Read his book, Hackers and Painters. I don't think he's under appreciated. He was way ahead of the curve. And deserves to be happy with his family, or change the world some more..

My SO brought me to a planning meeting for a non-profit, and I met their founder there. We hit it off, and founded a startup together several months later when the time was right. I think it was good to start off being friends first. And ha

The RJ Metrics founders Bob and Jake gave a really great talk sharing their seven year journey Monday night. Lots of good lean startup lessons, and they just raised a $16.5 million series B. The full video is at the bottom of the article.

My favorite is Simplpost: http://simplpost.com/blog/what-is-this-thing/ It's not a command line tool, but it makes nice responsive static sites. And it's easy enough for my girlfriend to use. That's

I couldn't agree more. In fact, this is why I started building a project for my girlfriend so she could create her own site. And now it's grown into something powerful that I really enjoy using too. http://simplpost.c

I have been using a single 30" monitor as my main display since 2005. I love it. Only problem is having to adjust whenever working on another system (also been using it with a standing desk since 2008). I split the screen space up into co

Yes, it's the clicky mechanical switches that make this keyboard so nice. I don't know of any other keyboard that has these in a nice modern package. The sleek black look and USB hub are just icing on top.

I've been really happy with my Das Keyboard Professional. I've been using it as my main keyboard since it was first released about 15 months ago. http://www.daskeyboard.com/daskeyboard_original_professional... The only downside is the $1

We already have one of sorts: http://startups.philadelphia.groupomatic.com/ It was started by another Hacker News member, epi0Bauqu. It started up a few months ago from a post here, and we meet up once a month.

Off the top of my head: It's the 6th largest city in the US, and it's the birthplace of the country (lots of culture and history). Most of the buildings are well over 100 years old (great architecture and craftsmanship is commonplace). R

I'm a sane person that's happy to live in the middle of Philly. It's a great city, even though it's got some downsides. I never understand people that have such a totally negative view of the city. I much prefer living here overall, vers

Yes, some taxes and costs are higher, but I like living and working in a big city instead of the suburbs. There's a lot of incentives for businesses moving into the city now. Property taxes are insanely low here (a fraction of surrounding

Philly has some issues, but it's much better than it used to be. It's a huge city. There's a lot of growth in some great areas. You get a lot for your money here. Many compare the current state of the city to NYC in the 80's. There's l

Gmail is great, but why would you ever rely on a 3rd party for a main form of business communication? I like having my own servers, but I build in lots of redundancy, so that I'm covered. No matter what happens.

I use both. You don't have to choose just one. Having your own email server gives you lots of options.

I've been using a 30" (2560x1600) monitor for over a year and I'll never go back to anything smaller. I only like laptops for traveling. You do have to take into consideration the other screen sizes and resolutions when designing. But yo

Is there something like this anywhere in the US? This sounds really great, but I've never heard of anything like it outside of a university..
