Like a minimalist mixture of the old DOS games Star Flight and Star Fleet. Brought back some nostalgia.

Yes, this comment is more inline with what's going on. It has little to do with protecting people from harassment, it's about trying to make reddit more appealing for advertisers and imgur more appealing for a buyer.

I think that already exists, you can go for "computer programming" in various technical schools.

Whoa whoa. Consulting isn't the answer. There are plenty of opportunities in both private and public sector on awesome teams with amazing management.

I think that without a lengthy disclaimer the author is misrepresenting his opinion to novices as being some sort of guide where you can choose your path from level 0 to 1 to 2 for rows in the table and that somehow you will become a good p

That is a highly debated matrix as evidenced here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4626695 Personally I don't see much value in telling someone they need high-level CS studies to be a good programmer. How does kn

Thanks for this, I went away for a week and didn't know this sub-thread took off so much and felt bad for not responding.

When you say you were anxious and holding to the side of the cliff with fingernails, were you also particularly busy? I ask because I can recall several times in both school and career when I was much more productive because I had to be d

You and all the research seems to agree. Of course, the anecdotal evidence outliers will disagree, but I don't see how there's a debate anymore when you look at productivity.

Not sure if submitter is the author but I think "queues" should be "cues" in the second sentence of the Be A Chameleon paragraph.

The big difference is you don't mind when Apple does things like this. If you have "Hey, Siri" enabled then your phone's microphone is on all the time listening to everything you say. But I don't see a lot of peop

This post reminds me of the good old days of the attrition.org mirror, not sure how it's relevant for HN though.

I applaud your efforts for hiring for talent, but you aren't making a fair discussion of the issue. Of course you can select for talent when you're a small company and you are doing all the hiring yourself. But as others have po

This is cool tech but I wonder about the efficiency claims. Depending upon how the HVAC system is designed, where vents are located and where return air is located, you could cause the HVAC system to run less efficiently if you alter the a

I currently live in Colorado and judging by the 3000 people that showed up the the Denver DrupalCon, you should be able to find work here.

I've been told by some of our devs here that there are more Drupal jobs than Drupal developers if that's your kind of thing.

We covered this in my CS courses as well. I feel bad if anyone comes out of a CS program and isn't exposed to the Therac-25 incident even if superficially.

I hear this kind of stuff every day on the radio and other news sources living in Colorado. Here are some things to consider: 1) Only the revenue is really important to the politicians - there has been virtually no talk about using the mone

I'm starting to wonder when people are going to stop trying to "fix" email. Email is amazing at what it was designed to do and doesn't actually need fixing. The way it is abused in your/my/most organizations

It isn't unreasonable that people are curious for more information, but whether or not they are paying customers is irrelevant. Just because you (in general) pay and I do not, does not grant you some right to have your questions answe

It wasn't the case of any individual feature of iTunes or the iPod, it was that iTunes and the iPod were the killer feature. If you were to have looked at the landscape at that time for MP3 players, there was nothing even remotely lik

If you were a temporary worker through Kelly Services you probably won't have much recourse. I temped in my twenties and I don't think there's much you can do. You are a Kelly employee, not an employee of the host company,

Based upon the thoughtless drivel that I see spewed across Twitter, I don't see how it could be considered political activism of any sort. It takes no effort and no risk to shout something on Twitter.

No, you're wrong. "man" is the obvious abbreviation for "manual" when trying to reduce the number of characters used. Not once as a teenager learning unix shell commands did gender (or cultural stereotypes) enter

I've been trying to use Dan Pink's ideas on motivation for a while now, it was good to hear someone at his level mention them. Hadn't watched the video in a while, thanks for linking it.
