This is a good reminder, to me, of why I have chosen to delay any ambitions of my own startup until after my kids are grown and no longer want to spend (as much) time with me. However, I think it'…

Yeah, my biggest issue with touch screens by far is the lack of precision. This point seems a bit silly as your fingers typically move fast enough to allow your memory to recall the image. Maybe in …

> Also, during this critical time and considering the importance of YC partners, 10 minutes of partner time is likely worth more than the $1500 to YC. Yeah, it may be worth more to the interview…
comment
Yes, that's it. Unfortunately, not quite enough to rely on full time. I would love for it to be, and I've thought about building a broader community to gain a larger audience and potentially…

I totally see where the OP is coming from. 12 years ago, I built a site I had absolutely zero intentions of making money from. I had an interest in an upcoming video game, and thought it would make a …
comment
I never thought to post there because I'm not looking for freelance work, period. Sure some still post there, but how many companies looking for full-time developers are looking there? I would th…
comment
I agree with you for the most part. However, I don't think any of the companies that reached out to me ever post on the "Who is hiring" thread. Maybe my situation was an edge case -- I&…
comment
As someone posting my resume, I actually found it very valuable -- at least for me. I had five different companies reach out to me, and all of them were relevant. Three of them sound very interesting …
comment
I wouldn't mind -- strictly from a user standpoint -- if all code was in one place. It's easier to collaborate and contribute to other repositories when they're all in the same SCM and …

Thanks for your thoughts, and for blessing the creation of a thread. I'll set one up in the morning to see how it goes. I can see some concerns mentioned below being a potential issue, but I thin…
comment
Exactly. Except for the "Seeking freelancer?" part. That's covered by "Who is hiring?". I'm basically looking for the inverse of "Who is hiring?". "Who wan…

> Although recruiters will probably go wild all over it and nobody really wants that, do they? Surely if you include "No recruiters please." they will respect that? Or am I naive?…

I take it you live in a climate not subject to the extremes of seasons?
comment
For those being banned without explanation, can there not be any sort of legal action taken? IANAL, and I've not gone over their ToS with a fine toothed comb, but I can't believe they can es…
comment
I think this is partially true. But I think it goes beyond breaking your code down into smaller modules. To me, the biggest difference between testable and non-testable code is decoupling code from de…

No idea what this is. It keeps crashing Firefox for me. And unfortunately, restarting Firefox only restores the same window, sending me into a loop of crashing.

Did this article get flagged? It was one the first page, and just found it at #132 (in spite of 17 points in 26 minutes). This is front page news, no? The algorithms HN use baffle me sometimes.
comment
I really wish, instead (or in addition), that there was a "new" indicator so that I could quickly see recent comments. This won't do a late comer any good as all posts appear as new, bu…

Problem is you would end up w/ three months of 30 days during common years.

To me, the most mathematically logical way to split up the calendar would have just been something like: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12
31 30 31 30 31 30 30 31 30 31 30 30 -- common year

I see shades of gray all over the present and future of this thread. Pretty sure if there were ever an appropriate thread for enabling pending comments [1], it is this one. [1] https://news…
