Over-engineering? You're confusing me with one of those guys that has to do a UML diagram before he can start coding.

I know the Cliq will (T-mobile's Droid). So I'm guessing that the Droid will get it too.
Re:Ask HN: Any good JavaScript books?

But I only have two criteria. ;)
Does it atleast have the assignments?
Ask HN: Any good JavaScript books?
I've seen the cool things that developers are doing with JavaScript. Especially http://sonspring.com/journal/jquery-desktop.I'm wondering what the best book on the subject is. Just two things:- It has to be freely downloadable online - It has to have assignments at the end of the chapterAs for the assignments thing, I think it's really great. It's the best way to show yourself that you learned...

Well, they have to do something to get people to watch. Imagine how may people out there almost fall asleep when they hear the word "History".

That's what I did. I just wanted confirmation.
Ask HN: Do textbooks help?
I can't say I'm exactly new to programming, but I'm new to writing algorithms that actually do something. I am a bit clueless at the moment, but I was wondering whether reading a textbook on the subject helps. I'm specifically considering "Introduction to the Design and Analysis of Algorithms (2nd Edition)" by Anany V. Levitin, or "Introduction to Algorithms (3d Edition)" by Thomas H. Cormen,...
Re:Ask HN: Would anyone be interested in "Hacking Games"?

I was able to set this up on my Windows Vista laptop, I got it to work pretty well. But I can type faster than voice recognition can understand me so I stopped it.
Re:Ask HN: What's your definition of "Hacker News"?
on Sunday July 26, 2009 @12:57AM (#724070)
A place of enlightenment. Where budding hackers (like me) can come and learn more about the internals of the hacker subculture. I feel HN has opened doors for me that I didn't even know existed before. I feel like the whole world is at my fingertips.
