Title: Trying to complete all projects from Martyr2’s Mega Project List.<p>Note: If you fork this repo to solve these projects in any language of your choice, please remove all my code, and start from scratch; you'll benefit a lot. Do not send pull requests.<p>Some details:<p>I will use Python to solve these. Why? Because I want to learn the language quickly. I have no interest in making games, so I'm excluding those from the list below. I'm not interested in networking, so I might skip all (or some) of them. The projects will not be made in the order posted. I may not be able to complete all of them. My method of solving them may not be the best. I will link to each project that I complete. Some will be in this same repo, some bigger ones will have dedicated repos.<p>To get started, fork this repo, delete this README and rename README-scratch.md to README.md.<p>Note: I have't read any problem while creating this repo. I'll read them as I start solving the problems. Hence, there is no prior filtering of problems. Keeps things spicy. :) Upvote:

Title: Two years ago I started Social Print Studio as a little design company. We have been able to make a name for ourselves in the world of photo printing. We have many repeat customers, some large corporate clients, and growing six-figure monthly revenues. Things are going well and we have a strategy to compete directly with major players the field and really take the company to the next level. Problem is that we turn down massive opportunities everyday and executing our strategy has been a huge problem due to our lack of technical and managerial skills.<p>We are just a group of friends who got in over our heads. We have no network and are having trouble scaling. We are looking for a CTO or solid lead web engineer, someone with solid marketing experience, and maybe even a new CEO. We want to grow this thing huge, are ready to make bold moves, and we want to have the right experience on the team so we can do things right. Craigslist recruiting is not cutting it.<p>This is our cry for help. If you want to come work with us to build and grow the company 10-100x in the next couple years... Whether you are an engineer, designer, marketeer, or know someone who is... please get in touch. Now is the time, we have some amazing opportunities and really want to push amazing work.<p>please get in touch directly: [email protected] @benjaminlotan on twitter<p>ps. we are in San Francisco.

Title: Hi there,<p>I am close to finishing my book and keen to get it published. I figured it would be easier to self publish (could be a wrong assertion), and wondered if anyone had any advice? Have you done it before? Anything to avoid? Anything I should definitely do? Any good sites to promote it on?<p>N.B. The book isn&#x27;t a technical book. It is a comedy book set out in the style of a blog.<p>thanks! Upvote:

Title: Hey Hacker News,<p>I&#x27;ve run out of places to look so I hope you guys can help me with this. I would like to:<p>1. Securely login to my various websites 2. Securely lock and unlock my MacBook Pro.<p>Easy, right?<p>Except I&#x27;m quadriplegic. I use DragonDictate[1] to input text, and invoke keyboard shortcuts verbally, and SwitchXS[2] with a single button switch[3] (to move the mouse around and switch between applications etc). With these I have nearly total control over my laptop.<p>I use a password manager and once I&#x27;ve spoken the master password out loud the rest of my password challenges are automated. This is necessary, but not so secure as my laptop is then just open to anyone who picks it up. But I can&#x27;t password lock my whole laptop because OS X requires that password before it will load up any applications, and I can&#x27;t put a password in without my apps.<p>I was thinking of getting a YubiKey, but for that I would need to touch the sensor on the key to activate everything, but as you might imagine the whole quadriplegic thing gets in the way of this!<p>Some other sort of hardware master key, maybe? What do you guys think?<p>A word on the adversary: I want my personal information secure from casual passers-by who after having a quick peck on the keyboard would more than likely give up; I&#x27;m not looking for PRISM dodging security here :-)<p>Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated!<p>[1]: http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nuance.co.uk&#x2F;for-individuals&#x2F;by-product&#x2F;dragon-for-mac&#x2F;dragon-dictate&#x2F;index.htm [2]: http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.assistiveware.com&#x2F;product&#x2F;switchxs [3]: http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ablenetinc.com&#x2F;Assistive-Technology&#x2F;Switches&#x2F;Buddy-Button-and-Big-Buddy Upvote:

Title: Having <i>Showdead</i> enabled in m HN profile, I see comments and submissions from banned users as well as those which are flagged by mods and HN users. Many users, unaware of being banned, continue to post to HN. Over the last 3 months I have noticed a significant uptick in the number of banned &#x27;regular&#x27; users (as opposed to spammers, SEO bots and so forth).<p>Almost every day I see worthwhile comments and submissions made in good faith that have been automatically flagged. Now, I know that on a site called &#x27;Hacker News&#x27; informing users that their username or their IP has been banned or restricted is asking for trouble, but on the other hand there&#x27;s a lot of valuable content posted in good faith that is being hidden, and the amount seems to be increasing.<p>Can this policy be reviewed or clarified in some fashion?

