I once read a post from a company's founder who is involved in the business of hiring fresh talents for tech companies.

Basically, what he does is whine and whine about the lack of talent because most fresh graduates want to build a start-up for themselves instead of joining a company.

He tries to convince fresh graduates that they are better of joining established companies because most startups fail anyway. It seems like people distort their values when it comes to self-interest.

I said he does so because he is once the founder of a startup himself. Why would he discourage others from doing the same.

I didn't know before that someone can scrape or access HN's API to retrieve it contents. Is is actually legal?

I'm so fascinated by the news here that I haven't yet figured out how the site works so far.

A while ago I was reading a blog post and I spotted a grammar error. The post was good but it made me a little uncomfortable.

So I decided to make it right. I used chrome developer tools's edit html feature... I edited the html and behold the grammar error was gone. I read the paragraph again with pure delight. I love technology.

Idea Generated: There are lots of blog posts out there that have good content, but sometimes they are not written well or grammar errors exists because of lack of proof-reading.

What if there was a web-app where readers can correct blog posts or articles. Of course, it needs the approval of the author. There might be a 'Correct me if I have grammar errors' button of some sort somewhere in the post.

The editor is not allowed to edit the meaning of the content, only the typos and/or grammar errors, which of course needs the approval of the author. It's like github for blog posts and articles.

OpenSSL is like a guardian angel who's invisible to a person. The guardian angel has been helping the person all the time even though he/she doesn't know it. Then the time came that the guardian angel made a little unintentional mistake that led to large consequences. The person then starts blaming the guardian angel, forgetting all the good things the angel has done for him/her.

Because they are a legitimate company that sells security services.

I feel you man. OpenSSL is like a guardian angel who's invisible to a person. The guardian angel has been helping the person all the time even though he/she doesn't know it. Then the time came that the guardian angel made a little unintentional mistake that led to large consequences. The person then starts blaming the guardian angel, forgetting all the good things the angel has done for him/her.

Why not think outside the box. (I apologize for the overused cliché.) Reading is only a means for learning something which is the outcome that you want.

Like you I like reading books (and still do), but I found out that I can learn much faster and efficiently through programming courses offered in sites like tutsplus, treehouse, infiniteskills, etc.

That doesn't mean that you should stop reading books, for all I know those video courses are an effective learning companion. You can subscribe to any learning sites that you want, but if you ask me tutsplus is a good one.

"Vigorous programming is concise. A method should contain no unnecessary statements, a class no unnecessary methods, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the programmer make all his methods short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his classes only in design, but that he make every statement tell."

Infinite scrolling also consumes a lot of memory since resources like images pile-up endlessly.

Compare that to a page-number navigation scheme where only the displayed resources on a given page are loaded.

Not everyone has a fast computer (or tablet).

Thanks. I was not aware of that feature yet. It would be nice if those pages (shared) are the ones google would list in the search results, but then quora needs its user sign-ups.

Your question has already been answered at Quora:

P.S. You need to sign-in with your Google or Facebook account to view the page.

A video game can also make you open to all races. For example, when I was playing a popular role playing game I had people of all races in my party.

Role playing games in my opinion are a form of 'interactive fiction' whose outcome you can somewhat control. In short, they are also a stories.

The mode of storytelling is one of the most effective ways of communicating ideas to our mind, unconsciously, that is. By having meaningful interactions with virtual people of all races, it communicates to our mind that we are open to those type of experiences.

That would be great. You can also add this site on the list:

A while ago it was being promoted here on HN.

Create a product that you think people will like. In that way they will play with your app even if you don't ask them to do so. Provided it's good enough, early adopters will provide you feedback, which is what you want in the first place.

This is nice. Already bookmarked. The only confusion is at first 'superhero.js' sounds like a javascript library or framework.

Like others said use what you feel you are most comfortable with. The reason is that when you don't like the technology you're using, no matter how popular or advanced it is, there is a possibility that you might lose interest.

But that's only a 'possibility,' we don't know you personally so we can't judge how determined you are to achieve your goals no matter what.

I think this forum post will help you out:

Can you give us more information about your programming background (if any)?

This is the reason why seminars are not good for learning. Art Markman discusses that issue in his book 'Smart Thinking.'

Basically the human mind can only hold limited amounts of information at a time in short-term memory. If we contemplate what's on our short-term memory, the probability of it being stored in our long-term memory is much higher.

It's like reading blogs one after another. Later on we have difficulty recalling what was on the previous blogs that we have read (of course there are exceptions, for the geniuses out there).

I would like to see a version where the progress bar fill-color gets brighter colors as it nears completion.

Dear Google,

Please don't tell (or at least influence me) on how to live my life. When I want information I'll ask you, not the other way around.

Much respect to you sir!

Visual Studio is indeed very powerful, but its users have to pay the price with ever increasing complexity. There are far too many options available for a user at a given moment. Having constraints would be nice. Also, it would be nice for it to have a full-powered command-line interface for generation.

What is education? Think about it for a moment... Is it fancy phrases added to our names like Dr, Phd, Md, etc. or is it something that we internalize and apply in the real world for the betterment of mankind?

The title says it is intended primarily for programming books. But what if some fiction writers discovered it and got creative? Who knows, the resulting novel might become a work art.

Actually that same blogger wrote such a piece regarding git:

Common guys. The downvotes are okay (points don't mean anything anyways). I just like to explain that what I wrote is a metaphor and that's it. It ain't to be taken literally.

Have you met the people you have been pitching to beforehand? Did you get any hint whether they like you or not? (We all make snap judgments.)

I think it's like being a man in an all-girls gathering. You can either be awkward or the center of attention. It depends on your perception and how you would present yourself.

I'm autistic and is proud of it. I came to realize that what happens inside my head is not what matters (at least to outside observers). What matters is my outside world output (actions). I used to be clueless with regards to social conventions. I just didn't get it naturally like the others. The good thing is one can learn, but only if that person is willing.
