That was part of the inspiration for mine, https://github.com/machinaut/XeTeX-Resume/blob/master/modern... (the github repo has all of the source). Dario Taraborelli's other articles are the reason I use XeTeX instead of LaTeX.

It's a good format, and I like having a bit of color in mine (and the QR code is just a bit of nerd-edgy).
I've been very satisfied w/ the portability of the 11" MacBook Air.

I also did this a while back (maybe 10 years ago). I started with an XML document and transformed to HTML and TeX via XSLT. I generated PDF using TeX and a plain text version from the HTML using "links -dump".

If I were to wrote it again today, I'd probably be more likely to start with something like yaml and write a quick python script to generate the TeX and HTML. (My TeX is rusty, but it does a good job setting type. A non-TeX alternative would be XSL-FO + FOP.)

Palo Alto/Menlo Park, CA - Lead Designer - Full Time

Everyme is looking for a lead designer. We're building the true social network, backed by the address book. We do an incredible amount of intensive computations, but everyone we have showed the product to is surprised by how we've managed to keep the UI beautiful, simple and focused.

I had a similar reaction. I think it speaks to the time, that some of the greatest minds of our generation are 'seizing the opportunity' of a startup to develop social analytics around the 'jersey shore'. I can't help to think the great linguistic scholars (ex. his fellow MIT faculty member, Chomsky) doing the same things in the 50's. Can you image the loss to humanity if each one, after giving a TED talk, abondons his research in their 30's or 40's to make an advertising platform? This made me sad.

JVM is pretty much a one-to-one implementation of the Java language.

At least x86 was never written for one particular language.
It's no crazier than any other "paradigm-redefining" introspective code blog post we see the web churn out day after day.
The obvious opportunity here is to develop an app to counter it called "Creeps Around Me" to alert "Girls" (AKA Women) that there is a creepy stalker like dude around them, bonus points if you figure out how to alert her that the creep is eStalking.

I think your warnings about complexity in the type system are prudent, but your comment about casting is off. Casting (with the exception of primitive types) is a very blunt hammer to bash your way out of a type system. The MLs have a simple type system, yet you almost never need to cast. It's worthwhile from a language design perspective to try to eliminate the need to cast entirely, and I believe you don't have to complicate your type system to do so.

Also, you note that "many people prefer static typing", but then you suggest Clojure...
They say that power corrupts yet we wonder why our security forces are corrupt. They say absolute power corrupts absolutely yet we wonder why the highest leadership commits atrocities. They say that anarchy is disorder but they've never looked in a dictionary. They say it's the best system we have yet we try no other. They say it's for our good yet they're the rich ones. I say it's no good, yet I'm the one who's crazy.
I'm personally a fan of the moderncv package: http://ctan.org/pkg/moderncv

It uses lots of whitespace, which I believe adds to the readability.

Can't talk for the creator of course.

I consider the idea (didn't proceed further than reading the project site on Github yet) great, because - yes ruby is something I don't usually install. Dependencies that are useless for me except to host X are not a no-go on their own, but are counted as minus points.

That and the fact that it's neat to be able to extend the software you're using. I just don't know ruby and the culture is alien to me (running redmine and gitorious for my company - from configuration to error messages).

No hate against ruby. Just a preference for something else.
Craigslist Buyer Asks to Use Bathroom, Takes a Shower
Very cool good luck.
This is either a badly written law or a very seller-friendly interpretation of it. Surely, if a hard drives breaks after 14 months of use, it is either the consumer's fault or a manufacturing defect.

The fact the liability is on seller shouldn't change the interpretation of "breakage". At least in the Russian consumer protection law, you can go to the seller instead of the manufacturer if your computer breaks, and it's up to the seller what it does with it -- if you don't get it repaired in 45 days, the seller must pay you the full price or send a replacement.

I would like to see someone trying to prove that there was a manufacturing defect causing a connection port to disconnect from the motherboard after 14 month

And that's why in some countries the burden of such proof is on the seller.
Food for thought - all law enforcement operates above the law. They all intimidate, kidnap and assault and some of them even kill. A law enforcement officer who operates within the law wouldn't ever raise his fist.
Improve layout and font sizes for mobile experience. Currently it's pretty rough, barely usable from iPhone or android phone.

Room 77 - https://www.room77.com

We're changing travel search by giving people full transparency in their search for a perfect hotel stay. Using the staggering amount of data we've collected and analyzed, we'll actually find and request the best hotel room for you. Some projects you'll work on:

- computer-generating views from any room in the world

- building the first deep-text hotel search engine (eg. search "eiffel tower views" in Paris or "jetted bathtub" in New York)

- super-fast search across all major providers (we show Expedia results faster than Expedia)

- finding better ways to extract and expose data like hotel freebies and fees

...and many other things that contribute to a fast, easy travel planning experience.

