I own a DK2 and have demoed Crescent Bay several times this year and have a hard time believing this. Which demos were screen door-y to you on the CB? i.e. which specific scenes...…

I loved school because I enjoyed learning and was the top of the class. I had a compulsion to finish every test first, and have the highest score. IMO, I was born to learn, and wou…

Awesome! Thanks for the comment.

This is an awesome response, thank you very much!

I've been given an opportunity to move to Menlo Park and work with Facebook, but I have a stay at home wife and two toddlers. I feel like this is a great opportunity, but also feel…

Yep, voted down for no reason. I have actual real world experience with teams trying to use this technology. Is there an actual MS army trying to keep these threads pro MS?

I always get voted down for this, but I still feel that typescript is an answer to a question that nobody is asking. (I'm also very suspect of all of the positive comments. Is HN r…

Why is there not some way to disrupt this industry??? It is maddening that these people even exist. How is normal to take 35% of someone's salary for 6 months because you got to th…

It's refreshing to see some glimmer of decency from any political entity.

Bummer, I thought this was going to be an article talking about a person's own behavior. Personal analytics are fascinating to me, and if someone was to figure out some cool metric…

Looks like PayPal is trying hard to take EA's crown.

It seems to me as though most of Microsoft's advertising lately feels a tad deceitful/disingenuous. Whether it's trying to convince that Bing really is better than Google (really i…

What a truly wonderful technology this is.

I downgraded to a basic phone around 4 weeks ago, and am very happy with my decision. If I find it really necessary to look something up or answer an email while at the dinner tabl…

Is anyone in the community using this at work? I'm in a place where we can use js, coffeescript, typescript etc... Is clojurescript a viable option?

This seems like a more public representation of what is probably being done on most sites anyway, with the exception of the login credentials being invalidated. That being said, it…

Very cool. I'm currently going through O'Reilly's "Python for Data analysis", and can speak to it's quality as well.

Thanks for the reply demian. Did you or someone you know make this type of career switch?

I just hope more people see the question.

Hello HN community, I have been working as a LAMP developer for around 8 years now and am thankful to be at the place in my career that I am. (150k at a stable company, low stress,…
