Earmuffs work well too. I use these: http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/productImages/1000/14/14841... I get some pain after 30 minutes so I take them off for a bit and then wear them again.

The first thing that jumped out at me when I was reading this was: "wow, this guy is devoting as much if not more energy to marketing the product as he is to building it" Definitely a lesson a lot of the HN crowd (myself included)

That's really interesting. Can you expound on this a little more? I've never done it but am thinking about it so that's why I ask. Were you self conscious? How'd it make you a better programmer? Did you talk out what you

I love the "don't give a F let me broadcast all of it" mentality here. This is amazing. Starting a project much less a business has a lot of ups and downs. Putting a camera on top of you for all of it probably works wonders o

What kind of software did you write that generated interest in a commercial license?

Thanks for the link. One thing I hated about Rails when I tried it was the level of magic involved. Does Phoenix suffer from that at all?

I'm a django guy. I have no experience with functional programming. What would a transition to phoenix + elixir look like for me?

Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance per the recommendations of a lot of HN'ers. Have to say, having a pretty difficult time following it.

Kind of offtopic but I figured I'd ask: how close are we to enemy of the state style satellites that can track movement like a overhead CCTV camera?

This is awesome. I've used Logitech hardware for the past 15 years and Linux for the past 12. Thank you Logitech and thank you Richard. It's been a long journey but bit by bit, we're getting out of second class status.

Big fan of repl.it. I've been teaching kids how to code for a couple years - count me as fan. Good luck Amjad & Haya!

This is fantastic. I live in the east bay and have close friends in south SJ. The best option thus far has been going to Fremont, taking the 181 bus to downtown SJ, and ridesharing it down. This will shorten that ride.

I've stopped buying their chicken. Now I know why. Instead, I'll buy a veggie sandwich and bake a chicken breast myself.

It's been seven years since I've programmed on embedded systems. I remember C ruling the day. Has that changed at all?

Thanks for posting this link davexunit. Just donated $100. I used Octave in undergrad for some engineering classes. This doesn't solve the long term problem for the author but I hope it provides some temporary relief.

No street card to offer --- just a developer passing on some knowledge. I've been using Django for the past two years and React + Redux for the past year. I've scoured around for boilerplates and that's the one that worked fo

And if you're going down the React + Redux + REST framework path and need a boilerplate to start off on, I'd highly recommend Seedstars': https://github.com/Seedstars/django-react-redux-base

TypeScript. Having made the systems engineer -> web developer transition, ES6 has made the ride smooth but I want to take it all the way.
