Believe me, that will make most bullies even more angry. They'll feel more insecure because now they're inferior to the "shrimp" in a way. It's just adding fuel to the fire.

As someone who used to be somewhat of a bully, I think this is the best advice. Bullies pick on smaller kids because they're insecure about themselves and bullying a smaller kid is... well, easy. If a smaller kid makes it difficult for bullies to pick on them (by fighting back), the bully will most likely stop (and move on to another victim).

I got just about average (26) but I would be interested to see if HN has an inordinate amount of people coming in around the low 20's.

Thanks for your advice. I had to look up FizzBuzz, so that's one good direction to go in. I'm not looking for the be-all, end-all solution to learning programming, I want to read everyone's methods and possibly come upon the method that will deliver me to programming heaven.

Looks good. Although, playing around with it, I found that sometimes it randomly multiplied some of my items. Weird

Palo Alto is "socially dead"?

Yeah, I think this is a little too complicated. Only people who are looking for friends would be on the site and I think if you supplied them with a list of people who have similar interests, are around the same age and describe themselves similarly, then people should be able to find friends. Of course, you would need to have a huge userbase.

I've got tons of respect for everyone on this list, but especially Chris Coyier. He taught me (and I'm assuming many others) everything I know about CSS and Wordpress.

That sounds like a good reason to learn Ruby on Rails.

Just to clarify, this article is about spotting CIA agents... no racist connotations.

Well, I wake up every morning feeling like P Diddy...

I predict this will be a hit.

Sweet. Looks pretty easy to implement. http://code.google.com/apis/webfonts/docs/getting_started.ht...

Hey, I'm interested in #4 and I'm located in Palo Alto.

Mediatemple is great.

the way i see it, twittering lends itself to blogging and vice-versa. you hammer out a blog post then use twitter to get eyes on your post. plus, how much time could twitter possibly take from blogging? you can't get very much across in 140. symbiosis is the key

i didn't know twittering and blogging were mutually exclusive.

Thanks!

Finally! I can see ice!

Is it really that big of a hassle to make a quick PSD mockup that will ultimately help you visualize a site? Are those 25 minutes that tedious? I think they're doing themselves a disservice.

No, you are not.

This letter really bothers me for a few reasons:

1. The letter did not need to be open at all. If you want to travel the country for 30 days without paying, more power to you but why not just send it to the jetBlue CEO directly?

2. The people behind this letter obviously think their idea is amazingly brilliant. Which it isn't. Everyone has interesting stories. You could go into a Dunkin' Donuts at 3AM and hear some pretty crazy stuff. No need to be at 30,000 feet.

3. These people probably WILL get free flights or some other special support from jetBlue because God forbid a publicly-traded company didn't listen to any and every simple Jack who asked for something on the internet.

Any word on how accurate/useful this tool is? I've tried products like SiteGrinder in the past and they don't work as well as advertised.

very good design

think different

Try to make it easier to rate a place. Seemed like there was at least one extra step there. Also, go with a 1-5 star system with halves in between.

appears to be april 20th... 4/20... hmmm

Fair enough. Good point.

Personally, I don't agree with that. Why waste time developing features your intended customerbase wouldn't find beneficial?
