Whether it's a YC company or not doesn't matter. There are now over 250 YC companies, and 60 in this current batch. They are _all hiring_. You have a choice.

There are over 300 startups funded through Angel List this past year (a number of them YC'ers). They are all looking for engineers as well.

Google is looking for thousands of engineers, Yelp a couple hundred(pre IPO), Zynga a couple hundred (pre IPO), Facebook a bunch (pre -IPO), Twitter a couple hundred (pre-IPO). And, they are all competing for the same talent pool... you.

Not only that, but if it's a current YC company, you know they just got around $180k in money right off the bat, so they have a bit of something in the bank to pay you.

The Cohort Analysis
That's my reason too. I use it on Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, and MS Windows. I like TextMate for some tasks better than Vim, but my ratio of time spent in both is still 9:1 (Vim:TextMate).
C# is the lingua franca of .NET so you would be best off studying that first. It's still a simple language, especially if you know C++. I recommend "Pro Visual C++ 2005 for C# Developers" (it maps C# concepts to C++ but you can go the other way), "The C# Programming Language 4th Edition (with annotations)" and "C# in Depth". Then, of course, just solving problems with the language.

Next you want to get the latest edition of "CLR via C#" to get a very in depth look at how the CLR works.

Once you're comfortable with C# and the CLR, you can pretty much figure out how the major frameworks must work. For instance, you can understand about 90% of ASP.NET just by learning two classes and two simple interfaces.

Oh, if you really want to accelerate your C# learning, try writing code without using `if`, `while`, `for`, `switch` and `goto` (obviously).
Arguably, hyperlinks are footnotes.
I can't argue with that! I meant that they typically know when staff is being let go/outsourced/etc. before their team does.
Love the app.
another suggestion:
add airport codes.
Some of us world traveling nerds think in airport codes, and it should be pretty easy to add.

Also, the "delete" function looks like a red square in my chrome version, which puzzled me (although I see that you meant a red X in my Firefox)
It is vast. The libraries and frameworks are being added at a dizzying pace by MS. Not all are good. Do you have a particular stack you wish to learn? Choices are web, desktop Winforms, desktop WPF, silverlight, jquery, SOA.

Knuth's literate programming is an excellent idea.

The literate programming examples I have seen lack suitable modern integrated development environments. The idea of interweaving source code and commentary in a book style has few advantages over Javadocs, Doxygen, and the like. And they are more work for the developer.

The concept of coupling comments to code is a good one. What we need to do is loosely source code to its comments using an intelligent editor. Mute the music and watch the end of the following video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3QqjhzhnAw&t=1m41s

Essentially, a dual panel editor. On one side is source code, on the other are the comments linked to each line in the source code. You could still generate the wiki-like interwoven documentation, but you could also generate the documentation as a single document (without source code).

Further, since the documentation editor is independent of the source code editor, the documentation could be written using a simple mark-up. You could also embed business requirements within the commentary to suggest the exact business requirement being met by the code (using linked text and a single source; update the business requirement and you know what code needs to change). Conversely, formal technical documentation (user guides, administration manuals) could link directly to the source code commentary (a single source, once again).

I'd be interested in reading the disadvantages to such a dual editor system.
Where does plain old code reusability (which everyone in the software industry agrees is good) end and "libraries" begin? The jQuery library is just a bunch of open source JavaScript code. If you can distribute your own JavaScript code with your web creations, then you can distribute jQuery, and even if the jQuery team breaks things you can keep using an old version. Are you suggesting it shouldn't be relied upon because someone else wrote it, or are you against code reuse in general?
What are you using to determine user location?
Great idea. My business partner is in HK, China. Another in Germany. I am in the US. This will come in very handy to coordinate meetings between us
Was this intentionally recursive?
I see some deeper meaning in this - in that it is an explicit way to show how communication can be parsed down so simply. Many writers/communicators want to extrapolate every thought into word tombs - when they can very often be summated in something as small as "I made tea." Beautiful execution, here, on getting me (and hopefully others) to think about writing/communicating more simplistically - and then actually doing it.

