move the pointer is certain ~20x20 areas the same picture appears. I'm guessing the set of images is small enough to just manually do it.

Violating the lease is probably the biggest issue imo with Airbnb. I think part of it is that we so often gloss over legal contracts and the concept of airbnb where you can just "rent out a room" doesn't FEEL like anything wrong. If as a tenant you know it's wrong, it FEELs like a petty offense which you shouldn't be penalized for or it FEELs like a broken law.

Saw this on product hunt in the morning and been playing around with it. Everything automatically gets saved in local storage and after I fullscreen/desktop the app, it makes it super easy to switch back and forth from what you're working on. I've been using good ol "data:text/html, <html contenteditable>" for simple note-taking so this is definitely an improvement.

Suggestion: Would be cool if CMD + ` could switch between different tabs/sections.

I hope Mr.Hiroshima writes a blog post detailing what happened. I'm particularly interested in whether Twitter has implemented any changes in the way they handle high value handles/or all to prevent others who've experienced this with their Twitter account.

Never seen art like this before. I'm interested to see if I were a stranger walking by would my eyes totally miss the guy.

Why buy AMC when they can just hire the executives who made the calls on those shows? With a market cap of about $4b, AMC is pretty damn huge. Sure the content would be included but still hard to justify.

"Russian crews are allowed to consume vegetables grow on their side of the space station"

I thought that line was the funniest in the article. I can imagine an image of Vladimir munching his veggies as poor Joe looks on.

Felt the same way and thought I should share. The part where he says: "“The pattern now seems to be, everybody has to reveal, ‘I’m gay!’ ” Mr. Leedom said. “But the word didn’t exist in our life, and we just were. It wasn’t something you had to ever articulate. It didn’t matter..." I found that particularly interesting. My understanding of modern day gay culture is that coming out is a type of rite of passage. To them that concept seemed foreign in a way.

Something like that is actually a great idea. My thought was more along the lines of economics of same day delivery. It's incredibly expensive at the moment for a number of factors one of them being employee costs but also inefficiencies in volume and demand for the service. Self driving cars I figure solve some of these issues.

<i>"But nobody is forcing you to make that commitment in the first place."</i>

The author's point is that many people with this "disorder" continue to make commitments they cannot keep. It is Jason Freedman who says "The one who can’t seem to consistently set the alarm clock for A.M. and not P.M. I know how it feels to be the undependable one."

If you are consciously aware of this, yet continue to make these commitments - then the author I believe argues you are a "lazy", "sissy."

Why I Froze My Eggs 13 years ago

Her point seems to be that by doing it, she isn't burdened by that question.

The idea of freezing your eggs is still way too cost prohibitive for most women. This is unfortunate because it leaves only the "Sheryl Sandberg"s of world- wealthy and educated to take advantage of this opportunity.

It's fascinating to see how some of the main constructs that help define a city ie. major roads, intersections, are still highly visible and intact over 100 years later.

Would recommend "The City in History" by Lewis Mumford. Great read about how cities have formed, died, and some renewed throughout history.

XMPP and Jabber 13 years ago

I'm implementing a Google Talk jabber client and I'm curious whether or not it allows sending messages as links. It doesn't seem to automatically parse them into clickable ones. Not much luck on the XML alteration....

interestingly all the types of people you name- data scientists, quantum physicist, blah blah - are all the same types of people who crunched numbers for the big banks only a few years back until making moves into tech.

im totally for data crunching and analytics but there's a human side of the business that gets overlooked when a team is so heavily decked like this.
