Of course, your realize the issue with a no asshole policy, right?

Everyone left is full of shit. <grin>

Thanks for the reply. I've visited many of the sites that attempt to provide a fountain of ideas, but never found them to be on point. Seems like a challenging product to make.

I will look into this, thanks for the reply :)

Thanks for the tip, I'll do that.

Bought it, works great :)

Might like to see description listed next to stations in the fav list drop down from menu bar.

(edit: also, sort by description in All Stations list doesn't work: http://cl.ly/image/3l3M030n1D2m)

While scrolling down the tabled, framed, left side "menu", I had a visceral feeling of reminiscence and nostalgia of roughly 1998, when I started playing with HTML.

Amazing.

Dude! Stop being "that guy"!

Sorry, didn't realize this. Gotta catch up on my HN rss.

Right or wrong, my first reaction was also "heyyy, that's sexist"...

Next is Etsy going to pay guys $5,000 to take knitting classes?

Soundtracks - mainly instrumental ones.

Trainspotting, Reservoir Dogs, Snatch, Run Lola Run.

They're moving, the backdrops to quickly developed stories, builds momentum :)

It worked!

In two hours, for 6 dollars, I got all the confirmed referrals.

Fun way to learn how to use Adwords.

Dug out an old .edu email account I had also, up to 18 gigs for "free" XD

SEEKING WORK (Remote or Buenos Aires)

I work with a team of 3 devs and a designer codenotion.com (it's a silly page for now).

We work across the full web stack: html/css/js/php/python/sql/deployment.

We are also generalists, happy to code non-web projects.

Feel free to contact me: mike@codenotion.com or all: development@codenotion.com

Interesting. I wonder if the tech grads would be willing to stick around if a start up culture took root.

> Extremely supportive people who will help entrepreneurs in an instant.

Can you elaborate on this?

What's your business focus?

I'd read about the influx of artists and musicians, but didn't have a link ref to it, so I didn't bring it up. I'm not dead-set on Detroit, but it seemed a good match, the artsy and the geeky crowd. There is a big jumbled mix of modern hip culture which lends itself to new web style and start-up culture...

Thanks for the counterpoint.

Why? I mean it without sarcasm, why do you suggest that the three are not possible?

Great - where else?

If we're going to pick our ideal city, what should it be? Maybe podunk Texas isn't going to have the best internet service. Who does, within the list of economically thirsty locations?

That's the underlying question: What city has cheap housing, good infrastructure and is friendly to tech startups?

I agree that programmers have been relatively economically protected. There's still wisdom saving money.

Perhaps the crime factor makes Detroit a tough sell (or the snow for some).

There must be another city in the throes of economic upheaval to choose.

My thoughts are that affordable housing + a few brave companies will bring other companies, talent and VC's.

This phrase, spoken by someone who doesn't know anything about the subject, contains an unrelated grain of truth.

Today's projects are cobbled together by giants sections of open source code, customized for specific purposes. A project may span languages, and usually includes more than one.

His ignorance made me appreciate the meta-programming language one could call "open source code."

Hmm, encouraging commenting as a means, not as an end, is engendering a culture of under valued contributions...

I've been a member since late 2009, but I've made 2 or 3 comments so far. My case is not atypical. Maybe there's a better way?

I'd appreciate being added to the list. Thanks for the real life illustration of the pay it forward concept.

Let's accept your argument, that each language is a complete toolbox. You'd likely grab a different toolbox to fix different classes of problems.

For large problems it's common to bring several different toolboxes (think of a primarily php site with a their public api scratched out in java).

The points among each language which contrast and define the 'things it's better at' differentiate the tools and or toolboxes (however you prefer to think of each).

Again, +1 for tearing down tearing down programming languages.

Someone bashes php or Java, and, well I can understand that, but how dare you bash language bashing!

Joking aside, bravo for the denunciation, there's no best language, there's no worst language, they're tools in a box, the sooner we accept it the better.
