Who says all those immigrants are going to be high-end google-worthy engineers? The chances are in favor that they would drive down the pay of the first quartile of programmers based on quality, not the savants making 100k+/y.

My guess is that they're not doing a multi-faceted strategy, and are doing these acquisitions to buy some expensive(but good) talent. There's a lot of bad stigma associated with yahoo, so it's possible they have a serious brain drain proble

How is that an indie title? It's published by sega and is being produced by Double Fine, a well established developer that has 50+ employees.

>How open are nintendo to indies? Absolutely not at all. The only way for joe schmoe indie developer to make games for a nintendo platform is to crack the console and make homebrew games that only work on other cracked consoles. edit: l

I'd be absolutely mortified if I was a Microsoft employee. Microsoft's monopoly on desktop PCs may become worthless in the near future as the average consumer realizes they can do everything on a tablet and not have to bother with "slow and

Because there's no cerebral solution to that problem short of going out there and making yourself look like an idiot until you don't looks like an idiot anymore.

Working, solving problems. Days where I can work on my side projects for the entire day without being interrupted are like a gift from god. I hate being around people because it comes down to either just sitting there and listening to other

I hate it when these things pop up because they turn problems into self-fulling prophecies. I hate being around my mother. I've never had a relationship with a girl in my entire life. I drown my sorrows into a mug of beer every friday. I ba

Impressive introduction to bezier curves. I still remember my first exposure to them; I was looking for a way to model a ship hull without making a full blown 3d-editor. After a bit of googling I found the article on bezier curves and spent

As far as I'm concerned, letting a bunch of people you don't know moderate the pages that constitute the face of your website is as bad as no moderation at all. Just because there's an implicit agreement that subreddit moderators need to ob

>You know what? Humans, especially during times of crisis and confusion, speculate. They do it offline and, in 2013, they increasingly do it online. The fact of the matter is that one of the Boston suspects (later revealed to be Dzhokha

If I was you, I would probably pick up some hardware and do EE projects. I absolutely love electronics and hardware, but can't afford to buy any of the equipment involved so I saturate my free time with programming. College is like a horrib

Joe schmoe doesn't really care. What this speech would target is people who were borderline between a STEM field and something like law or finance. There's a lot of brain muscle that's on the fence on whether they should choose STEM or choo

What really bugs me about Mars how much of a political opportunity it is for a president to reverse the economic and scientific atrophy that plauges the US. One of the big factors in economic recovery is morale - if people don't have faith

I dunno about software architects, but it's not terribly surprising that people are defensive over the engineering title. The difference in difficulty between computer science courses and the engineering courses is like night and day, so it

This feels like one of the most "in your face" scams I've seen in awhile. The first thing I wanted to find out when I visited the site is where they got their funding - of course that section is absent from the site. The second thing I look

Why is it even possible for this to happen? Did someone really think it was a bright idea to provide an API to access people's personal data, and if so, why doesn't the phone tell them that before letting them install the app? On top of all

How is it unnecessary? Someone is using their female significant other's gender to promote their product. Just having his girlfriend make a video explaining his startup wouldn't be an issue - but having her make that video, then submitting

It looks like either reddit has discovered HN, or someone figured out that injecting "girlfriend" into article titles garners loads of votes for reasons beyond my comprehension. It's pretty pathetic how effective of a baiting tactic it is,

I think what's even more horrifying that isn't mentioned in the article is how many services use email as a form of user authentication. If you lose access to your gmail account, you also lose access to changing your password on any service

Earplugs don't actually block out a whole lot of noise. For example, if I wear my earplugs in the library, it'll completely muffle the sound of people whispering around me, but I'll still be able to hear the oblivious jock talking at full v

It seems that Sony has picked up on one of Microsoft's big weaknesses - they're horrible at actually delivering good products. Indie developers are .much. more opinionated than AAA developers can afford to be, so when Microsoft shits on ind
