It absolutely can. I used to be pretty overweight. And I, too, had 17 appointments and 200 emails a day. So naturally, my excuse for not hitting the gym every day was, "I don't have time". I've heard that same excuse a t

Bezos has been playing chess far longer than we even knew a game was going on. He just castled.

The inaccuracy on this is amusing as well.

Jeff Bezos is easily one of the CEOs I respect most in this world.

Correction, properly learning about data types and binary representation is critical to "get" programming. I've found that web developers often undervalue (or even scoff at) web developers with CS degrees, but any first-year

horyd, Co-founder of Bitcast.io here. We just posted our Show HN two days ago. I think you'll like what we've built, and I think your projects would be an excellent fit for our site. If you're interested, shoot me an email, m

I assume their investments will be pretty incestuous with YC's. At least indicated by their Google description: "Initialized. Home. Create a free website with Weebly. Quantcast." Weebly (YC 07)

Earlz, I don't think that people aren't willing to pay for a well written article. Take a look at self-published Amazon Kindle e-books. Some of them are as short as 20 pages and as cheap as 99 cents. And many have been insanely su

We're hard at work on it! Who are your favorite Go screencasters currently?

by ngoel36 13y ago
Thanks! Right now we've done a lot of aggregating, and we've partnered up with some great screencasters to share their content on our platform. That being said, we have a lot of exclusive content in our pipeline, so look forward t

Izztmzzt, I'll admit, we do love Rails :). Naturally, a good percentage of our initial content turned out to be Rails centered, but the large majority of our content library is not. We're looking to expand into all of the areas th

Thanks bdcraven, we completely agree. Even before the rise in screencast popularity, writing a good book on programming took just as much effort, if not more. Authors certainly didn't give those away for free either.

Epa, thanks for the feedback. We are in full support of the fact that web development tutorials need to be open and easily accessible to all. And around half of the content on our site is completely free. Most quality content, however, take

Zach - Thanks for the feedback, we'll definitely take a closer look at things like this in the future.

Stephanos2k, thanks for the feedback! We definitely weren't trying to make it about ourselves but instead demonstrate our passion for screencasts and the screencasting community. That is, after all, why we created Bitcast. We're a

Although we're all big fans of Treehouse, we're definitely not associated with them. I'm sorry you feel that it could be called out as a rip, but our in-house designer develops everything from scratch. I think it's safe

Hey, one of the co-founders here. No particular reason - all four of us are web developers, and we quite simply, we each badly wanted a platform for web development screencasts to exist. We differentiate ourself from YT in a few big ways. T

It took me a long time to figure out why I loved working out so much. I didn't realize that it wasn't just the endorphins, it was because I didn't have my damn iPhone with me. I now make sure to go off the grid for at least a

happypeter: Would love to hear about what type of screencasts you're building, my company ( https://www.bitcast.io ) is looking for the best screencasters we can find. Feel free to reach out at nikhil at bitcast.io.

I think there's something to be said for both subscriptions and a la carte. Subscriptions make sense for content producers because it gives them recurring revenue. It also makes sense for consumers because they don't subscribe to

This is a great move by Pluralsight, which currently boasts ASP.NET as its largest source of content. Peepcode's content library is very complementary, and they are focusing on the right technologies that HN readers at least would reco

Very fast, but to be perfectly honest, still a bit useless for actually finding a business domain name without support for other TLD's. My base point of comparison is domai.nr which does a pretty speedy job across numerous TLDs.

I'm a former Google employee, they had a similar policy. There were no more than x employees per team allowed on the same plane, above a certain seniority level, only one per plane.
