Best is the enemy of good.
Excellent response to (admittedly unconstructive) criticism, hats off :) Will send you my humble suggestions after work.
I figured out (after dropping out ;) that college isn't about the diploma but about the connections you make.

Add to that that you'll learn a shared vocabulary and 'way of thinking' which will allow you to communicate better with those connections.

So if you want to know what to study, just ask yourself which company of graduates you would like to belong to.

It'll also help with that sense of identity you felt you were missing.
Well, just 'coding' IS boring. The fun part is figuring out what and how to code.

In my job, for example, I fix bugs. While that sounds terribly dull, it actually is not: I get to see a lot of interesting code, that's broken is so subtle ways that most cannot even imagine. I get to work with code written by a lot of very different people, in a lot of different languages. I get to study how these programs interact, how they form a system, how they work together, and why a little tweak here and there can make the whole thing fall apart, or - in the good case - perform much better.

Debugging all the weird problems, diving into assembly on architectures you didn't even see is very interesting to me. And once I come up with a clever fix, that feeling is amazing.

But this isn't your average code monkey job. Those are boring indeed.
with _some_ coding skills and _some_ art skills you won't get far in the gaming industry. the jobs there are highly specialized - you need to be good at either coding or art.

though with being somewhat good at both you can go the indie route.
If nobody understands REST, and as other articles have claimed, nobody does it right, then why do we keep trying to use it?

By which measure is Germany doing well ? Its gdp increase has been anemic for years, and is for example not significantly different from France, which is rarely given as an example of growth rate those days: http://www.google.com/publicdata?ds=wb-wdi&met_y=ny_gdp_... (the numbers stop around 2009 unfortunately, but the effectively devaluation policy of Germany started with Schroeder coming in power long before the crisis).

What is true is that Germany has put in place a devaluation strategy (by reducing wages instead of devaluating its money), but this has been a catastrophy for Europe as a whole. "Real" gdp growth comes from increase of productivity: devaluation helps hiding this for some time, but not that long.
Why put the comparison between two countries in our point about leadership styles. Countries are not people , a leader in a corporate setup has a fairly definitive goals (increase revenue) and can hire/fire people. But countries are to be governed so that every one has a equitable choice.

Perhaps Haskell compromised on first-class modules. But ML compromised on:

* Type-classes (which overlap but aren't really the same thing and are probably more important)

* Typed-effects (a.k.a purity): This is a big one to lose.

* Laziness/Strictness control

I think ML is more of a compromise than Haskell.

> Why do you want my first and last name?

I ask for these on web forms simply because it's good to be able to reply to people by name, instead of starting your response with "Hello" or, as is sadly quite common, no greeting at all.

> I can't keep a full communication log on my side.

That bugs me too. I use a "receive a copy of this email" checkbox on my forms for this reason.

Here's the most likely problem: You aren't mature enough yet. Not really in the ego/experience sense, but in the physical mind/body sense. If my anecdotal experience(just a few years out at 25) is any indication, youth makes it harder to stay grounded and take your immediate reality seriously.

For now, stay healthy, keep learning, try lots of things and do good work. You'll be prepared for whatever comes next.
From the screenshots it looks like you're using some sort of cross-platform framework. Any plans for a (real) native client?
First things first, you need to chill the f*ck out. You're 20 years old. You've only accomplished a small fraction of your life's mistakes, you have plenty more to look forward to.

Next, get a job. It sounds like your life needs some structure and distraction from your own thoughts. I'm not suggesting this job should be your life's purpose, just enough to give you something to focus on besides yourself.

As you are also artistic, start hanging around with the 'maker' community, they welcome people with coding skills. You'll probably get burned by hangers-on a few times but gravitate to the folks who are dedicated and can deliver.

Perhaps Facebook won't have just 350 mil users 3 years from now, but that doesn't mean Google+ won't have 350 million users 3 years from now.

Usually the disrupted companies don't notice that company disrupting them is stealing their users because they are still growing by adding more mainstream users, while in the same time the disruptor is stealing their early adopters.

This is what happened to RIM and why they refused to believe they are in danger until this year, and it's what's happening to Firefox.

By now most of the early adopters of Firefox have moved over to Chrome, but the numbers didn't show that because as Firefox had years of age and its brand was more known, it continued to gain more mainstream users, and overall even having a net growth. But eventually the disrupted company reaches a peak when they stop gaining new mainstream users because the early adopters that have left start having a major influence on the mainstream, and they start bringing them over to the disruptive service or product. It happens again and again.

If Greece defaults, it will go down the drain badly. They will not get out of this as good as Argentina did. With no significant exports (that the EU doesn't pay for with subsidies) and living from subsidies and dept over the years, there is no chance for progress. With real riots in Greece, Spain and Portugal will think twice. This will get Spain and Portugal get their job done, not giving Greece more money.

That said, the best would be to inject more money beside the debt into Greece to start some recovery. Given, Greece did cheat on the EU in the past concerning EU money, nevertheless this should get out Greece faster.

