Oh god, people actually do this? I kind of feel pity for people who create companies with "creating t-shirts" being their end goal... unless they are a clothing company. I just think in your case, it would help and its silly not to do it on

If you wear a tutorspree t-shirt everyday, people will ask you about it, friends will ask to wear them, and employees will wear them to work. You can get t-shirts made for less than 10 bucks each, hell you can make them yourselves with a pr

100% with you on this. The vast majority of twitter users are in it for the promotion. Kids don't need to promote themselves to those outside of their core group of friends/school. That's one of the reasons I think Twitter took off with mor

Guys, isn't this just another sorting problem? Aren't you just relying on the thread scheduler to sort them?

I definitely agree. That's why I'm interesting in figuring out what exactly that value is, and at what point it's noise. Certain people are adamant supporters of some causes and couldn't care less for others, so it's interesting to play aro

One of the main differentiators of price for Apple products is the disk size -- in fact, for iPads and iPods, its the main differentiator. They want to push to all of your devices, because they want you to use up your storage and pay the $1

I built a hack during the hackathon at Disrupt and was shocked to see that even though we were in New York, there were very similar traffic numbers from California (Disrupt was using an ISP in New Jersey so I am summing NY and NJ).

I believe he's speaking about the curator of HackerNewsTips, who from the last few tweets, sounds like he might be the GitHub employee who had to deal with the wrath of Zed.

I find it strange that our team came in 5th place in the hackathon, and yet they choose not to post our presentation nor our interview. They posted the other winners + more. Our hack was kind of a joke, http://venturecrapital.us , but it m

I've never been through either of them, but the stylistic differences highlighted in the article very much so reminded me of the difference in style between "Do More Faster: Techstars" and "Hackers and Painters." IMHO Hackers and Painters i

It takes time and lots of bandwidth -- it's a serious commitment compared to using something like Grooveshark, Spotify, or if Apple is allowed to do it: by scanning your iTunes Library xml file and automatically permissioning you to play yo

As someone who has put together a cloud music player/site, I can assure you that uploading is by far the biggest deterrent from people using the service. In fact, out of my large music library, I only have a couple thousand songs of my own

I've noticed some serious interest from a guy at Barclays in New York to start something along these lines. He's been showing up at the NY Machine Learning Meetups talking about it. Not sure if it's for the bank, or for his own thing though

I recently went to a Google Tech Talk on MongoDB, and although the presentation wasn't very hacker oriented, I must say the setup of replication sets and sharding is ridiculously easy ( http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Simple+Initial+Sha

After starting to read a bunch of objective C, I have to say there are some constructs that are very nice compared to an OO language like java -- for example, selectors and the target action design pattern. There's definitely some nice dyna

I got the top of the line MacBook Air. It was my first Apple product ever. After tax was 1900 ish, which I do admit is super expensive. It does everything I need, and is SUPER portable -- I can carry it like a piece of paper. Everything is

I was just approved for an H1B for next October, and received a bit more 25% raise after the immigration lawyers had already finished all the paperwork. I highly doubt they refactored it. It's likely that some of these are just estimates, a

I was inspired by the other post I saw yesterday and decided to make my own, but without flash. The goal is so that when my iPad finally arrives I can play it on there! You can fork on github if you'd like: http://github.com/dmitric/automa

Starting working on a JS version so I can use it on an iPad. It's pretty rough right now, but on its way. Need to add in the html5 audio and more complete collision detection. http://www.zmitri.com/static/automataJS.html

I just bought the first edition! Either way, this is an excellent book so far. It is written with a level of clarity and conciseness that makes it stand out from other resources on networking.
