Because a not-insignificant-enough number of "smart" hacker news folks got very burned by a get rich quick scheme and they won't let it go. Snake oil and charlatans? There's an app for that. The cognitive dissonance is m

It's never easier to blitz through interviews and ramp on new tech than if you've seen most/all of it before. We're just figuring out where the old abstractions land and the syntactic sugar has made life easier. There is

You don't curate a resume. They need to be tailored to the position you are applying for. Blanketing won't yield happiness or wealth. Be selective, then optimize. What do you really want to do? (and are demonstrably capable of doi

Mono is independent from Xamarin. It would stay that way and I doubt Miguel & Nat would let is flounder. It's the basis upon which this who story is based. Mono has its own devs and community.

I am pretty sure there are already mechanisms for the rich to buy US citizenship. EB-5. Secure funding for your start-up, boom you're a US citizen as soon as you invest in jobs, etc. in the US. The rich have their ways. What if YC sele

First world problems. Get an aeropress or french press for coffee. Get rid of your TV (that will take out another 3-4 devices most likely). Get rid of your watch. There... now you are UI-defragged and you make better coffee.

tl;dr Instead of increasing bandwidth (since human CPU's aren't following Moore's law), burden writers with improving value per word. Please read faster so I can be less elegant?? How about you stop with 1000 word pieces that

Midnight UTC is zero's all the way down. Seems false to me, but I'm from the land of C. This seems to be in line with some low level hardware or common assembly practice across many languages. Everyone is talking higher echelons o

Smoke your meat, my friends. A cross-sectional study of this type of data will yield crappy, linkbait-friendly results. For confounders, they didn't look at: income, geography, genetics (self-reported ethnicity is not a good proxy), et

This is great for when you pop up a pay wall. You can shake all the content behind the pay wall message to enhance the focus. When someone makes a mistake, I like to pick it up and shake it in their face. This has a soothing effect.