In the past, clicking the &#x27;sign in with Google&#x27; button with authenticate against my Google account and immediately log me in.

Title: Email from Apple<p>Apple Developer Website Update<p>Last Thursday, an intruder attempted to secure personal information of our registered developers from our developer website. Sensitive personal information was encrypted and cannot be accessed, however, we have not been able to rule out the possibility that some developers’ names, mailing addresses, and&#x2F;or email addresses may have been accessed. In the spirit of transparency, we want to inform you of the issue. We took the site down immediately on Thursday and have been working around the clock since then.<p>In order to prevent a security threat like this from happening again, we’re completely overhauling our developer systems, updating our server software, and rebuilding our entire database. We apologize for the significant inconvenience that our downtime has caused you and we expect to have the developer website up again soon. Upvote:

Title: A few months ago, I spent a couple days reverse engineering the Snapchat protocol and wrote a quick and dirty library to use it in your own PHP apps:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tlack&#x2F;snaphax<p>Today Snapchat has written me requesting that I take it offline:<p><pre><code> Hi Thomas, I&#x27;m writing to ask that you remove Snaphax from github and no longer publish or distribute it. Snapchat does not permit third party software to access our API and we consider Snaphax to be an unlawful circumvention device under 17 U.S.C. § 1201(a)(1). Please confirm that it has been removed by end of day Monday, July 22nd. Thank you, Micah Schaffer Snapchat, Inc. </code></pre> I haven&#x27;t had much time to really finish Snaphax (and I doubt I ever will) but I strongly support the idea that third party software should be able to interact with the services I use every day.<p>I am under the impression that reverse engineering is still protected under fair use doctrines. Is this the case? How should I respond, if at all? Upvote:

Title: Hi everyone<p>The last few days have been absolutely incredible -- over $3.5 million in the first 40 hours. We’ve broken records, we’ve attracted the attention of the world, and we’re marching closer and closer to bringing the Ubuntu Edge to life. $32 million is a huge number, and we’ve never danced around this fact. To get there, we’re going to need your help to bring family, friends, fans, and followers to the campaign.<p>This crowdfunding process has already provided us with a lot of great feedback, especially about our perks -- and we’ve been listening to it all. You told us you want more opportunities to get the Ubuntu Edge at a lower contribution level, so we went back to our spreadsheets and came up with a solution. Today we’re changing our perk levels. We’ll offer a limited number of phones at each level, and as each tier runs out the next ones will be made available, so act quickly to get the best deal!<p>You’ll only see the first few levels on the campaign page today, but continuing our habit of openness and transparency we want to share the whole plan with you.<p>Hundreds of you have already contributed $830 for an Ubuntu Edge, but don’t worry. We’ll refund the difference at the end of the campaign so you won’t lose out. We’ll contact you all directly with more information.<p>We need to keep the campaign momentum going. Please help by sharing the news and, of course, keep pledging!<p>The Ubuntu Edge team<p>edit: Link to project: http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.indiegogo.com&#x2F;projects&#x2F;ubuntu-edge Upvote:

Title: The recent &quot;I&#x27;m coding 180 websites&#x27; post inspired me to get a group of friends to commit to set aside some time for study hall to work on things once a week--hopefully more often. I used Steve&#x27;s OsConn talk (google Steve Yegge Quits)to help show the value of study hall hours. Curious to know if anyone has heard an update on his goal of study hall hours everyday for an hour to learn math. Surprised there isn&#x27;t a follow up talk, post or rant to that talk. Or have you had any success setting aside set time to work on side projects or just to learn something? Upvote:

