I have to sadly agree. An earlier article talking about the erosion of privacy was met with more "what's the big deal" commenting than I am comfortable with in an environment such as HN. For me, it illustrated a direction i

I had the same thought -- " yet another writing by someone who's advice is 'do what I did' without any consideration beyond their own limited experience". This is especially frustrating when it comes from someone

I'm a big supporter of Mozilla and everything they do and stand for, but I think the way this is explained leaves people (including myself) thinking "why would I want to do that?" The promotional video uses a lot of flowery

I'll use them for data passing within a class. The calling method needs multiple values of differing types and I can't personally justify creating a class just to encapsulate those values for a call or two. So I tuple. But that

I was playing with it for a bit and came across a few issues, but can't seem to find a support or contact link. Where would you like such information sent?

I've yet to realize a benefit from using a realtor, three houses in. My last transaction was done without realtors. Both parties did their research, we ensured all legalities were covered, and the whole thing was done for $30k less t

It does help; thank you for the peek behind the curtain. I've always avoided outgoing, extroverted women because I thought that the intro/extro combination could never possibly work. I'm not about to jump up in front of suc

Like the OP, I find myself often wondering how people met, how they clicked, how they keep it going. With you describing your wife as very introverted, fearing interaction with new people (I could describe myself the same way) and describi

Work with or are competent at? :) For the last 8 or so years, the jobs have been C#/.Net. Before that, Delphi. Before that, C and C++ (quite a while ago). There's also been a touch of Ruby, a couple days of PHP, and an odd smattering of

I guess what I meant is I see a lot of guys in the group who are younger (20-25) with more senior guys trying to "form" them into what they feel is a "good" developer. I've been around long enough to have developed my own ideas, and while

A desire for entrepreneurship? Definitely. But I don't have any side projects or ideas that I feel would be unique enough or adopted well enough in an open market. They're great toys for me, but my girlfriend just doesn't understand them

I feared that that may be the fact of the matter. Not that I need sexy in my daily life, but something that offered the chance to grow would be nice. That's not been an easy find in the larger companies.

I'm not one to put stock into the myriad of psychological conditions that people seem to carry around like badges ("Look at me, I'm ADD!"), so I followed your link with a dismissal at the ready. Then I read something in there that was clos

I don't think you understand the problem. I suffer from the same social problems that the OP does and if it were as simple as just saying something intelligent or funny, we would do it. But it's not that simple; you can't think of anythi