How do I manage all the good links of Hacker News
Everyday I read a lot of articles on Hacker News, what is the best way to manage all of these good links and articles. Sometimes it is an article, I can send it to Instapaper, sometimes it is a reference document, I save it to my Favourites bar in the browswer Chrome, sometimes it is a source code in GitHub, I added it to my watch list, etc. The question is: How do I manage all of these good links, when I want them, I can easily find them, from every places that I saved. Someone has a good solution for this? Please share. Thank you.
> I ask for these on web forms simply because it's good to be able to reply to people by name, instead of starting your response with "Hello" or, as is sadly quite common, no greeting at all.

Then 1. make it optional, not mandatory, I really don't care for being greeted in an answer to one of my inquiries and "hello" more than suffices (nothing is also perfectly acceptable).

And 2. Don't make it a pair of First, Last field. If I'm Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and of Her other Realms and Territories, Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith you'd better greet me as exactly that. On a more serious notes, various cultures have different takes on names and greetings, not everybody has a first and a last name (or only a first and a last name). Just put "name" and I'll put what I want in that.
The CEO decision at Pfizer is a horrible example, if you ask me. All we know is that one manager was perceived as assertive and occasionally "abrasive" while the other one was "fair" and then when the abrasive guy was picked, they conclude it was because of his "toughness" because some random analyst said so.

There could be a million different reasons why he was picked over her. For one, it might simply be discrimination from the owners and/or share holders or one particularly influential share holder. Or he was better connected and/or was playing politics better than she did. Or for many other reasons...

And the other study just showed how a first impression will influence how we perceive people. They have absolutely nothing backing up the theory that a "fair" manager will lose to an "unfair, tough" manager in promotions.

If you ask me, they are missing quite a few links and connections in their theory and are mixing correlation with causation.

You coded in C++/Javascript for clients that don't pay. Go to college and learn Computer Science. This will allow you to code for clients that pay. Some of these companies will suck, but some of them will be very good places with great coworkers and a lot of creativity.

The art diploma will be useless. If you have a CS degree, you can have a day job that pays well and maintains your art hobby. Later in life, if you art hobby "takes off", you can drop out of computer science and become an artist full time.

The point is: CS will give you a base that you can use for your entire life and keep you going, allow you to have a family or even be single and reasonably well off.
How to convince people
That's also one of my first memories of Len - mostly he chased it around the tree and then it got really fed up and started yelling at him.
It is the lack of being able to keep work/personal stuff segregated on Facebook that has made me very wary of using their platform. I like the way circles makes this concept very easy I can easily decide who I am sharing content with and who I am not sharing it with.
HP also copies Apple in ProBook
Meredith, I'm so sorry.
What's the very cool tech? Why does an app like this require particularly new or innovative technology?
I hope they change the interface. The first thing I found odd about Wave, was that it needed a 1 hour demo when they first showed it. That was probably because it was focused towards developers, though, which is another mistake they made.

But I think the UI was 60% of the problem. When I first started using it, my brain started to hurt. They didn't even follow the golden rule. They had 2 same width columns in there. And everything looked cluttered and complex. Not very intuitive at all.

Another issue with it was confusing marketing. They called it e-mail 2.0, when it was nothing like that. People used it more as a collaboration tool. I had to use it every day for 6 months, too, and I didn't like using it at all.

Now, whoever even compares Google+ with Wave and says Google+ might fail the same as Wave, simply doesn't get it. They are worlds apart. From the moment I even saw the video ads, I had the opposite feeling about it than I had about Wave - a very positive feeling. And I keep having it after using it many hours a day.
You could say the same thing about Adsense. Stick some adverts on your website and make money by clicking on them.

Google's the worlds leading expert in click-fraud, I'm sure they can figure out if you're doing this.
Usually I don't both with people who are feeling sorry for themselves, but I'm feeling nice this morning.

Go get a GED. Go to a community college and do your general studies. After two years, transfer to a state school and declare your major.

Not cool. Shame on them.
Google+ has already completely overtaken anything Facebook has offered me so far. Their mobile client for iPad is MUCH better than Facebook's. It remembers position in the stream when you click the back button rather than refreshing the page, it is faster and lighter weight.

I've only used Google+ the past couple of days but I already am sharing more content on it than on Facebook, I can share specific content with specific groups. My family doesn't care about git, but my co-workers probably do. My boss probably doesn't care for me talking about what beer I am going to knock back a six-pack of on the 4th, but my friends sure wouldn't mind discussing that.

Google's Circles has already made that much simpler. As for addicting features, faster page loads (Facebook uses a lot of JS and it can cause the page to crawl), instant updates (I was on the phone with my friend, and I heard him click his mouse and the post was already displayed on my screen), and the picture quality since it uses Picasa Web as the backend is much better than what is available on Facebook, and best of all Google seems to know how to run a CDN since I don't have to wait minutes for an image to show up.

