It would be interesting to see how many students from Waterloo and UofT alone, leave Canada to go work in the tech industry in the US.

This is a great article! I myself am Canadian and agree with many of articles points. Living in Toronto it's noticeable to recognize it's the financial industry runs this city, the…

In my opinion, if you are publicly posting inappropriate content and showing it at work to your co-workers and or students, then yes, there should be some consequence. However, if …

I find that in canada (toronto, ontario) programmers are not paid near the amounts of programmers in the US. 5 years ago i started at 40K (working in Hamilton). Now living in toron…

I think there are 2 markets here that need to be separated when comparing RIM with Apple and Android. Corporate and Consumer. RIM dominates the enterprise/corporate market and as o…

I wouldn't say Usain Bolt is talented because he's the faster runner. Majority reason why he is so fast is because of the amount distance he can cover with his leg stretch over his…

great stuff theLi0nheart! I love your no quit attitude. get knocked down 6 times...get back up 7.

I'm curious to know if it's reddit's GUi design/usability or it's content/community that keeps it a growing success. For me, it's their design approach that i enjoy using, especial…

I wonder if google found him by posting this A/B Resume test.

You're right. But only to a certain extent. If you are building medium to heavy based JS web apps (without using frameworks like JQuery) JS can throw some unexpected/questioning cu…

If you're a server-side programmer like me, javascript is a language you learn just to get by on. However, in my case, I never took the time to fundamentally learn the language. I …

LandLandon, BBM is so popular for the reasons mentioned above. But the main reason is because it comes pre-installed with every blackberry - Just like Microsoft and Internet Explor…

I've been curious to know what days of the week (and even times of the day) get the most user traffic.

I agree, we're definitely targeting mid-core gamers which can be challenging to introduce them to our game at times. If you keep the too simple, people get board and leave, if you …

Mortuus, this is a great reply. Thanks for the detailed points. Choosing a character name is something i'll be adding to the game shortly. I definitely agree with regarding the 15 …

Thanks for the comment! My problem right now is getting users stay in the game once they have installed it. I'm not sure if it's the game mechanics or the UI that need improvement …

this is absolutely a great post. Not only because what lostsheep posted, but the quality of the responses people on here(HN) are replying back with. Just unreal. I'm so that lostsh…

it's inefficient because the browser has to search/loop through the DOM looking for the exact pattern of the corresponding css rules, instead of a direct pointer like: #my_foo_span…

i hope this comment speaks for most. In a perfect world, CSS is awesome. tables are good, except when it comes to a point when you have to start nesting tables within each other to…

but to point out the from the first comment left by kungfooey you're best way to start in any language is to develop a small app without a framework.....great advice by him/her.
