The most important skills for children of this generation to learn will be discipline and reflection.

Wow. That was remarkably polite given how unprofessional the original report was.

Learning Statistics. I never would have picked it, but was forced into it thanks to my economics minor, and I've used it more than most of my CS courses. I've never met anyone who regretted learning m…

Great. Trolling in response to trolling. I can't think of a better use for the attention of everyone on hackernews than reading this. I'm sure we'll all be further toward our life goals and happy with…

Another hilarious consequence. Firefox, if you try to middle click a link and miss, would try to interpret whatever is in your paste buffer as an url. It would do an i'm feeling lucky search on google…

The C++ closure library we use internally at Google has you specify whether the callback is permanent or not. If it isn't permanent, its deleted right after executing. It is a little painful maintaini…

>It will also be interesting to know if people here think Ceglia deserves those Facebook shares. That's what interests me most about this. I'm assuming this will come to some settlement that won't…

I find that for most queries on duckduckgo the results are identical to bing's (which it is based on).

Here are the things I use regularly that iOS doesn't/probably-will-never have. - Free turn by turn navigation that's better than any dedicated gps device. - Wifi or bluetooth tethering. I recently was…

I'm really excited about having a new search engine to try. More competition isn't just good for consumers, it's also good for the field of IR. I work in search quality at Google, and it's really exci…

I'm sorry to hear that. I work in search quality at Google, and we really do try to do our best, but it's a very hard problem. "Just provide good content" indeed isn't enough. What we should also be s…

I really wish I could just pipe finale files to it and have lilypond make it not suck.

What browser?

I'm trying to collect a list of resources of this quality in this subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/learnit/

This is the ugly side of bayes rule. In some situations, it isn't possible to gather enough evidence to overcome the prior.

Every company/product with a strong community and few employees that I've seen try this has worked massively well. http://unknownworlds.com/ is a great example. When it was still just a halflife mod…

Is it going to ever support ePub? That's the only reason I haven't gotten one (and just ordered a Nook instead.)

From personal experience, let's just say dating an Indian girl as a white man is non-trivial. (Assuming Indian means from-India, not just Indian descent.)

He should go play Passage: http://hcsoftware.sourceforge.net/passage/ There's a work of art that simply can't be experienced in any comparable way in any other medium. He could play it in 5 minutes.…

Out of curiosity, is there a karma threshold for downvoting stories, or is downvoting stories not enabled on hackernews at all? I don't think this piece adds anything to hackernews other than more fla…
