I see a lot of people complaining "we don't have enough programmers", while not adjusting themselves to account for the lack of supply they freely admit exists. They've tried exploiting people in places with worse econom

I've never met a programmer who was any good that wasn't mostly self-educated. In order to be successful in the fluid world of development, one must always be learning, and the information is out there, for free, ripe for the pick

I'd suggest that you don't need a CS degree to teach high-school level programming. I'd suspect many existing high school teachers, if given a tour of the involved concepts and resources, would be able to lead a group of stud

I can confirm on the screen, I was impatient and did not seek out an ips screen on my x230 - it has awful viewing angles. My wife has an X1 2nd gen and the split backspace is something I must have repressed, good call there. Total shit. I w

I feel compelled to bring up how cheap, modular and abundant bad-ass second-hand thinkpads are. Not to mention that even the new-generation keyboards are amazing, and put the shallow crap on my macbook pro to shame. The money you'd spe

I like this idea, but the pedant in me is annoyed that they chose an apple LED Cinema/Thunderbolt Display lookalike for their promo images. This display is one of the few mainstream monitors one can not just plug an HDMI cable into. It

Love it. Back in 2012 I asked @gruber on twitter if he thought it was ok to submit a resume in markdown, his response was: "For the right kind of job, I’d wager it’s an advantage to submit in Markdown."

I guess I think those things to be the building materials, and folder structure/routing/etc to be the stuff I don't mind making my self. I get how this might be opposite for others though.

Give me a box of boards and nails any day. All my ikea furniture is rickety and much of it is starting to look dated. I just spent a good amount of time over the last few months building a prototype for an application in Meteor and it has b

The struggle is real. I've been doing Pomodoro w/ a timer and finding it helpful. Found a lot of the stuff here related to that process for me. The first one of the day is still the hardest though. Nothing harder than starting.

I wonder if the train company just decided to keep the train running without consulting with the girl's family and proposing other options.

by canthonytucci 11y ago
My entire opposition to this is based on the idea that slowing an accelerating a train is grossly more inefficient in terms of pollution and fuel waste than just finding a way to get her to the next station on a transport that does not weig

by canthonytucci 11y ago
I'm not sure I follow. I understood it that they're keeping the station open solely for her and stopping the train to align with her schedule. They're not (to my knowledge) doing this for anyone else, so it seems to me like s

Monetary cost, sure. What about the cost on the environment to slow the train down and bring it back up to speed?

I had a very similar thought. I'm surprised how many people are calling this "beautiful" and getting all misty eyed, this feels like an inelegant solution. I would love to be wrong and hear that someone did the math and found

Glad to see this. I switched from Lightroom to dark table earlier this year and have been pleased. The only thing I really miss is the dehaze slider. That thing is magical. It's possible to produce similar effects in light table but mo

I thought the same thing, but found that if you hover over the property it will give you possible values in a tool-tip.

or...you know...use an adblocker. I found the content interesting and the writing awkward. Always interesting to hear story of how projects get shipped. Overall worth a click and a read.

I see a lot of people using "agile" and Scrum™ interchangeably. Am I just a deluded fool, or is the agile manifesto completely ignored in practice? People talk about "agile methodology" and I wonder "doesn't t

I find it best to make sure not to fill out the "to" field in emails which I know are going to be "controversial". An errant tab+enter in gmail can really make the day a lot more complex. Edit: Once it's been toned

I think that we're talking about two different things. This challenge seems great to get some, as the link refers to "part-time CS student" employees. I read the original article as aimed at an employer who is trying to find

I think they're handling this poorly and that for a company as big and rich as google, "we only have so many people fixing Android 5 bugs." is a pretty weak excuse. That said, I bet google knows better than we do how many act

Not exactly this, but iOS and google both have voice mode shortcuts you can use "Hey Siri" (which i think only works when the device is plugged in) and "Ok, Google". The problem I see is users getting frustrated with fal

I read it as "At work, I'm happy to pay for software." and "I prefer to use open source software." as two separate thoughts. That said, I agree that just because people can contribute to software doesn't mean t

> A relevant point that the article failed to mention was, laptop/tablet/smartphone usage distracts not only the user, but those around him as well [1]. Just having such a device in view lowers the comprehension of material. If

I think a third party can aggregate these and that would be enough. Personally, I like that HN is a single page to visit (more or less) with occasional ShowHN items appearing, I like seeing them, but would be less likely to visit a separate

It's certainly a possibility, but my guess is that based on windows' pretty crazy market penetration (I don't think I've ever met anyone who's _never_ used a windows machine at least at work or school), and the fact

Very cool, however I was hoping the cow's spots would change colors as I moved the sliders.
