I tend to go through phases of getting plenty and then getting none. Up until a couple of weeks ago I was getting 8 hours a night, steady but since then I've been back in the habit of only having 2 -5 hours per night, last night I got 3 hou

No - at my agency the design team works to a 12 column grid which makes responsive design a bunch easier, by "my grid" I mean our pre-built HTML/CSS in house framework for working with this Grid style. It's loosely based on Eddie Machado's

Lets say I am given a Fireworks .png or a .psd, the first thing I do is open it, flatten the image and open it alongside my browser for easy viewing. Then I look carefully for each "asset" I require, normally images unique to the page, thin

Don't mention it - your application seems pretty great, I wouldn't want to see it's grand opening on HN marred by recruiters and spammers. Also, make sure you plan for longer term - 1:1 engagement rarely scales with explosive growth. :)

I couldn't agree more, and to expand: what I've found so far on the path to finding a mentor is that initial contact is simply awkward and too much pressure is put on you in the first five minutes. Finding someone who you think "yeah, I cou

I think the most effective short term way would to to provide a tertiary recruiter type account and have users be able to opt in or out of messages. Some people who are actively seeking work would be able to get the content they were afte

An ironic message considering it was written on a platform which doesn't support IE6 or IE7.

I don't have the issue, could be a local DNS issue or just your computer being funky.

42 Floors is a Y Combinator funded company and as such is allowed to post job listings on here for the HN crowd to peruse. Considering that we use this site for free (unless you count the fact that we ARE the content) it's a small price to

If you're a capable developer, and by this I mean not just coding but being able to push out an addictive, enjoyable application, why not release the full app for free, then ask for payments for an expansion, essentially an in app purchase

I sent in my request a few minutes after this went live, still waiting. :( They must have a huge spike in requests to go through, plus the people completing sets 1 and 2. I would expect waiting times to drop as fewer people complete the adv

I did not know you could do that, I always assumed it was full bitcoins, in that case I rescind my original answer due to ignorance. Thanks. :)

It's great to see a company doing something like this and getting involved in the community this way, I took Dan Boneh's class on Cryptography some time last year so I've sent these guys an email and I will see what I can manage.

Don't take my comment to be against the idea, it's great to be honest, I'm simply not the target market - however there are quite a few more wealthy, entrepreneur and silicon valley types on here who wouldn't miss a few hundred dollars in t

I'm not sure if I would use it to be honest, I barely have money for myself, it seems it would be foolish to give it away to other people, even for an outstanding post. The only occasion I could think of where I would consider it would be i

It doesn't make it any less relevant, people post Wikipedia pages, irrelevant news stories meant to make you "awww" on here, etc, at least this not only provides technical insight but is also relevant to the normal content on HN.

If you're like me and read comments before you read the post, then I urge you to take a look at this how-to. Not only is it well written and informative but it makes fairly complicated concepts easy to understand. If you like the idea of wr

This article raises several fairly depth-less points, as a frequent user of an anonymous (but tech related) Tumblr blog I feel fairly confident in giving a short analysis of one of the key points it misses: The first thing I tend to notice

It's only a gamble to a certain extent, for instance, even if her company fails, it's likely to happen in the next 2 or three years, that leaves another 7 or 8 years where she will require employment in order survive. Judging by her charact

I couldn't agree more - as another person with Aspbergers I feel that this article tried to fit us in to the broken genius pattern, rather than recognize that these kind of syndromes manifest themselves differently in every person. I am in

No, I'm current split though, I mainly use shanea93@ho[]tmai`l.co.uk, but it feels impersonal when I email people, I'm thinking of swapping over to me@shane[]armstro`ng.co.uk (a domain I own.)

This being said, I would like to point out that I also made light of violent, sexual abuse in prison in the grandparent post - I deserve the downvotes too.
