This is phenomenal.

This is amazing and awesome and I've totally installed it on my phone. I don't want to actually go to Applebees to try it out, though.

I'll reiterate what everyone here has said: you're not going to change the world right now, and putting yourself under that kind of pressure is bad for you. If you enjoy coding and…

THANK. YOU.

Obviously the top graphic (Octocat as Mega Man) needs to be a t-shirt. Sooner rather than later.

This is awesome! I had no idea that you could programmatically do this (I still consider myself a novice even though I've been professionally coding for two years). Very, very cool…

I upgraded last night and haven't had any kinks. The only thing I had to do was re-set my maven environment variables for some reason (and was prompted to install a Java runtime wh…

You never NEEDED two. All two did was make it easier to copy disks, and sometimes make it so you changed disks less often.

Yup, me too. Put the DOS disk in start up the computer, then switch disks as you needed to to run programs. That was so fun!

See, my first computer was a Tandy 1000 and it just ran off of floppies and RAM. No hard drive. My mind was blown when we upgraded to a Windows 3.1 system that not only had a hard …

Oh man, yea...I never installed anything with THAT many disks...I think the biggest one was 7 or 8 floppies...which took several hours. I kinda miss those days. Sometimes.

Yea, pretty much. That's why you had backups of any important software (copying floppies was a really fun process). Once the disk died, you were screwed if you didn't have a backup…

OH man. Knowing the answer to this makes me feel so old. So, sooooo old.

I would say just start programming in your spare time and then look for a smaller technology consulting company to begin working at. We've got a lot of senior folks who make really…

I downloaded and played the game one morning as fast as I could to get the free burrito and never touched it again. I didn't watch the video, I didn't read any of the crap on there…

I'm a pretty hard core geek and I thought it was pretty funny.

I really need to get myself a Raspberry Pi. It seems like me and my kids could have a lot of fun with it. I'm actually almost considering getting one, a cheap monitor/keyboard/mous…

I love when this shows back up (I've only been reading HN for about a year and have seen it 3 times). Always funny to read through. throw up //ha ha I found that in a project I was…

Well, all I've written since college has been Java, so this is all new to me. I've only briefly checked out Ruby and Python, and not enough to really know that much about either la…

Interesting, hadn't even considering looking at Haskell at all.

I did not know that, but then I've only played around with Ruby a little bit.

MULTIPLE return values?! My mind is BLOWN. That's awesome. My work is all in Java and there are so many times on my last project where that would have been helpful (I know I can do…

Ugh. I had to take tests like that when I was interviewing right out of college. The whole experience rubbed me the wrong way. I ended up telling them I smoked (they were 100% smok…
