I agree with everything you said except I would love to see more success stories that aren't based on the ad revenue business model. So many great new ideas come out, and then they slap ads on them to make money. It'd be nice to s

I don't know if I agree that Evernote is overrated, but I personally don't like them for what they did to one of my favorite apps, penultimate (iOS notebook app). I specifically bought that app so I could have my notes always with

I grew up in London and I'm of very mixed descent (mother- English, Irish and Scottish, father- African-American and Cherokee Indian). One of my best friends was from Scotland and due to his parents was extremely racist, but half of hi

This is a reply to your earlier comment, that no one cares. I care. I am about your age, and I suffer from depression (which borders on fear of what I may become because my mother had manic/bipolar) I am about to embark upon my own gra

I know. But the specifics he talks about in the article i mentioned are completely out of line. I do believe in the whole Prussian school link, but if you read the Inglis book, you will see his Gatto has almost made opposite interpretations

This is an excellent idea. Maybe this way you could even A/B test different copy.

I've looked into habitrpg.com which allows you to gasify your life. It's a little too cutesy for me, so I am going to try and roll my own version to use.

Someone mentioned charging a 1000% markup for a flashy marketing site, but couldn't it be more like a heroku/aws type deal? Use tarsnap as the backend, but add a more user friendly interface to it. And be up front about it, don&#x

I would definitely make this a blog post, or even an infographic. What I would really like to see/ is all this as a step by step FAQ/how to. If you tell me how to attribute you properly, I will do this. I'm about to embark on

To remotesynth (who I believe authored the post): Hey, how do I decide what is noise and what isn't? Could you possible think about adding a section to the post with actionable steps similar to the ones you listed for side projects? Th

Lets just say I need HTML/CSS/JS, how do I know which components/frameworks/libraries are a must have? They all use the underlying tech (unless, and this could be true as I'm very rusty, they enable something fundam

But what happens if you approach your plain vanilla H/C/J writing with these DRY concepts in mind? One of the reason I would like to use frameworks/libraries is not because of the concepts they introduce, but to basically sto

I am not quite 'just starting out' more like 're-starting out' I liked to think of myself as a lapsed programmer. I am also not looking for an employer (I just got lucky in that I don't need to work for someone ever

I am about to dive head first into web/web app programming. Would you suggest I do it all through plain vanilla HTML/CSS/JS? I mean I wanted to start with these (I first wrote web pages in the late 90s with just HTML) as I be

Hey, I would like to get in touch with you, as I am about to take a year off to try building an app based lifestyle business. My email is in my profile. Just looking for some hints and tips, will probably setup an 'Ask HN' closer

I'm interested in using this for my (original) iPad. As time progresses, more and more websites cause the browser to crash. The latest example was when I tried to view the new apple iCar thingy on apple.com. Never could get it to load.

Hey, I want the last three hours of my life back, and that's from just reading the dev journal! You are correct in his way of dealing with people, really suggests a level of maturity, confidence and open mindedness about him. I like th

If you have PowerPoint 2007, try to find an experimental plugin call pptplex. It allows you to create a presentation almost identical to the style you described, with an almost infinite zoom feature. It came out of the Microsoft research la

Also, as someone researched below, the price now is between 10-25 R. But as someone else said, I think the involvement of the women in production and distribution is the real game changer. I also liked his quote that no person dies of pover

Slightly off topic, but I was disturbed by some of the phrases in there, particularly '30 months for starting a fire' and being proud to have 'managed to stay out of prison'. What has my home country become? You can make

I think you have to shift the graph: what you have under info- rss atom etc, should move up to the data position. Then what? You could do something simple like keyword grouping - '500 news events including the word "drone"&#x

I would definitely go for the teaching option. Maybe you could start like this: 1: If you have a little runway, start by learning some teaching basics, especially regarding teaching adults. Or K12 if that is what you'd like. Start by d

I wonder if more than you think is actually relevant to you? The old adage is you get data, give it structure and it becomes information. I am thinking that maybe nowadays we need the next level: get information, give it 'structure&#x2

I haven't, and won't, 'name you names'. You could have given a nice technical explanation of what Carmack did without having to call the person 'delusional', saying they started with 'pessimisation' t
