I use a single tab for indentation, and too much exposure to Java and the Eclipse default indentation size (4 spaces per tab) made me used to it. I also find it easier to look at python code indented by 4 spaces per tab. Since I also tend t

Thanks a lot for all the replies. Some more info: If you give a founder (or early employee) more than they're going to be worth in the long term, you'll feel increasingly motivated to fire them and recover their un-vested stock. If you giv

This comes at a curious time for me. Just recently a startup didn't start at all, because I and the other would-be co-founder couldn't agree on how to split the equity. Can someone enlighten me please: is a 50/50 split reasonable for 2 foun

Very true. Indeed, I switched from Firefox to Chrome after Firefox hanged yet again with N tabs open, and I just couldn't figure which one it was and simply close that one. On chrome this never happened, and I never had to restart the brows

I don't post very often on HN, but I like to recall my little story. So I was around 6 and we had a 386 at home, with DOS. I knew the very basics to "cd" into a "dir", and type the dir name again to start the program. Of course this didn't

The pattern detects if a number N is not prime by searching for A and B such that N = A*B. The (11+?) searches for A bigger than 1, and the repetition of this group (the \1+ part) repeats A as much as possible, eventually B times. If an exa

How about increasing the price as the stock diminishes, then return it to the "regular" price as stock catches up? Another idea: instead of starting at $50, start at, say, $80 and boost the perceived value of the product too. Some people wi

How about the following: whenever a user down votes a comment, a popup comes up describing the community rules for downvotes (e.g. "don't down vote just because you disagree", etc). After having been shown this box a couple of times it coul

Recently I compared Portugal's GDP with the revenue of a couple of companies. A workforce of 5.52 million from a population of 10.71 million produces around $244.64 billion; Microsoft, Apple and Google combined employ around 148 thousand

I can't help but feel curious about the "shit" that was deleted. It's not cool to just have a [dead] remark; could there be a better solution to remove the noise, yet allow curious people to find out what are the replies referring to?

In the postscript he mentions: [...] Well, actually, it could be made smaller. When Linux starts up a new executable, one of the things it does is zero out the accumulator (as well as most of the other registers). Taking advantage of this
