Anything like this in SF/Bay? I feel like there should be...

I've heard the same about Twitter. All they do is publish short messages, why do they have 1000 employees? There's always many problems that aren't immediately apparent but difficu…

That's certainly true, but I'd say most seasoned users on reddit don't subscribe to much of what's on default front page. The default reddits (funny, pics, f7, atheism, politics, e…

The OP got a message from the homeless looking guy and a new cipher that was much simpler and unrelated to the original cipher card. Basically proves to me that it's a stunt. Anywa…

>The price of this is library fragmentation. There's more than one approach to objects, for example. I've found that to be the case with Lua in general. The language is pretty easy…

I think so. I'm not sure, but when I deleted mine a while back I got texts from friends wondering if I was okay, or dead, or mad at them. So there was at least some way they figure…

It doesn't look like your email is in your profile.

I completely agree. It's why creativity and general aptitude is more important than a focused expertise.

The only thing I'd add to this is how things move so much quicker. It takes time to find a new job. Like the Joe Smith example, a skilled worker is now unskilled because his job ha…

One thing from that article I completely agree with is that “[Mid-Size companies] need to figure out how to recruit and create jobs that are attractive for entrepreneurial people".…

Some of my best times were spent with a stick.

For you, that is play. It's something you enjoy, socially. You explored computation instead of a park or creek. Unless coding is stressful for you I don't see how that's different …

I had pretty much the same experience as a kid (I'm 22). As far back as I can remember we were pretty much outside until 'late'. I think the unofficial rule was to check in at stre…

Something simple, but really useful for the map would be to select different areas/location with a marker. Returning to the list view would show the jobs for that area. The map wou…

I don't think it's about them competing exactly. Amazon probably wants the Fire to be adopted over the Kindle, especially since the table market has been shown to be so hard to ent…

So, Amazon had a page that promoted E-Ink over LCD. Then they released an LCD tablet and removed the page. I don't see the big deal, I think the pros/cons of E-Ink are pretty well …

I think the community has as much to do with discussion as anonymity. r/programming, r/technology, r/hacking are pretty simmilar in topic, though with less emphasis on buisiness/ec…

I'd call that a win-win as well. I do take the same approach and try to explain why it's more expensive, they tend to use the 'nephew' excuse to haggle down by a significant amount…

Yeah, I hate "my nephew can make websites". I don't doubt that a high school student could put together a full website, with a store front or whatever else. But I'd be willing to b…

> Someone wants a Facebook clone for $500? Simply respond "it's a huge amount of work and I won't be able to do it for that." If they press, explain why. >Just saying "no, I can't …

I think part of it is the cynicism that develops from bad clients. Some people don't understand that the designer is a professional. Designers just draw all day, and love what they…

Reading the other bbc story on the front page, it looks like the scientists are cautious about the discovery and not claiming that they found something. They found something that m…

This. And if possible, add a subtle gradient on each curve. So, even without arrows on short lines the direction is clear. Plus it looks cool.
