> "So what do B and C developers do?" Strive to be A developers. Sorry if it sounds too harsh, I personally classify myself as a B developer.

This is a very interesting heatsink design. That said, having a finned heatsink spinning at 2000+ RPM seems potentially dangerous, especially if someone were to touch it with their bare fingers while it's operating.

I too find advertisements in general unsavory.

Although I didn't watch the keynote, I tuned in to the live tweeting CNN gave. Don't get me wrong, Apple's Macbook Pro is a nice piece of hardware, but I failed to see anything earth-shattering in their recent announcements. At a high level

"On San Fransisco: If you want amazing food, beer, and weather, there’s no other option." Austin, TX? Then again my opinion is biased considering I live there.

An interesting idea, but I can imagine that under realistic constraints such a solution would look rather tacky, unless the person was standing completely still.

Nice, so far I've gone 2 years without shopping for clothes. My coworkers have my dress habits practically memorized, gray/blue T-shirts Monday thru Thursday, and a Maroon or white shirt on Friday.

There was a phase in my life not too long ago where I experienced lucid dreams and/or night terrors, granted I had a very bad diet and sleep cycle at the time. After a couple of weeks it ended up taking a toll on me both physically & me

Actually, I find the article quite funny and thought provoking. It makes you wonder how long icons like these will remain the norm, and if they'll ever change.

What you are describing sounds like my 5 year-old HP DV9000. The keyboard & track-pad were surprisingly of very high quality, very close to that of Apple's IMO. Too bad though the hardware & chasis design of the product line was ext

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always thought the "brogrammer" stereotype stemmed from a rise of people within the tech industry that broke the classical notion of a software geek. Individuals whom were excellent software engineers, yet

If by competition you mean the walled data silos each company builds in order to prevent users from leaving their platform, I would much rather prefer cooperation.

Even with those safeguards, it is still possible to create a phony/spam G+ account. Asking for more information doesn't solve the problem, it simply forces the user to fabricate more information in the beginning during the sign up process.

It appears that your view of IBM, and other tech companies in general, are skewed to some degree: > "These days, IBM is in decline. Friends/tech blogs/even sites like Cringely -- http://www.cringely.com/ -- note how IBM is quickly try

In my opinion, the problem with programming language tutorials (especially those found on the web for free), is that many are written by people who are not that great of technical writers, and even less so at keeping the reader's attention.

After reading the blog post, I actually agree more with the 501 Developer manifesto. One year after graduating from college and landing my first professional job, I discovered that although I love programming, I love life a lot more. For me

Thinking out loud and putting all realistic implications aside, for farm and grind games like World of Warcraft, it would be very interesting to see an anti-bot policy turned into an actual game mechanic; one that pits the noble, rule-abidi

Being enrolled as a full-time student in a university is the perfect time to dive into formal/mathematical proofs, algorithms, data structures, and discrete mathematics. Those subjects are the backbone of Computer Science, so it will be to

No. If you want to be taken seriously as a web developer, I would argue to take testing and cross-browser compatibility (HTML/CSS/JS) seriously, whatever machine/environment you decide use doesn't matter.

Damn, I hate hearing about layoffs. I work in a close-knit team of developers and testers, where each of one us is an important contributor to our company's goal, and it impacts our productivity tremendously when someone leaves. Maybe I'm n

Many government agencies and enterprise organizations expect their software vendors/providers to conform to a set of development standards and quality management. Peer-driven code reviews for all changes is almost always one of them. Sure,

I'm pretty sure once quantum computing takes off engineers will be able to safely port an already existing encryption protocol onto it, it is not a major concern to me.

The game mechanic of grinding is common across many MMORPGs for good reason, it is a proven money maker when done right. If you think about it, this is a win-win scenario for both game developers of this genre and players: they get to wave

I see startups like Codecademy beneficial in that they are providing an easy and streamlined way to learn programming fundamentals, with the added fun of accomplishments and badges. You'd be surprised at how something as trivial as badges p

The article is Ok, but posting "REST is OVER" is obvious flame bait. People need to stop doing this on HN.

Interesting article. I usually sleep from 7pm - 10pm, wake up and do stuff (like read HN), then sleep again from 3am - 8am, with just enough time to get ready for work in the morning. Not too long ago I suffered from minor insomnia and luci

Kudos to the author of the article. I read the referenced article on glazman.org, and once "glazou" described -webkit-* as having "hardware market dominance", I could not stop LOL'ing until I finished reading his blog post. Seriously?! I se

The article makes a good point. I too sometimes feel the same way in my technical career, often asking myself: "Do I really know X as much as I think I do"? I don't view it as insecurity, more often just an observation that there are real l
