haasted··on Ask HN: How would you turn Twitter around?
Well, if the "sponsored hashtags" were clearly marked as such, like google's ads next to search result, I believe the loss of trust would be limited.
haasted··on Ask HN: How would you turn Twitter around?
- Allow companies to purchase moderation rights to a hashtag for a limited time. This might actually make advertisement campaigns asking people to share using a hashtag a viable thing.
haasted··on Ask HN: Do I have a right to know who gave me a bad reference?
Ask a friend to act as a headhunter, and call each of the people on your list of references asking for their opinion.
haasted··on SourceForge and Slashdot Have Been Sold
Bitbucket is also quite affordable if you're willing to host on your own: https://www.atlassian.com/software/bitbucket/pricing?tab=hos...
haasted··on Is REST Best in a Microservices Architecture?
It seems to me that he just re-invented the enterprise service bus.
haasted··on Releasing a Commercial ASCII Roguelike, a Post-Mortem
May have missed it somewhere on your homepage, but are you planning a Mac version?
haasted··on Ask HN: I'm desperate to stay in Denmark. Anyone need a great web/ios dev?
This is true, but the unfortunate angle on that is that, with the exception of Varnish, none of those things were actually made IN Denmark, if I recall correctly.

Update: Seems DHH started RoR while studying at CBS.

Trifork (www.trifork.com) are pretty big in the app space in Denmark. Try applying there.

Edit: also, tradeshift have their development offices in CPH.

Yet another edit: A Danish blogger recently assembled a list of Danish startups. Try looking through that for a match.

haasted··on Some things beginners might not know about Sublime Text
Cmd + d selects the current word.

Subsequent Cmd + d presses will select the following instance of the word for editing. Makes it easy to do things such as renaming a local variable or changing both the opening and closing element of a HTML tag.

haasted··on Coinbase (YC S12) seeks to bring Bitcoin to the masses
According to the About page (https://coinbase.com/about#), yes.

The AllThingsD article linked from the page mentions that the company is part of the current Y Combinator class.

haasted··on Dear StackExchange: Thank You
I believe that http://programmers.stackexchange.com/ was introduced for this.

A lot of questions were migrated from SO to programmers when it started.

haasted··on Facebook Co-Founder Saverin Gives Up U.S. Citizenship Before IPO
I can confirm this.

Americans living in Denmark don't seem to worry too much about US tax. This is due to the insane taxation level we have here, which blows all other levels out of the water and makes calculating US tax very easy.

haasted··on Abrash on Valve: How I Got Here, What It's Like, and What I'm Doing

haasted··on Seriously, what’s up with old media not crediting bloggers?
Kudos on owning up to a big mistake, but the story about merely quoting a friend seems incredibly thin.
haasted··on The Unwelcome Mat - How Not to Attract Tourists
I haven't seen this in a US airport either.

I DID see something similar in a British one, though. Soldiers (not guards or police) patrolling the terminal with (to my eyes) very large guns. They also seemed to be in "spread out"-formation, keeping their distance from each other. A measure I would have thought was reserved where more caution was needed, e.g. street patrolling in a war-zone.

A rather unnerving sight, actually.

haasted··on Ask HN: Help a Hacker Out
Good luck! I hope you'll make a follow-up post to tell us how it all went at some later point.
haasted··on You’ll Download Physical Objects Sooner Than You Think
donated a 3D printer worth several hundred dollars for him to use at school.

Can a 3D printer really be acquired at this price level now? Does anyone have any model recommendations in this range?

haasted··on Do Great Things
A wake-up-message that gets published every few years. Here's the last one:

Still relevant, though.

haasted··on Made in America: Trend against outsourcing brings jobs back from China
“The average Chinese worker is about a quarter as productive as the average U.S. worker.”

This statement could use a bit of elaboration.

haasted··on A Depressive Journey With MongoDB
Also, if you accept the timeframe, go with only known technology. This is not a scenario for getting experience in a new platforms.
haasted··on Poll: Did you start company in 2011?
Yes. Became an independent freelance consultant.
haasted··on We've invented waterfall
The ridiculous aspect of this page is the quote "We've invented a development process tbat's completely unique in the industry.", after which they describe a process that looks entirely like waterfall. It's an entertaining fallacy.
haasted··on Ask HN: What books to read on developing mental models and increasing cognition?
I enjoyed Pragmatic Thinking and Learning (http://pragprog.com/book/ahptl/pragmatic-thinking-and-learni...). It's quite accessible, and doesn't feel too pop or new age.

If you're quick, you can get it rather cheaply during the Black Friday sale. (http://media.pragprog.com/newsletters/2011-11-21.html)

haasted··on Code-Breakers: Bletchley Park's Lost Heroes
Currently BBC iPlayer TV programmes are available to play in the UK only

Can anyone point to an alternative source?

haasted··on Tradeshift’s new $17m Russian round shows Valley’s power waning
And now they have taken it down entirely. Interesting.

haasted··on Ask HN: Resources for Learning OpenCL
Taking the question to a site like Stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/opencl) might get you more answers.
haasted··on Microsoft Releases Roslyn Project, Open Compiler API
The post should link to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/roslyn .
haasted··on Reasons to use Guava
Adding to #1 :

Using static imports to import the newHashMap() method can make the statement even shorter :

  final Map<String, Map<String, Integer>> lookup = newHashMap();
This serves to make the code far more readable.
haasted··on Why I'm learning to code - Roy Bahat, President at IGN Entertainment
It doesn't seem to be listed on HN-Books. Seems like quite an omission considering the number of articles that get posted from randsinrepose.
