One thing that I'm getting out of this article and which I tend to agree with, if a site isn't focused on a specific community the way HN or StackOverflow are, there is a tipping point at which its quality becomes inverse-proportional to th

You can't know that. Reading is highly dependent on your perception of the activity. If you were conditioned to believe that learning is something that happens mostly in a classroom, then you'll perceive a book as "1000 pages to go through"

For those like me who stumble upon this type of js expressions for the first time and are scratching their heads, John Resig (of jQuery fame) attempted some basic explanations in this old HN post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=115433

We live in the so called information age and everyday someone posts something like this on the web. Some road map to better educate yourself cheaper in x or y field. Ironically, governments throughout the world still struggle to find soluti

The sad thing is that "tech" journalism is amongst the least biased out there. I have come to hate watching the news (blogs included). Journalism has become a relentless quest to instill emotions rather than just inform. Blogs originally ap

Who exactly anointed facebook top dog on the web and how exactly was this measured? I keep seeing this claim floating around, but very little justification for it.

Thanks for this. One of my goals for 2011 is to get into network programming. At less than 1000 lines of code, I think I may just have to go through the source.

Lets say they paid their employees more, charged their clients less and then still gave something to charity. Someone would still be asking the same questions, "howcome they don't give more to employees and charge clients less?" Will there

Just because Yahoo's expectation$ weren't met doesn't mean delicious didn't live up to its potential. Many people got accustomed to use it as a search engine and it fulfilled its purpose quite nicely. Imagine if facebook couldn't figure out

It depends of your definition of cool. Microsoft still host some very cool projects and I think many programmers would be very happy to work on stuff such as Kinect, Bing and Seadragon to only name those. However, if you're talking about ge

Even though I find these language lists pointless, I can't resist opening a link with such a title (feeling ashamed and guilty). This is the third of the kind I've seen in the past 3 months. Oddly enough they all claim that ActionScript wil

Awesome entertainment. It felt like watching a scene from a dark movie, à la Tarantino. I'm sorta ashame to say that I'm even tempted to give some of those advices a try (not the killing and blowjob parts), even though I know this is probab

I hate to live in a time where such pieces still need to be written. Maybe someday it truly won't matter.

One common mistake when one tries to tackle the web is to do it all at once. What you need: - get familiar with HTML and css. That is, learn the basics, their purpose and how they interact. - get familiar with some basic JavaScript and how

This kind of rhetoric disturbs me. The burden doesn't lie with the scientific community, but rather the republican party. Science is not a movement, it's a set of practices that emphasize observation and empirical analysis to interpret the

Maybe it would be time to turn Nerd Communications back into Nerd Films. They could use the app to promote the comic. How ironic.

I'm currently working on a project that needs one specific library that I didn't have time to code myself and there's only one other guy on the entire interweb that built something similar, but the code is... Oh, the code is so craptacular.
