    I've had premium subs with both and switched to Claude 3.5 Sonnet. I'm blown away by what it can do. Example for context: I'm a software dabbler so I can do basic stuff with framew…

    > I haven't seen any of these tools doing anything that anki doesn't — why not contribute to it instead? For the same reason that your area likely has more than 1 pizza restaurant.…

    There's a price at which it's worth it and a price at which it's not. $10k? Sure. $200k? Nope. Now it's a matter of finding that inflection point. Do you have any scholarships? Wha…

    Can't one argue that income from rental properties is more predictable than the income from full-time employment? In the former, there are binding contracts between the landlord an…

    Very clever 4 in a row game! Makes me want a 5c.

    I think it's similar to people in the military who are given a gun and told to shoot someone they've never met. There are many people who believe what they're doing is for the good…

    You planned that using logic, but people's emotions don't react to logic. It's an emotion after all. I thought it was obtrusive as well and didn't realize how far into the article …

    I do the same for breakfast, but I feel more comfortable doing so because most of those foods are regulated. I don't believe protein powder is, which is a little scary considering …

    If Soylent got popular enough, it would pretty much make my service obsolete. Don't count yourself out just yet. Some people will always prefer to eat real food.

    There was a great post on HN by someone who was in your same shoes. She used Codecademy to get started. http://www.tiffany-young.com/website_progress.html

    This is spam. I've noticed you promoting this site in multiple threads and have continued to bite my tongue because I admired the hustle, but I think this crosses the line. OP aske…

    The advice given in other responses here is spot on - there are many avenues to learn development. But that's only part of the education that this program is offering. This looks l…

    I disagree. MS didn't explain the value prop well and weren't courageous enough to take a stand. If they wanted to get rid of discs, they should've done so. Discs and downloadable …

    In college, after we'd submit a programming assignment, our code was run through a program to test for plagiarism of another student's code. Can we run the same analysis on these a…

    I still find it suspicious that the previous White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, left the White House to work at Facebook. I realize that statement implies that no one from …

    Bring a class to impoverished neighborhoods of Chicago where they just closed 50 public schools and the media will have a field day with your story. So many wins here: 1. Win for t…

    This is a cool brain hack in that it uses math to convince you that you're not too old to become a master at something. One issue I have with the 10,000 hour rule in general is thi…

    Just a data point from one person's experiences: I feel like check splitting is always a bigger problem for the restaurant/server than it is for the people paying. All the customer…

    The base model Kindle with ads. I take the train every day and using an iPad 2 to read is really inconvenient and invites theft. The Kindle fits in my coat pocket, is a delight to …
