The way it currently works is that they just don't allow you to upload anything until you're below your limit. They continue to store whatever is there, and do not delete it.

Using Maps in NYC is a joke. Aside from no public trans (not a big deal; that's easy enough to work around), it's totally wrong with POIs. It even places the Met about, oh, 100 blocks south of where it actually is. Absolutely worthless.

That's a sweeping and unqualified statement. I'm very happy as employee #1 at a very early-stage startup. I'm learning more, and faster, here than I could hope to anywhere else. And not just engineering know-how. I'm getting a de-facto busi

This seams like a nice version of seamless.com, no? Seamless could doubtless be made better, but I'm curious as to why a merchant would go with these guys rather than Seamless (which has tons of users already.) As a frequent Seamless user,

The Ivys and liberal arts places I know take multiple children going to school at the same time well into account. I'm sorry for the trouble, but I'm not sure if you didn't look into it, or if you are talking about a situation well into the

The myth of a top-notch education costing six-figures is getting a little old. The price tag is over $200k. The actual cost is under $50k, with the price dropping as you go to school with bigger endowments/better financial aid. Many schools

What companies are these people working for? The ones I've looked at and the ones my friends work at pay their programmers significantly more than PMs and BAs.

That's simulating the answer; you can get an exact answer without using a computer.

You should check out LaTeX if you haven't; I am a big fan of Markdown & syntax highlighters, but LaTeX is solving a much different problem, and it solves it very well.

Thanks :) left that important bit out. This is opposed to O(n log n) for what's been around.

Flagged for the linkbait title (which is in fact the title of the forum post), but I'd love it if the title we just edited to actually reflect what was going on. Edit: To answer some comments; it's misleading because Apple is rejecting som

Very cool, and nice code. Just to be pedantic (I mean it in the best way), this isn't quite literate programming. A very basic explanation would be: literate programming is the result of writing a program in a sort of psuedo-code that expla

I think the most interesting thing about whatever Dustin does is the hype he's able to build around it—I'm consistently impressed, and wonder if he might not be as effective as a promoter as he is a designer.

Though I know there's a chance you'd not be willing to share the information, I'd love to learn a little bit about how you built this product. It appears as though you're using ML to recognize the gestures—anything else you could share woul

I can't help but think the same. Though it wasn't so much hearing it as going to a school that was far too easy. It's not even my grades that have suffered, but how much knowledge I may have let slip by because I just retained it long enoug

I wonder if HN might not be your target population at all, and therefore you may get a lot of "no interested" responses from here. People here tend to be outwardly more self-assured; not the kind of people who want to ask a random person

I don't think you are correct, though you may be partially correct. Perhaps many people get into programming by fixing bugs, but that never appealed to me, and didn't really appeal to many people I know. It's good advice for newbies trying

No, in Kentucky! Though to be honest, I just convinced them to let me use Clojure. It was a lab, though, so I had a lot of leeway as long as I got things done.

It's so true. Though I haven't been nearly as immersed in the Clojure community as Anthony has, two of my last four jobs/internships have been in Clojure (well, really, they hired me back). And I've loved it. I love the language–it's the pe

I didn't call names, but I'd be happy to elucidate. Krugman's article (the first hit) seems to explain it pretty clearly, but I'll do what I can. A Geithner Put essentially means the banks could take enormous risk because they, simply put,

I don't mean to target just you, and a lot of people apparently don't know what it is, but before responding to my comment in any way, you should probably look up what a Geithner Put it. Then you'd find that your response looks a little foo
