Kept me a the Rand quote. Do you actually dislike the quote or just Rand in general? If you disliked the quote, I would like to know what you disagreed with. If the latter, I would have to say that ignoring everything someone has ever said

Earlier this year I visited U of Illinois and sat in with a group of seniors who were working on a homework problem. I printed off the homework problem for myself but was not able to solve it since I had just learned about Big O notation i

While I agree that it is annoying, a law is not the way to fix that. It's also very useful, as it connects the viewers with more information. I don't think anything would convince news outlets to stop since it drives up their website traffi

Is it at all similar to the Ubuntu netbook interface? I always liked that. Now I'm using Gnome 3, which I'm happy with.

I just took a look at it and was considering buying it. Does it have any sort of cross-computer or cloud synchronization? Or is that how Snipt is different?

That is pretty exciting. I moved to App Engine from EC2 because I didn't want to spend that much time managing the stack. I'm going to go try Heroku now.

Yes, I saw that a week ago and signed up for an invite. People seem to be happy with it from what I've seen on StackOverflow and other sites.

Are there any drawbacks to this? I've been looking for a "Heroku for Django" for a few months and I just started using Google App Engine to get some of what I want. I'll go ahead and try this if it works well.

The laptop's return was the culmination of a one-man crusade of online sleuthing, social networking and moments of voyeuristic creepiness aided by the software called Hidden. This appears to be the software that got the j

This is great. I've been waiting for a while to see some sort of good desktop UI that got away from the classic icons + sidebar widgets design. While this provides the same functionality, it gives the user a lot more information at a glan

I know it isn't exactly what you are suggesting, but I intend to double major in Math and CS and possibly get a minor in Italian.

I just graduated, and am also going into Computer Science. I just pulled up a list of top CS schools and started researching from there. I ended up applying to MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, Caltech, U of Illinois UC, U of Michigan, and a few o

Droid Sans Mono makes for a great programming font. It’s got a bit of flair, and stands out among the other monospace fonts I’ve listed, and its only real flaw is the lack of a slashed zero. I use Droid Sans Mono with slashed

As a high school student (well, graduate tomorrow!) who is interested in designing mobile applications, I would really be interested in reading about your experience building this app. Not only the design and code, but the release and laun

Suggesting that a cleaner/simpler syntax should be used doesn't mean he wants to code in Ruby/Python. They have plenty of their own flaws. He just admires their syntax since it is very readable.

I did when I say it on April 1st. I have a family member that hates them and we almost always have to go to 2D movies because of it. Now I can drag him to a 3D movie!

I have the opposite problem. I have too much time and nothing to work on. I just have "idea block". Whenever I do come up with something good, I google it and it is already there with a better design and a head start. Where do you get t

I'd like to see them raid every single Bitcoin user worldwide, which is how I think it would have to happen in order to shut it down. Actually, they would probably only need to raid a substantial amount (maybe half?) in order to control the

A lot of the time I will go to hacker news and quickly scan article titles for something interesting. While I know the mods try to change titles to be more descriptive, some things are just ambiguous. Right now there is an article called "A

the suggestions are really nice, but can you eventually link to tutorials for those of us who need a bit of help? For example, under "Minify CSS", you could say: "Need help? Here's a CSS compression tool."