If you're interested in information retrieval, machine learning, NLP, or computer visualization, you'll have a great time solving brand new problems and creating a genuinely improved and useful hotel search.

Just finished the game. Marvelous TD experience, really kept me on my toes with the "new paths" being added as you progress. The game did get a little slow near the later levels, but that's no problem as it was still very playable. I completed the game with 100 life so there might be room for added difficulty (maybe even more levels with increasing difficulty).

Had me on the edge of my chair the whole time. Super awesome game!
Sprouts is great! I gave a talk and did a project on it in my combinatorics class in college. I was thinking about doing an iPhone version in Obj-c or a web version. Anyone interested in this or know of an existing version?
Well, by "better" I mean that what I wear is usually intentional and has some thought put into it; whereas a lot of hackers will actually make a point of declaring that they put no effort at all into what they chose to wear.

And that's fine! If you don't care then you don't care. There's nothing wrong with that.

I just see it as weird that people use that notion of "not caring" as a badge of honor. My question to those people would be, why do you think it's weird that I do actually care?

Best (or worst?) April fools joke ever.  review my weekend project MailBait.info
Yes, seriously.

Those damn socialists with their securities and trying to not let companies roam completely freely, disregarding laws at will. They should know better than to weaken our glorious leader capitalism and deserve to pay dearly for it! It's the customer's own fault for actually trying to secure some rights, so the companies are perfectly right in arbitrarily raising prices, and I request these companies to raise the prices even further, to give them Europeans a better taste of what power the modern supra-national company holds!

It is a pity though. The richest company in the world, that does not know what to do with all its riches, has to subject itself to the same laws everyone else has to. Better raise the prices, because by no means have they gained profit from misleading customer into purchasing additional services, right? "What, we have to abide to the law? Well, that will lower our profit margins, better raise prices so we can make the same profit, only this time without actually evading legislation."
There's a lot of words in the comments; for me it boils down to:

Dan Porter has gone from startup to upstart. With all the negative implications that word brings.

And with all the brevity a tweet requires.
I used Matthew Boedicker/Derek Hildreth's template. Would love to hear your constructive criticism.

I gotta agree on that, the only reason for needing a fast start up time is if you want to rebuild after every change and see the result, but misaki actually watches for changes while it's running.

An extra second or two on start up really doesn't matter one bit.
It's really weird that they just add special cases like that. Though I expect it's just because they don't have enough special cases yet (went from one — for the Turkish I — to two).

I'd have expected something like a generic Unicode-aware/y text management layer, and CSS text transforms would just go through that layer.
How do you have greater control over whether your code generates garbage in Go? The only difference between Java's memory model and Go's memory model is that, in Go, you can put structs inside other structs (and unsafe code I guess, and note that you can get some of the "structs inside other structs" benefit from inheritance in Java). That's it. The stack/heap distinction is no different between Go and Java.

The idea that "the suboptimality of Go's GC is much less significant" is just wrong -- Go has the exact same memory model as Java, only it's less well equipped to deal with it than Java is because its GC is so suboptimal. I'm just countering the oft-quoted statement that Go's memory model is somehow closer to the metal than that of Java -- it isn't.

To optimize allocations in Java, you use free lists and make fewer variables escape so they can be stack allocated. To optimize allocations in Go, you use free lists and make fewer variables escape so they can be stack allocated. Java has a wealth of allocation profiling tools available at its disposal. Go has some too. Go doesn't provide anything over Java here.
Couldnt agree more. If only men like this were the norm instead of the very rare exception we wouldn't have to worry about such things.
played through the game as well, very well done!
That's actually discussed in the bug report[1] and apparently its use is discouraged by Unicode.

We're one of the thousands of startups doing social networking. Our focus is on groups and events. We think we have something unique to offer the world and are launching a beta in DC in April and expanding after that.

We've built a real-time stack that bridges backbone.js <-> socket.io <-> gunicorn+gevent <-> django. The web application is nearly all single-page architecture, with both web and mobile making use of an API. We use coffeescript pretty much everywhere.

* backend: python, django, gevent, gunicorn, nginx, postgres

* frontend: coffeescript, jQuery, backbone.js, socket.io, compass

We're looking for an advanced full-stack web developer. You know a lot about several or all of the above. Backend/frontend/query optimization/deployment.