Title: Watup Hackernews,<p>We have created a new type of search engine that searches on the full source code of webpages, not just the on-page text. It&#x27;s called NerdyData (nerdydata.com) and we&#x27;re launching today!<p>Our search engine is different from search engines you&#x27;ve used before. Traditional search engines are geared towards providing answers, whereas our goal is to give you the best list of results for a query. Our crawler has visited over 140 million homepages and collected terabytes of HTML, Javascript, and CSS code. We&#x27;ve also designed several search interfaces that allow anybody to query against the source code of webpages, or download a list of sites containing a specific term.<p>We even offer a search interface specifically for SEO&#x27;s and marketers that allow you to search within specific HTML tags like meta descriptions and meta keywords.<p>About us: We&#x27;re two 23 year olds who recently graduated from Stony Brook University in New York, and we are ridiculously passionate about making search better for our fellow nerds out there.<p>If you&#x27;d like to know more, you can email me at [email protected]<p>Thank you so much for you time!

Title: My story:<p>I founded this a couple of years ago because my school (I was 11&#x2F;12 at the time) had recently purchased a library system which was horrible and ugly. I thought it could be made much better, so I coded for months on end to get this product working.<p>I submitted this to a TV competition on national TV and got the opportunity to pitch this product in front of 500,000 viewers. I received a bursary of €2,000 from the show and used that money to grow the business.<p>Currently the business is thriving and is growing rapidly.<p>I&#x27;d really appreciate any feedback you might have.<p>Thanks,<p>Shane Upvote:

Title: I am designing an information system and one of the requirements is to keep sensitive data encrypted in the database, with a possible intruder being unable to decrypt them. Encrypting everything in the application with a key and then storing to the database is unacceptable, since all it does is add a little difficulty for an intruder -once he gets the key he gets the data too.<p>Passwords are kept hashed, so the password provided in the login gets hashed and if it matches the stored hashed password the user is authenticated, otherwise not. The password is not stored in cleartext and cannot be retrieved, but of course can be reset if the user forgets it. So far so good but what happens with other sensitive data that I need store, as API keys, cc data etc? These cannot be encrypted with the user password, because if the user forgets the password these become useless.<p>What are some best practises to keep sensitive data encrypted on the database, and reassuring that after a system break-in the attackers won&#x27;t be able to get the data unencrypted? I want to design and implement a solution as secure as it can be and would like to hear thoughts, ideas and experience by other startups and engineers. I have not found anything really useful in this direction, apart from references to proprietary solutions that promise to do anything on some magical way (no comments!) Upvote:

Title: There has been a noticeable increase in political topics since I joined HN a few years back. The HN Guidelines lead off with the following:<p>&quot;Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they&#x27;re evidence of some interesting new phenomenon.&quot;<p>Some of the stories posted are indeed of specific interest to community. Very few are evidence of some &quot;interesting new phenomenon&quot;. Most are a rehashing of the same old topics.<p>One of the most admirable things about hackers is their ability to accomplish great things without - or in spite of government. The recent preoccupation is a bit sad. Great minds could be focused on better things.<p>Any thoughts on solutions to this concern? Yes - one would be to ignore political posts and move on to others of interest. But based upon comments I have seen by numerous respected HN members, I am not the only one seeing this. Any thoughts on how filter&#x2F;tagging&#x2F;flagging might apply? Upvote:

Title: I have absolutely no idea why I am still posting this right now.<p>Maybe I am just less resilient than most people. Maybe I am sick mentally. Maybe I just don&#x27;t belong.<p>For the past 20 years, my life has been a joke. I live in B.C, Canada. A few years ago, I traveled 21 hours by plane to see what my father looked like. He didn&#x27;t want me, didn&#x27;t even call me his son. My 9 cousins and 3 aunts&#x2F;uncles don&#x27;t know I exist. My grandmother died without knowing I existed. My mother and I have moved 30 times, and I&#x27;ve been doing my best to help provide for our lives.<p>I made the first big mistake of my life and gave up a full scholarship to law school because I wouldn&#x27;t be able to provide for my mother. I dropped out of college after 1 year so she (being at such an old age) could have a decent standard of living, and see her happy for once in her life.<p>Then the second big mistake. I took a massive mortgage and dumped all my savings into this apartment, simply because I knew it was my mother&#x27;s lifelong dream to have a place of her own and move no longer.<p>29 days ago, I made a third big mistake. I quit my full-time web development job, because the PM (who had authority because of the messed up hierarchy of the company) decided I was not 100% committed to the job because I was not pulling 80 hours a week (like nobody else in the company) and did not bother to update my LinkedIn profile while I was there. It was impossible to reason&#x2F;discuss these things with him, and so I quit. I quit with a massive mortgage and a mother to feed despite knowing full well it would be a bad idea. I quit a job without having another one lined up. I quit because my ego couldn&#x27;t take being taken advantage of.<p>&lt;--Post too long, whole post here: http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pastebin.com&#x2F;LyabB2gB--&gt; Upvote:

