Re:Ask HN: Best resources to learn about stock trading and investing?

https://www.twitch.tv/thestockguy - I can personally recommend this channel for your daily dose of stock related entertainment. It's not a yolo on options channel, it's just a guy that wants to see other people grow their hard earned money into something meaningful.
The discord associated with this twitch channel has an amazing help section, search and you'll find some remarkably well written answers. Just avoid the degenerate-chat topic though.

Varier move standing stool
I really enjoy rocking and spinning around all day.
It's not the most comfortable thing and forces you to stand and walk around a bit. However, I think that is why this stool works so well for me.

Ubuntu 10.10 with an ATI video card I had to start ff4 with MOZ_GLX_IGNORE_BLACKLIST=1 env variable (I need to update my video card drivers).
Then it crashed after the train broke out of the tunnel, still well worth the effort to getting it to work. Fantastic demo of what is possible.

small bug/feature is that single letter domains are not working, i.e. http://a.coralrift.com
Re:Ask HN: What podcasts do you watch regularly?

http://castcurator.com/ Mostly just the music stuff I listen to and a few recommendations that I got over the past few days. I will go ahead and add all the podcasts that pop up in this thread and create a HN feed for them.

I'd love to see computer science problems explained and solved.
For instance start with a problem like http://www.coderloop.com/puzzles/friendsfinder and then show various approaches and solutions to it.
Just a thought.

This is something I have been doing with the idea guys on craigslist. Most of them are not even willing to buy me a cup of coffee to listen to their pitch. Out of 15 or so I have yet to see even a basic landing page get put up.

The biggest problem I face is that in the time it takes me to do a single page mock up a pro could have done 15 different one. It is not quite a matter of software knowledge at this point, it is more of a "this is the only thing I can think of doing" thing.
Re:HTML5 Is An Oncoming Train, Native App Development An Oncoming Rock...
on Wednesday February 09, 2011 @07:45AM (#2197235)
Haven't we seen this movie before? At one point the web was a complete joke to the average user and now we have an incredibly diverse ecosystem of web applications.
I think that applications that require high performance will always require a native app, but for the simple business applications out there mobile web apps will certainly do just fine. The devices will get faster, the designers will work out the user interface issues, and the programmers will make it easier.
The next five year will be dominated by native mobile apps, after that I really don't think we are all going to continue to pay the expense of developing on multiple platforms.

How about a 960 or similar grid system?

You are 100% correct. Perhaps this argument only stands true for movies.
Re:On downloading books: “Free” Books Aren’t Free

The problem is you can get the book faster and easier by typing "Name of Book torrent" than "Name of Book buy".
Perhaps this is a problem that someone from this community should address. Easier Than Stealing dot com sounds nice.

I'd really love to see this article accompanied with a video of you actually working (no narration necessary). I think it would be very helpful to see what the real work flow is like.

This is a wonderful collection of resources. The screencast by Lau Jensen was a fantastic demonstration of how to setup emacs/slime/etc correctly. I would had never found this without your site, thank you. --Benjamin

Very interesting read.
I have always liked the art school approach, portfolio to get in and a polished portfolio when you leave.

It's very similar to 960, but this one incorporates a vertical grid.
