Given that Jason Baker just got out of school and is espousing a bold "I'm too smart for X" opinion (where X is, in this case, code comments), I'm not too inclined to pay much heed. His blog post is the #1 story on slashdot.org right now,

The description says you have five minutes to complete the task. So just move any ten coins to a new pile. Continue moving one coin at a time while asking if you have completed the task. You will have to move at most eighty coins after t

The headline does not do the article justice.

Isn't TechCrunch one of the first investors in UStream.tv, the competitor to Justin.tv with almost as many users and live streams? Why do they choose JTV to write about instead of the possibility that anybody could attempt to broadcast anyt

Let's do some quotes:... (then) Surely those Harvard MBA grads are correct. After all they don't give out those MBAs for nothing — you have to at least start a business yourself! Oh wait, you don't have to do that? Oh. None of those bl

Thanks for the reply. Small sample size leads to greater variance, naturally. Better samples with no location: The point is, changing programmer to engineer changes the rankings and salaries dramatically. pg called it noise. don't a

Like other users, I really, really wanted this submission to be accurate, because I am interested in salary information myself. However, that didn't stop me from questioning it. I've noticed that few submitters or commenters ever take a fe

Thanks. I hadn't seen this behavior for years so you have confirmed they still do it. Secondly, Google did not behave this way every time (in fact, rarely), so not noticing this in the new version doesn't mean Google no longer does this.

About 5 years ago, I noticed that links in my Google search results one day were being forwarded through Google before sending me off to the desired web site. I hypothesized that if I visited a search result, then clicked the back button v

If I remember correctly, a big change is that the pseudocode more closely resembles syntax of modern languages.

The founders are a practicing lawyer, a professor, and a recent graduate in American Studies. The remaining staff consists of a marketer, another lawyer, an economist, and a couple of MBA's. How well is this working out?

When I originally wrote the article, I was using the word stuff — but stuff is such a boring word. It's got a lag to it. Ditto other options, like things and work and product. Shit, on the other hand, is a very pointed, quick word. There

This is no longer true as of a year and a half ago. Another change in Massachusetts is that everybody must submit proof of health insurance with their tax return, or else pay a penalty.

This is likely a response to the recent announcement that Unity3D is now free to download and use for individuals as well as companies that make less than 100K per year.

I've sold shareware for 3 years, similar to what you and many other lone developers I know personally and online are doing (seems like mac, iPhone, and casual games.). The thing is, when a group of developers decide to band together to try

If you think it's easier, switch your idea. Everything is easy and obvious after the fact; e.g. The Pythogarean Theorem. For anything that can be easily explained in a few minutes of class or blog post, it took years for the brightest of

This is indeed a comparison of how book promotion works now versus then, told in magazine-friendly fictional story format. While the use of awkward phrasing could be pinned on the lack of proper terminology, much of it is obviously conceiv

Yes, looks like the .com turned off Whois privacy, and Dropbox does own it now (most Whois services still point to Domains by Proxy, including when I checked). But since Dropbox didn't have a comment for TechCrunch on why the domain pointed

If so, then News.com is very succesfully cybersquatting Hacker News, in the same way.

First, Dropbox has not commented on why Dropbox.com redirects to them, nor about their lawsuit of the domain owner. Therefore, this is a horrible news article, with an assumption that Dropbox holds an new ownership stake in the domain. Sec

Very misleading. Does not account for point inflation over the years (when a 15 point article or comment was equivalent to 230 points now.) There is not much one can infer from simply dividing points by days registered. Maybe we need to f
