I like them on flights too since they actually fit in the little pocket on the seat

I was never that good at writing but just putting some effort and caring about what you write down makes a huge difference. After you write an email or a document, read through the…

After my friend showed me QBASIC in elementary school, I fired it up at home and made a new file called Football (I had been playing that on the NES). Then I tried to run it.

I probably spent months playing with just the graphics programming tutorials. Copy-paste some of the tutorial code and slowly start changing things. I didn't speak English very wel…

I'm also not sure why would they want to become GroupOn? I haven't heard about anyone using that service for years. Yelp still offers a useful service for finding good restaurants …

Philosophy is a cumulative field just like programming. If you're only involved with the most modern framework, there is a lot of magic happening underneath the surface. Most of th…

The Pro better not go fanless! Oh my CPU melted while compiling and running a few VMs.

First you better stop waving it about like a feather duster. ..damnit.

Having experienced so many platforms with 0% thought put into how does this work on more than one platform certainly gives me a huge appreciation of stacks that are built multiplat…

>I spent years flailing within technology. I learned the wrong things, dove deep into the wrong technology (Java Swing :|) and made obvious mistakes. In retrospect, I would have pa…

Seattle?

In a way a romantic relationship is easier since it's so explicit. The expectations are usually clearer. I'm in my 30's and find making new friends immensely difficult. Everyone is…

I guess moving out of a tech city is the first step though. Rent is hard to afford.

Looks like a hug of death. Many resources aren't loading at all on that site anymore

> Coders are often under a mistaken impression that interviewers care about your answer. They don't. Huge asterisk that as long as you arrive to the correct solution with minimal h…

I also use a (2nd hand) Steelcase Leap. It's definitely great for slouching which is comfortable but I guess I should work on improving my posture.

Reddit is also just too big. It's only a matter of time before a great subreddit reaches /all/ a few too many times and becomes a meme factory/circlejerk/battleground instead of so…

It seems quite a bit like reddit. Just subscribe to outdoorsy and cat subreddits and you've got it

I remember I started using Youtube originally because they had pretty much every season of every TV show uploaded there.

I don't see what that has to do with what I said but sure, the poor shouldn't start families.

Seattle can be tough at least. Really depends on a lot on where you live and where you work. Almost any commute can be done but it easily gets to 2h+ which is just ridiculous.

Really shows how some people in HN have never experienced poverty. If a households main income earner is making minimum wage they will not be making shopping trips to IKEA to furni…

Unity is REALLY bad and unintuitive for 2D games. It's a 3D engine that begrudgingly lets you draw sprites except alpha and overdraw are really expensive. Basically any 2D engine w…

Early 2000's was the heyday of illegal music services though. Audiogalaxy being the best but things like Napster and Limewire and emule were just too tempting for any legal alterna…

I miss the diversity in web design back in the day. From blinking, colorful and seizure-inducing to very dark pages with little torch gifs. Weirdly enough every website now looks t…
