Re:Fuck You Startup World on Tuesday October 11, 2016 @02:28PM (#12687159)
Look, I get the issues with startup culture but this guy doesn't offer any reasonable suggestions on how to fix them and just uses his Medium soapbox to throw a tantrum. If you want things to change, writing an article with 35 "fucks" is not the way to do it.

Re:Ask HN: Favorite podcasts? on Sunday March 15, 2015 @02:53PM (#9207567)
- RadioLab is my current favorite: http://radiolab.org

- The Infinite Monkey Cage is an awesome (and funny) panel on a variety of science topics: http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/timc

- 99% Invisible always captivates me: http://99percentinvisible.org

- No Such Thing as a Fish is always hilarious and actually quite interesting: http://qi.com/podcast/

I've been reading Real World Haskell recently and loving it. It does a fantastic job of blowing your mind while simultaneously showing you how to apply Haskell to real-world problems.
I'm curious to know more too. I am a little over halfway done and want to see where the challenges end up. Can you give me some more detail?
Re:Levinux – A Tiny Version of Linux for Education on Saturday April 19, 2014 @08:43PM (#7615321)
This looks awesome, but I'm slightly confused with the mission of this project. Is it meant to provide a simplified operating system to encourage tinkering, or a minimal "old-school" environment in which to learn "higher-level" programming on?

Awesome!

Fresh beans - Burr grinder - Aeropress. The three ingredients you need to make a pretty darn good cup of joe. It takes about 10 minutes to reach Nirvana this way. Pretty inexpensive as well.

Re:When to kill your startup on Thursday June 14, 2012 @12:39AM (#4109792)
I remember hearing once (possible on Marco Arment's Build and Analyze) that million dollar ideas aren't created overnight. Companies like Rovio (creators of Angry Birds) had to suffer through tons of failed products before they struck gold. I think this article shows the value of perseverance and poses a very important question: when do you quit and try something new.
Re:Why Facebook is never safe on Sunday February 12, 2012 @12:26PM (#3582327)
I agree. I have always steered away from sites that require "facebook connect." I'm worried one day many more sites that I use daily require Facebook, which I don't use.

Yeah,

There are absolutely fascinating. I wonder what "Level III - Full Field Investigation" means.
