"Why should a programmer that is twice as fast as his peers only get 10% or 20% more?" <-- Amdahl's law applies here. It really depends on the industry. Take finance. Having a programmer who can spit out code ten tiems as fast as his

What is the point is this? Sorry for asking, but you are either curious about how much everyone else is making or trying to value yourself in the market. If you are curious about how much everyone else is making, stop. Just stop. It won'

The same arguments about how apple products are not conspicuous consumption can be applied to gucci and bugatti. If you get a real pair of gucci shoes from the store (not from the department stores), you really feel like you are walking on

I'm not arguing about bloomberg the terminal. I and many of my other friends in trading have had conversations with really chatty Bloomberg reps who wantonly leak information. In particular one rep mentioned by name that I was a customer

Bloomberg in general is terrible. From the financial side, they leak information to others, so the rule of thumb is to never talk to them unless you are absolutely desperate to raise monies.

Prima facie, there's no reason to believe that groupon was unprofitable. And since there's no legal obligation to release their financials, we were left to trust Groupon's numbers. That being said, the amount of money taken off the table w

(on a side note: would be cool if HN had a SO-style notification system which would tell me when someone replies ...) I think I have a solid understanding of both models and how to work with each, but as far as syntax goes I'm fairly ambiva

I took that to mean that the objective-C community as a whole is not obsessed with the gang of four. Though, to be fair, my exposure to the community is limited to AP CS AB (why they decided to use java is beyond me ...)

Why don't you expand upon this and your other comments into a full-blown defense of objective C? for the record: My preference for Smalltalk-style messaging over Simula-style objects is largely historical (having been exposed to the former

You have to think about it from the author's perspective. Many authors are not interested in the minutiae of the process, and the publisher serves as a single point for the author. There's no need to deal with a separate person for market
