I got to go to a "gifted school" in 6th and 7th grade. The biggest difference was that I didn't have to worry about my physical safety there. It's a lot easier to focus on spelling when you aren't worried about gett

This echoes some of my own experiences. Python (even CPython) waits on the network just as fast as Go (or anything else). I've had good luck writing applications in Python, then profiling them and implementing critical sections that a

This is pretty terrible news. It would have been need to see LastPass get acquired by a company like AWS but LogMeIn doesn't really have the reputation required to ask people to trust them with all their passwords. Also, the valuation

I wasn't trying to discredit the project. I think the project is neat and I wanted to see what other people on HN would say about GvR's comment.

This project looks completely misguided. The talk focused on the trivialities of mapping Python to C++ rather than on the interesting problems to be encountered when trying to optimize Python while maintaining its extremely dynamic semanti

This sounds like a fairly idealized vision of what working in medicine is like. I have heard doctors say the same sort of thing about being a software developer. Is the grass really greener?

The issue in this case is that the defendants haven't even been convicted of a crime, which is why everyone is worried. Based on this ruling you need only be accused of a crime for the government to seize your assets. If prosecutors

I think the laws are different depending on the state but most of those overly broad agreements are not enforceable. Usually it has to be something that you could have only created with proprietary knowledge gained from your employer or acc

I started a b2b SaaS company while employed and quit when we got our first paying customers. I always built software in my off hours for fun, but when I decided to try and solve other people's problems I realized it could be a busines

How does Ghost generate pages for web crawlers? This has always been my hesitation about this sort of platform. Does it pre-render static pages? Or is everything rendered on the server in NodeJS?

I don’t think having three years of runway is realistic for most people. Based on that logic, unless you are independently wealthy or someone is willing to fund your “ideas”, you have no business trying to do a start up. Most investors laug
