I agree with getting your VPS and experimenting with it when you start (or early in the process). I use Debian on Linode, and I have learned so much. The experience is invaluable. Everything from configuration to automation to security. Thi

Call me shallow, but I just can't take seriously anything that reminds me of the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition. http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Rules_of_Acquisition (Yes, Ferengi rules were recently mentioned in Jeff Atwood's blog, http:/

I've worked for startups and for aerospace and defense contractors. There are of course different ways to approach software project estimation. I've worked on projects where we needed to do details work breakdown structures: http://en.wiki

How I understand it is that Paul is saying Microsoft is irrelevant to those trying to build at the forefronts. That it is not going to spot you, the startup, and eat your lunch, because its core business, its competencies are not where you

Your comments reminded me of a salon.com article I read a few years back on tech support and a guy classifying tech support coping personalities. Hope your experience was better. A quick search found it: http://dir.salon.com/story/tech/fea

That's interesting, I find myself in the opposite environment. I've worked with many more mathematicians than CS grads. It might just be the environments I'm in.

As far as your statement on K-12 being a problem, this topic has been discussed widely (read is a key concern) in the ACM. Here's a resource: http://csta.acm.org/ (Computer Science Teachers Association)

Jeff lists Knuth and Kay as "dead programmers" Sure, he's just trying to place status instead of saying that they're really dead, but it comes across as awkward. He couldn't think of any more dead important programmers or software pioneers,

Since one of the current topics being discussed is the vanishing shopping mall ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=540166 ), I've been wondering why there isn't more of an overall interest (and I don't mean on HN, I mean in general) in ap

If your only talking about machine intelligence that we've already created, then of course we already understand that. I was talking about the concept of machine intelligence and problems that we would like to solve and are trying to solv

I agree that your "solution" fits the culture of hacker news. Rather than write legislation to beat down or prohibit bad behavior, the community here works, by and large, to exert self control and cooperation. Wow, did I just write that? Le
