There's no reason ever to use a right join. I consider those to be a code smell.

You have a lot of time to decide, so why not apply to both jobs and graduate programs. If you can't get a job upon graduation, then go to grad school. But know that graduate degrees (in computer-related fields) offer a poor ROI. You should

In that case, I think 3% is low.. 12-15 hours a day including weekends are founders' hours. Unfortunately, I think you've lost most of your leverage. The time to negotiate was before you did all the work.

Well, the community isn't "poor" -- it's just not for me. I don't participate nearly as much as I used to. It's not like the only choices are "stay" and "leave".

Personally, I think Hacker News has a great design and a poor community. I guess these things are just a matter of taste.

Use bcrypt, if for no other reason than that your code is likely to be forked by people who don't want to understand how things work.

I dunno about that. I think it's probably easier to learn to ride a bike with someone experienced helping you. If someone sets up the seat for you and explains how to shift and brake and rides with you a little bit, I'm sure learning would

The author is exactly right. There's no way that a tree array of panels that are half not even pointing at the sun will outperform a linear array of panels that are mostly pointing at the sun. Panels efficiency is measured in Watts, and t

It would actually be clever if they are both for the same job and that company is just split testing their job descriptions.

I'm talking about something different. There are many people for whom a lifetime of hard work will not result in a 5 minute mile, and there are many people for whom a lifetime of hard work will not result in being a great programmer. I kno

Is that really you, or are you outsourcing your HN comments now? Just saying, it doesn't really sound like you.

Most people will never run a 5 minute mile either (the author's analogy, not mine). I was all ready to comment about how it wasn't a very fair comparison, but then I thought about it more and realized that I actually do agree with the analo

Really nice design. I like the simplicity. I hope the Android app is coming soon - that's kind of a must-have feature for me. Currently using Astrid, but that feels a bit bloated.

Can't speak for the GP, but I frequently work with multiple Windows VMs (think large Oracle and SQL Server databases), and 4GB starts to feel a bit small. My ideal machine would have more than 4GB RAM. It could even come at the expense of

She is simply suggesting that startups today aren't working on anything important . I somewhat agree with the article. A criticism like this is difficult for tech-minded nerds to accept, since "importance" is a fuzzy concept lacking clear
