I recently came across this tech where physical buttons appear and disappear on touch screens when needed : http://tactustechnology.com/

Just checked out the game trailer and it looks really good! The concept seems fun and the graphics are amazing. However I have to admit that I feel the title is not appropriate and a better one should have been chosen.

nmikz | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: Do you agree on these screening shortcuts when hiring tech developers?

I share your viewpoint that the video was made for 'start-up founders with little technical knowledge' but most of the tips that were presented seem credible.

Myself, I am going to be graduating soon with a BSc and I yet have to do some of things that were mentioned. Such as using a version control and setting up a personal website (something I have being putting off for a long time). My first OS was Win 98 and my languages would be Python, Java, PHP, CSS/HTML. I am not entirely sure how I would stack up against other developers, and it bothers me how some recruiters would use shortcuts like these to simply not consider you at all.

Thanks for that insight. (I read your post about hiring the truck driver. I dont think many recruiters would do such a thing but I admire your decision at that time.)

I wish had known about the event a bit earlier since I am graduating in a couple of months..

Awesome! How long have you worked on it?

nmikz | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: I have developed bedsheets that can go months without washing

I had a similar thought process. I believe if it actually gets "dirty", the sheets would need replacing. So I checked out the website - Does the silver prevent sweat being absorbed into the fabric? Is that how it can go for weeks without washing? Is it washable? Good luck with the product!

Definitely Sri Lanka!.. Especially the south west where you could have the occasional surf.
