Don't know about you, but my heart needs a charge every six hours and it goes in hibernation mode every 12 hours. Can I upgrade to yours? :-)

The title makes it sound like a Scientific American editor is a female writer that harasses people. "Aspiring female writer reveals that Scientific American Editor harassed her" is what you should have named this to be clear.

I really like how this manages to introduce some object-oriented principles stealthily while mostly focusing on linear logic. Great job!

The invitation flow is very roundabout (even if you sheepishly admit it :-)), and the group account invitation doesn't seem to work at first. I tried to authorize a third-party account (inside of an anonymous tab) three times and the i

The researcher set out to prove his own pet hypothesis, several of the experiments quoted are based on self-reported results (of "feeling warmer"?) and the whole thing seems wholly unquantifiable. People "felt loved" and

It's true based on what data, exactly?

> What did I say that isn't true? Actually, I was wrong. The terms incorrectly stated that past subscribers couldn't have access to the Free Weekend. That's what was untrue and has now been fixed.

We didn't plan for it but it's going to make for a perfect little refreshing break for people between courses and we're definitely going to have Netflix playing in the office while we work to keep everything running smoothly. I don't think

We try never to make assumptions that would exclude beginners in our intro courses. As someone already mentioned, it's easy to jump ahead if you already know that stuff. If someone isn't as familiar as you are with variables and we don't co

We meant "Code School newbs" as in people who haven't tried Code School before, not programming newbies.

You should receive a confirmation email soon, and you'll receive a link to access your Free Weekend next week when it starts.

That sounds like a bug. If you want to help us resolve this for you, reach out to support@codeschool.com with your account details and I can look at what happened. Otherwise, sorry to lose you on such a sour note.

That's a rather bold statement. We've helped quite a few people with prior programming experience learn new technologies and languages. It's certainly possible that you're too experienced for the levels of expertise we aim for. In that case

What you say simply isn't true. The Free Weekend is offered to all users (past or present) as long as they don't currently have a subscription to Code School. Time extensions aren't stated because this is a limited-time event. New Relic is

After trying to find follow-ups on this story I'm amazed at the fact that not a single news source I could find even bothered to do one. There seems to have a been a release from TSA citing 'inconsistencies' in Gross' story. They claimed ha

It's a terrible product that rusts and jams extremely easily, requiring a saw or bolt cutters. Good design is about more than ingenuity.

This article is not nearly as bad as it makes itself look at first. Speaking of appearances. Saying you're giving lousy advice isn't an excuse for giving lousy advice. > "I want to make my sites look attractive." Sure, but you should wo

I guess the title of this HN post does mention that it's a concept, so that part is in fact clear here. Not on the site.

"Lightbulb image by Svengraph. No affiliation with me or this project." Surprising at least, why are you using branding that doesn't belong to you? Is this a concept? A series of interesting mockups of a mockup app, or are these shots of a

This is a great point. But before you can make people work at understanding something, you have to make them realize that they have a stake in trying to learn. I don't think everyone (and certainly not myself) was able to understand the val

This is beginner-level content, which makes a lot of sense as a free resource. We're working on a Code School "Git Real" course for the end of July that will go much further than this and be at an intermediate level, just like most of the c

It's hard to know how well it works for non-developers until we've had hundreds of non-developers going through the course. Which should hopefully be happening now. I can't speak for GitHub (I'm from the Code School team that built this), b
