Interesting. I'm using Adblock Plus for Chrome on Win7 and was able to view the article just fine.

To echo shrikant, I also don't have this issue at my place of employment. Perhaps it's a setting at the administrative level? I can only agree with you that Skype for business is a pretty lackluster tool, and it's a real sham

I am, although I use the Xfce version. Back in the day, before I learned to program, I used distributions like Arch, Slackware, Gentoo, etc. that generally required manual configuration and knowledge of the system and Linux in general. I re

Assuming it's not all homegrown, can anyone determine what software he was using besides MPlayer?

Why not respond like this to the comment I was replying to? doki_pen said "Many Americans believe in following the law no matter what" . Might this also be a tiny number of people when compared to the whole U.S. population? Speak

While the group of Americans who "believe in following the law no matter what" might partially intersect with the gun owner/advocate group, I'd like to add that there are apparently many 2nd Amendment folks who also beli

I was a "pest control technician" (exterminator) before I started programming professionally, so I know how you feel. My life now is a cakewalk by comparison.

I'm moving to Chicago in a few months. Are there certain neighborhoods that should be avoided on the basis of corrupt police activity? I wonder because I could see neighborhoods that are relatively safe in terms of civilian crime, but

Wow, I feel kind of dumb for admitting it, but I completely forgot to consider this as a possibility. I went to a somewhat smaller university in Michigan (GVSU), but I bet there are a decent number of grads working there. Thanks!

Thanks, I appreciate the suggestions. My problem is that I have very little work experience in the industry at this point (< 1 year), so I don't think any "senior" positions would be open to me yet. I am somewhat strongly

I didn't downvote you, but from what I've read (mostly here on HN), there are people in the industry advocating for easier work visas to bring skilled developers into the US to fill a talent vacuum. I'm not sure how accurate

Thanks, this is particularly useful information as I have a growing interest in all things embedded. My experience at this point is pretty minimal and is limited to messing around with an Arduino which, as I understand from reading about ba

I realize there are a plethora of companies that do interesting things on the back-end (and increasingly a lot of cool stuff on the front), but when it comes down to it the vast majority of (enterprise) web jobs involve getting some informa

Wow, I didn't think this would get much of a response and I really appreciate all the advice given thus far. I realize now that I really should have been more specific about a couple of points. First, by "web job" I mostly me

Ask HN: Where are all the non-web jobs?

While this is true, you're comparing a desktop OS to an enterprise OS. You're mostly paying for support from Red Hat for that $4200 price tag, something you definitely don't get with a retail copy of XP.

As the article mentions, the Turkmen are people in northern Syria, not Turkey, and have apparently had their villages bombed by the Russian military recently. A pretty strong incentive, I'd say.

I'm interested in writing a fairly bare-bones, standalone application for note sequencing, patch selection, and controlling the master clock of external MIDI synths and drum machines. Is this a suitable framework, or is there something

I took a Machine Learning course this past winter and this article in particular would have been really helpful since I struggled most with this concept in particular (and gradient descent in general). While most resources show you the mech

I really, really like this behavior on mobile, especially on sites that dynamically load new content as I scroll down. I honestly don't understand the harsh criticism I'm seeing in the comments here, because this really is a super

So, a vegetarian diet is without science on its side despite plenty of evidence to the contrary (not listing any sources, there's plenty of information available on the subject), yet someone marketing a nutrient goo with obvious nutrit

As someone with essentially no experience with Smalltalk, let me offer some criticism. (It's constructive criticism, I promise :) I'm a CS student taking a programming languages course, and for our term project we need to learn a new progra
