That's all right, and understandable. Seems my question was not completely wasted, though. It generated a fairly interesting discussion above. :)

Can you reveal the algorithm you are asking them to implement? Your anecdote is interesting in the context of the recent stories about a lot of programmers not being able to solve the fizz-buzz problem.

Thanks for making it. Very entertaining and almost hypnotizing to watch. The application freezes for me when I set "population size" to 5, i.e. identical to "simultaneous creatures". Seems to happen rather consistently in Chrome on windows.

No, I tested in three browsers[1] prior to writing my comment, just to avoid getting caught in something like what you suggest. :) The behaviour seems consistent across all three, independent of whether I'm logged into my Google account or

Another thing I find more annoying with the recent changes is that previously visited links are not marked as such any longer. When searching for the solution to a problem, it is quite nice to easily know which pages have already been visit

This sounds largely like Google Knol. ( http://knol.google.com/k ) I don't think that is generally thought of as a very successful undertaking.

Probably not. In a recent thread[1], the consensus seemed to be that introducing monetary rewards for community participation was a bad idea, that would largely cause people to game the system. I should think that your idea would encounter

Have you tried putting some deadlines on his tasks? Get him to commit to some deadlines for his tasks, obviously made with his input. It's my experience that a lack of deadlines and a bit of interest from someone monitoring the progress, ca

It could probably be argued that needing this plugin is actually a symptom that you need to rethink some part of your UI. If an element is important enough to be pointed out like this, it should perhaps feature more prominently in the layou

Does anyone have more information on this bit? "It resembles a model developed by Miguel de Icaza's Mono Project, in which the information the compiler generates about a program can be reused as a library." Sounds very interesting, but th

But most of these additional features seem to be mostly about being allowed more advanced ways to contribute to the community, e.g. editing other users' comments, locking articles etc. None of the features (that I know of, my SO karma is no

Be careful with introducing monetary rewards. Rewards can sometimes have weird psychological effects on people, and may actually lessen their willingness to contribute because the task comes to be seen more as "work" than pastime [1] . Smal

What kind of loophole in your signed agreement did they try to use to get hold of your IP? Was there a problem with the contract, or were they simply hoping you would cave in order to avoid a legal battle?

Looking through the comments on each of the two HN stories about this, should probably give you an idea of what people on HN think of the purchase. :) http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2886342 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=288634

Isn't it questionable whether WP7 will be manufacturer-neutral? The level of cooperation between Nokia and Microsoft remains to be seen, but a possible outcome is that Nokia ends up looking like a subsidiary of Microsoft.

This is probably going to make some of the other handset manufacturers (HTC, Sony-Ericsson, etc) complain about Motorola having an unfair advantage when it comes to implementing Android. Wonder if any of them are about to regret basing thei

A more correct title would be "a short introduction to the waterfall methodology". Seems to be an essay written with the sole purpose of promoting the author's company. Googling some of the more unique sentences shows that the text has been

Make sure that the break with your ex-co-founder is a clean one, i.e. ensure that company ownership, IP rights etc is resolved in a way that leaves no room for doubt at some later point. You should try to avoid a situation where he can retu
