I had no idea, sorry. Most of what I said about direct-linking doesn't apply if you're affiliated with the website you're direct-linking to.

Friendly reminder: don't embed images from other people's websites, especially if you're looking to get on HN/Slashdot/reddit/whatever. First, it's rude. The owner of the second website has to deal with th

I wouldn't do the website as a matter of principle. I helped build a website for a department when I was in college. I was paid a reasonable hourly rate in exchange for my services. In this case, the OP would be paying the university m

I'm sure lots of poor people would find wisdom in what you're saying, including single mothers, people with health issues, people making a lot less than $10/hr, students, and a lot of others I'm sure I'm forgetting.

Does this guy have any idea how hard it is to come up with good interview questions? By posting the question and solution online (complete with an md5sum and everything!), he has ruined the question, and his employer will now need to spend

I share the grandparent's frustration. I'm not opposed to the NYT having a paywall, but submitting paywall-protected content to a news aggregator is a bad idea, especially when free alternatives exist. The point of a news aggregat

The problem with Phoenix is that it already has a larger population than its water supply can support.

Yeah, I think we're pretty much on the same page. I think we both agree that established startups probably provide the best balance between risk and reward, but I'm less optimistic about the potential reward, especially for an eng

"You'll almost certainly walk away with the equivalent of a few hundred thousand per year" "Certainly" is an inappropriately strong word. Even if you assume a salary of $150,000/year, in order to reach $300,000

As mentioned several times, Github is not your resume. At the very least, it's not mine. Sure, I have a github profile, but the little side projects there don't really have anything to do with my professional work (most recently,

"It is expensive." is definitely relevant. If my fiancee and I go out for dinner and we each have a couple of drinks, the tab at least doubles.

An interesting idea, but it assumes that the demand doesn't change after a government seized a large number of BTC.

I think it mostly depends upon the range of each of the nodes. If your nodes have an average range of 820 feet (the range of 802.11n (in good weather, I assume)), and you have 1 node exactly every 820 feet between NY and SF, that's ove

A large scale mesh network is interesting to me for a couple of reasons: * Consumers would no longer be dependent on monopolies like Comcast for internet service (OSI layer 1) * It is much more resistant to eavesdropping and censorship (OSI

You might want to try out Xubuntu. XFCE is even more lightweight that GNOME2 and I have really come to appreciate it.

Does the barber need arbitrary shapes in this case? It looks like his pain point was that he was walking to a computer. Perhaps having a tablet by his phone could fix this problem? It could be as easy as the paper calendar solution, but sin

The Java browser plugin runs unsigned applets in a sandbox. Sandboxed applications can only use a subset of Java that should make it impossible to cause serious damage to the host system. However, if an attacker can break out of the sandbox

This is interesting, but I wouldn't consider it a conclusive study. According to the original paper, the sample size is only 21 (12 napping pilots, 9 no-rest pilots).

The premise of your argument (that you own the Space Monkey device) is totally unfounded. In order to win this debate, you're going to need a stronger claim to ownership than "I thought I owned it, so I own it!"

At a previous job, there was a legacy UI application that had a 10,000+ line file called "messloop.c". It consisted of a function called messloop(), which was an infinite loop with a massive switch statement inside of it. I never
