   This is interesting, and I certainly hope to see updates in the future. For me, for now however, I found wit.ai to be so simple to get up and running that I can't see myself moving to something like this - even though I can see signifi

   Wait - was this open sourced _in_ 2011, or last edited then and open sourced only recently? The former doesn't sound right, because I was working in a similar area around that time and would've thought I'd have seen this earl

   I don't understand it either. I negotiated my salary for 37.5 hours a week of work. I'm happy to work a bit more when the work is interesting, but I'm going to show up late or leave early the next few days to make up for it.

   Thanks for posting this. I found https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8062683 yesterday but yours appears to be the direct link to the author's blog, which I had missed.

    I think I'd try negotiating directly with the operator: "How much commission do you get if I don't cancel? Oh, $50? Well, tell me your paypal or bitcoin address and I'll send you that much if you disconnect this right no

    I really dislike the conversion from text/numerals to graphics in this and many other redesigns. It turn web-scraping of the page from a trivial process into a view-the-source trial and error one. Given the primary audience of this sit

    That's why I felt it ought to be reposted; it's a neat intersection of HN interests, and skirting on the borders of the basic income discussion that's been growing here over the past few months/years. (BTW - you mean &qu

    Ah! I was parsing it as something like "If Yoda could give a shit about Oxford commas, you shouldn't either." Which then lead to thinking it should have said 'couldn't' instead. Cheers

    First time, no. I struck out on my own and failed rapidly. This time, yes. I'm dropping a day a week of salary, and working (with my main job's blessing) on a new venture with some colleagues and others. For the others they feel t

    And what if I want to short-circuit "continue;" in my thread's run loop? I suspect that's hidden somewhere in a "Don't do this" set of caveats that I couldn't find. Presumably you can't write swi

    He used to piss off a lot of people on rec.juggling by commenting rabidly on any videos that featured female jugglers. I liked him though - for some reason his webpage directly a lot of traffic my way, even though I wasn't female...
