For my family, definitely yes. Though it may just be that non-technical people are going to take longer to understand the gravity of technical problems, and I think that's compound…

Man, I work as a frontend engineer at one of the big tech companies and I understood like 25% of this post. And that's not meant to be a criticism, I'm just reflecting on my total …

Seriously? I know HackerNews can rock the haterade like no other, but why aim that at developers who took months out of their lives to build a tool for the open source community? A…

Um, maybe? There's a whole list of unacceptable types of parties for companies to host. Greek may have generated less uproar, but that's not the word they chose.

Lots of comments here focusing solely on the beer pong aspect of frat parties. You guys aren't wrong: there's nothing sexist about beer pong. The use of the word 'frat' really is t…

Can you point me in the right direction? For the life of me I can't find it in the UI.

I really like that you have challenges aimed at frontend developers. Something Hackerrank is sorely missing.

thanks for this. I don't know what I was expecting beyond the jobs board / who is hiring threads. maybe some kind of secret handshake that only ycombinator people know?

Most of the offers I get in my inbox are for post series A companies, so the equity is negligible. How can I find opportunities, with YC companies or elsewhere, that need a technic…

You don't have to go that far down the Backbone road to get performance that rivals other frameworks is the point. All this comes down to is how do you update the DOM when data cha…

Ah so that's what was happening. I was trying to post it yesterday with no luck. I wonder why the mods would block this link. I'll admit the article seems more intent on telling a …

I pretty much agree with this. They created a D3.js treemap and probably even used a standard Colorbrewer blue color scheme, as seen in this d3 example: http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock…

The dislike probably is directed mostly at the external recruiters, but a lot of this stuff applies to them as well. I've only had two bad recruiter experiences, one with an intern…

There seems to be in this thread (and on HN in general) a lack of empathy for the recruiter. Here's my perspective on (internal) recruiters as someone who sits next to them at an o…

I grew up watching Jon Stewart and occasionally Colbert. I always thought it was interesting how Jon Stewart would defend against his critics by saying something along the lines of…

This is an ambitious project but I wonder if there'll be a market for it even if the product is well executed. 1) It seems like you'll need to have some understanding of how web ap…

was this link not meant for the public? getting a 404 now. mirror: http://web.archive.org/web/20140916215429/https://www.gsaadv...

I really like this but I wish the documentation included recommended DOM structure / css styles... it's not as plug and play as the docs suggest

tried using this before (or one similar to it). the reason I still have to use python is for generating different clusters of objects with distinct attributes (e.g. to create a non…

as a former, disenfranchised education technologist, comments like this: “If this is still an ‘emerging concept,’ why are we implementing it?” are all too familiar. teachers and sc…