Title: For as long as I can remember I have been a super procrastinator. However, I&#x27;m also pretty smart which helps me fake it so that no one else notices. I think part of my problem might be that I grew up with an entitlement complex as I was valedictorian, near perfect SATs etc. and I never did shit in high school.<p>Now that I&#x27;m in the real world it&#x27;s starting to really gnaw at me. I make $130k as a 21 year old and I probably put in 3 hours of real work a day. I&#x27;m a good enough programmer that I can bullshit my way through most stuff and at this point I think people are starting to realize that I&#x27;m a bit slower than I could be. I still push out a lot of code, but I secretly spend 7-8 hours a day doing bullshit at work (reading online, games, etc). I know that I&#x27;ve been given a gift and that I&#x27;m a fucking idiot for wasting it, but I&#x27;ve just become a chronic procrastinator and it sucks.<p>I could be changing the world but instead I&#x27;m putting in the bare minimum and no matter what trick or method I try I can&#x27;t seem to beat it. I&#x27;ve never had a strong willpower to begin with and now it seems to be getting worse (looking back I wish I played more sports).<p>Any advice on how you taught yourself to focus on tasks, build willpower, and get shit done would be helpful. Although, I wonder if I really fucked my brain&#x2F;habits up so much that I&#x27;ll never reach my full capacity. I&#x27;ve been like this for the past 6-7 years and it doesn&#x27;t seem to be going away anytime soon. My dad is also very similar in that he&#x27;s smart enough to bullshit through life but he only works at 10-20% of his full capacity and he never completes anything.<p>Help!? Upvote:

Title: I never left slashdot. I just stopped going there. HN was a big part of that. I wanted my tech news to be thought provoking, funny and innocent. I had plenty of sources for &quot;real world&quot; news and I wanted tech to be an island away from that.<p>Slashdot became more about the legal issues surrounding technology than about technology. It had a militant, fanatical vibe that soured the taste of its brilliant gems.<p>HN is starting to feel like a place where activists hang out. The topics are certainly important and worth discussing - but the tone takes away from the lightness and fun of technology. It&#x27;s like eating cheese and drinking orange juice at the same time. The two are good on their own, but they don&#x27;t go well together. Upvote:

This isn&#x27;t a protocol flaw in ICMPv6. </code></pre> I have no idea who manipulated this title, and why. HN provides no way for me to figure this out. There is not even any visible mark showing that this title was changed at all.<p>To summarize:<p>1) Some HN admin is able to edit other peole&#x27;s submission titles.

Title: Hello All, I need a bit of advice as my research on google has not cleared my doubts. I am based out of Hong Kong as a C++ and Java developer (10 years exp) and my company (an Investment Bank) has decided to move my role to New York. I have persuaded my bosses to relocate me to NYC and they have agreed. Though the HR talks have not yet happened regarding salaries, i would like to prepare and set mine and their&#x27;s expectations.<p>After a lot of research on google&#x2F;glassdoor&#x2F;etc, i have come to the following conclusions: 1. I might not get the best market salaries (Asian&#x2F;NYC being high cost center&#x2F;non native English speaker&#x2F;first timer to USA&#x2F;etc) 2. I should range my salary expectations in a range of 130K-150K just to be safe in the zone and not miss out on the job. Is this fair? 3. I have no option but to work in NYC and live in NJ. It seems that this is the sanest thing to do. 4. Taxes being high compared in NYC, I can safely assume 40% of my salary being cut. So that leaves me in a range of 78K-90K after tax. Assuming my rental will be around 2k and monthly expenses around 1k, that would leave me with 42K-54K. This i believe should be more than enough. 5. My life-work balance might go for a toss given that longer hours are the norm in NYC (Wall Street). Am i right? 6. Given that i will be moving to USA on an L1 B visa? (not a senior management guy) i can apply for a GC (as in Green Card, not the other GC) as soon as i join and get it in around 2-3 years. Am i right?<p>My preparation for my move has not yet started and i am sure that i will have more questions. Since i have no one in USA (friends&#x2F;family&#x2F;etc) i am completely reliant on YC.<p>Please let me know on the above points and if any of my assumptions are wrong. Also please feel free to advice me on anything that you think would be a appropriate.<p>Warm regards from Hong Kong... Upvote:

