If you look at how salaries are distributed across the US public, the 60k - 100k category is way too large while 151k-200k should probably be just one range and not two. As someone who hires programmers, I am much more interested in how man

I have never heard it called "Yoda conditionals" before. That is awesome.

I think it would be great if there was a way to easily capture my "most common error categories". Years ago I got bit a couple of times by assignment instead of comparison errors (i.e. if(x = 1) instead of if(x == 1)) I noticed a pattern an

I imagine these responses aren't what you were expecting. The general consensus seems to be that this is a misguided idea. Maybe you are romanticizing it a bit. A couple of years ago I decided to do something similar. I rented a cabin at a

I also use RescueTime (because I want to be productive) and did not try out the guitar (because I want to be productive). Granted, the plural of anecdote is not data. Is RescueTime a biased sample? Probably. The question to me is which way.

Maybe that will be the end of hearing 37 Signals rail against VC money? I mean, Jason now has $500k in VCs money :)

Will, you probably want to take this to a ruby on rails forum, mailing list, or IRC channel.

I think it is a fair question. Brand new account, only posting in this one thread, with pretty flimsy criticisms, and a screen name specifically indicating a negative bias. I did look into it before posting. I think it is also pretty shitty

Wouldn't that hold true for regular rental cars too? I have never heard of this being a problem with rentals. Maybe TheSkeptic (brand new account) is a competitor?

Which could be described as "driven".

They are still a long way from that.

With an iPhone client for the customers that interacts with the POS, so it is definitely a feature they could have. The iPad POS doesn't appear to be in the app store yet.

To be fair, the buying public isn't reading that post. Also, CEOs as a group already get a pretty bad rap for wage disparity and dishonesty. I think thenpost was courageous ansnsmart.

I am a first time CEO too. I have startup experience and even experience as a business owner. However, being CEO of a startup with outside investors is a whole new experience. I am lucky to have great investors, a strong and friendly board,

I used 15" laptops for years, but recently switched to 13" and feel like it is a more productive screen size. I love dual monitors, but 15" seems just big enough to have distractions visible without having multiple windows usable. The 13"

I would love it if this had Google calendar integration As well. Particularly if it pulled in my appointments for the day and let me schedule around them.

Whereas before this would have gotten downvoted, but there is now no meaningful way to communicate your agreement than to leave a comment.

| What does that even mean? That by not showing the comments we're somehow disrespecting those opinions? What I was trying to say is that I value the votes of the community. The culture at HN is that "+1" type comments are noise, but 73 upv

Why care? Because up votes are also coming from the community and I believe we are all here because we respect the opinions of the people here. Also, comments sort within threads. Sometimes the best reply is to a no-so-great parent comment.

That sound like it worsens the signal/noise ratio. If a comment is definitive (and ratified by up votes) then there would be fewer comments reiterating the point. Are we going for more informative or more participatory?

I would be really interested to know if anyone is looking at the comment posting velocity of users before the change and after.

Unfortunately this wouldn't work for an office where other people may be sitting on the other side of the desk for meetings.

Is there an RSS feed? There is a very select group of feeds that I read daily on my iPad and this would be a great addition.

Using the website could mean that you are open to serendipitous lunches? Either way, I just signed up to see what it is all about, and +1 for the Princess Bride reference.

It is actually a feature they removed. In the early days AppEngine had some support for naked domains. I had one.

Unless you do disbursements based on equity. I don't take a salary, but do take my share of the profits. It is a retail business with multiple locations.
