Hi Sam. There's a million questions and I have not read them all; so if you have answered this question already, please feel free to ignore it. It seems that much of what YC funds these days lies in combinations of software with other

As someone who is currently experimenting with RethinkDB and GraphQL for a personal protect, I have been impressed with both technologies and they have been rather straight-forward to integrate with my React frontend, even without the bless

This seems like a move into the Chinese-style mega-app where you can do everything from one app - buy shoes, talk to your friends, figure out when the train departs. Facebook already has two top-50 apps, and creating new, unproven apps and

How about learning one thing well, so that you can use it for a wide range of projects? Choosing React and using it for everything sounds like a great idea to me, since you can transfer your knowledge from larger projects to smaller ones, a

I thought the Outer Space Treaty was meant to prevent things like these. Personally, I hope we'll leave behind all of our arbitrary notions of states once we leave earth. It's too late to remove the dividing lines on earth, but we

What about the 10^40 years between IPv6 exhaustion and proton decay? No one plans for the future these days.

I don't understand why this is called an illusion. How about just counting the edges as a measure of popularity? Surely nothing "appears to be more popular" than it is -- if there are more outgoing edges to other nodes, it i

This is not going to work unless it is enforced by software running on the HN servers. Many of the hiring posts are posted by non-hackers who don't give a flying roomba about specs and correct formatting. The ideal format would be some

The obligatory Python says that there are 120 solutions, or %0.03 of the possible permutations. It seems almost cruel to subject 8 year-olds to a problem like this, even if they have enough intuition to reduce the problem space a bit. Maybe

Thanks for writing it up! Diving into a large production-level C++ library is always going to be intimidating. I suppose projects like Node/io.js need as many contributors as they can get, so anything that lowers the barriers to entry

I think there's a lot of value in that period of time before the first commit. Rich Hickey supposedly spent two years thinking about Clojure before even writing a single line of code, and I'm sure Torvalds spent an equivalent amou

I agree. Reading it, I felt there were quite a few inferences made with just a dash of artistic liberty. There is some value in adding flair to historical accounts, but not when it potentially distorts important details like, for instance,

I'm not too knowledgeable about this subject, but I've been interested in learning how native code debuggers work for a long time. One thing I wonder is, if the debugger inserts an invalid instruction or a hardware breakpoint inst
