hkailahi··on Programmers should learn how to benchmark, or I will kill them all
The title should be changed to reflect the purpose of the link, rather than a clickbait-y reference to your site/Zed's article.

Also, Zed's article "Programmers Need To Learn Statistics Or I Will Kill Them All" has been posted seven times already to HN.

hkailahi··on Signs that you're a bad programmer (2012)
I upvoted you because I suspect that your first two sentences are true.

You completely lost me with the extraordinary causation/situation tangent, though I'm not sure if it is because I disagree with you or because I am misunderstanding you.

hkailahi··on Atom Editor or Sublime Text – which one to pick?
The startup speed is incredibly painful. That said, I absolutely love working in Atom, and I use it whenever I'm doing a substantial session of coding.

For minor edits and quick referencing, I'll typically use Emacs. Then some Jetbrains IDE for work/specific school projects. I definitely think I've found a balance that works well for me, but the fact that I'm switching so much makes me unsure if it is best.

hkailahi··on Microsoft Acquires Calendar App Sunrise for North of $100M
I was pretty sketched by this when I was looking at it over the summer. I'm also curious on their reasoning.

Does anyone on here use the Github integration? What do you get out of it?

hkailahi··on Ask HN: Should I report my main competitor for PCI Violations?
A recipient could have listened. A recipient could have not listened. I still think it is dishonest when it is someone's intention to fish for agreements. I originally speculated as to whether this was the case, and he/she has said otherwise.
hkailahi··on Ask HN: Should I report my main competitor for PCI Violations?
This is the vibe I was getting, which is unfortunate. Of course I'm only speculating.

Similarly, I find it to be insanely frustrating when people ask for advice, but are not willing to listen when they get it. It feels dishonest.

hkailahi··on Binaural Sound with the Web Audio API
I just got my haircut after listening to this, and it was creepily similar.
hkailahi··on Ask HN: What do you use to access HN on your phone?
I'll second this. I actually use the site to view on my laptop, as well as the app.
hkailahi··on Cursors
Playing this was a mistake on my part considering I have plenty of networking HW due tomorrow, but then again looking at HN was the first mistake. Great job! It's a simple game that ended up being significantly more fun than I thought it would be.

hkailahi··on How to Start a Startup: Fall 2014
Happy coincidence - I'm a current UCSB undergrad, and I'm taking the entrepreneurship class this Fall.
hkailahi··on How to Start a Startup: Fall 2014
Wow this is exciting and unexpected! I am curious to see if the students who take this course end up being more likely to dropout afterwards.

Troll. Did you make the 'bigbangtheory1' account too?

Congrats on getting something out. I had a similar idea that's now too far in the backlog, so hopefully you'll find use from it. It'd be awesome if I could set a mobile chatroom around myself with some choice of radius. While sitting in class I could spin up a room for classmates, and ask questions/chat/pre-poll iClicker answers/etc. Maybe add some pseudo-anonymity. The thought that you don't know who you are talking to, even when they're right next to you, is pretty exciting. Maybe anon-chat roulette with people in the radius? The extrapolations get weird.

hkailahi··on We’re 10 today
I've been wanting to look into the Scout/Skobbler SDK for a while now. I'll either be using that or Mapbox for some mobile/web apps. Do you have any insights to push me in your direction?
hkailahi··on Designers: Don't cover what I'm looking at
I agree. Even if I wasn't looking to click on some section, the mouse icon would be distracting if it was directly on top of whatever I was trying to look at.
hkailahi··on How to balance health issues with being a founder?
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis last year, and I can tell you that you won't get your weight issues sorted out until you have the proper treatment.

I am a college athlete who consistently exercises at a high level, and I ballooned uncontrollably last summer. I started using a strict diet, but that wasn't nearly enough. I'm on the right medication now, and the "mental fog" and dreariness, which I couldn't even tell I was going through at the time, is gone.

Right now this is your most important problem, and you should take every necessary step to fix it. I can personally tell you that everything you're going through is closely related to your hypothyroidism. Good luck!