Title: This March I bought a MacBook Pro (MD101HN&#x2F;A), and without any doubt, I can say that it was the happiest day of my life.<p>Last week I noticed some performance issues, and suddenly my MacBook stopped booting. I tried safebooting, nvram reset, disk repair using disk utility, and finally I realized that my Macinotosh HD gave up on me.<p>I thought, so what, I got my MacBook covered under Apple 1 Year Warranty. What I didn&#x27;t know a week ago was that, it was going to be a nightmare.<p>I live in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. Even though it&#x27;s a small town, but I checked up on Apple website, and Apple has listed a service center in Jodhpur. I tried to contact on the given number, but it said that number is invalid.<p>I still didn&#x27;t gave up, I tried to contact on the service hotline number provided by Apple in India, but they never pick up the phone.<p>Finally, I checked my MacBook Packaging, to see if I can find any email id they provided, I was happy to see that they did ([email protected]), they also provided a telephone number.<p>I was shocked, when I came to know that it was an Invalid email id. On top of that the phone number they provided was not correct (the man who received the phone said to contact on another number).<p>I am helpless here in India, I don&#x27;t know what to do, as Apple Service is total chaos here, there is no man responsible to contact for Apple Service in India.<p>I quoted above that &quot;I bought a MacBook Pro (MD101HN&#x2F;A), and without any doubt, I can say that it was the happiest day of my life&quot;. But today, as of this moment, I feel totally opposite.<p>If there is an Apple Employee reading this post, I want to know why is Apple even selling products in India, if they cant even provide after sales support.<p>I don&#x27;t know where else to ask for help so, dear fellow hackers, I can&#x27;t afford to lose my MacBook Pro, just because I am in India.

Title: In response to a story currently on the front page titled &quot;FB is the Only Other Platform Used by 20% of College Students. Join Us!&quot; [1]<p>Do you actually want to hire people who are going to fall for dishonest linkbait like that?<p>YC companies, I understand that you get to post job ads on HN and they automatically show up on the front page. Great. But please, show some respect to the people you are trying to recruit, and show some respect for this exclusive privilege PG gives you.<p>If you read the full post[1] you&#x27;ll see that what they are referring to is the college students at a single university. At this university, apparently, 20% of students signed up at launch, and 30% of those use it daily. Making it more like 6% of students, at one university, who use their app. Probably a little more if you count weekly or monthly users. But still. That, in comparison to what the headline claims (20% of college students, everywhere) is ridiculously inaccurate.<p>And also, what about Google? Way, way more than 20% of college students use Gmail, Docs, etc. And what about things like Craigslist? It is even claimed that their app can tell you &quot;exactly what you need to get done every day, with no input&quot;. No input is qualitatively different than &quot;very little input, but it&#x27;s really easy and quick.&quot;<p>You can, and should, do better. In addition to misleading people being a mean thing to do (even when effective), it doesn&#x27;t do you any good to mislead <i>your own future employees</i>, anyway. Geez.<p>---<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=6269664 Upvote:

