Quizlet is a learning platform for students that puts students in control of their own learning. We're used by millions of high school and college students and are a top-400 website in the US.

Quizlet wants to build a next generation of learning tools that enable students to deeply and creatively learn whatever they need and allowing students to be the source of their own curriculum.

We're looking for developers interested in working on the entire stack, but specialization is ok too. Check out our recent Nodejam win for a look at what we do: http://quizlet.com/blog/an-epic-how-quizlet-won-nodejam/

Simplify the Linux kernel by reducing its state space
It could simply be, that it was too early for LiveJournal? Back then – admittedly, now in many ways – the idea of a social network was new. It's value had yet to be proven at that time. However, with almost 1 Billion people on Facebook the value of such a network has been proven.

However, while I say 'I want to pay for Facebook' I'm really saying I want to pay for a service that allows me to keep in touch with my friends and nothing else. Not a service that allows me to keep in touch with my friends while also selling my data, and the problems that go with that.

I wrote a very short thought on this idea:

Now correct me if I'm wrong. But "Every computable function" includes another Turing machine. If browser developers are insistent on turning the web browser into a sort of web virtual machine; then it stands to reason that a "operating system" running in the browser is just as legitimate as one in virtualbox or similar software.

Is the concept ridiculous? Probably. But time transforms all things. Many things that were once ridiculous are no longer so. I'm eager to see how things on this line of thought turn out.

OMGPOP CEO does damage control
Tell me what you think. How can mailBait.info be made more effective at pulling off this horrible idea?
This law makes sellers distribute the price of replacements for defective products evenly among all consumers. The alternative is to make unlucky consumers pay more, and the lucky ones pay less. I think it's a good law.
This is a really neat and creative idea, and worked really well. Some thoughts:

-I never like it when TD games have finish lines. It would be better if the game continued progressing indefinitely, with the player making more and more money but the enemies getting stronger and stronger until even the best defenses reach a breaking point. As it stands now, the player can continue after the game ends at round 50, but he/she makes little money. Even without knowing what the different towers did and what angles later enemies would be approaching the building from, I was still able to win on the first try just by placing towers near roads and buying upgrades as soon as I could.

-An implementation of street view would be pretty cool. Players could see their towers added to the landscape and watch the enemies storming down New York Ave. Might be really difficult though.

-More complexity and variety would make it better.
It's time to level up headphone tech
I can't place towers, and I don't know why. Its a shame I really liked the idea.

Mind-boggling XKCD April Fools comic
R/C SR-71
IANAL.

You are lucky in one area because you created the SaaS product prior to coming on board.

You are (may be) unlucky in another area because it sounds like you took the job without coming clean about the SaaS product.

The situation is complicated further if your employer is hiring you as a developer, and even further complicated if the SaaS product targets (or could conceivably target) the same industry/set of customers as your employer.

Your biggest challenge is conflict of interest. If you can show that there is no COI between you working on your SaaS product and your day job, there should be little grounds (or interest) on the part of your employer to come after you. You should probably be worried not just about code updates to the web application, but to the revenue stream that your SaaS product is generating.

At this point (assuming you are employed), you have three options:

1) Talk to somebody in the company (Legal/CEO, depending on size of company). Have the awkward conversation and come to an agreement.

2) Stop working on your SaaS product, but don't tell your employer.

3) Continue working on the SaaS product without informing your employer (i.e. gamble that you can fly under the radar).

If you're not employed yet and just entertaining a job offer, do #1.

If you're employed, I suggest doing #1 if you feel that you want to keep working on your pride and joy. If they become real pricks about it, perhaps you could negotiate ownership stake in your SaaS company and outsource or have your co-founder continue coding.

It seems unlikely you'll seriously consider #2 if the SaaS product is making some money. If you go down this route, keep records 'just-in-case' showing that you ceased all development at X date (which would hopefully coincide with your date of employment).

If you go #3, be prepared to lawyer up if your employer catches on (e.g. SaaS product starts garnishing serious attention).

I'm not a lawyer, but if somebody on my team came to me with this problem, those would be the options I'd lay out for them.
I doubt any officers think that it's wrong, but most are no doubt aware that this thing that is making their jobs easier is unpopular with the public and likely to be barred by courts when challenged. Best, then, to keep it as quiet as possible.
I would also leave out the personal history of how you first started using computers, particularly as the first couple lines of your resume. It's the first thing I read and while it's a nice story it's not really relevant.
Looks nice. +1 for only one page :)

2 things:

* the bullets, are they necessary?
* same for the grey backgrounds
* it seems not to be lining up on the right.. intentional?
True Fit, Woburn, MA. - SW Engineers, Dev Ops

True Fit, the global leader in fit personalization, delivers proven fit software to retailers selling footwear & apparel online, allowing retailers to personalize their catalog to each consumer’s personal fit and style preference. This breakthrough unlocks enormous opportunity for retailers, which has been saddled with low online footwear & apparel sales penetration (~ 8%) and high returns therein (~40%-60%), due to unsure fit. True Fit solved the problem with proprietary machine learning software that virtually tries on each product and shows each consumer how that item will fit them and what size to get. We are generating revenue from the top online apparel retailers in the world, and have wide industry participation from over 300 brand partners.

