OAuth or OTP to email comes to mind for now.

I was in Fx Private Browsing. I spent about fifteen minutes trying to figure out why I had no red square!

I like to think that our programming philosophies aren't carved in stone. (KISS, DRY, YAGNI, etc.)

To quote Captain Barbossa: ... the code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.

Also, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds"

Whenever I have a question whose answer is more subjective than objective, I ask it on HN.

I find the community here gives the most comprehensive and unbiased answer, while still being passionate about their opinions.

Great Idea!

Being mobile first, we dropped this plan in favour of reducing clutter.

We'll consider putting this info in a separate view.

I've not tried hackerrank.

Will surely give it a whirl.

Ask HN: Where to find programming challenges for sharpening algorithmic skills?

Posted by Fa773NM0nK on Wednesday August 14, 2013 @05:29AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I am looking for a set of programming challenges that'll help sharpen my algorithmic skills.I've worked a bit with CodeChef and SPOJ. Both have problems that test problem solving abilities of varied nature.However, I am unable to decide which one to follow through with. So I decided to ask the community.What resources would you suggest for improving my thinking/algorithmic skills? Something,...

"The source of the exhilaration associated with computer programming is the continual unfolding within the mind and on the computer of mechanisms expressed as programs and the explosion of perception they generate. If art interprets our dreams, the computer executes them in the guise of programs!"

Enjoyed it! Thanks!

Cool! I'll surely give it a read!

"formatting was performed manually"? What do you mean by that?

I'd rather it be performed automatically. But, I find very few tools that would format it the way I want.

"occasional performance concerns require putting readability in the backseat, but this is rare"

occasional? Seriously? rare? Seriously?

"Source code should be written to be understood by people." Nope, Source code should be written to be executed. If people can understand it easily, its a plus point, not a baseline.

Considering that the keyboard is the primary way we write sources, I find it difficult enough to keep my fingers in speed with my thoughts. In addition to that if I have to press tabs to align each of the statements in my 'for's, I'll be left in a much poorer way.

Graph Theory

Basic design of any solutions become real graceful.

Great List.

From now on, every time I write web code I'll use this as a check list!
