Re:Ask HN: How do I get my team to write better code? on Thursday November 06, 2014 @10:05AM (#8567262)
Give them a free copy of Clean Code[1], I started to care about my code more after I read that book.

You cannot sit and review each commit, the best you can do is to make them care about code.

Highly recommend following his twitter feed: https://twitter.com/Pinboard Full of awesome sarcasm.

/plug Also, I love Pinboard so much that I wrote an Android app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.shreesh.pin) which I plan to improve/fix.

Re:Google I/O 2014 schedule on Friday May 16, 2014 @02:26PM (#7757026)
At a glance, IO2014 seems clearly focussed on:

- Design.

- Pushing Chrome/ Web apps

- Games and wearables on Android

Seems like the start of pushing mWeb instead of apps for consuming web content.

Comment from the source[1]:

  We have already created that oat file above with
  CreateOatFile. Originally this was just our own proprietary 
  file but now it is contained within an ELF dynamic object
  (aka an .so file)
 
Seems like oat file might be enclosed in an ELF container and might support linking of shared libraries.

Awesome application of sound sonification[1]. Generate ambient sound based on data is hard, hope they can nail it.

From my experience most of the H1B candidates who might join a company with lower wage at first, can and will negotiate for higher pay when they change company. I think the days of hiring H1B candidates at lower wages and thinking of _retaining_ them are gone and the companies do realize that.
Re:Moto X review on Monday August 05, 2013 @02:42PM (#6161960)
when you think; for $199 you can buy a HTC one and flash an AOSP ROM vs pay the same for MotoX. I would go with HTC One every time.

Important factor is how many of the "qualified" candidates clear the interviews? The problem is not the lack of people to interview, it's the lack of people who clear interviews.

I once tried to code an assignment involving TF-IDF on a corpus of docs. It ran blazingly fast compared to python. But was debugging segmentation faults until the last minute.
