Hi folks, I'm an software developer who's been inactive for a few years. I do web development, but I'm a user when it comes to security and crytography tech. Years back, I used to …

Waiting for link. Saw on Bloomberg TV. EDIT : Verdict was unanimous. No infringement of either patent. First link: http://www.businessinsider.com/verdict-is-in-for-oracle-google-20…

Seconded. It seems like they basically just turned the frame-rate down, but it's not clear to me.

Dude, don't harm yourself, it's just no worth it. Even living on welfare is better than giving up life entirely. I have struggled with thoughts like that for years myself, and I've…

PlayAlong.com Can't tell how much it'll cost, but it's just parked there for now. The name is like "Come, play along with me!"

Sadly, folks, I have received two responses. There's clearly not that many of us stuck in Central Jersey :(

Hi folks, I've got friend and fellow HN reader here in Central NJ. We were thinking of starting a meetup for people interested in programming/technology in the area. I'm talking No…

Interesting suggestion, thanks!

We already use a lot of open source tools (I got pretty good at Python at my current job). We're not as open to using new technologies as I'd like though (there's a review process …

This isn't gonna resonate with a lot of people on HN, but it's prayer, meditation, and writing. I'm a devout Christian and those things are more important to me, as much as I like …

An interesting proposition and something I tend to believe. Any tips on how you can figure this out besides jumping from job to job waiting to see if it works?

A poignant observation. My coworker and I agree heartily agree :)

Hi folks, This might be precisely the wrong community to ask this question of, but here goes. I work as your standard Java/Oracle programmer in the finance sector. It's a good job,…

That's a fair criticism indeed. I'm counting on being as honest with them, saying that I don't have a really strong background but I can grok the principles very easily. I'm fortun…

Hi guys, I've been working at a well-known firm for about two years as a software dev. However, I just received a interview for an even better shop, Google. In the interview coming…

I personsally like The Changelog, run by two big fans of Github and open source. They have on guests to discuss what's new and hot in the world of open source. They've talked to Do…

Bloomberg LP has a number of positions all over the world. We're hiring for our news, multimedia, and (most importantly) R&D departments. Good company to work for, great benefits: …
