Really good point. By nature of my startup, I have to achieve highly complex tasks in short time. These are heavyweight tasks that require high precision design decisions and, I often find the following two things happen to me in cycles: 1.

It would be great if you allowed us other hacker news copy-cats to have rapid updates to your version of sources. Also many thanks for writing hacker news, it is a great, simple piece of software.

Thanks, I value minuses more than pluses nowadays. It shows that you're thinking against the stream.

I mean it in the following way. While it is totally legit and generally a good thing to build a product out of an open source project, I sense that some naive customers of these products give most credit to the product builders rather than

Apparently the specialists were incompetent to distinguish between standard pirated software sale and a software vendor's niche product.

Sigh the milking of the open source. I wonder how much milk git has left to give to entrepreneurs.

Now that this subject is open, let me say it: I don't think the term hacker really reflects the concept of Hacker News. Startups are focused on entrepreneurship and revenue, there is a hacker side to it but the hacker aspect is not the cent

If it works out to be a friendly list interface with a group feeling, this would be an absolute winner project. As a year of graduates we use a yahoogroups list since 2000, and we never changed it. Yahoogroups is currently running on 1995

500$/week just to see some 900 CVs is a highly offensive price. He should have started low and increased the price gradually.

I think it all depends on use scenarios, not to mention the fact that VPS neighbours may change the results a lot. However this post was particularly true for my case. I use OpenVZ and today I had to upgrade to a 1024MB server simply becaus

This is no surprise. If you build a whole investment empire based solely on the value of housing, those cheap bricks you build turn against you one day. No social investments, no technology, just plain luxury and housing. Have you seen that

Sounds crazy. Very hacker-like.

Well, I accept the term boss doesn't fit well. But still, in very competitive institutions you need to deal with lots of politics, do post-docs over post-docs to get a lab of your own or at least be more in control of the research. I think

Here is my way of decision making on this: If you don't mind dealing with faculty politics and report to a boss, go for the PhD. The benefit is that you get a reasonable salary and funding, and managing others badly does not bring fatality

Logo is one of those things that you just can't get done to someone else. I spent $200 on a provider once, and I had useless logos designed. If you must outsource the design, you should pay more than $400 and reiterate probably 5 - 10 times

I would do it only when absolutely necessary and there is no other way going forward. I have a feeling that some people think about approaching a VC just because there is so much stuff written about VCs and funding and it seems necessary. I

I always wondered why name obfuscation is thought to add meaning to the brand. I think it is just the opposite.

RMS and Torvalds should share the prize. RMS deserves it since he's the founder of the idea of free software, and Torvalds deserves it because based on the idea he created a collaborative movement of exceptional engineering.

It falls behind by not being as popular. I think this is not a result of BSD being inferior, it's just how things came into being. I don't have numbers on BSD developers or the rate of improvement, but I guess one reason for it is that BSD

It's because it was harder for the sperms to become less vulnerable to temperature than it was for the testicles to move apart. When you think the evolution way, you get the answer ;)

"It's too complicated for a third party to act as an intermediary between developer and user" That's a good summary of the situation.

I wouldn't track my time with it because the time I have the editor open is the trivial period of time when I reflect all that I have designed into code.

It is not an OS is it? It's the userspace set of Google libraries and applications, to put it more precisely. I wouldn't call it a PC operating system as the article suggests.

What they teach you as C/C++ is the final point that these languages have come. It is the final outcome of their evolution. It is absolutely normal that you don't get it when they teach you encapsulation, classes, functions, return values,