Otherwise stated, "This makes me want to communicate more simply."
I am by no means an expert but I do take care of some high availability systems. I could take a quick look at your arch. if you want me to.
This author is way too easily impressed. Being a web cam girl (while actually being a guy) and asking lonely guys for money is not genius.

How to convert M4V to MP4 with M4V to MP4 Converter for Mac?
I have to disagree with number 4:

4. Don’t have hand outs

unless we qualify it some. In certain cases, introductions, solving a problem etc then the handouts may be a problem. But when briefing someone, especially someone who is busy a handout allows them to quickly find information they are looking for so that they can request clarification/give you feedback - which is the point of the meeting.

Tufte makes this argument much better than I can, it is his field, in the essay The Cognitive Style of Powerpoint http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/books_pp

but overall i think it's pretty good advice, I especially like point 2 - avoid home team, away team dynamics.

For techies, many presentations come with demos. If you running a demo:

* Don't swing your mouse cursor around. It is very distracting. Keep it still unless you are really doing something with it.

* Tools such as OmniDazzle helps. But don't overdo it and don't use it if you can't master it

* Sometimes it's useful to highlight a piece of text by selecting it with your mouse cursor so the audience know what you are referring to (OmniDazzle helps)

* If you have a scripted demo, do screenshots in powerpoint and annotate it as a backup. If you don't have a scripted demo.. well you aren't prepared to do a demo

* Demo with data/scenarios that the audience can relate to or understand.

* Bring your own device for connectivity, be it a HSDPA modem or a phone that lets you tether.

* If things go wrong, move on, quickly. Don't try and retry.

* Nobody can read fine print in on your demo screen. Many web browsers can zoom nicely with the + key.

* Watch out for the screen resolution of the projector (it might be too low or too high and not match your application's assumptions).

* Look and talk to the audience. Not to your laptop.

* Demos are often easier to do than presentations if you are a techie. After all, you built it or you know the details.

Real estate transfer tax
It’s the property transfer tax that is implemented by states, local municipalities on the right to transfer real property within the jurisdiction of law. Tax can be either as small as a 1 % and can range up to 5% large tax in various cities of Pakistan according to Sweet homes.
In some cities of Pakistan there are special tax rules that implements because of their growths such cities include Gawadhar which is totally tax free area. The reason for that is that it’s currently launched and Govt. is trying hard to make it the world’s top business hub.
In Pakistan the law that implements on property transfer is “The Transfer of Property Act, 1882”.
Transfer of property is done normally through Sale Deed, but if you purchase ready property in Defense Housing Authority (DHA) or in a housing society where sale deed is not executed for transfer therefore and allotment letter from DHA is issued for that purpose. Many people first try to execute the sell agreement which doesn’t have such value as much transfer agreement owns. Such selling agreement to sell does not transfer title to a property in the name of vendee who is buying it. The sale agreement with requisite stamp duty and it must be registered with the relevant sub-registrar at your local allotment offices. After registration of the Sale agreement with the sub-registrar you must assure that it is maintained by patwari.

Value, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. I just don't see any value in attacking a suggestion without adding anything substantive to the conversation.

The idea isn't a 100% guaranteed winner but it seems vary viable, with potential to go big if executed well. If you don't see the potential, move on or discuss what others might be missing.

Performance differences between Gunicorn, mod_wsgi, uWSGI et. al. is a red herring. The difference between them will be negligible when you run a real application on them. Use a server which stable, fits your way of working, and is convenient to use.
Great story.

Interestingly, I don't think the "privacy" issue is the big change in the future described, but rather the fact that lawsuits are so much more automated. That's the real change that makes the story "possible".

Just come and talk to us. The first step is just letting us know you exist, and then why we should be excited about you.

It will be a lot easier for you to convince Sophomores and Juniors to come on as interns than getting a graduating Senior at first. On the student's part it is much less of a risk, and besides, staying around for a summer in Pittsburgh isn't too bad. Once you get some people to intern for you then you can get some name recognition on campus and start recruiting more seriously.

