Regarding Facebook hook-ups -- I get a LOT of FB friend requests from people I haven't met who usually share a few mutual friends. This is how FB is used as a dating service, from my experience. Also, some people create profiles specificall

It is important to be around people who want badly to succeed, not people who have dreams but no work ethic. There are more of the latter than the former, in both startups AND acting. Also keep in mind that actors move to LA because there i

I generally agree with you, but your post seems misplaced -- the article isn't about losing weight or building muscle. Instead, it's simply about getting out of your chair and maintaining a minimal level of fitness. It is geared toward sede

Perhaps nowadays kids progress: HTML -> JavaScript -> PHP? What is missing from programming languages nowadays is a really easy way to do graphics and games. But at least HTML and JS give you fast feedback, where each line you write

Could you elaborate more on what will distinguish techstartu.ps from HN? At first glance, they seem similar.

You're assuming that you can find a programmer who is very self-motivated, cares about your project, and is willing to obsess over it (and is paid accordingly). In the real world, giving even an above average freelance coder a vapid spec wi

You're telling the papers to: (1) Get rid of their largest revenue stream (advertising), and (2) Increase spending (more reporters). How does that work?

Does he buy en masse, then claim that he ate for $1/day even though he has an inordinate amount of leftovers? I don't understand how he can possibly have 32 boxes of cereal (among other things) at the end. I've never seen a box for less tha

Still, answering ANY salary range question with "... or you can start a business" is such a refreshing outlook! Certainly not one I was exposed to in 7th grade.

What matters is whether you place yourself in a culture that seems fair (or whatever attribute you enjoy). I surround myself with people who I admire and want to learn from. Sure, if your friends are always down on their luck and miserable,

The video introducing Dreamweaver's new "HTML5 Pack" extension ironically only showcases its CSS3 capabilities: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adc-presents/introducing-the-dream... According to Wikipedia, the colloquial use of "HTML5" actually

Beyond money, there are a few opportunities here. For example, maybe the author would see about letting you post his guide to your software on your site. This would be advertising for his book and a learning tool for your users. Second, you

The key at a university is that it will provide you resources to do whatever you want to do ... you just need to ask and show passion, because 99% of the students won't. Most people think that it is a very formal structure, but they will of

The article missed perhaps the easiest way to surmise if someone is gay on Facebook -- mutual friends. If you both are gay, you probably have the same gay mutual friends. Ever since I started adding gay people, I started getting friend requ

I bet it has to do with our psychological willingness to pay more for a cold drink on a hot day.

New York City scores second highest here, but in actuality only ~27% of people have a college degree (US average: ~24%). In San Francisco (the highest score here) a whopping ~43% have a college degree!

HN can't become like FarmVille. The key element to FarmVille (and games like WoW) is -- you level up not due to skill, but by how long you play the game. In other words, a very skilled player will level up just as quickly as an unskilled on

I wrote 'thrown out' because the statement is "A && B;" -- the result is unused due to the terminating semicolon.

This does not respond to the issue raised in the article. In all of jlongster's examples, the result of the '&&' operator is being used. So, someone reading the code can mentally consider the '&&'s to be logical operators. H

I disagree -- it probably is not immediately understood by most programmers. The main flaw of the technique is that the author uses the '&&' not as a logical operator (the intuitive use) but as a conditional operator. '&&' i

It seems to me that their FAQ tries to get around the question of what happens if a project isn't completed. Specifically, it says the project manager is "expected" to cancel funding. Otherwise, it might lead to "damage to your reputation"

They warn about Java, yet their two most popular languages are Delphi and Visual Basic? Are those taught in universities at all !?
