Go to nearby lake with laptop and fishing rod. Catch 2 lbs of fish. Clean. Cut into nuggets. or go to store and buy catfish nuggets. (Walmart sells $10 for a 5 lbs box). Mix together the following: 1 tsp black pepper powdered + 1 tsp salt

IMHO 1) interpreting of tags 2) sending the tagged content at a site, to an enquiring browser so that in a virtual sense, one is visiting the location.

"when I was in 7th grade, I was primarily interested in making millions of dollars" really??

the $$$ question is, is it unobvious ? (assuming qs 1-3 from Pressman's Patent It Yourself are 'yes'.)

How boring y'all make it seem! play them clips from movies (e.g. the scene from Titanic which was computer generated), popular games then play short interviews with the designers and developers who wrote them. then show them a simple comput

The concept was not a fad. The concept was an advance which has lived on in other browsers. With imagination perhaps, one could even apply the paradigm of a browser to mechanical and biological domains ("non-computing" in a software sen

If microprocessors lasted only 5-6 years before they were replaced by a newer type of technology - then, yes, they would be just a fad. :)

news.YC = talking about intending to work on one's startup. ;)

Clarification: I was roughly talking of techniques or improvements to apply to our software design and code. Not about adopting new technology as a business strategy.

thanks. I notice though it may be a bit dated - 1999.

clarification: Cormen is wonderfully easy to read, relatively speaking. I learnt from Automata Theory, Formal Languages, and Computation, by Aho, Hopcroft, Ullman. That was hard :)

"find the appropriate journals. Get an ACM membership so you can search and get full text of the library" for developers with full time jobs?

How does one learn about the latest advances in Computer Science (not fads) to apply and improve your work?

Everything else but this, can be changed. This is non-negotiable.

can you tell me why you think juwo is nuts? I am willing to listen, if it isnt malicious.

"posts i've seen, including yours, have gotten useful, actionable feedback and have consequently improved." I agree :)

I know a technical writer (software) in Bangalore who earns Rs 10K per month (about $200?). If you know of a better opportunity, do email me and I can pass it along.

It's not dating. see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32488 "And I could imagine that if you would ask them, they might be willing to give you more specific information." Not so.

how about this? "we could not understand your idea. please get feedback as to its feasibility from your local university, or someone with experience in the software industry"

No, it is not. It is actually more like a Department of Defense, Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) proposal. Even if you are rejected, you can request feedback on your proposal - and actually, no less than in a meeting. Whenever I h

"I don't owe a rejected candidate anything" Not in the sense of owing him an explanation, but in the decent sense of giving him feedback so he can improve. After all, the candidate took time and trouble - it is a kindness. An application t

if we are not even given any feedback as to why our applications were rejected, then it seems peremptory and a complete waste of time. Surely, they could have copy-pasted even one summary line from their evaluation sheets? It is a simple co

Simply not true. Read the insightful comments that disagree, on the main post. I too, am tempted to blame my failures on someone or something else.

bogus story. In Bangalore, IT salaries range from $200 per month to $2K per month. So how can they be 75% of Valley salaries? The real truth is - the good engineers prefer to work for the branded companies. InfoSys, Wipro, Google, Microsoft

YC is about flipping companies for $millions. They have a formula. They are looking for child prodigies who fit a certain mold. People who walk, talk, think and perform a certain way. It is more like the Iron Curtain coaches who ran school

hey rms, I didnt know you were a real live snake oil salesman! :) I thought it was just a figure of speech but apparently they do exist. heh (Just looked at your bio: "importing and selling unique herbal substances").
