I've found linux to be the best environment for doing programming work. The command line is a powerful tool. The key is scripting repetitive tasks, so you only have to ever do them…

>> Perhaps both ideas are too saturated? I'd say so. Unless you have something that really differentiates your solutions I'd try to come up with a more unique idea.

Dominion (with expansions) and contract bridge seem to be my mainstays lately (with some Catan thrown in). Wondering what non-computerized board & card games others are enjoying th…

There are a number of serious problems with this vision: 1) Of course the digital components of cameras (storage size, sensor resolution, processing power) will continue to improve…

+1 for the Kinesis, great keyboard, fixed my wrist pain!

Usually at some point I start yelling at myself "ok, you REALLY need to work now" and once I get into it I'm extremely focused and productive, especially if a deadline is looming.

My typical day: 9:30: wake up 10:30: get to work (now my home office), check email 10:30-noon: procrastinate noon-1:15: lunch then 45 minute walk 1:15-5:00: procrastinate 5-7pm: 2 …

My advice: Get really good at C in linux. Focus on learning about cool algorithms and datastructures (hash tables, rb-trees, alpha-beta search, shift-reduce, ...) rather than the p…

holy cow! hey Brad... it's funny who you run into on hn!

I think design and profit margins go hand-in-hand. If you have a low margin business selling something cheap in large volume then design doesn't matter so much. If you want to sell…

Good luck to you! It's inspiring to hear about starting a company on pocket change! I'm wondering if you're allowed to use those "New York Times", CNN, etc logos... sometimes compa…

Sadly, I feel the same way about "organic" and "free range" labels. I wish I could feel good about spending more money to buy sustainable food, but I think it's mostly bogus market…

Does this mean that by pushing the deadline earlier they: - Didn't get enough applications? - Didn't get enough quality applications? Or am I reading too much into this?

What's beautiful about them? Many of them look overly complicated.

"Tax the Rich" seems to be a popular sentiment (probably because the majority of people aren't rich and would rather anybody but themselves pay more in taxes), but is it effective?…

I hate it when I spend money on software just to be treated like a villain. What happens when the license server gets taken down? I still play 27-year-old NES games on occasion. Wi…

I see...we need Universal Algebra because Abstract Algebra isn't abstract enough.

I'd put it this way: If you find yourself spending significant time inside a debugger, you should probably rethink how you (or your teammates) have been developing code. Time is ce…

I know it's high time I learn how to use git, but perforce is what we use at work and their 2-user/5-client evaluation version has served me well at home. Just letting those perfor…
