I like Foursquare explore because everyone in my office uses it. If I want some overpriced, whole-grain, organic and unprocessed artisanal foods that will leave me feeling like I can punch through cinder blocks, I look for places that Stev

what a sad attack. A browser will only issue six simultaneous http requests per domain, so you have a per-user concurrency ceiling of six. The only thing they're proving is that the DOJ website was built by disinterested consultants and d

if you want to use only one technology, then tooling made specifically for that technology is helpful.

How can the messaging be improved? How can it be made more compelling to resonate more with laypeople? The major social networks could protest by temporarily disabling the profiles of politicians that support SOPA. Might be a good precur

on Bloomberg you called us [tech nerds] job creators, and said "more government isn't the solution". Please, for the love of god, run for office.

to work on something larger scale as a team oh right, I left this out: we had a period in batch[1] where we all did team work. A number of Hacker Schoolers contributed to the async Python web framework, Brubeck ( http://brubeck.io/ ), wh

I was in batch[1] and wrote a startup simultaneously in my non-HS time. One day I did a little work on it during HS hours and it was something of an open secret; we didn't talk about it, but we all knew it was happening, and it was clear t

clone of hn or reddit ah ok, I understand. Yes, that's totally something we would do. Cloning, rewriting in a new language, or forking would be appropriate. It wouldn't make much sense to clone Reddit because it's already open source,

I was in batch[1] and worked on the back end of a startup simultaneously, but not while on HS time. Having had the experience, I wouldn't recommend HS if you're more interested in startups than you are in programming. The goals are comple

We've had couple people hold down substantial client work (more on the order of 20-30 hours a week, I think) I was typically able to get in 20-24 hours a week while in HS batch[1], so it is possible to do HS and client work at the same

I was in batch[1] and worked while doing HS. The plan was to work two days a week, but it quickly turned into two days a week for 10 hours plus some time in the evening after HS and some time on Sundays. But after 3 months, I learned two

even if Processing 2.0 does make perfect use of the GPU that distinction only covers the render phase. Calculating collisions for a large number of objects will still be significantly faster in C++. So like nearly every situation in softw

well to be honest that client library was written to address the shortcomings of the previous Python library, which didn't support Recurly.js (arguably the best part of Recurly), but the new Python client library does and my library wasn't

I wrote my own Python client for Recurly API v1 that I released a few days ago ( http://pypi.python.org/pypi/recurlib ) and asked them, last week, if I had their permission to release it publicly, not because I technically needed it but as

Make authoring my own client in my own language straightforward. If you say "see our reference implementation in [some programming language I'm not using]" I'll be very, very irate. This is the kind of thing I'm talking about: http://doc

Well... I really think that's a reason why having this on a weekend is good; I don't want to hear from a hiring manager or HR person. Those are the people that are already flooding my LinkedIn account with offers for soul-crushing position

Have you played a Zynga game? In Zynga games, you cannot complete the core objectives without recruiting other people to play the game or by paying money. Zynga's products are pyramid schemes masquerading as games.
