Why the hostility? So many people on the Internet seem to have this urgent need to 'react' to every piece of information that is fed to them. The author presents her points in a thoughtful and well-articulated manner--why not exte

Everything the guy did just screams amateur. The first issue is posting information about a deal before a contract has been signed. However, I'd argue that the bigger issue is the $40 price tag that was slapped onto the iTunes upload

Where Microsoft and Valve differ is that, while Valve's Steam service is known for its quality of service, Microsoft is known for shutting products down whenever they decide they're no longer in the interest of the company. Oh, ri

A weather app is really a 3-hour project; a rudimentary exercise in retrieving and parsing some kind of structured data. To say that any part of this supposed app was "hard work" is disingenuous. Furthermore, the concept of photor

I won't point out just how much is wrong with the excerpt that OP has quoted (because HN is a gender-troll breeding ground unworthy of my time), but you should definitely research gender-based descrimination. It will make you a better

There's nothing insulting about having a mental illness. However, having such blatant disregard for others' feelings and established societal norms can land you in jail. While you may be incapable of empathy on your own, therapy can help yo

My problem is more with employers who demand that potential employees "pay their dues" before being allowed into an industry. It favors privileged people who can be supported by some other person while they're working for free. Also, requir

People keep throwing McDonald's around as if it's some kind of horrible, dead-end place to work. The truth is that McDonald's will not only pay you, but will teach you a ton about customer service, food safety, work ethic, and team building

No. If I want byte code, I'll use Java or a native app. This idea that a web browser should be an operating-system-in-a-box-over-http needs to stop. JavaScript is not a bad language. If you're getting caught up in gotchas and 'quirky' behav
