Since I'm seeing so much negative reactions, I guess I should mellow down my strategy a bit.

by cool-RR 17y ago
It is possible that my strategy is mistaken and that I should change it. I'm thinking about it. Amusingly though, in the example that you brought my strategy would have been pretty good. Instead of reading through your ad until I got to the

The fact that a job applicant doesn't read through the entire job posting doesn't mean he doesn't have attention to detail - it can mean he decided that reading it thoroughly is just not worth the time. Just because someone sends his resume

Why should the job applicant waste his time reading the job description of every one of the hundreds of jobs he will try to apply to? I think the best thing to do is to just send the resume, and if they'll want you they'll contact you.

Right, I saw that log file thing on Vista too, I'll look into that. But as long as it works, that's good enough. Thanks to you I don't have to start downloading Windows 7 :)

I agree, it's a bit annoying that it continues into infinity; I considered having a "spherical" world, but the problem is that the window size may change, and I don't know how I could keep it consistent when it happens. If you got an idea o

I solved the Vista problem - please re-download it and tell me if it works on Win 7 now.

Solved! Download the new version from the site. Tell me if it gives you a weird error message after you close the program.

I'll get on it.

Yeah, it's directly inspired from Logo. Logo was great because you were immediately able to program, and immediately see the results on the screen. There wasn't any annoying procedures to do before you could start, no graphics packages to l

Thanks for telling me - I don't have a Vista box, but I should definitely solve that. I think I'll install Vista on VMWare and look at that.

That's right, it's all Python and wxPython so porting it should be trivial. A Mac version will come, I hope that someone more Mac-savvy than myself will help me with making it.

This is my little side project that I've been working on for a few months. It is a way for curious people who are not computer-savvy to teach themselves Python. Of course, it can also be used in a class with an instructor. Yes, I am aware o

This article that you linked to from your site: http://lbrandy.com/blog/2009/07/computational-performanc-a-b... Is really eye opening.

I think the "VC funded" title is misleading: In the article he says "We’ve got quite some money as a seed investment from a VC."

I self-studied math for 2 years. I just attended lectures without officially enrolling to the university. I also did about half of the homework problems given in these courses (My math-student friend was envious of me: I could choose the in

Will I get downvoted if I'll point out that you can see in the picture here: http://www.microspotting.com/about that she isn't even that hot? In my opinion, if you can't resist the temptation to click that link, you lose your right to dow

I think you're taking it out of context - I think it's meant for things that are said on HN itself, not in articles linked to from HN.

I think not many people feel attracted to you right now.

I don't think downvotes should be used for disagreeing.

I think I lost track of what we're talking about... Rigor is the crux of what? (To clarify, the reason I was comparing research to starting a startup was to show how, even though a field appears to be immensely popular and having a lot of m

Comparing doing an Internet startup doing to the kind of research required to discover new things about the world is a bit ridiculous. [...] Twitter is not "rocket science," [...] I disagree. I agree that building a start-up involves less

I think his question is fairly reasonable. The field of physics is so large and the amount of knowledge and sophistication required in both mathematics and physics to actually "discover laws of the universe" that it would be very difficult

I haven't finished reading it yet, but I'd say I generally agree that scientists today are dull. They don't have a sense of mission. They have little ambition. They seem more like bureaucrats than scientists. I am trying to separate myself

When you see a feature of our bodies that has obvious disadvantages, it will almost always have some redeeming advantage, obvious or not. And the bigger the disadvantage is, the bigger the advantage must be. I know there are exceptions to t

A related thing that's been bugging me: Why do guys have balls? Specifically, why is such a sensitive organ placed in such an easy-to-hit place? I know that balls are hanged outside the body because they need to be at a lower temperature, b
