Your implying that self taught developers are unable to comprehend basic parts of computer science is really an over generalization, I and many of my co-workers are self taught and we often find that graduates, whilst being intelligent and

I couldn't agree more, we stand constantly at the start of new things, in another 70 years, we will be so far past where we are now that to the people of those times it will seem as though we were as backwards as the people of 1948 seemed t

First of all, practice makes perfect, throw yourself in to a project, even if the task seems childish and inane, get yourself in to the routine of regularly churning out code and you will become a much better developer. One thing you will f

I couldn't agree more, my grandad has Alzheimer's and he often forgets that my grandma is dead and says he wants to see her, we have given up trying to explain to him what's happened as it always causes heart ache for everyone so now people

The only real issue I have with them using this method is whether or not Microsoft will then have a legal obligation to report the downloading of any software which could in the future become illegal, I'm thinking packages like Tor whcih ca

In my job, my boss expects everything to be fantstic, for him 'good' simply won't do and he tells me so every day, but occasionally you have to push something which is merely 'good'. It can be a downer, but when I do 'fantastic' I know I've

I agree, I believe it would be best if everyone paid the same cost, then no one could say it was unfair. Although I'm sure that someone else would be in the position I am complaining about it, so maybe I should just accept that for now at l

Fair enough, but in the same way, these people are in a much better position than me and yet get this benefit which I don't, yet I'm also forced to pay taxes.

One of my friends spent some time in California this year interning with Google and he said that while public transport around California was bearable, when he spent some time in New York he found it completely useless. One of the qualms I

by shanelja 14y ago
I can attest to that, I live in the UK, public transport in the north is okay but far from optimal. I wish I could afford my own transport, but my low paying tech job (I'm a 4 year self taught junior developer at a small web development com

A second look through the images and I agree, almost every picture of a woman is focused on her bottom, with the exception of one at the bottom which is focused instead on the bosom.

It looks it, I'm a self confessed nerd who lives things like this, any upcoming events?

by shanelja 14y ago
Even so, when I attend these events I go more for the people than the speakers etc, I would bet the people who went still enjoyed themselves.

I don't think we need encrypted passwords hints, perhaps obfuscation would be a better method, my computer password hint is "$1 -> thy 448o2" which seems to be vague enough for only me to be able to reasonably understand it. The problem

I couldn't agree more, I know that once I've read all of HN (which is really to say the first 5 or 6 pages of top stories and new) I tend to head over to Reddit or chat to someone on Skype or Facebook. My day seems to be divided between min

Thanks for the recommendation, mind telling me what the site is all about? EDIT: Can't reply to you so I +1'd you instead, thanks for a great answer :)

I'm getting a 502 bad gateway, has being on the front page crashed the site?

by shanelja 14y ago
I often wondered if there was an alternative to HN, for when it goes down unexpectedly or I want a change of scenery, but I haven't as yet found a suitable site.

At this moment in time, App.net is a service which I can't afford, an expensive girlfriend and a little sister who is dependent on me forces me to have to save my money very carefully, which is fine, because I don't mind advertisements too

I couldn't agree more, I waste countless potential working hours 'learning' on HN that if this site closed down, I would probably cure cancer, invent "the new X" and single handedly save the world in the first week with the spare time I wou

I'm not sure you are correct, I began teaching my little sister the most basic forms of programming a few months ago, she's 9 and now she can easily form and use arrays, functions, database loops and simple OOP. She isn't anywhere near what
