I would really advise agains even trying, unless you are simply bored. I created a system with exact parts recommended by tonymacx86 and it took days to get everything up and running. Even then basic stuff kept braking like sound. Speed stepping didn't work at all so I abandoned that ship...

SebKba | 11 years ago | on: No more dieting and other things we do differently after reporting on healthcare

I like the "stop dieting" and graph about what causes vs protects against cancer. The "don't get healthcare" is ridiculous though. But then again, especially in the US unnecessary back surgeries for example are insanely common...

It's the first thought that popped into my head...

I don't exactly see how your comment helps any more than mine but that's fine.

Yet every single one of the bankers who brought the world economy to the brink of collapse walks free, enjoying the fruits of his labour. The system works.

I didn't even notice this. It works great and makes me a very happy camper :)

SebKba | 11 years ago | on: Ask HN: Got hired for a position that doesn't exist. How do I leave?

Don't beat yourself up. Making those mistakes is how you learn. Making this mistake on the first job is surely a forgiveable offence.

Try to get transferred to the job you applied for. I would be completely honest with the situation and see how they react. Can you get hold of the guy who gave the lecture?

If it doesn't work out I doubt that IT is a field in general where finding a job is that difficult.

So you open every single link? I read the headlines, open the ones I want to read and then pressing the "mark all as read" was a total blessing because next time I open the page I only look at the "non grey" links.

I guess I could just open all the links but it doesn't seem ideal.

SebKba | 11 years ago | on: How to Learn Efficiently

I would absolutely recommend the book that's mentioned at the end of the article: "Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning by Peter C. Brown et al."

It's a great read for anybody who wants to continue learning new material. I'm one of the people who had very poor studying practices beforehand...
