They're pretty annoying. If they want to get feedback, maybe make it prominent on the front page, but to have it right there on every single page - occasionally covering up other things - it's really obnoxious.

Yeah I'm pretty terrible on the phone, and I have over 5 years of professional experience (plus coding since I was about 15). So when I get to the part of the phone call where they ask computer science questions I haven't thought about in a

Could somebody help me out here - I was under the impression (and perhaps this is just the case for Canadian schools?) that you need a student number to register for courses. If you're not admitted to the school, how can you get a student

Yeah really, I was kinda hoping to read through some relevant posts, but it's just been taken over by a bunch of tards concentrating on his SWTOR comments.

I wonder how many more Armstrongs can show up on HN's front page? Maybe get something about Hellcat Records on here and we can have two Tim Armstrongs!

What's wrong with making the site region-based? Maybe don't discriminate by country, but certainly limit people to their own region/country. If people are looking for slave labour from India there's always Elance.

At the risk of getting downvoted like crazy, can somebody please explain to me the point of this blog post? It's just a couple of empty comparisons of Scala to lego/smartphones and C++/C#/Haskell to morse code.

I'm about 4 years out of school (no degree - 3 year diploma + some university). I'm a Canadian looking to go to SoCal preferably. I've been doing iPhone stuff for the past two years - mostly video/image post-processing with OpenGL. Start

Not usually. But I also don't use a whole lot of software to be paid for. I mean I pay for games and what not, but I do all my coding in stuff like Xcode that is free anyway. Stuff like Adobe Photoshop I have never paid for because it's w