As already mentioned the mobile interface is miles ahead of what is available from its competitors, and having used the Android app I can say it is absolutely fantastic. As I am personally an iPhone/iPad user I am looking forward to seeing what the app will look like once Apple approves it.

The first and last name fields are required in the op. That's bad.
Friends can "share" with an email address, the recipient receives an email with a "learn more" button/link and after they click that they are able to create an account. Sometimes the user will get a message stating that they are over capacity, trying again a day later generally works fine.

Out of my social graph about one-third of my friends are on Google Plus and that number will only keep growing in the future, currently about 3 - 4 a day are moving over from Facebook. It is already at that point that those who I communicate with the most have completely stopped using Facebook and are using just Google+
Great. Thanks for the clarification. I've been trying various ways to do secure login on my webapp so this will be just the ticket.
google is in an excellent position for this: they "only" have to assign a keypair to every profile. there's a small problem in that the private key would have to be stored in their cloud for good usability, but it's otherwise possible.
ya off-course. You just need to know the person whom you want to hack. You need some info about that person like:
- E-mail id
- FB username
- Some of his friends by face.

It's not just for collision prevention. It's so that prizes users have their own login, should fb/twitter OAuth be down.
By now most of the early adopters of Firefox have moved over to Chrome

I'm experiencing the opposite. Google's handling of what used to be a good browser has provoked me to the point that I do not feel comfortable using Chrome. I've moved back to Firefox because it's a browser which I can control, not a browser which controls me.

Chrome's primitive and failed extension-model (still) also makes Firefox look better when compared head to head.

Chrome used to be a browser for techies, but is now merely a good mom & dad browser. Because Google explicitly drove development in that direction. It will probably gain market-share as consequence of that (and because Google is advertising it fucking everywhere). However, power-users will probably leave Chrome now that Google has used them to promote it and no longer sees any need to appeal to them.

In fact, Google seems outright hostile against any power-user needs at every single point, bar the web-development module. Everywhere else Google is dumbing things down at the expense of technical detail. As a power-user I find this extremely unsexy.

Both excellent points.

> "hello" more than suffices (nothing is also perfectly acceptable).

To me -- as a receiver -- it feels impersonal to get a barked response without a greeting, especially if I'm writing to a company or in a professional context, and particularly if their answer seems canned. And, as a sender, it feels uncomfortable starting without a short personal greeting (at least for the first email you send). In the field of customer service, especially, you need to convey that you've acknowledged the sender's unique concerns. Even when they're far from unique.

Some interesting reading here in "Are greetings and salutations redundant in an e-mail?": http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/18396/are-greetin...

In case it ever crops up, addressing Her Majesty The Queen in written form as 'Madam' and closing with 'I have the honour to be, Madam, Your Majesty's humble and obedient servant' is just fine.
Hell no.

I am still amazed I get PAID to sit down and write code. I would do it for free (and frequently do) just because I love it so much.

There are few things that really float my boat, wine (and other beverages), hiking and coding are at the top of my list. The fact that people are willing to pay me for the last one is always a shock. As is when I find others are unable to do it.
> the First Gulf War was 1980-88,

Are you referring to the Iran-Iraq war? If so, that seems a strange name for it since it mostly had nothing to do with the Persian Gulf. Though admittedly neither did the other Iraq wars except that that's where the American ships attacked from.

As far as I know, Germany did some nasty things while overrunning East Germany: Like, they replaced the staff of East Germany universities with West professors, throwing East professors out. Also, when choosing whether to bankrupt some East factory or refit it, they almost always chose to bankrupt (think Trabant)

And concerning "old communists that had destroyed Eastern Germany" - Eastern Germany was, like, the richest communist state. It wasn't politically free, sure, but it was fine economically.

Now, why would you expect people "without money" who did have the money (and job, and their life) before reunification, not vote for who they vote for?
"The wave-particle duality mumbo-jumbo is BS. Everything is a wave. Period."
Feynman would probably say establish a rock solid base, fill in the gaps in your understanding, and explore all of the components surrounding your areas of interest (e.g. read the sources cited in the footnotes :-).

"It's not quite true that Feynman could not accept an idea until he had torn it apart. Rather, the idea could not yet be part of his way of thinking and looking at the world. Before an idea could contribute to that worldview, Feynman wanted to turn over the idea, to see why it was true, from any angle that he could find...In other words, he wanted to connect a new idea to what he already understood and thereby extend his understanding" (http://www.freakonomics.com/2011/04/08/how-richard-feynman-t...).

Feynman wanted to understand problem from all angles and understand why something was true, not just that it merely was true. His approach resulted in a tight mental framework that enabled him to connect new ideas and build upon insights from the outside in -- breadth before depth (see http://jamesthornton.com/blog/how-to-get-to-genius).

Watch this TED talk by Sal Khan, the founder of the Khan academy, to see how filling in gaps of understanding can significantly accelerate your rate of progress (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM95HHI4gLk).
