This is practically the reason why I turned off to show my FB friends: Acquaintances going through my friend list, and writing random messages to good-looking ones.

Well the average income would be ~43000USD (bls.gov), which is not that bad. Also you should consider that communism would turn the world upside down, to stand on it's feet. Meaning a lot of professions would simply fade away, mainly t

I can very much relate to this text as I also studied CS as a save choice and rebooted my creativity after the time-consuming beginnings, which is quite hard, because I noticed in the SAP sector creativity is rare. But I'd like to add

I don't want to do this, but I am really asking myself, how could this be on the front page of Hacker News?

"7. When in doubt, over communicate all concerns with your team." I hope someone would have given and stressed this advice right in the beginning of my career. Every time I communicated for my taste too much, it was overly helpful. I know s

I always asked myself why Alan Kay didn't name it "message oriented" then.

Sometimes I regret to have taken the red pill. Now I see all those pattern everywhere and my commitment to write code true to my learnings make me work the extra hours.

The point is to some extend right, that you need in a general purpose language an easy way to reason about the consequence. But DSLs are very useful in their analogy towards another system, i.e. Mathematica is very successful in that way. A

For a short while I was using grep and a text file as an address book mostly because like this I could easily add in free form. The reason why I switched to a AddressBook.app and Google Contacts solution is the synchronization.

Maybe you are right -- is see what you mean. But no idea is a bit too much for me. And I don't like the nationalist approach. Yes, it is always shocking for me to realize that universal health care is not seen as a basic human right. But I

Hm, I am sorry, but have to be picky about language: changes can be important but trivial. What I really meant: If this patch is easy and fast to produce, don't contact the developer. Even if it is an important change.

I like to qualify this statement: some educated people. And not no clue, but a bit naïve. But this was a trafficking issue. And I think that most Europeans and Americans at this age would have realized this. No hard data on this, just perso

I'd like to mention http://give-a-box.r09.railsrumble.com/ The idea is pretty cool -- organize boxes all around the world with things to give away packaged in nice little topics of their own.
