For places with runaway population growth that might be interested, a temporary, effective, and low-maintenance method might be more politically palatable than the alternatives.

My commute in Tokyo was usually fairly nice - As long as I avoided rush hour, I could get a seat and spend the trip reading. It was even better when I moved to Yokohama (longer commute, but more space and fewer stairs). The commute ended wi

This also meshes well with this article from the other day: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2591367 ("The problem is that we don't understand the problem") Perhaps we need to iterate over potential solutions faster.

That's a fair argument regarding PSX4Droid, but I doubt that's the case with this group of emulators. Sony doesn't have any relationship with the SNES or the Genesis, so with the exception of maybe a few ported games, it's doubtful they'll

And emulators with touch screen controls are an even smaller niche. I play my fair share of classic games, but the iOS/Android emulators never struck me as compelling - Megaman, for example, is just not playable without actual buttons, and

The sunburn one is a cool concept, but most of the data I put in tells me that sunburn is unlikely in Phoenix, AZ.

I second the idea of a controversy indicator - it's a significant piece of information that gets lost whenever the bandwagon jumps on, even with scores displayed. I mostly see this in the form of low quality or offensive comments that get l

Regardless of opinions on naming names and whatnot, we shouldn't discourage someone from blogging about it. We only have anecdotes, so we don't have enough information to prove one way or another whether this is a broader issue with our com

This article doesn't offer any new information since the launch, and the only support for the idea that they've bungled the launch is one negative review - there have been several positive ones, as well. Moreover, I have a hard time swallow

Have you tried applying any of this to (segments of) 68k binaries? You mentioned that a decompiler would have been only slightly useful for older games written in C/C++; is flow analysis not helpful in practice for simplifying code that was

You wouldn't get the impression looking at it now, but it actually was pretty similar. HilbertSpace's post came a bit later, and overwhelmed the entire conversation. You can see that some of the replies to it are from as much as 10 days lat

I'd say it's better - it's not more or less straightforward, both distributive and integrative approaches are still negotiations. You need to know your BATNA anyway, whether it's leaving or sucking it up, so doing more research just puts yo

I spent a semester at a less-than-stellar school for CS - the easy 4.0 was nice, but I know what you mean. Some things I did to help myself feel better about it: - I got ahead - I found some small projects related to the next semester's mat

You can do it without hardball tactics, though - if you keep your eye out for other opportunities (i.e. have a better BATNA), then you can present it honestly as "the best move for me right now", and if they don't want to give a raise, you

That's the difference between distributive and integrative negotiations. The tactics listed in this post are mostly for distributive bargaining, which works more when you have some set pie that you're dividing up (it's a zero-sum game), as

If that's your goal, the languages need to be from different paradigms (maybe C + Assembly, Ruby/Python, and Haskell/Clojure, and then maybe Prolog and Factor). If your goal is just to get someone to minimum competence so they can build som

The Geohot case is, as far as we know at this point, completely unrelated to the current situation. It's possible the case served as motivation, or that they used his code, but that's only tangentially related. From the information we have,

Without making a judgement on anyone's business skills, this just comes down to cost. If a business person can get a good programmer to build his idea, all the power to him, but hiring a poor programmer isn't likely to be much better than l

Particularly if it was relative to other posts in the thread, and maybe only after a certain threshold, so it doesn't serve as disincentive to posters who are just late to the party, but still allows users to quickly see the best posts.