It's already possible to write templates this way.

What makes you say that? Mine is HTML/CSS -- http://buu700.com/cv.pdf -- and it seems to be pretty consistent. If anything, I would argue that the fine-grained formatting control you can get with HTML/CSS is basically unsurpassed, especially with rendering tools like wkhtmltopdf available.

Epilogger Pivots to New Direction: Unicorn hunting.
Maybe I'm just a sore loser, but I don't like the common trope in TD games of not telling you what kind of opposition you'll face until you're already committed in terms of what defense you'll put up. It doesn't make the game fundamentally harder, because all you have to do is play through it once to see everything. It just makes the first couple playthroughs suck, which is exactly when you should be sucking people in and making them enjoy the game.
Depends entirely on your employment agreement with your employer. Some employers claim everything you create, others only claim the work you did for them as part of your employment. (Also, some jurisdictions prohibit such broad claims in employment agreements, but most don't.)

Best-case scenario: find a prospective employer that actively wants to support your work on your service because it helps them, and work with them to create an employment arrangement that works for you.

Failing that, you should talk with your prospective employer, explain the situation, make it clear that you'll never work on it during business hours or on business resources (unless they explicitly want you to), and get it explicitly excluded from your employment contract.
While I can't speak for the zenbook, I can speak for Asus every laptop I had so far is Asus, never had any problems with them. My current one is an old V1S (about 5years old) and still works pretty well, I had it with linux and windows, no problems at all with linux drivers. Call me a fanboy if you want, but I try to buy asus when possible and have no regrets so far.
About macbooks, for me its just overpriced hardware, I buy something because it works not because of its design, and comparing my laptop with a friends macbook I have seen no diference except the OS, nearly the same specs with his monitor being smaller.

ThinkPad T400
Yes, I realize this is most likely an April Fools joke, but serious question: Are there any IRC clients and servers that offer in-built public key cryptography? It seems that IRC should be ideal for such a scheme. Private keys for channels should be supplied by channel operators to trusted individuals, with perhaps a multi-tier scheme. One set of keys for moderators, another for voiced users, a third for unvoiced users, and finally clear text for guests, and of course individual keys for each user for direct messaging.

Does something like this exist?
Disabling the quarantine on executables downloaded from the internet strikes me as a bad idea, but that's just me.

The quarantine is the bit that causes a dialog to pop up the first time you attempt to open a file newly downloaded from the internet that has the executable bit set. Good for catching, say, executables disguised as documents, or stopping anything from exploiting a browser hole to get an executable downloaded to your machine and opened by your browser.

MixRank (YC S11) is looking for a generalist engineer who will work with us to make online advertising less annoying, more relevant, and more effective. We want to bring the same kind of predictive analytics investment banks use to online advertising. Think of this as one giant optimization problem, with tremendous rewards if we can get it right.
We're currently a team of 5, but looking to grow over the next year. Some of the technologies we use every day include Python, PostgreSQL, Javascript, Git, Bash, and Linux; experience in any of these is great, but we also like generalists that can pick up new things quickly. Big data, machine learning, and analytics experience is encouraged.

You can download GCC and LLVM from apple's website (requires a free registration though) - a 140MB file. After that, you can use homebrew[1] to install MySQL, or hundreds of other development tools - For example, I have redis, MongoDB, Node.js, MySQL, ffmpeg, wget, ocaml, lynx, mit-scheme, gsed, cmake, ack, clock, coffee-script and about 200 other packages installed.

You're quite right that it wasn't as easy as ubuntu, but things have got infinitely better in the past year. `brew` is now comparable to `apt-get` (for everything I've tried at least).

And I'm positive things will improve still. About 70% on this topic recommended MacBooks. Last year, it'd been 50%.

Once you’ve found traction, you’ll likely need to re-write your codebase...

The problem with this approach is that once you've got traction, you will be in the worst possible position to re-write your codebase. I understand the allure of just getting features out when you're trying things and don't have many customers to worry about. But the old adage of 'always time to do it over but never time to do it right' applies just as well early as it does later. Resist the temptation to throw away all discipline because 'it's just a prototype and we'll re-write it later.' The reality is, if your product catches on, you're going to be living with that code for a long time. Move fast, yes, but don't move sloppy.
