Re:Ask HN: I have three good ideas. Help me choose idea 1, 2, or 3. on Monday January 19, 2009 @02:56AM (#440211)

Number 2 is not really a new idea, but if you can make it work and become the default place for overseas shopping it would be a goldmine. I actually already use a service like this for video games (www.play-asia.com) since I live Japan but I want the English versions of games. Anyway, if you go with number 2 and you need a contact in Japan, send an email my way. :)

Tokyo Hackers

Posted by nittwerp on Tuesday January 06, 2009 @04:06AM
from the self-post dept.

Does anyone know of any interesting technical meetups in the Tokyo area? Alternatively, is anyone interested in starting one? I've checked out the local Perl Monger groups, but they don't seem very active. It doesn't have to be anything formal, I'm just interested in meeting any hackers in the Tokyo/Yokohama area to talk about tech related stuff, brainstorm new ideas, etc.

Re:Ask HN: Can someone explain to me why all languages don't try to ha... on Sunday December 21, 2008 @11:35PM (#406077)

Let's say (however unlikely) that all current languages agreed on standard, and the next release of all these languages used this standard. There would inevitably be a group of people who don't agree with the standard and so they go and write a new language that uses their preferred syntax. Now we are back where we started.

Re:Ask HN: feedback on my startup? on Tuesday December 02, 2008 @03:57AM (#382825)

What is the meaning of "Current" and "Previous" in the Statistics section? Previous to what? Today? I'm kind of confused.

Re:Ask HN: why not just use Eclipse? on Monday November 24, 2008 @10:19AM (#374910)

I really can't stand using an IDE, but I understand why others would. There is just too much going on and it just seems to get in my way. Give me a decent text editor and a couple terminals and I'm ready to go.

Re:Poll: How do you feel about making HN invite only? on Monday November 24, 2008 @10:11AM (#374899)

Or maybe there isn't enough quality pieces on the internet to submit.

Maybe you could make some non-nerd friends and ask them for their input? Although, with the elitist attitude you exhibited in your comment, I can see how that might be difficult.
