   That's incorrect. Just because the audience is mostly white men does not mean that others aren't welcome or that they feel unwelcome. It just means that more white guys showed up that non-white guys. Reply to child: Now you'r

   So you're OK with white girls code, hispanic girls code, european girls code, etc?

   Actually, I feel the same about gender separations. And I think I used the term 'troubled' and not 'outraged.'

   Is anyone else troubled by this? "Black Girls CODE is an international non-profit organization with local chapters in San Francisco, Memphis, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, and New York. They teach girls of color (ages 7-17) to become th

   Yeah I clicked the link from the email update. Wonder if that exposes some kind of security flaw?

   Yep, that's my profile. Strange, I didn't even think I'd need to check it. I should've known better. Perhaps the mods can update the link?

   I posted this, not to rag on the guy for his mistake, but because many of us have been in this very same place, stuck in between multiple painful decisions. I'm also a backer and interested to see how creative the HN community can be i

   Just want to mention also that knowing the answers to these questions does not mean that you'll write bug-free code. Bugs are a product of shipping, and occur regardless of talent or ability to answer said questions.

    You're right that shipping !== good code, but I wouldn't be able to keep shipping the same product if it weren't somewhat valuable to my customers. The point isn't that I'm a unicorn, but that good developers can ex

    I'm a PHP/WordPress dev shipping product every single day, but I think I'd probably fail questions like these if I was asked in an interview setting. I don't really worry about functions like these until a need arises, a

    "While we have obtained some external funding, this mission may never happen without your help." I suppose I get it, but I thought Kickstarter campaigns required a deliverable end result as a result of contributions?

    I think the real reason people are frustrated with Amazon's announcement is because Amazon is getting/will get the credit for the drone delivery idea despite the fact that numerous hackers/engineers/companies have been w

    Surely the cost of military drones (and the personnel to operate them) is many magnitudes more than Amazon is willing or able to spend on delivery drones.

    TLDR; I turned down 5 million so that I could practically name the investor, get attention for my startup, and still make page 1 of HN. ---- I wonder how investors feel about posts like this. If you are an investor, would it change the way

    I find it appalling how quickly you turn to words like 'ignorant' and 'vilify' when all I've done is point out the obvious.

    I agree. I served 4+ years in the Army and was deployed as part of OEF. I'm uncomfortable with the automatic praise; it's definitely not why I signed up. However, given a choice I'd prefer that the scale remain tipped towards

    It's sad that the Armed Forces are now looked upon with disdain by hackers mere decades after the West wrested the world from Germany's grasp. Say what you want about the military industrial complex, but lets not forget that shoul

    I suppose it depends on who you are trying to please. If you are Twitter, it's a major loss. If you give a shit about bankers (most of us do not), then you win.

    Technically, it's not stealing, it's hacking the system. It would be one thing if they were using cracked or stolen accounts, but this is a legitimate loophole left open as a marketing tool.
