I love that the age for starting such endeavors is getting lower and lower. If more and more people are exposed to the possibility of creating their own solutions (and fostering their own interests) from a younger and younger age, it will b

* slight nitpick. I changed the basis of the question to encompass the need to reassess driving style in the presence of a change in weather conditions, as opposed to choosing specific instances of danger. That is not a rephrasing as I orig

Actually the question should be rephrased to "Which of these can form precarious driving conditions in cold weather?" because that's what they actually want to know. The problem as I see it is that the test-makers are trying to be overly cl

Yes. If you want to get into designer/developer mode for clients you are likely going to have to learn to host your own servers (note: I don't mean physically, I mean services like Rackspace, etc). If they're a couple static (ie: no server-

I'd be interested to know what HN'ers think one should do if there is no obvious frontrunner. For example, if there are candidates A,B and C but none of them represent voter X well enough. Another question. Which has more effect? Voter X vo

This article really struck me the wrong way. The connection to being a "Man" is really, really weak and could easily be eliminated from the article. I mean... I get the connection to "No Shave November"... but it adds nothing to the content

No. Age is irrelevant in this sense. Find something you enjoy and just keep hacking.

Choice of language is pretty much a matter of comfort when you're first learning. The question is, do you want to be using Ruby/Rails or PHP/Wordpress/Codeigniter/etc. If you're just learning, you're going to want to code in whatever lang

It sounds like you let other's understandings create your own, instead of using your own interests to drive your understanding.

Randomly connected, but the game Rocksmith takes this approach. It'll give you points if you get the strumming correct, but are fretting 2/5 notes correctly. There's a huge focus on "get as much as you can right now, but we're going to keep

It seems that most comments here (and the post itself) are conflating "Hacking" with "Cheating". Cheating would be something similar to placing your name on the interview list, bypassing the need for an application. Hacking is figuring out

I agree. When I started working on the idea that would become my company, I never intended to try to raise capital, etc. I ended up applying to YC because I saw value in those three months that I'm not receiving in my current situation. It

This would be interesting, considering that there is often a window before disgruntled lovers/partners are actually out of the target's life. How long does DNA "last" on something like a toothbrush?

I don't know how many of you have internet, but you could use Google Hangouts to record a video. My new Co-Founder happens to live in Chicago (I'm in San Diego) and that's how we got it done.

Interesting reading. Can Biped be used to model more complex games, such as Halo or Assassin's Creed, or is it targeted at 2D games like checkers or Motherload? In [3] you mention that some researchers in the 70's started working on Datalog

I really enjoyed reading this (fairly long) essay. Valve has a company culture I admire and having a name for a similar structure (open allocation) helps when speaking about intentions. I particularly enjoyed the portion of the essay that d
