Unless you're required to use OS X, you can always install Windows. I would actually recommend this if using OS X really is that outside your comfort zone. If you need to use OS X, then IMO, the best way to learn is to just start using

Interesting article with some great points. But wow. What a horribly condescending tone. I felt like I was being talked down to the entire time I was reading it. Good on him/her for taking a "few minutes" to google handbags a

By your logic, nobody is allowed to criticize RMS and his tactics unless they have a vested interest in providing an alternative to the GPL and FSF. However, I would argue that the failure of the FSF and RMS to adapt to the mobile and Inter

You are responding to a post with a link to research by countering with anecdotal evidence. The parent also never said that "the current scientific consensus is that marijuana in general makes you a better driver". That's a

I don't think OP wasn't judging anyone, you took his comment a little too personally. The majority people on this site may find this service to be useful, but I gurantee, outside of the SV bubble, this service would get laughed at

Reading the comments here is somewhat frustrating. Even the most recent ones seem to miss the significance of the RNG bug being in the -CURRENT branch only. They found a bug, and it will be fixed. The fact that this bug was found in -CURREN

It's almost like being so fixated on the "free", to the point that you don't consider the "software", could have negative consequences for free software.

I agree with your sentiment. It's a shame for such an interesting product. I actually haven't bought one yet for your exact reason. I only decided to share because I couldn't find a single post about Gamebuino on HN. I unders

You can get a lot out of a degree program if you try. It takes effort on your part not just the school's. As someone who is currently working on a SECOND bachelor's in CS (my first one was an economics), I can honestly say I'

Still, I don't think Richard Hamming was arguing for removing doors altogether. If we are going to take his metaphor literally, then I say do it with moderation. Sometimes it's nice to have your door open for part of the day, but

As a student, the iPad has changed my life. I no longer need to purchase giant 3 ½ pound tombs that cause back and shoulder pain. I just get them for my iPad and they're all on one lightweight device. It just renders text books so perf

If this was actually implemented as part of the hiring process, people would just game the system. It's very easy to not "like" that Jack Daniel's or Bob Marley page if you are aware some algorithm might label you a subs

Most of these "brogrammer" "frats guy" types that are loathed on HN tend to be a very particular type of person. They were uncool in high school, joined a low tier frat in college and then tied their entire self esteem t