Well that's what I think anyways.

Startups and design or: How I stopped worrying and love startups
What interested me more than anything was actually having a journalist out somewhere reporting. This kind of reporting can be somewhat rare in this day and age.
I never knew TechCrunch did stuff like that so I was certainly impressed.
John Siracusa had a great point about Merlin. There was some criticism that a "productivity expert" not being able to ship is quite paradoxical. However, as Siracusa stated, the reason Merlin has so much to say on the subject is because he's spent so much time struggling with his own failures in that area. Someone who's trying to lose weight isn't going to learn much from someone who's 80 pounds and has been their entire life, because they've never really faced the struggle of ever losing the weight themselves. On the other hand, Jared from Subway may be an apt subject to learn from because he has faced the path and difficulty of obesity and continues to fight it.

That, combined with the ADD he is diagnosed with, means that I find reading his advice and loving it while still knowing that shipping stuff for him is an extremely difficult thing to do completely acceptable.
So you're looking for partisan reporting that more closely follows your own opinion? There is two sides to a lot of stuff and its certainly interesting to hear this side of the story.
Feeling the pressure from LLVM? It's programmed almost entirely in C++.
There are some appealing aspects of the future portrayed (an apparently efficient legal system), but taking a step back this does not quite look like where we want to head (the death of privacy and fair-use).

It makes the scenario scarier, in some ways, than a clearly dystopian future, as one could see society falling into just such a suboptimal trap, where the gains in one area allow apathy to to shrug off the concerns in another.

I hope it's not too much to ask for both legal efficiency and fair copyright laws, not to mention privacy.

As for frivolous suits, I think you're right that leveling the playing field will also let the victims retaliate more easily. I'd hope they prove less stubborn than spammers, at any rate; I don't like the idea of spam that carries legal weight.

The best example I can think for online, executable wikis is http://scraperwiki.com - it allows you to create web scrapers, then periodically runs the scrapers and offers up the data in a nicer feed. As it's a wiki, anyone can reuse the scraper, or fix it when the structure of the page changes and the scraper breaks.

But it doesn't follow the example of literate programming, I guess largely because the code is generally boring, and written to quickly solve a problem, not primarily to act as an exemplar.
I like this because it accurately reflects the customers -- voters -- views, yet it is also completely non-partisan. My party is always the stupid one, the other party is always the evil one.

In this case, several of the folks are prominent representatives of their party. Guys we might see on TV explaining to us why policy X is good and policy Y is bad.

Paying for laws is done this way -- buying off the prominent members -- so that the status quo is maintained, i.e., I still keep thinking my guys are acting stupid and the other ones evil and you keep thinking the other way. If it had only been lesser members sponsoring, it wouldn't work that way.
This is the difference between my speech and my typing, my presentations and my speaker notes, and so on. Anyone know how to learn to do this as you go along, not preparing?

Doh, you're right. I had '#define FALSE 0' in my mind. '#define FALSE 1' actually is insane.
I disagree with a lot of the naysayers here.

Assuming this arrangement is legal (which others have pointed out might not be correct), I'm not sure this is such a bad deal.

Assuming you have access to all the YC dinners, the talks with pg et. all, etc., this is close to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get an up-close look at one of the greatest institutions for startups around. That's worth a lot in itself.

I'm specifically talking about a case where the deal is only for the 3 months of YC. If someone came up to me with a deal to live in SF for 3 months and go through all of YC and learn from the experience, at the cost of only 3 months for myself, I'm not sure that I wouldn't be extremely tempted.

I would think that there are certain ideological verities that differ between the generations. A group that is intimately familiar with a new ability to create millions of perfect digital copies of almost any intellectual property will have a somewhat different perspective as to what constitutes legitimate copyright protections in an age where such extensive abilities exist.

Most of our current Congresspeople know little to nothing about it, they just know they need a website for their campaign, that the design firm charges a lot of money, and that the Google can tell them the side effects of their drugs.
