If this means we don't have to see any more TechCrunch headlines on Hacker News, then I'm all for it.

The reason why this is the case is obvious: the moneyed interests run the government as well as the economy. And it isn't in their best interest for 'freelancers' to have the types of benefits proposed in the article. Also, a nation of self

This course is a great idea. Will you do a ruby class next? In saying that, I am mostly joking. However a C class would be pretty sweet, especially since it's hard to learn how to write C correctly, efficiently and securely.

Go to a local credit union instead of a big bank. You can probably also use your car or other assets as loan collateral. I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. The best of luck to you.

Because such people often have bills to pay and they like to earn money. Especially if they aren't in a situation where starting a company is financially viable at the time, being hired is not such a bad thing.

While I don't have a business, your question assumes that those doing the hiring are acting rationally. Whereas most business trends are caused by people uncritically following what others are doing.

Programming languages are tools of the trade and no different than tools in any other field. If it's a good job then it is a good job. If the job requires you to work with PHP, then that is a lesser consideration that is barely worth mentio

It's quite simple really. Do you like your compiler? Or would you rather write code and hope for the best? Compilers work because they have a formal grammar of what is and is not acceptable in the programming language. This same principle i

Why does a native compiler matter? If its compiler emits C code, you're G2G as far as all of your stated goals.

Look. It isn't rocket science. Unless you are proud of the work you're doing and do not feel guilty because of it, you should find other work - or in this case different software to program. Only write software you would not only be happy t

Google is currently using the model of try creating a service and see if it sticks with users. If you have ideas for a lot of small web applications, why don't you try the really low risk approach of building them one at a time, polishing e

Nothing to see here. New up and coming search engine contenders don't list every site Google and Yahoo! do as a way to differentiate themselves from the well-entrenched competition.

It's also worth pointing out that if you read 3 books a year, you would have read 90 books in a 30 year time span. I would suspect that Norvig reads a good deal more than that and that this selection of books for his book shelf does not rep

Most politicians are lawyers by trade, never ever forget that. When you really realize the implications of this, it starts making way more sense why things are as screwed up as they are.

Good radar or no, you still have to keep an eye out for the unknowable "black swans". In any case, good radar for trouble just means you've traded away most of the peace of mind that comes with obliviousness in exchange for an unquantifiabl

There's one thing your analysis is missing: A has a diffuse effect across the entire Internet community; whereas, z directly and personally affects the writer. Even if A >>> z, the impact of z on a writer can still be unpleasant

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the idea is to set up some automated trading bots that just simply make money for you on a continual basis. This constant revenue stream allows you to forget about making money and allowing you to use those re

Programming languages all come with a specific mental model for how you're supposed to code in the language. That's why it's so useful to learn different types of languages so that you "pick up" those different ways of thinking. Everybody t

If you can write code that has been put into production, then you are way ahead of many so-called developers on the job market. This is the sad state of our industry. Since you say you know design and programming but the actual sites you've

Couldn't he just use Haskell to write the Java/PHP/whatever code for him? Yeah, every project becomes a language translator, but then he wouldn't have to leave his beloved ivory tower of horrors.

Why not take one or two of the oldest payments Google is withholding and file a small claims lawsuit against Google as a test? If the courts allow the case to proceed and you win, then just batch up your claims and over time you can get all

The main issue it has is that the management tools are a hack. They (Atlassian) started with a very simple system built around their relational database schema. As more users adopted the system, there was increased demand for a number of ad

JIRA is horrible. Don't use it if you can avoid it. While it kind of works once it's setup, the software really is terrible.

No, the key to Perl 6's success is to convince all of the Perl 5 developers to move on to the new language. Also, if they (the Perl coders) go on a binge and port all the CPAN libraries over to Perl 6, that will help.

Yes, because agricultural societies supported higher population densities than does hunter-gathering. So over time, those who adopted agriculture displaced those who didn't. However, before agriculture took over, everyone was a hunter-gathe
