I would buy this -- its quite nice -- and repurpose it to something other then web design / development

Go deeper into both the original site and the competitors; they didn't just steal the front page.

Here's my question: Why is the stock down 5% on an announcement that beats estimates, and is a record for the company, along with positive guidance. I do not understand the markets as much as I thought I did.

So many datepickers out there ... and while choice is nice, why do so few of them include time (which is a pretty common use-case)?

There's no reason; its a personal choice. I use a Mac for development because its closer to our production environment then a PC would be, and because, for me personally, using *nix on the desktop is painful. If you prefer to work on Ubuntu

This is a very poorly written survey; you post on Hacker News and you make it very difficult for someone who does 100% technical hires (not unusual for this board) to fill out your survey. I just left one abandoned. If you're looking for in

Recommending AGAINST a strong password manager is pretty awful. Why wouldn't you want a solution that would let you use unique, strong passwords on each site you use? The idea that you could do so (unique, strong passwords per site) without

Retargeting adverts might not be bad -- most ad networks can serve ads to those who have already been to your site, which can draw them back

This is a very nice tool, although it should really have "include upfront amortization cost" checked by default, otherwise the "75% savings" for a 1-year heavy reserve is very misleading. I'd previously done the same on a spreadsheet but it

Building a form isn't a challenge. Its trivial. Most developers have stock CSS and validation they reuse from project to project, customizing as necessary. Services like wufoo and formstack are for non-technical users, not developers.

Okay, but c'mon its pretty funny for this site to pretend like Amazon did a post-mortem investigation and write up for them .

I understand thinness in a laptop being important - I take my laptop everywhere, and I appreciate when apple makes my 15" more easily carried about. But where is the benefit to a thinner desktop? Does it give off less heat? Does the thinnes

Interesting, at amazon's regular prices that works out to about $12/month in services they are giving away (assuming 3 year reserved servers), but they'd have to cram 34 clients on to a server. But now you're splitting 26 EC2 compute units

This thing is trash; speed reading involves learning to take in groups of words at once, not reading words one at a time. Perhaps the authors may want to learn about speed reading before attempting to write an app that promotes the skill.

The desktop app allows you to manage a few settings or buy more space; it doesn't allow you to store files without going to the cloud drive website. You also can't simply put things in a local folder, like dropbox. It feels like amazon is b

You missed a paragraph tag. And 'inspect element' in Chrome shows you the source.

Reading code is almost always (much) harder then writing it. Learning you way around the existing code base, and refactoring it if necessary is (almost) always a better option then rewriting it. In a rewrite you'll find your self relearning

I'm the total opposite of a server guy, but I think your tests may be in some way flawed. At work we have a site that got high traffic for a few months on a dedicated box @ softlayer -- and it keeled over, unable to handle the outgoing data

j3 is right -- developing web apps, 95% of the time, is a trade and not something that requires a four year CS degree. I've taken several people from scratch and taught them enough to be useful to me over a 4-5 month period; years later som

The PDFs on this page: http://www.fontshop.com/education/ will get you started ... Most of them are pretty good. "Erik Spiekermann’s Typo Tips" are some rules that you can apply to what you're doing almost immediately and see improvements

Try the Code Review StackExchange - this is hardly the right place for your post.

Maybe its a way for them to get small coding projects done for free :) Seems odd a company like facebook would use this to screen.

If someone can't figure out what it is in the first 30 seconds, they move on -- and that's being generous. The truth is probably more like 8 seconds. And in 30 seconds I have no clue what your project is, does, or what problem it solves. Oh

so ... you're using cancer to make a profit? This has got to be the most disgusting thing I've seen in a long time.

This sort of poll teeters on the edge of meaninglessness: you're only considering income and location. Experience and type of work matter, as does actual ability - and good luck polling on that. Company size is also a factor (actual ability

When's the last time you had to write a sort? Especially if you work in a scripting language like Ruby, Perl, or PHP -- I developed and now maintain three products that bring in my annual salary x8 or so ... and I couldn't write a sort from