Title: I manage expenses for my company on an AMEX card. People I work with that want to expense something over X amount come get my card, make the purchase, return the card and forward the invoice. Each invoice is a unique snowflake. Some contain data that can be scraped, others direct to you a website which may or may not be able to be scraped. Design changes break the scrapers. They may or may not support a billing email and if not, things get even more muddled.<p>The same fragility problem that REST solved remains running rampant in how businesses invoice each other.<p>What if each business allowed you to provide an end point to which they would POST when an invoice dropped, using a free and open standard? Wouldn&#x27;t this cut an accounting departments&#x27; head count down significantly?<p>The lack of adoption to take seems like the answer to my question...<p>As a SaaS business, why would I build an end point when I can sign up for recurly or similar and just auto email invoices?<p>As a small business receiving invoices, this is something that takes 20 minutes a week to type in.<p>As a medium to large business, it gets to the point where I have 50 invoice scraping scripts and am feeling the pain. I guess at this point the answer is to &quot;hiring another book keeper&quot; but it bugs me that an open standard and a simple POST would automate the whole shooting match.<p>Are other businesses doing this &quot;right&quot; in a way I&#x27;ve missed? Is there an opportunity here for software to eat a bit more of the world? Perhaps simply publish an open source standard and see if people run with it?<p>[EDIT: Tried to use less words to explain the problem] Upvote:

Title: Guys, I am in Syria(specifically in Damascus). Seems war is rolling out. Most of the people are moving to border regions but I cant and I am a programmer worked as a remote dev for an Australian startup. But I am not sure how long I will be able to work living in Syria. I want move to Europe specially in Germany as the startup scene is booming in Berlin. So can you guys give me suggestion of legal way to move in Germany as an asylum and will I be able to work if I can move. I went through google but couldn&#x27;t find much information. And I will be happy to have contact with startups that are hiring dev. I have couple of years backend development experience with Python(Django),LAMP,Node.js and some unix skill. Thanks in advance.

Title: Hello Everyone,<p>TL;DR<p>I am offering interview as a service (taking first round on your behalf) for technical roles (0-8 yrs exp) for $150 each. Would you be interested?<p>Generally (assumption) even after the resume has been filtered by HR folks (who are mostly non-tech), you end up with 1 out of 5 candidate cleared after the telephonic rounds. This is definitely time consuming as developers are getting involved here and their hours are getting wasted.<p>If you do the calculation (assumption here), so to hire 1 candidate, you end up wasting 15-20 hours (at least) of developers time on unsuccessful interviews.<p>My proposal:<p>I will study your company, team and requirements beforehand.<p>Once you have identified a candidate, you can let me know and I will conduct the first round and give you a feedback.<p>My assumption again, this will improve the ratio to 1 out of 2. My confidence is that it will be far better than 0.5<p>Who can I interview: Technical (hands on) roles for software development (for startups and bigger corporations). Experience 0-8 yrs.<p>What can I interview: CS fundamentals (OS, systems, networking, DB, Algorithms, Data Structures etc.), Technologies: C&#x2F;C++, Ruby, RoR, HTML, Javascript.<p>I believe that cs fundamentals are the key though.<p>Pricing: $150 per interview (payable by paypal or direct account transfer to bank of america)<p>I think this proposal suits small to medium sized startups.<p>About me: I have BS (IIT G) and MS (USC) in computer science with more than 8 years of work experience. 2-3 years on RoR.<p>I have given tons of interview and taken tons of them too during my career.<p>You can checkout more about me at: http:&#x2F;&#x2F;shail2.co Contact me at: [email protected], if interested.

Title: [Email sent to myOpenID users]<p>Hello,<p>I wanted to reach out personally to let you know that we have made the decision to end of life the myOpenID service. myOpenID will be turned off on February 1, 2014.<p>In 2006 Janrain created myOpenID to fulfill our vision to make registration and login easier on the web for people. Since that time, social networks and email providers such as Facebook, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn and Yahoo! have embraced open identity standards. And now, billions of people who have created accounts with these services can use their identities to easily register and login to sites across the web in the way myOpenID was intended.<p>By 2009 it had become obvious that the vast majority of consumers would prefer to utilize an existing identity from a recognized provider rather than create their own myOpenID account. As a result, our business focus changed to address this desire, and we introduced social login technology. While the technology is slightly different from where we were in 2006, I’m confident that we are still delivering on our initial promise – that people should take control of their online identity and are empowered to carry those identities with them as they navigate the web.<p>For those of you who still actively use myOpenID, I can understand your disappointment to hear this news and apologize if this causes you any inconvenience. To reduce this inconvenience, we are delaying the end of life of the service until February 1, 2014 to give you time to begin using other identities on those sites where you use myOpenID today.<p>Speaking on behalf of Janrain, I truly appreciate your past support of myOpenID.<p>Sincerely, Larry Upvote:

