I've only identified about 4 UCLA HNers, one of which tried to do an LA meetup without much success http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=804191

Ha, I actually went out to grab a paper because I recalled seeing this too. Those ads were for Student Media which I guess Daily Bruin is a part of. It advertised "pay competitive with any on campus." As for other other jobs on campus, I sa

Where did you find 1.5% - 2.5%? My federal Stafford loan interest rates are at 5.6% (down from 6.8% when I first started college).

I just checked out Diigo and it looks pretty cool. It lets you annotate, share, and search your archived bookmarks which as far as I can tell, Pinboard doesn't do. On the other hand, Diigo only stores the HTML (like wget) and a screenshot,

On a sort of similar note, I've been looking for active developers to follow on Twitter that regularly tweet about programming-related matters. I like to hear about how their project is progressing, or what the like/hate/learned about a cer

Thank you! This is actually quite interesting since it's a meta-conversation about Etherpad, and Aaron of Etherpad includes this: "Edits to the document are represented as mathematical functions that can be applied in any order, and have ot

I have never used Etherpad, and from the comments I'm a little saddened to find that now I can't check it out. Does anyone have an old Etherpad that I can play with, or even just a video of how it's used?

Ah sorry, that's what I meant to type too. But I'm still interested to know what you thought of the room.

by stjarnljuset 17y ago
Hmm, I'm a little surprised to hear that (that messes bother women more than men). What was your reaction to reading the "geek room" described? Edit: fixed comparison

Yes, but this isn't your mess, this is someone else's mess.

I had a pretty immediate negative reaction when I just read about the room described. Now, I'm trying to figure out why I had this reaction. I think the room communicates an environment of obsessive and messy people, and that really isn't t

I learned about polyphasic sleep a couple years back, and came across stevepavlina's blog posts about his experience. I want to try it (just for the heck of it, and to see if it fits my lifestyle better) sometime in my life. If you happen t

"The device has modes for both ‘power naps’ (which last around 30 minutes)" I'm guessing polyphasic sleepers can use this, but no idea if they provide support specifically for polyphasic sleepers. Just curious, are you a polyphasic sleeper?

"Duck It builds on the core idea of Duck Duck Go that search results improve when you get useful, readable content in addition to links." I don't understand the difference between "Duck It" and "Duck Duck Go"

"they" as in Engine Yard? Promote Ruby development? Get publicity from #wa-ste if it trends, and get publicity anyways for running such an odd contest? I think the concept of using Twitter messages to create an app is hilarious and fascinat

I needed a while to get used to the colorful interface, but I like that it includes favicons. I don't think it would replace Google search for me, but since I found it to turn up good results, and it had "Add to Chrome" links everywhere, I

yay! I had mentioned in the survey that I wanted to see how their "experiment" had fared, but it would've been nice to see how well the game sold pre-birthday sale. I'm reading the "Other" section for why people chose their amount to donate

I'm not an iPhone user, but I clicked on this (the comments, not the iTunes link) because I wanted to know about the app, how it looks, what features it provides, how a fellow HN reader envisioned a piece of software, despite the fact that

It's good to know that there are alternative ways to embed PDFs, but I'm a little confused by the reaction in the comments. Is this a big improvement over simply using the object tag? http://blog.flashcolony.com/?p=244
