I think a hammer would be sufficient in that case as well, unless of course your opponent brings the gun.

The data I've seen shows the income where happiness flattens is around 100k rather than 70k so cutting off at 128k doesn't seem high enough to disprove the established research.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. It's common to do internships in grad school & it's common for people to do grad school in their 30s. Also be assured the expectations will be different & you will have

How does this kind of stuff get voted up? He's clever, but ultimately just doing a lot of complaining about his co-workers.

I had a similar experience with a well known bay area company. I was interviewing for a front end job and they gave me a live coding interview with a recursion question about assembling trees from strings (or maybe vice versa). I had spent

Thanks this helps a lot, the HN page made it sound like a satire to me as well.

It seems like you're correct in this case. Or at the very least there is no evidence for their implication that the protesters were black Oakland residents. That said, let's not allow laziness on the part of the reporter who filed

Let's be real. Some of the nerds are also hipsters.

If you are a regular vim user the keybindings in Sublime vintage mode aren't anywhere near adequate. It's more like a cute quirk than a real feature.

Great point. I missed the tabs at the very top, there's a lot more information density here than I first realized. The errors in the multiple query case are worrisome.

In the past I've noticed posters on HN picking on Rails by lazily linking to these benchmarks but click over to the average latency tab and Rails looks pretty solid with an average response latency of 1.8 ms, which is not at the very t

My experience working 80 hour weeks wasn't with startups, it was with political campaigns where I made far less money and there was obviously no equity. Similar situation though, get idealistic 20-somethings recently out of college wit

I watched the video of him describing the app, and it seems as though he'd have trouble with a job interview. Is that just my impression? Do you disagree?

On one hand this is great, on the other, what does this guy do now? How does this help him? I imagine this helps his self esteem, which is a good thing and a meaningful non-tangible benefit. But it's not as though he can go get a job n

I have one of those awful people as a client right now. We spent hours with a truly fantastic marketer (and I don't throw that kind of praise around lightly, especially in marketing), who not only helped us identify great copy, but als

I want to float a different hypothesis: the perception of programming is so hung up on the idea of individual brilliance that most people, especially beginners, don't even realize how much value there is in reading the manual. And we a

Possibly but that does nothing to assuage the concern that entries were only seriously considered if you had an inside connect at Salesforce, which is what it looks like when the winners have close ties to the contest holders and many entra

This is really disappointing. You would hope after reading the letter Lee takes responsibility for his employees and/or contractors and pays the original designer for his work since the work was in circulation promoting his film.