Title: I didn&#x27;t know what I wanted to do before going to college at Penn State. I just knew that I had to go to college. I was always interested computers so I ended majoring in Information Sciences and Technology. About halfway through when I actually got to take some programming classes I discovered that I had a passion for software. I went to my counselor and inquired about switching over to CS. Unfortunately, almost nothing from my major would transfer and I had to pretty much start over. As someone paying for college myself this really wasn&#x27;t an option. I continued on with IST in the Design and Development option.<p>I ended becoming the first employee at Bay Area startup. They were a bit desperate and I convinced them I could make their Android apps. I did and they are both highly rated. I also made one of my own that ended up getting featured on Google Play and receiving a lot of press. I have a bit of knack for it but I am so bored with GUIs and UIs. I want to work on harder problems and not just use other peoples libraries. The problem is that my lack of knowledge limits my thinking. I want to fix this. I am torn between going back to school for another BS in CS, pursuing a MS in CS, or teaching myself from things like MIT Open Courseware and Udacity.<p>I am not really worried about getting a job. This is about gaining knowledge. Although having a &quot;real&quot; CS would certainly help keep me from being pigeon holed as an app developer and open a few more doors. I do think that going back to school would be the quickest route to gaining the knowledge I want. I am just worried that I wouldn&#x27;t get into a top school and I don&#x27;t know if I should try to do a BS, MS, or just take classes. I really don&#x27;t want another $50k in debt either. Especially when things like the Georgia Tech online MS CS is coming out for $7k.<p>So, what is the best way for a proven and largely self taught developer to take their knowledge to the next level?

Title: I&#x27;m one of the organizers of PennApps, which takes place in our university building. Someone left a laptop unattended, and it was stolen. This is unprecedented - we&#x27;ve never had any thefts in the previous 6 iterations of the hackathon. However, it&#x27;s a lot bigger this time around (1000+ students), and people are a bit more spread out. We have security measures in places and guards around the building, but there are definitely entrances to the building where people can get in when someone is leaving, without having access.<p>My question is - what is the appropriate response to something like this happening? We want to help the person who had their computer stolen have a positive experience, but we also don&#x27;t want to create adverse incentives. Upvote:

Title: Hey guys,<p>I&#x27;m a longtime reader of hacker news. I&#x27;m looking for a technical cofounder. I know this sounds bad but hear me out. I think a little bit about my background would be helpful. I graduated from UCSD in 2005 with my degree in computer science. I worked for a couple of years, mainly with PHP, before I applied to medical school. Currently I am a first-year resident at UCSF Fresno. After the year is over I will be heading to USC to start my radiology residency. I still try to code every once in a while and I know some Ruby on Rails, HTML&#x2F;CSS, and JavaScript.<p>With all the time I&#x27;ve spent in the health care system, I seen a lot of opportunities to start a company that would solve some of the problems I&#x27;ve seen in the hospital.<p>Many of the problems in healthcare involve two systems that need data from each other. For example there is a machine that measures pulmonary function and will generate a PDF report. This PDF report has values that need to be entered into an EMR&#x2F;EHR. This is time-consuming for some of the doctors and doctors should not be wasting their time with data entry. There is a stack of these reports and 10 minutes are spent entering in data and another one minute is spent interpreting the data.<p>I&#x27;m fairly certain I can write a program to do this and make an extra $500 per month from the hospital but starting a company around this idea seems to be a better option. With that being said, I&#x27;d rather have an engineer handle the coding and I would handle talking to hospitals and making sales. Many hospitals in the area need this sort of work done and I know we could generate income in this sector.<p>I&#x27;m looking specifically for somebody in California who can spend 2-3 hours per day coding on these projects. This person would probably be working on their own projects in their spare time. If this sounds like you please drop me an email at [email protected] and we can talk some more. Upvote:
