This was the edition I first read. I distinctly remember after finishing it for the first time, and for some reason immediately starting the afterword, that having such a crushing affect after finishing the book, i really think it ruined my mood, and thus dampened the memory.
Re:Dear Skype/Microsoft: Problems with Linux client on Wednesday February 24, 2016 @08:36AM (#11166557)
by itself, not a big deal. But in Skype's case, the number of issues I had with the application had increased since Microsoft took over. A lot.

Most of Twitter is inappropriate.
seems like those cycles could have been better spent protein folding or looking for aliens or something

Re:Facebook social scam on Monday December 28, 2009 @01:20PM (#1019025)
same as false rumors on twitter, everyone retweets without even following the link, assuming the research has already been done by the OP, or retweeter.

atleast with facebook you can see the span of who was gullible enough to join. Is there a way to map retweets to see the scope of a false link/post?

btw facebook groups are a joke. period. seriously, most are just a punchline.

Re:Ask HN: How to become a better programmer? on Monday December 28, 2009 @10:39AM (#1018686)
more specifically, take a real problem that your having ("Scratch The Itch"). That'll provide the ample motivation to spend a lot of time you wouldn't normally. Just build something. If you need to create a blog or whatnot, instead of using a pre-packaged platform, writing it in whatever tech you want to learn. Then you'll benefit two-fold, even though it takes longer than installing wordpress.
Re:HackerMusic on Monday December 28, 2009 @10:06AM (#1018626)
I hardly ever listen to music while really coding. If i'm doing the same ole boilerplate stuff, then yeah, but if i'm doing data transforms or trying to decipher bug reports, its not a good idea to have music on while trying to comprehend. But since I only code 10% of the time, the rest is perfect for music listening, especially trying to drown out the insanity that is my office. Or signaling for people to walk away.
