1. Signed up, tried to create a blog called "test" - nothing happens. 2. Trying again - nothing. 3. Probably occupied already I think and try with "testing" - some red-letter angry error. 4. Changing URL to Brytter.com, clicking on "my blog

How experienced a programmer do you have to be in order to apply? I'm a CompSci student and coded some CRUD apps for my startup (Clojure and Python), but I'm not a open source contributor, nor am I active as a contributor on Github or SO.

Indeed it's not evidence to the contrary. How about leaving the question open until proper research has been done? The fact that there are anecdotal reports of people sleeping polyphasically should at the very least hint at the possibility

In any case, I forgot to set my alarm tonight and woke up after exactly three hours, wham. Anybody trying to adjust to a new sleep schedule would need an alarm for some months to stay on track; that by itself doesn’t mean you’re constantly

This again? As mentioned in those HN threads, it has been rebutted: http://www.puredoxyk.com/index.php/2006/11/01/an-attack-on-p... Fact is there's not a ton of evidence for it not working out. There has been virtually zero research on

Are you kidding me? She's an undergraduate. Presumably she chose the best school she could get into. It's not graduate studies.

You wallet is linked up to your iPhone which auto-tweets once the wallet is emptied. Jokes aside, if you have daily contact with someone and they don't answer your calls / don't show up, you know where to look.

Pardon me, but who says Wikileaks are dead? Seems to me OP is the only one who does, and then he makes a big deal out of how Julian Assange behaved "badly". How about making a big deal of the financial blockade instead? If any Wikileaks-cop

I use a Chromebook and its crosh to ssh into a Linode instance with tmux for web development. Works like a charm, apart from the lack of UTF-8 in chrosh.

What about lag? I find sometimes on bad connections that tmux lags quite a bit (in Sweden, sever in UK). How do you deal with this? Surely packet loss and latency must've been a bigger problem a decade ago.

If the main topic of conversation you have with your friends is not how you can better yourself, you need to get new friends. Or, put another way, if you prefer to read fiction and non-personal non-fiction rather than self-help books you

The article didn't do much for me, but this comment did. What you write about rings very true in my experience of writing papers and having arguments without a clear goal. One of the better HN comments I've read for a while.

I don't think redefining established terms like doing stuff in order to suit your argument is going to get you much karma here on HN.

Really? Care to give an example on the second one? Sounds like a lot of hand-waving to me. Obviously, if no one finds out about what you did, no one will know about you. If you're doing something truly extraordinary an old diary, some not

4clojure is great: - It starts very gentle but progresses quite rapidly. - The problems are small and geared towards idiomatic functional programming, which is why I found it more useful than projecteuler for learning Clojure. - There's als

The (negative) "picky flag" says more about you or the company that you represent than the person applying. Being picky about your tools and what you produce should be a positive sign. It shows that you care. It doesn't say anything about h
