naf··on Ask HN: How to find solvable problems if you're a great problem-solver?
That's a great idea. It just seems that every problem I run into has already been solved.
naf··on Ask HN: How to find solvable problems if you're a great problem-solver?
I'm talking about practical/technical problems of course.
naf··on Ask HN: How to find solvable problems if you're a great problem-solver?
Yes, it is. But I can't recognise my own problems anymore, because I've become so good at solving them myself.
naf··on Hands on with Bootstrap 3 - A landing page
Why not use Neat for your grid and Foundation for typography?
naf··on Discuss my idea: social address book network
EveryMe is something different. They add a social feature to your contacts. My idea is about always having the most up to date personal contact information.
naf··on Where can I discuss about my ideas?
They're just ideas floating around in my head. I want to make sure I'm not reinventing the weel.
naf··on Ask HN: Aggregator intended for a certain market niche?
I'm actually thinking about a celebrity/gossip niche. It would be fun to just read articles and watch pictures/videos of a certain celebrity, without visiting multiple websites. I just don't have a clue how an aggregator is build. Do I have to build a crawler or can I just use the RSS feeds of certain websites?
naf··on Ask HN: Is there something similar to "Learn Python The Hard Way" for C++
Love it!
naf··on Ask HN: Should I quit college to pursue my dream?
I'm only studying to get a degree. Without a degree, it's hard to find a proper job in Belgium. CS has interested me since I was a teenager, that's why I choose it.
naf··on Ask HN: Should I quit college to pursue my dream?
You're absolutely right. Sometimes I let myself be carried away by the fears of others.
naf··on Ask HN: Should I quit college to pursue my dream?
Really appreciate your input, but your statement about my idea is rather brusque. You don't have a clue what my idea is about. It is possible to take a leave of absence at my university, which I'm considering. I might even go to night school getting a bachelor's degree while working on my startup during the day.
naf··on Ask HN: Should I quit college to pursue my dream?
I can learn things quicker without going to college. College also teaches a lot of things I don't need right now. I'm a strong believer that one should only learn things when they're needed and useful. You're much more focused then, which results in a better learning experience.
naf··on Ask HN: Should I quit college to pursue my dream?
There's nothing wrong with having doubts. I feel it's actually immature starting a company without considering all the options. You're just being delusional then.
naf··on Ask HN: What do you expect from a Facebook 'killer'?
Less clutter, an easier way to choose with who I want to share, a dislike button, possibility to comment on page likes (they removed that feature), an algorithm that filters the stuff that's irrelevant to me (f.e. farmville spam, fanpage posts, ...), a cleaner frontpage, a better distinction between groups and lists, no flood of e-mails, better family relationship options, ... The list is endless.
naf··on Ask HN: Should I know any mathematics/algorithms before starting my own startup?
Thanks a lot. However, you do have to know how to program, right? Who else is going to build your product?
naf··on Ask HN: Should me and my girlfriend apply for YC?
Lacking knowledge or experience.
naf··on Ask HN: Who is looking for a partner/co-founder? (December 2011)
Hi,

I'm an Belgian computer science student looking for a co-founder who has serious interest in creating a new manner to buy/sell used and new products (like eBay, but completely different). I'm not looking for someone to work on my startup, I'm looking for someone to work with me on a startup. If you're interested, don't hesitate to contact me or add me on fb.

naf··on Ask HN: What interesting non-intuitive things do you know?
The music from my father. I never thought I'd end up listening to the same music as him, which seemed kinda old-fashioned when I was just a teenager. Unfortunately he passed away six years ago. It makes me smile we can still share common thoughts and feelings through his music today.
