If I were to write a trivial implementation from scratch then I would enjoy this type of question. If it is about writing code to interact with some specific Java messaging APIs then it's not a fair question to ask someone who doesn&#x

That last sentence is critical. I was skeptical when it went through and created a new submission. I should have searched.

My only interaction with twitter is through the weekly "Popular in your network" emails I get every few days. I actually do find them useful; I don't follow anyone extraneous and so the items are almost always directly relate

> We have reached Peak TED. > That’s TED. But we may not have hit the peak yet. We can have it both ways, it seems. Peak means there is a decline coming. The article closes on a note that suggests otherwise.

If you control the populace's view of the outside world then you can turn foreigners into anything you want them to be: monsters, war mongers, greedy capitalists intent on collapsing your economy and taking away the dream of prosperity

Reading a book about productivity would be... counterproductive. Looking through a categorized bullet list would be more helpful.

I was told, "You are not responsible for the happiness of others". It sounds like a selfish thing unless you are the type of person who feels responsible for the happiness of others. It changed my perspective and has made me happi

I'm a little bit spaced out right now, but I have no clue what it does after watching the video.

Meanwhile, people like me would love to be able to live in Bronxville or Scarsdale for the school systems. It makes no sense to live there when you have no school age children since you can move a few blocks away in one of the surrounding t

Agreed. You can derive any conclusion out of polling the right group of people. That said, OP did mention Facebook and Google specifically and it likely applies for companies of that variety.

That's the saddest thing I've read on HN in a long time. When did meritocracy go out the window?

>> We lead different lives, my friend...and both are OK... Absolutely and thank goodness for that variety. I was just putting up an explanation for why kids like playing in the rain and why adults typically do not.

As a child, you get wet and when you are done, someone changes you: an adult. There is no downside. As an adult, you get wet and you know someone has to change you: you. If you don't change into dry, warm clothes, then you know you wil

Thanks again. That cleared it right up for me.

I see. Thank you for that. I appreciate it. I guess it brought a few more questions to mind for me. As a customer of Palantir, am I responsible for creating the document parsers that understand the relationships between entities or is their

I might be the only one here who is ignorant on this topic, but... What's the general gist of what Palantir's software does? What's the input and what's the output?

Maybe set up a landing page to gauge interest? It really depends on how niche your target audience is. You could also pick one particular person/company in your niche and introduce yourself. This is hard, but it sounds like you will ha

I was in the same spot. I got a job doing consulting and let my degree lapse for a semester or more for a single history paper. The professor accepted my paper and I was able to graduate, but I regret having done it. I was offered a teachin

My advice is to be realistic about how much change you should handle all at once. You've been at this place 10 years so a job change alone would be a huge change for you, bring stress, uncertainty, doubts, regrets, etc. And you are goi

I interviewed a candidate who just could not pseudocode and talk at the same time. It was a little strange at first and I caught on to it and backed off to let him work on the task. It wasn't held against him. Everyone is not cut from

I was able to take a queen sized mattress down to my car by myself thanks to those side handles. I didn't have to drag it on the floor. Also, when I tied the mattress to the roof of my car, I looped the twine through and around the han

I wonder what the counter was at on their main page before this posting. All of the interleaving of people and their different companies makes it appear as if they are trying to obscure the true structure of their company and what it does.

If your co-workers are telling you that you are reinventing the wheel then you are likely not taking the time to understand the framework that has been developed over time. You are a junior dev. They hired you to invest in you and grow you.

Having seen the OP's personal site, I may have been a bit harsh. He could well have the tools to succeed and if he accepts this position for no pay then his employers are getting an absolute bargain. Shame on them if screw him over as

I apologize if the following comes off as harsh, but it comes from experience, not malice. Where can I find people like you who will work for free on the promise of future money dependent on a roll of the die which is funding? Please tell m

The general, fuzzy, "I don't like it" sentiment will keep you from trying many new things. I once had the same aversion towards Rails, but forced myself to try it. I learned a lot in the process. Give it a shot and see how yo

Yeah, I've heard quite a few interviews with Graham Hancock. I don't know if I can make the leap from a lost history to a lost space-faring history. I also can't make the further leap to "we will discover that space-fari
