on: What is your opinion about feedback tabs?
They're pretty annoying. If they want to get feedback, maybe make it prominent on the front page, but to have it right there on every single page - occasionally covering up other things - it's really obnoxious.

Indeed. The author of this article is pretty badly misinformed.

on: Placebo buttons: 'door-close' buttons, others, don't do anything
The door close button in my previous apartment worked. Then again the door stayed open for an unreasonably (for a guy in his 20's) long time because of the number of elderly people in the building.

on: This is how you write a reverse job application
Yeah I'm pretty terrible on the phone, and I have over 5 years of professional experience (plus coding since I was about 15). So when I get to the part of the phone call where they ask computer science questions I haven't thought about in a bunch of years, I usually just fumble about, get concepts confused, and generally completely blank out.
The better ones are the companies who ask you to do a coding assignment (and I'm not talking FizzBuzz). Sure I wouldn't want to end up having TOO MANY companies ask me to do it since it would be very time consuming, but certainly if you're taking your time to go through the process you should be able to put some time into writing a small demo app for companies you're passionate about joining.

on: How I Snuck Into The Ivy League. And You Can Too.
Could somebody help me out here - I was under the impression (and perhaps this is just the case for Canadian schools?) that you need a student number to register for courses. If you're not admitted to the school, how can you get a student number to register for courses?

Yeah really, I was kinda hoping to read through some relevant posts, but it's just been taken over by a bunch of tards concentrating on his SWTOR comments.

on: Tim Armstrong: We Got TechCrunch
I wonder how many more Armstrongs can show up on HN's front page? Maybe get something about Hellcat Records on here and we can have two Tim Armstrongs!

on: Ask HN: Review my startup CanYouCode.com
What's wrong with making the site region-based? Maybe don't discriminate by country, but certainly limit people to their own region/country. If people are looking for slave labour from India there's always Elance.

Seems like a lot of people are stoned when entering prices. $10 for 10 grams?

At the risk of getting downvoted like crazy, can somebody please explain to me the point of this blog post? It's just a couple of empty comparisons of Scala to lego/smartphones and C++/C#/Haskell to morse code.

Programmers are not people. They are robots without friends or families and they really hate being paid overtime.
