"Your customer data shouldn't be in silos." True, but as someone affected by having to conform to PCI, FERPA, HIPAA, etc., they don't make it easy on you if you do it the way you a…

I agree with others that this is a good thing. Science is only proven until it is disproven. For this reason, I think we need to hold other complex sciences like meteorology to a h…

> Co-workers and bosses are not usually your friends I second that unfortunately. :( The flipside of that though is that you probably won't be their friend either, even if you'd li…

The post was great, but it will only have impact if you share what you know in more detail with graphs and dataset.

This is a pretty myopic view. Some of us enjoy or have enjoyed documentation, process, management and that isn't mentioned. Some perfectly successful programmers love QA, etc. A lo…

So, when is someone going to write an Apollo emulator that in turns contains an Apollo hardware emulator that uses the actual program to simulate what the onboard system would have…

Great job! But how practical was it to develop notes in a git repo markdown wiki like this? Seems like it would have been hell to clean things up.

Why not just use duckduckgo instead? Then you won't have to look at anything other than the results everyone else sees, which is the way it should be, imo.

A little bit of a tangent, but is it going to be a good idea to wait on the next line of MacBook Airs/Pros or not? Other than Mountain Lion, they chance at Ivy Bridge seemed to be …

Very cool. I wish more would take your lead. One thing that stops many from doing it is that they don't design the application/service/library to be used for anything except their …

With due respect to the OP, I don't think I'd ever have shipped anything if I had to be proud of all of it. And the more experienced I get (beyond 9 years or so of development and …

I'm not sure what this buys Ruby or its community. Could someone explain? The Ruby community is already fragmented a bit with MRI and JRuby (and others, but primarily those two). D…

I liked the title of the article, but then felt it fell flat. I thought it was going to be about spending less time on HN and more time coding.

TBL is right in that they aren't needed, and it is true that it could break a lot- from code to legislation, costing a lot of people a lot of time and effort initially. But, there …

Anyone tried the code in each of the various implementations forked in the dcpu16 github? It sounded like the sprites may not be compatible, but just curious: https://github.com/dc…

It's great that TBL wants all data and communication to be free. He also wants the semantic web to thrive, and that isn't going to happen anytime soon; SparQL and triplestores impl…

The reason China can't beat us is that they don't yet have the resources. If anything, this post will just make them want to beat us faster. But, hats off to SpaceX! We need more s…

American notion? I blame Americans also, because I'm American and I feel I have the right. But it being a good idea to do something you're passionate about doing if you can be succ…

It was down for more than 50% of downrightnow users: http://downrightnow.com/gmail Even though they say http://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=issue&ts=13...

The problem NASA, quasi-govermental entities like the USPS, and our government in-general seem to have is that they are overly bureaucratic and political, and solutions they produc…

I wonder if the OP looked into zeromq binding to node? Wouldn't that increase TPS even more, although it would increase time per transaction?

A friend and I were discussing the following this morning: if the only determining factor in deciding where to locate a startup were a choice between amenities like a nicer environ…
