I'm surprised there are no comments here, this is the best thing I've seen on HN in a while.

Yes! This is this tool I've been dreaming of too! I would pay a lot of money for something like this.

Nice. I've been thinking a lot about writing a interactive blog series of something similar (music fundamentals for CS people). It'll probably be a while before I start writing that though. I think the biggest thing that's mi

I also live in Isla Vista, and can confirm that this is exactly what happens. When freshman move in, the first few weeks are filled with crashes. Also, every time there is an event that draws lots of out-of-towners (Freshman Orientation, Ha

I was just talking about this paper with a coworker on Friday. One of the best parts about this code is its initial implementation in Quake III. The comments are especially funny. It's on Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org

Reread the comment you replied to. He/She is talking specifically about the act of commenting.

Right I'm aware of that. I just thought it was an interesting parallel. Locke based his works off of the physics known at the time (Newton, etc). His theories were later definitely refuted by advancements in physics. Though it wasn&#x2

In the time of Empiricism, the philosophers George Berkeley and John Locke proposed something similar. I believe it was called it immaterialism, or the idea that nothing exists without being perceived. Berkeley went further saying that obje

Refresh on the syntax, read up on some Java specific stuff ( like geeksforgeeks.org/Java), and check out "Effective Java" - http://uet.vnu.edu.vn/~chauttm/e-books/java/Effective.Java.2... . See

You're not wrong, but I wouldn't separate the two. The reason Google can have the #1 advertising platform is because it runs the #1 search engine. Search powers personalized advertisements, and is responsible for most of the money

I've been using DuckDuckGo as my main search engine for about a year now. It is good enough for me in most cases. For the times it isn't, I use Google. I think there is a large amount of value in both of options 1 and 2. To me, th

At the moment, this thread seems more like a YouTube comment section than a HN one. Though it's not exactly surprising given that Tim Cook's speech is obviously aimed at Google/FB. Let's start with the facts. Apple makes

MIT OpenCourseWare has been a great tool for me as an undergrad. Since the start of year, I've watched the CS and Econ uploads concurrently with the courses I've taken. It's not that the lectures are better, but getting a sec

It makes you sound insecure. You don't have to rip other people's work to legitimize your own. That's just childish. I believe YC is the best as well, but I still respect what the others are doing.
