i'm a personal trainer, and that is the most succinct and accurate description of the fundamentals of strength training that i have ever read, all the way down to the comment about gym staffers who often don't know what they're talking abou

i know this has been discussed ad nauseam, but when will "they" learn that forcing a user to create an account is a bad idea? i was intrigued until i tried to ask chacha a question ("will chacha survive the recession?") and it bogarted my a

i bet iceland would be an extreme example of this. when i was there, it did seem like a lot of native icelanders looked alike.

if this post were written tongue-in-cheek, i'd call it "funny". since it seems like the poster put a lot of effort into the posting, i'd say it's more "ignorant" or "sad" or even "a perfect example of the disconnect between the stereotypica

this is a community of smart people , not computers . what this incident did was demonstrate certain tendencies in our nature as humans--that is, the collective is still susceptible to certain modes of groupthink and, as rational and logi

questionable design aside, i'm just happy the documentation is back up and loading quickly. without that, i don't know if i'd ever be able to achieve javascript rockstardom.

i wonder if this is the yc startup that pg mentioned at the hacker meetup monday night--the one with the idea that initially seemed "kind of crazy". pg?

firefox, tux, gnu, tomcat, leopard, mongrel, ocaml, hardy heron, etc. i guess it can be considered hacker news...

in the uk, kids will come up to you with puppy-dog eyes and just hold out their hands. i was at a bus stop and a 10-year-old in designer clothes came up to me. i laughed and told him i wasn't giving money to someone dressed in nicer cloth

sorry for the ignorance, but i notice it says "Be sure to RSVP and secure your spot at the meetup!". does this mean there will be reserved seating? or "sorry we're full" guys guarding the door? is it not a casual, "drop by for a beer" type

if we had 80 years of male cub-rearing bears, 80 years of flashy female peahens, and even 80 years of zebras racing in the Kentucky, should headlines still "celebrate" what is a repeatedly confirmed fact of life? a confirmed fact of life

i agree with your point, but i look at it differently. while this tetris script is impressive, we see feats like this a lot around the web. however, the fact that it was written by a female makes it more interesting (note that i did not say

great idea. the functionality is good, but i think an investment in a UI redesign would be a good one. also, i searched for "rock" within 25 miles of boston on 7/27 and got a result from washington and one from nc.

it will probably bubble to the top as it gets voted up. also, the 'email' field in your profile is hidden. if you'd like your email to be visible, it must appear in the "about" section.

i agree. it would be fun to help out fellow hackers and work ad-hoc on small, discrete chunks of side-projects. additionally, if no one with the required skills is available for certain mini-projects, this could be a nice reason to learn so

I think part of the issue here is the nature of the beast--for most English teachers, teaching is less about showing their students how to successfully parse the symbolism and subtext, and more about clubbing them over the head with the tea

So what is it, then? Military? If so, I'd imagine there are lots of opportunities for a "very good hacker" to use and expand his skill set. Experience is key, so go after it. At this point, the thing I'm most curious about is why you're not

it sounds like your recommendation is to make sure i am competent/comfortable in the core technology, and then worry about the ancillary stuff as it comes up. is that right? i'm not worried about not knowing the answer to something in an in
