I don't have downvote power on here, but I think you should re-consider your comment - as it's snarky, doesn't add anything, and doesn't really follow the ethos of HN.

Sample set of one answer to your meta question: You could always just use a public gist, however I hope to never see the day where people have a problem on HN with a bunch of interesting code being posted.

A thought about this: Years ago I would have agreed, but now I'd strongly disagree, because of the noise it can add to diffs. When you're triaging a bug, or trying to figure out what effect someone's change had, you frequentl

Shouldn't the scrappy seed stage startup be hitting up Safeway and buying bread and cold cuts, pb&j, or...ramen, if it wants to be "scrappy"?

Would you truly prefer to go to a bank branch/human teller over an ATM for cash?

Let me put it this way - It's not that you can't absorb the two weeks loss without going into bankruptcy. It's the fact that for a "regular" employee, losing 1/26th of your yearly income may be something you&#x

You've GOT to be kidding me with this. "No surprises: Even worse than leaving is giving little or no notice. Then the company has to scramble to fill the immediate void. Although two weeks notice is standard, give more notice if y

What's awesome is how all of us can probably attribute similar life changes to various software discoveries. Though it's much weaker than saying "emacs influenced the massively adopted programming language I went on to write&

Serious question: How does something like this you perceive as hubris indicate that the end is coming?

Why not just put a comment on your profile that says you're not looking? This does cut down on the emails you get. You'll still get some, but I'm willing to bet you get an equal, if not greater amount of emails from various r

If it's been 8 years, it's about time :) ... Do yourself a favor, and learn the basics of pointers (might as well just read up on C), then move on to Go. Before you go down the route of buying a paper book, try the interactive tutorial on t

I haven't had a chance to read the article yet, as venturebeat seems to be down, however to your last point - I feel like to some extent, yes - and I sort of doubt it's a good thing. One of the founders where I work actually asked me why I

Pragmatism, and inertia. If you are in tech and in the Bay Area, you have access to talent, networking, if you are B2B - many potential customers. If you are having issues with mongodb and you wish to talk to the 10gen folks - in person - i

This might be the straw that actually makes me delete my Facebook account, and it's not because I think Facebook is trying to be malicious or doing anything wrong. I use FB maybe several times a week, as a time killer. Sometimes I may share

I think you're projecting a bit. FWIW I'm pushing 30, have worked on the East coast for finance as well as "in the valley", and generally fall on Yegge's "conservative" side of the spectrum. A lot of other commenters immediately jumped to t

What's the difference? We trust such data to be in all sorts of insecure places. Do you really think one of the low payed secretaries at a medical office isn't easily bribable? Or that every IT system your data eventually touches has Bruce

I've heard this argument time and time again in the context of various solutions/technologies. I still today feel that for 95% of the companies that "feel this way", it's simply the result of foolish paranoia among older, upper management.

Wow. So, I'm one of the least PC people you'll meet, and hoped that upon clicking through I'd be proved correct that the link was benign, in good jest, and conference safe. AYFKM? Big surprise OP is working for a daily deals company and not

You people are insane. Going out on a limb here, as I hate making my life public - I worked at Factset Research Systems for just about four years. They are a publicly traded company (FDS - NYSE). Guess what - They would allow precisely 0% o

Respectfully - Sites like yours ruin the internet. You admit it yourself: you produce no content of your own. I do NOT want to see results from pages of that ilk when I google for things. Google made the right choice to de-index it.

Sigh, these poll options seem to confirm to me just how myopic many HN and startup people are about the software world. Believe it or not, there is a LOT of software that gets written that either is not "web", or related to a startup. Addit

Not trolling, really, but - In America, what is the upside to buying an unlocked Nexus? AFAIK, my plan options will be the same price whether I have a contract or not, so really I'm just costing myself an extra $330 dollars. OK, so I get to
