Hi Peter,

I am a Canadian citizen with a diploma in Computer Programming and 3 years of experience as a Programmer Analyst. Will I be eligible to get a TN Visa to work in the US as Software Engineer?

Ask HN: How do I improve?

I just recently started a new job, and I love it. However I believe I'm clumsy, there were times when I send out the wrong emails and several times I made mistakes on the emails. There were times when I didn't thoroughly test of my code, and end up having to do an emergency deployment to fix it. I feel like to talk too fast, and had to stop mid sentence to catch my breath. My supervisor said...

Ask HN: Data Science certificate program worth it?

I have a diploma in Computer programming from a Canadian college. In Canada college are more practical while universities are more theory based. Since my graduation in Aug 2016, I haven't been able to get a programming job. I am now thinking of doing a Data Science certificate program at UofT School of Continuing Studies. I was wondering if programs like these are worth it? Has it helped anyone...

What do you mean by "(here)"?

Ask HN: What is wrong with my resume and portfoilo?

This is my resume https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8b4MJypbW9Yc1FFYjM3aUZ1ZzA/view?usp=sharing , I would like to know what is wrong with it? I been applying to lots of jobs, and haven't got any offers yet. Earlier I applied to full stack developer, now I am just applying to junior web developer. This is the website I build for my portfolio: opusworkspace.herokuapp.com. This is my GitHub page:...

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the author made an error. The author wrote:

"A prime from which you can remove numbers and still have a prime is a deletable prime, such as 1987".

However if you remove the 7, then the number is divisible by 2, so the statement: "A prime from which you can remove numbers and still have a prime is a deletable prime" does not apply to 1987.

I agree I do need discipline, but is easier said then done. I been reading on how to build discipline.

Ask HN: Have you ever lost focus on your personal project?

I been working on a personal project for almost a year now. Its nothing too complicated, just an online text editor. However recently can't even focus on the project. I really need to get this project working, I want to drop out of school and I plan on using this project to get a full time job(use it as a portfolio). How did you gain back your focus?

Ask HN: Best database management service for Mongodb?

I am looking for a free Mongodb database management service. The storage doesn't have to be too big, 1GB is good enough. I looked at Azure, Google Cloud Platform, mongolab, and Parse. Parse seems a bit confusing. I need time to learn it before I use it. I am just a student, just trying to use the management service to create my start up. I would like your opinion on the ones that are available.

Re:Ask HN: What are you wishing/hoping for in 2015? on Sunday December 21, 2014 @12:28AM (#8779036)
To set my life straight. I dropped out of university, went to college because of my parents, I hate college. I want to drop out of college, finish my startup so I can get a developer job. My future depends on this startup.

I hate school

I am tired of school. I feel like every school day is like going into a battle, coming out all beaten up and exhausted. I love assignments but when it comes to tests I cannot still and study. I am in programming and it doesn't make sense to have written exams or test for it. I want to drop out, but I feel like school is the easiest thing in life, but if I can't do that then how can I do...
