I worked on this hard in college. It was partially the "People age out of it..." that others mentioned... but there was one intentional step I did. I said yes. I made a decision in my sophmore year of college to say yes. Whenever

I didn't verify that he had an MIS degree... but MIS is definitely not the same thing as Computer Science or Engineering. If this is true it's a fairly disingenuous and manipulative article.

IANAL. I believe that protected classes in the US aren't identifying things such as, "You can't discriminate against a woman". Rather, what they say is, "You can't discriminate based on anything related to gend

I'm with you - But in the US I believe this depends on the state. The "To catch a predator" show was specifically done in areas where the law included "intent" as a crime, rather than the actual crime IIRC.

As a child I was diagnosed and took Ritalin for a while. My parents didn't like the way it altered my behavior. However, they then tried coffee twice a day - Breakfast and Lunch (I was in 2nd or 3rd grade). The coffee worked well. Ente

I'm actually thinking this is either "Kinect" on a tablet and/or eye tracking. The application specifically talks about additional sensors. being used to build apps. I'm not sure head tracking is a strong use case f

Question on those 6 weeks. I've heard before that some countries include national holidays in there 5-6 week count. Is that the case here? Generally when Americans are listing their vacation days they are not including what they view a

I feel like anything like that has to be predicated on not being able to find any book. Which is certainly possible, but I feel like $DISASTER will probably leave behind some libraries and books somewhere. The people would just have to be d

I agree, but that's the very definition of non practical. It doesn't work for 90% of the population. I feel like we should be searching, driving, for solutions that solve everyone's issue not use our issue. We are, for lack

This doesn't show a full appreciation for gmail's timing. Prior to gmail I had 4 (5?) different email addresses I moved through with different services. For lots of folks my age (~30) these email addresses we had predating gmail d

I responded with something similar above. This was my understanding of the various laws (For some / most states).

But... Isn't this why it's legal for "Topless sunbathing photo of celebrity" to show up in the enquirer? They were topless in a public area (Sunbathing on a boat, for instance) and a photographer snapped a photo? I'

Serious question. If you consent today to let me take pictures of you nude... Don't I own the copyright of those pictures? Now, presumably if you and I were dating your consent would be very casual... I'd say, "Hey, mind if I

I like that he is totally cool with switching back to business class. He is just confused that they're freaking out over the extra 50$ a month. That 50$ a month isn't covering the difference between himself and the average consume

I feel like I repeat this anec-Data every time one of these posts comes up. This is all fine and good, but I've never worked at a SW company (8 years now) nor had a friend work in a SW company that wasn't constantly hiring. The co

I'd say that if you copied 10 common "small" - "utility" apps that have already been done to death and worked hard on moving them up in search rankings and whatnot you could make ~ 100$ a day.

by tseabrooks 13y ago
There is a question of what constitutes a "small" app. For my purposes I'll assume small is - "can be made in a month @ half time". I know someone making a decent salary on about 8-10 of these types of apps. they va

Ah BEEP. I had a grad school project to create a domain specific modeling language that allowed you to diagram the steps for communication and between to systems using BEEP. You'd define the order of messages and the content of the mes

I can't help but notice that you self identify as "jsmeaton" on HN. The name you didn't like, or choose, initially. What happens over time to change how we perceive ourselves?

It's a bit more complicated than this. I think you start hitting on the reality towards the end but get detoured by racism in the beginning. It's all about tribal identification. I don't mean tribes in the historical sense bu

I know it's a bit silly but the thing that jumped out about your comment and the parent comment is the butter. You butter a hame and cheese sandwich? Is this a cultural thing I'm not familiar with? zooms off to google to check

I made it to the robot full of prerecorded videos before my eyebrow went up and alarms and whistles went off in my brain. I'd hope that is the furthest anyone would have to go to se the absurdity. I'd be interested if anyone made

Using C++ professionally for a while now (College, grad school, embedded sw) the best two complete IDEs I've found are SlickEdit (Cross platform) and Visual studio. If you've not tried SlickEdit I definitely suggest it (They have

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Every coding job I've ever been in has ben "Always hiring". We just can't find enough people worth hiring. We have been small groups, not pursuing H1-B visas or anything

Watch the first couple of videos.. It's pretty clever and cool. Doesn't look like it'll be fat friendly. All that aside, let's pretend like we're responsible adults for a second. The video, especially the end of the

What can you tell us about the quality of life for prisoners in TDCJ? Where is the line between giving prisoners something to do vs giving them to much? Are we working on ways to keep prisons from being "Criminal University"?

Thats a good point. Most of the folks I'm talking about were in my PhD cohort and we all decided the PhD wasn't for us (My PhD program left a very bad taste in my mouth towards higher ed). I've known a few Masters students who got stipends

Maybe this depends greatly on the particular discipline you're in. In the US it's not that difficult to get your Master's degree in C.S. for free + monthly stipend, at least in my experience. I know a number of people across the natural sci
