Pretty sophomoric, insignificant, and unworthy of HN readers' time.

Agreed. I think the stack exchange sites hould just openly state: "If you ask a questions that harms the ego of any of our mods, your question will be summarily closed. Be advised that our mods identify with the technology at hand, so any c

Ditto on this. I feel you usually have to know where a setting is so you can know where a setting is. There might indeed be a criteria for the separation (ie, sudo vs non-sudo), but the fact that it is not readily apparent makes it (imo)

this is great... But the link to the SO user profile is broken, at least for me... Methinks a SO username is not enough to construct a link to the profile Great work!

Amen brother! A happy customer is a great source of revenue over time even thoguh you may take a hit from time to time. How big a hti you take depends on how good you are at what you do, and how good the client is (as far as helping you d

I thnk we are talking about the same thing... Based on estimations, it is always a goods idea to add a certain room for error, additional expenses, etc... I did not say multiply $20 times the number of hoiurs, I just said that you need to

LOL, you just don't know how to estimate how long it's gonna take, or you don;t specify what needs to be done well enough. Lots of people work for a fixed price with happy clients and they end up being happy with the outcome too (myself inc

For me it's simple. Paul Graham is the guy with the money, the one that is "making it." I love Ted Dziuva, and for all of his humorous, scathingly accurate (most of the time) insight, he Ain't all that good a businessman. So when it comes

This is dumb.. The more choices you have, the more confused the person choosing is. Sorry, but having too many choices does not make the choice easier. Also, of course you know that a "good" distro is, but someone just coming into the fold

Answer: Who gives a crap? Since when did a variation of an answer matter more than the problem? If a new computer language solved a problem otherwise unsolvabe, then it would raise eyebrows. If Erlang had a chance, Scheme and all those s

Seriously people, with Apple having the history it has, is anyone surprised by this? Honestly, anyone? This is like someone writing a blog post complaining that there are no clones for Apple hardware, or getting a cease and desist after p

Is this really a surprise? If we wanted completely fair elections, there would be no unequal campaign funding, no TV, a 6 month pre-election gag, etc... etc... Anyone speaking to a group of people about the election gets more than one vot

I'm part of the "I don't do this myself, but I manage people who do" crowd. It's always good to see these types of articles on here. They keep us from being totally ignorant about the mechanics of our own projects. Thanks!

Not everyone's built to be an entrepreneur... Nothing wrong with that, all of us that are, we need employees ;-) Just cuz you are capable of doing it does not mean you should.

I think it depends in the industry. If it is a "good ol' boy network" (ie, banking), then hire from within the industry. Your new guy will already be "inside the club," and will be able to get right down to selling. If you are in an indus

Some mention of what a continuation is in Scheme would have helped... (Not that I'm asking for it, it just would have made a world of difference to the reader)

on #1) Asking a question again is fine, the problem (IMO) is that the poster might not realize it is a dupe. So when someone posts a dupe, IMO, they should be told it's a dupe (and then the previous date/time posted), and let them decide

Since when do people have a choice? Instead of "don't do dull work" (which might translate to "don't do what you are asked to do"), I say you do the stuff you hate as fast as possible. Engage it with zeal, and get it the heck over with as

It's not about being condescending, my point was that the manager of the OSS project was a bad manager. A bad allocator of resources. That's pretty much it. I have no desire to get into a Technology A vs Technology B pissing match so I'll

Oh you'd be surprised what you get abroad for $5k... US-based developers with mediocre skills: Be afraid, be very afraid.

You ask about how many open source projects I manage. None. I am a completely private sector guy. I've done a lot with $5K; employing that focus I talked about. I was not taking a shot at anyone, nor at open source. Just at resources vs

This guy is absolutely, positively, dead wrong about OSS projects and money. First of all, money is nothing but a resource. Get that word in your head. Resource. It means you can use it towards a goal. You can administer it. So this guy

I moved the f*ck out of the US and set up a business in Mexico. I will not say what or exactly where, but my quality of life has shot straight up. Everything's cheaper, the girls are great, no Bush politics, I don't hear stories of police
