It looks like it's pulling characters from the paragraph to generate the "unique" paragraph ID. ID = First letter from the first 3 words in the first sentence in the paragraph + First letter from the first 3 words in the last sentence in t

I overcome problems all the time by talking it out with someone--they don't even have to be a programmer. Just describing the process, what I'm trying to accomplish, the pieces of information involved, and the "why's" of each step can help

As a .NET developer who has yet to integrate regular unit testing into his work, I thought this article was too short to be useful. Some concrete examples would help.

They seemed to be concerned about the lack of security they were witnessing, and they also alluded to "this could be bad in the hands of a spammer". If this log is real, is it truly the conversation of those that took the data?

I think it's where the only submissions displayed are those submitted by users who have karma above a certain threshold (or where their account was created a long time ago, i.e. not new account submissions).

After hearing your interpretation, I realize that probably does make more sense within the context of the paragraph. But I certainly heard it the other way first. That's probably another good example of meaning being lost in text compared

> Google is a freakin' giant. I don't see how you compete with that, unless you are a large company like Microsoft. I agree with your statements here, but still, I think it's flawed thinking. Just because Google is big doesn't mean one

I thought the "interactive panorama" link in the article was neat. Had mouseover tooltips for each of the apps he had open, too. His "dashboard" is cool in a way, but also sad. Makes me think of some rumors (perhaps well-founded or even t

This comment made me think of the recent submission on geek behaviors in conversation: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1078529 . I liked that submission because I could easily identify with most of the behaviors in that list. I too o

Regarding the colors and un-linkability... why is that? To discourage lengthy "Ask HN" posts? While I appreciate the commenters who do it, I think it's kind of silly to have to comment a "clickable link" for HN submissions that need it. W

It can be a big shock to start living with someone else closely for the first time. Prepare to compromise. There will be several times when your roommate(s) gets on your nerves, and I found it best to step back, take a breath, look at sp

> This guy happens to be a damn good software engineer. I'd have to agree with that point. I think he pretty much single-handedly wrote LLBLGen Pro, an ORM solution for C# or VB.NET. My company uses it and I personally think it's real

Interesting, paying rent to his father... Other than the possibility where that could be interpreted as not trusting your partner, that sounds like a great idea from a "CYA" perspective. Of course, it could only really work if the relations
