Thai food in NJ/NY is in a sad state. The best Thai food in NYC doesn't hold a candle to an old lady making some gai gap tiam on the street of Chiang Mai.

Would totally love this as a library for a ruby project :)

I started an HN scraper like necubi at http://hackerjob.herokuapp.com. It's nowhere near done, but It's getting there! I'm a student at flatiron school in nyc and this is my first side project.

Why were we so fascinated by black backgrounds back in the 90's? I know I was guilty of it.

What about for self-taught programmers? Should I bother trying to apply as an intern?

I don't know if this is the right place to post this and I'm sorry if it's too intrusive.

I created a small python program to help job seekers to parse through all the jobs posted on Hacker News. It uses keywords like 'New York', 'NYC', 'SF' to only get the jobs in the area you want and it saves it all in a text file.

You can find the code here: https://github.com/sunwooz/Hacker-News-Job-Parser

By the way, I'm looking for a Junior Web Developer position in NYC! Please contact me if you are interested. yangsunwoo@gmail.com

Can someone tell me what exactly a 'port' is? Is it just rewriting all the code base in a target language?

Buy.com is such a generic name, it's hard to associate any kind of unique brand to it. Rakuten is only 7 letters long and is associated with a meaning? Yeah!

I was really looking forward to this! Would it be possible to have more than one person connected in a html5 mmo game?

My mom got cheaper price on the phone bills after she complained the price was too high. Maybe everyone should start complaining.

Man, so many jobs in CA. Where are all the NY jobs being posted?

Crap, didn't see that. Though, I also partially doubt they would actually enforce that rule.

What exactly is the data in the warhead links?

Now those kids will starve :(

Why do people hate Node so much?

Really interesting read. I've only ever built one feature websites so I never came across this problem, but it indeed is an awesome problem to have. "Lots of users, lots of features, what do we do?" must be such a fun problem to solve, especially when everyone is getting paid. I need a job :(.

If you click on, "What is Soundgecko", there's a forever looping background movie that looks really cool. It looks like it's downloading 2.8mb of the movie every time the previous 2.8mb finishes downloading, how does this work? Is it something like Node.js file streaming?

My grandfather escaped from North Korea during the 1950s by riding on top of trains and eventually riding a cargo boat into South Korea. Apparently the owner of the boat had to throw all the cargo overboard to accomodate everyone. He took a group of women from his village and escaped with his life, leaving behind his now-dead family. I am overwhelmed by the fact that if he didn't escape when he did, I would be in one of the prison camps doing hard labor and sorting through animal feces for undigested corn. Thanks for linking this article, now I have renewed my interest in the past and have requested family in South Korea to send me a copy of our family tree. Grandfather is now gone, and I wish he lived today, so I could say my thanks and hug him.

What do you guys think I should learn next? I've been studying javascript/ruby and I would like to diversify what I can make. I don't want to rush learning new languages, but it's interesting to learn about paradigms that certain languages enforce.

What's important to me(not in order):

1) Being an omni-platform developer 2) I only know two high-level languages, so learning a low level language will benefit me. 3) I want to get into Natural Language Processing and deep neural networks/AI, machine learning etc. 4) I'm a self-taught programmer, so the amount of good resources online/amazon is a big factor. 5) I need a fucking job. 6) I like making web applications/web games, and I would like to make native applications/games as well.

I love it. It was exactly what I was looking for.

I would like to visit solely because I have family in North Korea, and I would very much like to meet the separated half :(

Granted, I'm also an armchair doctor, but... The criteria for being diagnosed with ADD seems like it can be applied to every single human being on this planet. Am I wrong?

Aaron's death seems to be expediting a lot of political/social change. Do you think he foresaw this coming?

I wonder when we'll be able to explore the caverns on Mars.

It doesn't make sense to go to college when everything you learn in college can be learned in a book. Also, some subjects just can't be taught in classrooms-- Foreign languages for example, is pretty dismal in colleges. I've yet to meet someone who actually speaks a foreign language who studied for nearly 8 years in high school and college. Education is evolving and we shouldn't cling on to this archaic method of learning when there are plenty of better ways to learn.

There's tons of rape going on in the good ol' US of A. Why not fix it here? then we can go ahead and be a shining example for other countries to follow.

Isn't havok for industry level 3d games?

Ok, now lets try to fit every female and male of every species into that boat!

"Holds a nonstandard degree. For instance, if the physics-related speaker has a degree in engineering, not physics; if the medical researcher does not have an M.D. or Ph.D.; if the affiliated university does not have a solid reputation. This is not snobbery; if a scientist truly wishes to make an advance in their chosen field, they’ll make an effort to engage with other scholars"

What? Not having a degree in something disallows you to "make an effort to engage with other scholars"? Just saying you're not snobbery does not make it "not snobbery".

what would they detect in the raw data if they scooped up a colony of extremophiles?
