If you don't know how to even get started, what do you have to gain from just being stuck?

When I started on the assembly track, looking at others code to figure out how to get set up for the first challenge allowed me to do the rest on my own.

I've had better luck with getting reviews when I form or join teams.

One reason to submit before it passes is so that you can see how others did it. If you're learning a new language and don't even know where to start, it can be useful to get help from others first then try to implement it yourself.
Re:The Mating Crisis Among Educated Women on Sunday November 19, 2017 @06:35PM (#15736594)
Why is the onus of lowering their standards being pushed on educated women? One of the issues the author states is that men increasingly go for younger women instead of ones their own age. Why do we value youth and beauty instead of education and accomplishments?
Re:Robocalls Flooding Your Cellphone? Here’s How to Stop Them on Wednesday August 16, 2017 @11:37AM (#15028333)
I started using the robokiller app and it's made a huge difference for me. I get at least a few telemarketer calls every day and I had stopped answering any phone calls. I've been using the app for a few months and now only get calls that I want. Definitely worth the money for me.

Re:Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier – BWV 731 [video] on Thursday May 18, 2017 @01:01AM (#14364933)
I love seeing this on HN! I'm particularly fond of Bach's cello suites but I'm probably biased since I'm a cellist. http://allofbach.com/en/bwv/bwv-1010/
That seems like a reasonable ratio considering that bootcamps are a popular way for women to break into the industry.
The video isn't working when I try to view it so without it, there's not enough messaging and information to help me understand exactly what I should expect out of your product. Is it a dating site? It is a chat roulette knock off? I don't really know.
It would be nice if there was information about what is allowed, what isn't, how you'll handle inappropriate or abusive situations, etc.

Re:Show HN: GameDate – Dating app linked with local events on Sunday December 11, 2016 @03:14AM (#13150128)
I could see this being fun if I was interested in going to a specific event in my area but didn't have anyone to go with and was single. Of course, there is the risk/downside of what happens if it didn't go well but that's a risk for any first date.

They've already stated that it'll be a few years before they'll get ruby 3X faster.

Great job! One note: a few of the images/logos are broken. Example: https://remotebase.io/reinteractive
Re:Drape – a Fabric Simulator on Friday June 03, 2016 @04:04PM (#11832836)
That's pretty cool! Do you have any plans to have it respect the boundaries of solid objects it comes in contact with such as the poles it's tethered to? Currently, the cloth will go through the poles instead of interacting with the poles as solid objects.
