My first "big" application I wrote and got paid for was a MS Access SQL VB hack I wrote for a company I worked for. I fully expected the thing to crash in a few weeks after I left and they would move on to something else, but no 8

I love listening to The Books when I'm really trying to focus and concentrate. They are disjointed and most of their "lyrics" are just snippets from old TV / movie / radio shows so there is nothing for my brain to l

Interesting idea, your front page had some provocative (and NSFW images) which I would loved to have clicked on and explored more. Instead I was hit with a sign up page. Turned me away because it wasn't that interesting. If there was

I like the idea of this service and I remember when another one launched on HN a few months ago. I do wonder however how sustainable these services are given that others have shutdown. Also your 2nd image on the site is a low resolution ima

Exactly this. It would seem from reading tech websites and blogs that Java is dead. However there is an extensive industry of people writing and maintaining Java applications. You won't hear of some new sexy startup using Java, but the

Sidebar: I get that this is meant to be a thought provoking concept piece and I respect that. My issue here is with the font color choices on some of the paragraphs. It is set to have an alpha of 0.4! Why would you do that? Why make things

It's not about a yes / no answer. It's about negotiation. If they say no to more money then ask for more vacation. Ask for a travel allowance, ask for whatever matters to you. Sometimes they may put it off until a future poi

Here is my personal advice: Get a good solid 8 hours of sleep. Sometimes a lack of motivation is is simply fatigue. It makes my work day drastically different. Don't try and cheat it either by sleeping less using caffeine to feel awake

Here are my 2c from looking at your website: - It feels like you followed a series of tutorials and put these together. Anyone can do this and it doesn't make you stand out. - The website doesn't feel very polished. You still have

Hey, I am not a lawyer but I did grow up next door to you (in St. Lucia) and I ran a series of movie, anime and video game download sites in the early to mid 2000's. I got these notices all the time. When I got one I would simply remov

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao Excellent storytelling, humour and slice of life human drama. It's just amazing how Junot Diaz tells of the tragedy of one family and the fukú curse that haunts them over generations. http:/&#

You're right. I wait for the day when we can make the batteries smaller / motors more powerful.

This is cool. I've been dreaming about something similar. In my mind though it would be smaller and could hitch a ride on your shoulder.

Doing social engineering / penetration testing for a living sounds like a great gig. I've been day dreaming about working for or starting a company like that. Didn't realize it was a booming industry for companies that also d

Why are you not running javascript? Is it a environment restriction, out of security concern or personal preference? Since tone can be tricky on the internet I'll just add that I am genuinely curious about this.

Being a PHP dev since the early 00's it's great to see the language moving forward with features and performance and seemingly less hate towards it from the developer community at large. For a while there seemed to be a "PHP-

Loving the simplicity of it all. I just need to text a number. No app to install and grant access to my phone, no website to go and sign up to with my facebook account. Nothing. Just text a number and get what I want. It solves my problems
