Much and truly thanks for providing some thoughtful feedback. As someone who personally felt the pain from the juror perspective, I actually had no idea about the pains felt by court administrators. The courts we've been working with i

Does anyone feel more reticent than usual to chime in on these threads despite this being one of the most provocative topics on HN? Asking for a friend...

That feels a bit like the "I have nothing to hide argument." Should we just accept that probably spammers no longer send address verifying emails, and tacitly approve this change helping them out if they do? Ultimately, the defaul

Yea, it's hard to not think this is ultimately not a great move. It seems rather shortsighted from a Gmail user's perspective if Google can't address concerns over spammers being able to verify email addresses, or even just a

I really dislike combining the notions of project and product management as if they are synonymous. It's like saying a developer and a designer are the same thing. That's wrong. The skills sets, discipline, and day in and day out activities

I have been wanting to write a much more ranty version of the OP for a really long time. Yes, there are and always will be bad managers out in the world. But it makes me laugh when the immediate reaction people have is to just get rid of al

Let's be honest here... Nearly everyone who is passionate about one platform or another lives in some kind of glass house. Why does Arment feel it's necessary to throw stones like this? I realize some are reading this as a more "balanced" p

For me, while it's absolutely no surprise, it's still quite depressing the clear lobbying that is/will occur to trample this project. As others have said, the cost seems quite realistic and I would put my money on the 8-person having a muc

The original post was on 2012-09-21 and still no resolution. Not to mention, as others have pointed out, it's for a cert that expired several months ago. But this link is public acknowledgement of the issue and it's still unresolved as of

Very nice improvements. If you haven't already gone through these multiple times, I literally soaked in these last night: http://www.slideshare.net/techdude/how-to-kill-mysql-perform... http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Top10SQLPerformanceTips

Yea, that's exactly what he did. He actually says he worked there for a few weeks. Total interview attention whoring in my book. "Oh, I made millions, then immediately connected with with real people by working the grind at McDonald's." BS.

This is very frightening news. Even if I did want this feature at all (I don't), I would still be extremely concerned that some site that I might wind up on will capture any personally identifiable about me when I really don't want them too

On my netbook, I have a multi-touch trackpad, so a 2-finger tap does the trick as well. Even with the "target=_blank" I'd probably still do a middle-click/2-finger tap to have the new tab open in the background. That way, I can quickly scan

If you haven't already you need to check out the StockTwits community. They tend to be more traders (short term) than investors (longer term), but a lot of their discipline and decision making process will apply regardless of the time frame

Don't discount what you can learn from working for "the man" as a programmer. Pay attention to what's happening on the business side of things. Ask questions, show interest that you want to know more. If you ultimately want to have your own

Well, on the flip side, he also writes about managers as if they are all stamped out from the same cookie cutter mold. As a former hacker/engineer now manager, I generally thought this way off on both sides of the fence. And I laugh at the
