I'm still learning about all the different tools and hadn't heard of Cursor. Thanks for sharing!

I've had premium subs with both and switched to Claude 3.5 Sonnet. I'm blown away by what it can do. Example for context: I'm a software dabbler so I can do basic stuff with frameworks like Django, but I'm definitely not

There's a price at which it's worth it and a price at which it's not. $10k? Sure. $200k? Nope. Now it's a matter of finding that inflection point. Do you have any scholarships? What percentage of the degree are you payin

Can't one argue that income from rental properties is more predictable than the income from full-time employment? In the former, there are binding contracts between the landlord and tenant that guarantee the landlord income (similar to

I think it's similar to people in the military who are given a gun and told to shoot someone they've never met. There are many people who believe what they're doing is for the good of their country and trust the people giving

You planned that using logic, but people's emotions don't react to logic. It's an emotion after all. I thought it was obtrusive as well and didn't realize how far into the article I was. The only thought I had was "

I do the same for breakfast, but I feel more comfortable doing so because most of those foods are regulated. I don't believe protein powder is, which is a little scary considering how often it's consumed. If Soylent is to be tre

If Soylent got popular enough, it would pretty much make my service obsolete. Don't count yourself out just yet. Some people will always prefer to eat real food.

There was a great post on HN by someone who was in your same shoes. She used Codecademy to get started. http://www.tiffany-young.com/website_progress.html

This is spam. I've noticed you promoting this site in multiple threads and have continued to bite my tongue because I admired the hustle, but I think this crosses the line. OP asked about learning to design websites, which suggests s&#

The advice given in other responses here is spot on - there are many avenues to learn development. But that's only part of the education that this program is offering. This looks like a CS + MBA program at a fraction of the cost. And t

I disagree. MS didn't explain the value prop well and weren't courageous enough to take a stand. If they wanted to get rid of discs, they should've done so. Discs and downloadable content are two completely different paradigm

In college, after we'd submit a programming assignment, our code was run through a program to test for plagiarism of another student's code. Can we run the same analysis on these announcements?

I still find it suspicious that the previous White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, left the White House to work at Facebook. I realize that statement implies that no one from government can go into the private sector without it suddenl

Bring a class to impoverished neighborhoods of Chicago where they just closed 50 public schools and the media will have a field day with your story. So many wins here: 1. Win for the community 2. Win for the kids who participate 3. Win for

This is a cool brain hack in that it uses math to convince you that you're not too old to become a master at something. One issue I have with the 10,000 hour rule in general is this: there are approximately 2,088 hours in a work-year not co

Just a data point from one person's experiences: I feel like check splitting is always a bigger problem for the restaurant/server than it is for the people paying. All the customers need to do is pull out a credit card. It's the server that

Interesting marketing term for what is traditionally known as a "customer".

It can be if those photos get you to make a reservation at one of the restaurants in OpenTable's network. Chances are you won't knowingly spam your friends to tell them to use OpenTable. Maybe you had a great experience with it and you post

The base model Kindle with ads. I take the train every day and using an iPad 2 to read is really inconvenient and invites theft. The Kindle fits in my coat pocket, is a delight to read with (sitting or standing), and no one wants to jump yo

Shape may not be directly related to performance, but I'd guess it's similar to the argument for the iPhone not having a removable battery (i.e. the housings and connectors required would restrict the size of the battery itself thus resulti

"Claiming something to be revolutionary while it's not" - This is simple marketing. A business needs to say something to differentiate itself from its competitors. "modifying standard connectors to remove your choices" - I'd argue they di

I've also thought about how self-driving cars will affect crime. If police don't have to enforce moving violations does that give them more time to patrol areas with higher crime OR do those departments shrink because of the lack of revenue

If you already know some JavaScript, Titanium ( http://www.appcelerator.com/ ) seems pretty interesting. It compiles down to the native language of iPhone and/or Android. I haven't used it extensively, though, and am curious what others thi

I'm still a student myself and won't pretend to know which is best, but I can share the resources I've been using. There are two great interactive courses on Udacity.com that will be helpful if you choose Python. The first course teaches yo

I'd guess that 37signals does at least 60 million a year in revenue from their main products (100,000 paying customers [1] times at least $50/mo avg). Sortfolio is such a tiny fraction of that, but still requires occasional attention (time
