You're young, motivated, and determined to forge your own path in life. That's a good thing. I will, however, gently remind you that you are still a teenager, and thus, you are not exactly alone in your desire to be a nonconformis

Personally, this message speaks to me. I wish I could stay at home, write great software and be more active in the raising of my daughters. But when you're the primary breadwinner and benefits provider, it gets a lot more difficult.

I think Ballmer is an interesting case study in perception versus results. He's commonly portrayed as a poor CEO that has led Microsoft in the direction of irrelevance. And yet, to quote oft critic Gruber, "he knows how to make mo

Swearing is not a problem. In fact, people who swear tend to be more honest than those who don't. You don't have to be polite, you don't have to avoid confrontations. What you have to be is respectful. You should never attack

I suspect I'll get downvoted for this, but for some reason, I find this quote chilling, “Children are a financial drain,” Merrill wrote. “The time investment of raising a child is immense. The responsibility is epic. The impact on future pr

One of a key tenants of the parenting style my wife and I use (positive discipline) is that you encourage and do not praise. The difference is subtle, but it focuses on the action and not the person. For example, when one of our kids do wel

Your list is not accurate. Vista became Windows 7 & 8, OneCare became Security Essentials, Live is still around, Visual Basic is VB.NET, and I am sure there are more of those technologies. LINQ to SQL is like Silverlight - it's not bein

My personal opinion on this OOP vs. FP debate is that this is a result of that fact that OOP has been taught as being the only way to write software, not as one of many. OOP has it's place. When you have a complex system that needs to keep

Your last sentence is key here. I personally think you need to ask yourself when you have the urge to call someone out "does this add value to the current discussion?". If it does, you should lead in with questions like "Have you thought ab

Thanks for the response and feedback, but I will admit I am a little confused. Has this site been posted before? This is the first time I've come across it, since it was shared by an acquaintance of mine on Facebook. I normally view HN thro

I realize some people may look at this site and say the content is not appropiate for Hacker News. I submitted it though because I thought the execution would be of more interest. The site is done entirely in HTML.

Having used the Preview for the past few days, on one hand, I can agree with the analysis about the dissimilar experiences between the Metro and classic environments. However, I can also agree with a commenter on that blog about how people

I live in Rochester, and have had the chance to speak with several people who worked for Kodak (and some still do) about this issue. The company has obscene profit margins from film, I've heard quotes of around 20% and higher, and there was

That's just standard boilerplate logic thrown in to justify an controversial position. Essentially, you come up with something (usually that enacts more control over people), and then claim it will "protect jobs" and "foster innovation", an

As far as I know, Apple doesn't have a general research and development department like IBM, Microsoft, Google, and many others. The company focuses pretty much on devices and services.

It's hardly racketeering. In it's purest form, the patent system actually protects people from hving their ideas stolen from them, and ensuring they are properly paid for their ideas. However, your vitriol at Microsoft is rather amusing. Yo

Do you live in the 90s? If Microsoft attempted to EEE HTML, Javascript, and CSS with IE5+, it's failed miserably, since the usage of both Chrome and Firefox continues to rise while IE stagnates or declines. You only have to follow the devel
