Oh man, your wife is going to be pissed when she finds out you disintegrated her engagement ring for your little computer machine.

Thank you for trivializing a war my grandfather fought in and died. You should be ashamed of yourself. Just kidding. I'm still trying to figure out who Japan would be..

Most companies do endorse fluid working hours. It's just a balancing act between wanting everyone to be accessible when you need then and wanting employees to have flexibility in their schedules.

The end of the article was amazing. Nothing better than bitching about your work being stolen and then finding out that your communications director endorses the process by tipping off Gawker. Oh the irony..

I mean, technically it has meaning even without a restricted time frame. Some nonzero percentage of all businesses ever started have never failed. That being said, it's nothing like 20% so clearly there is an implicit time frame.

Did Slashdot actually beat HN to a story for once? My head just exploded.

I'm sorry, how is that the story of Mac vs. PC?

Let's play a game. It's called "don't link to sites which have popup balloons when you hover over links". Here's how you play..

While Python is always a safe choice, another strategy would be to investigate what the new programmer is trying to accomplish. Most people aren't like "I'm going to learn a programming language as an academic exercise!", they want to actu

I like how a hefty fraction of the algorithms use neural networks so that they get better as they watch humans play. The reason for this, of course, is that the developers just want a reason to play Mario :-)

My favorite Slashdot comment on this subject matter was: "Every developer wants to think of themselves like House, M.D. where if they left the company it would fall apart. In reality, everyone is replaceable and if you got hit by a bus tod

>> "When programmers develop 'for fun' we write documentation." That's because they get something out of it. Namely, people won't use undocumented software and the authors want their software to be used. In a corporate situation we

I was expecting this to be about digital signatures and was slightly disappointed when I found out it wasn't the case. Silly me for assuming a technical issue would be addressed on Hacker News.

"Since we’re spending so much time and money to promote this phrase, we just want to make sure someone doesn’t say we can’t use it." That seems like a reasonable argument. Also, IANAL but if I'm not mistaken just because somebody has a tra

I was going to read your article, but the picture of a blowup doll makes it hard to do so during work.

I am very pleased to see a legitimate post about hacking on Hacker News. Well played, sir. I have similar feelings about Detours. Microsoft Research is in their own little world sometimes.

I see they are using the alternate definition of the word "catch" meaning "did not catch". Interesting.

I think this is spot-on. From a student's perspective, taking notes in class in Word is the de facto standard at this point. The outlining mode is intuitive and efficient. Now let's say we were to replace this with MediaWiki. When I tab a
