+1 for the suggestion. Just set up your wife/dad/mum as the owner of this startup and run it in that person's name.

The lxr link to the nginx source code is not working... Where could I find it?

Yes, I remember reading about this as well... Perhaps it does play a role whose 'share' hasn't been taken into account.

Heh heh heh... first thing that ran through my mind as I started reading the article and looked at the banner above it :)

Solid advice indeed. From what I have heard, the average Stern student is a jackass.

I think the writer is spot-on with his criticisms. Being involved with a startup is risky business. And the risk-return premium (since when did a visa become a reward ?) in the case of the startup visa is pathetic. Overall, this startup

How is this relevant to Hacker news?

I have been meaning to read this for a long time... Doesn't it say that there is something wrong with the scale of things in the first world (and point that out using energy consumption stats?)

I don't see why trading in patents is such a bad thing. Seeing that patents have a shelf life, why is this such a bad thing? I am amazed that a secondary market for patents was there... Myrhvold is showing us that it does... what's wrong

Ha ha ha... well then, storing passwords in the clear? who cares :-)

Hmm... if you are good at epoll/kqueue etc and know about the various I/O models supported by Linux. I think it takes time to gain that expertise.

Computer Networking, A systems approach. A great book. Highly recommended. http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Networks-Third-Approach-Netwo... Of course, one of the classics is this one: Internetworking with TCP/IP vol. 1. http://www.amazon.

We use godaddy in our company for email and webpage hosting. It's not been a great experience. Storing passwords in the clear sucks. Why would they do that, unless their audience is primarily 'non-technical' people?

Hmm... are you talking about the business side of things / the technical side? The question will be clearer if you are more specific on this point...

I think you are mistaken. We are starting to institute procedures, and the boss is very reasonable. He'll accept a solution in which the workflows are more natural. He has accepted procedures / choices that I have advocated in the past (wit

by rmk 17y ago
You are assuming that the employer doesn't care about improved workflows, and also that the employer has already evaluated git thoroughly. Ever considered that you might be wrong on both counts?

I've worked with Qt. It's great -- C++ and cumbersome build procedure notwithstanding. The API is also nice. Further, it works on embedded platforms too (think cellphones). There is a PyQt, but the last time I tried it, it wasn't as mature

How about the Linux Kernel? - Well-documented. - Always good to know. - Good, well-organised code. - Real-life C code.

hello, if you are in california, you have a way of measuring your interest in cs before you commit. i would suggest you take a course or two at a community college in your area. i know that there are many in the bay area that act as feeder

Outsourcing doesn't suck in all cases, which this article seems to imply. For example, I was maintaining cobol apps on a mainframe that were about 20 years old. Recently I read a news story that gov. payroll systems in California run enti
