The eBook - LittleBookOfRuby is great. No cost and a great intro. http://www.SAPHIRESTEEL.com

As an external observer I have to say that this is what they would appear to be for. There does not seem to be a shortage of skilled developers in the USA - least of all around such companies as IBM (who are large "users" of such visas).

You will probably get mixed opinions. I prefer that a "sign-up" page gives clear indications of the minimum standards required for passwords (although these should be inclusive and not exclude characters). Validating the user name is always

Interesting question. If you were sending a single pre-filled iPod to a mate in another country then you would not care one way or another. So - I suspect your question is rather broader than that. Care to share?

I thought it was an Indian (or maybe Chinese) 3 year old - oh no that was probably the Daily Mail. All nonsense of course. I suppose it does no good to wonder why such gets posted here on HN.

Yes - I ran a trial a while back to see just how difficult it would be to get a common HTML/CSS/JavaScript set to work across iOS and Android browser variants for a non trivial graphical app. [It was quite difficult - much simpler to write

Clearly you will want to validate their skill set - this may mean acting like an employer about to recruit a new employee before offering to partner. You might also need to check that their history will not be a problem when you come to rai

OK just a couple of points from a very personal perspective. You would appear to have done a lot of work to solve a perceived problem; but it is not a problem that I recognise. I have some understanding of scope in JavaScript and I am conte

No never, although I read them, point out the bits that actually mean they are worthless and - well never yet lost an opportunity as a consequence.

Much better in the original post http://philosophically.com/dont-launch-your-product than a re-tread article.

There is an HN convention that post titles are not editorialised but posted "as is". I suppose this could have had something added in brackets (like one would do for an old item) but I can see that might have undermined the approach of the

This was clearly a skit or parody used to make an important point. The content is not the title. Just saying.

The whole point of the piece was not to suggest that Apple should buy Intel but to point out the burden that their cash mountain represents in reality.

I think others have the same sentiment but: Public education is about a mix of child minding, keeping children out of the labour market - oh and as an afterthought teaching them stuff we taught the previous generations (so they became teach

This idea is presumably based upon the notion that there is an even distribution of the relevant monopoly "tokens" across a given market. Think about that a little - in terms of the potential prize liability for MacDs. The normal way of con

I was going to ask the same question - read your reply - but I still do not get it. This is not going to work as an idea validation survey unless you explain your value proposition clearly.

What value does a silly conversation in Quora bring to HN? If it is Quora stuff then leave it there.

But it makes them way easier to find next time a government invades another country. Politicians do not like to get "caught" twice - well unless it is an indiscreet sexual liaison. (cynical me?)

Who is your most likely reader? If you start with that, then locating your readers and presenting your value proposition should flow naturally. Marketing "free" is just marketing - you just have a lower sales barrier when you reach your aud

I think that the thing we Europeans (and us Brits in particular) often fail to grasp is that the USA is a very foreign country. I love my visits there and my US friends but it does not take a long stay for you to run into things that seem "

Look for a technical co-founder. A good developer would get to a minimum viable product quickly - probably in a fraction of the time you are estimating for the overall project. Find someone who will buy into your product and work for equity

Based upon current users signing up with us - 90% choose OpenID or OpenAuth over a site specific sign-up. I use it myself for my own site.

Hey - its the Daily Mail - next week - Beetroot causes (or possible cures - always random) cancer. We Brits apologise for this blot upon the landscape masquerading as a newspaper.

You have probably focused on the true problem. It looks like any negative element to the rather simplistic feedback model represents an issue for the seller. Why is that? - an issue ultimately fixed should be viewed as neutral - unless it i

Trouble is - you have to stand up to the bullies - even for those with whom you are less than sympathetic. Bullies must be stopped as if they succeed it will be you who they will come after next.

A bit rich that, coming from Murdoch. However I can't see the Aussies voting for a wowser like Assange.

First point - this is not a QA site - so Stackexchange is the goto place. You could experiment with the typeof operator - which will return "object" for an array. Then if there was still doubt you could play with the instanceof operator.

I think you have already identified the answer. It is based upon the needs or disposition of the site visitors/users. Stackoverflow has a self qualifying audience that is ready to be offered a job/employee matching service. You have to find
