The two key differences for me: (1) FancyHands, having been around a lot longer, has far better execution and delivery. Email, phone, an app, recording through the app--many ways to give a task assignment. I usually don't want to tex

You also may be giving too much credit to Hamas and Islamic Jihad's ability to aim rockets at the intended targets. Plenty of the time they hit the middle of nowhere, or they've actually even hit Palestinian-dominated areas (Hebr

Honestly, this was a great reply until that last sentence. I recommend you remove it.

Hacker School is not a random website where you throw up code to have random strangers look at it. It is a three-month-long "writer's retreat for programmers," where you are sitting and working with other developers every si

The issue isn't leaving, but abdicating your responsibilities. This is clearly what you care about as well, when you say "I can't ditch them." While there certainly would be something to be said for the "meaning&q

This kind of clickbait that contains absolute falsehoods in the title really frustrates me. Not everyone is going to read the article, or read to the end even if they click it, and people are going to come away with a misrepresentation of

Have to put out a shameless plug here for Hacker School. I looked forward to code reviews there because I learned so much from them. This is to the point that it actually surprised me reading your comment about how code reviews have been

When I came across this I genuinely thought it was referring to Facebook's Hip Hop Virtual Machine--not music at all.

Congrats, guys. I think this is definitely a step in the right direction. Also great to see this hit HN front page.

Hey guys, I like your landing page a lot--what framework did you use for it? It looks like you used something out-of-the-box, not necessarily from scratch.

Is it possible there's any difference in productivity in open-office environments between introverts and extroverts? I've always wondered that.

Please do. I'd be very interested to read it. I've always been interested in doing a physical-product type company, but I don't want to take outside investment, and it would be excellent to hear a successful bootstrapping s

That is exactly my plan as well. Glad there's finally a book out there on Flask. Without having seen it yet, one thing I'd love to see is "Flask for recovering Djangonauts" or something similar, in addition to how to us

I would argue that percentage of population that uses one versus the other is not the best metric here to determine worldwide use, but rather geographic dispersion or likelihood of use in a random international communication. The parent co

Actually, it's split pretty evenly. See this map.[1] The main difference is that the English-speaking world mainly uses the comma, and HN is generally an English-language board. [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F

Are all of the features of RubyMine included in IntelliJ IDEA? I've never really been fully clear on that, and I love PyCharm--but given that I use Python, Javascript, Ruby, etc., I'd rather just get the one product than need PyC

I don't think it's so much a macho thing. It's one thing to ask for help when you need it--but quite another to ask for help in the form of room and board, the implication (and correctly so, here) being that for whatever rea

Possibly, except my point was Meem is hardly random. If everyone took that initiative, Meem would get a ton of support because of the publicity--but no one else would.

I can't decide how I feel about this. On the one hand, I love the initiative you're taking here and the drive you have. Reading the article, my immediate thought was "that's terrible"--whereas yours was "What

You've had that difficult of a time going for a CS masters? What schools have you looked into? I ask because I'm considering the same thing, but I find it surprising that you can't find anywhere that will take you withou

I think the question is, how were you able to afford to take so much time to do that? Everyone agrees that your effort is admirable; it's a matter of understanding how you even had that kind of time to spend in the first place.

Or maybe some of them could have been mentored away from the problems they had? Or maybe someone could have done a better job not hiring them in the first place and not starting a relationship? I don't agree so much with the implicatio

Maybe they should have tried pay for access? I would have paid. Would have been a bit like taking its usership hostage, but it remains the only rss reader that fit my needs perfectly.
