Really cool tool. Congratulations and great job! Look forward to seeing where this goes. Feedback: the rerun project button is hard to locate and not prominent. I wanted to rerun the project after making some changes. I felt encouraged to s

I talked to someone at the archive. He said a few people are aware of this, including people involved with the way back machine. It might be hard for them because video content in general doesn't save well, especially if it's host

You might be right. I read it as the YouTube URLs won't be altered / made inaccessible. Your reading may be correct - I'm not sure!

Thanks DoJ. This will definitely make it a little harder for people to access high quality, free content online. URLs of the videos won't be removed: "Individual video URLs (links) will remain unchanged." http://ne

Aha is such a tool - some PMs swear by it. It seems ok. It's super expensive.

The support engineering role can vary from organization to organization. In a support role, you probably won't grow all your coding skills as fast as if you worked full-time developing. You will get good at debugging and some other asp

Five steps: 1) Read good writing, especially in the genre in which you want to write. 2) Write first drafts. I prefer to think of it as vomiting words to a page. 3) Edit. Ultimately, this is what will make the writing good. 4) Get good feed

Could you give more insight onto these types of companies? Employees, industries, products, revenue/profit, everything. They sound interesting.

'TED is propaganda. Propaganda of high form.' Could you elaborate on what you mean here? E.g. propaganda trying to convince people what?

I'm no lover of LinedIn, and I bet they do some shady thing. As to your second email address, I wonder if it's someone trying to 'connect' to you input it. LinkedIn asks for an e-mail address of the person you want to co

The social aspect makes coding more fun. And getting away from your keyboard is great. What you're describing to me sounds like informal code review, a high level walkthroughs of what your code does and what choices you made and why. I

I'm not sure where you're getting that from. I've read a lot of data, eg the link below, that shows that engineers do very well, but aren't the top major. With that in mind, it's not as if all students from all majo

Consider a professional that helps people get organized. A house cleaner can help you with some of these, like how often to dust or vacuum. A professional organizer (that you work well with) could help you with more of them, like creating s

"I like my job but feel like I could be making more elsewhere." Most likely you can be making more elsewhere. You're not a spoiled brat, you just need to figure out what's important for you right now and get in an enviro

Check into your posture. It's good you have an elevated monitor, and it's worth looking into the ergonomics of your whole setup (and general life). Old thread about RSI https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1269951

Definitely a hard problem. I'd say spend more than 1-3 hours of time with the person. Definitely figure out the culture, or the culture you want to create. Culture fit is not just do I like this person (you need to at the very least r

I'm not sure about any programs targeted at college students. Maybe that would be a good niche. I would definitely look into internships through your school, and directly with companies, in web development/ software. This is one p

Keep a running log of anything that seems missing or any problem you encounter. Extend it to people you are close to, family, friends, colleagues, people you admire. Keep this somewhere you can access easily and from everywhere, like Everno

Interesting take! I think there's a lot of truth in what you're saying. In N Out started in 1948 (not too long after McDonalds, and not too far from it, either, in Southern California). Shake Shack started in 2004. http:/&#x
