Grades are not a factor for me. Maybe you should try internships on different areas and know what you will like in the future. The most important thing is knowing yourself. Do you get bored from doing the same things everyday? Do you want to travel? Do you like using computers? Do you want to have a desk job? Do you want a social job? Just ask these questions to yourself and get to know yourself by trying different areas. That way you can find the most suitable job for you. You can also compare this with having multiple relationships with different kind of people to waiting 20 years and having 1 relationship.
"...the unseen problems of virtual [servers] and advantages of just getting your own server. Am I right?"

In my experience, you're right. For the same monthly amount of datacenter cost I can either install a pretty beefy machine, or rent a underpowered VPS.

A disadvantage of a VPS is that they're always artifically limited in memory, disk space and CPU power, whereas in the case of a real physical server machine I can put as much RAM/drives/CPUs I want.

An advantage of VPS would be no hardware cost, no redundancy concerns, easy to add/delete instances, etc.

However, for me the advatages of real machines weigh heavier than those of VPS solutions, at least at present.

It's surprising that anyone on HN would be such a luddite. The question should be "how can we help these individuals contribute to society?", NOT "how do we halt progress to keep unproductive workers employed?".

In economics, this process is called Creative Destruction[1]--meaning that new/better opportunities generally displace older less efficient industries and methods. Alternatively, what would the GGP or Jarvis have everyone do?

Maybe I'm just weird, but I frequently develop things offline and so I require a local copy of things for dev anyway regardless of if I use the CDN in production or not.

That was really efficient. Relating with the 7 sins is a brilliant idea. Read it, and will probably remember it for a long time.
rules which basically revolve around removal of full-auto

That's not quite right. Full-auto means that the gun can shoot more than one shot per pull of the trigger. These have been severely restricted by Federal law since 1934, requiring a $200 tax and registration. New registrations have been banned since 1986, driving prices in to the five-figure range for weapons that would otherwise be worth less than $1000.

What does enable you to have all the scary-looking features you want in California is not having a detachable magazine. A detachable magazine does actually have an impact on a gun's combat effectiveness (it makes reloading faster), but there are alternatives to that as well: guns like the SKS and M1 Garand have fixed magazines that can be quickly reloaded from an external clip. So in CA, you can have say... a Mini-14, which doesn't look scary, but is semi-automatic and equipped with a detachable magazine just like the AR-15 (a semi-automatic-only version of the US military's M-16) and just as deadly, or you can have a very military-looking SKS that takes a little bit more practice to reload quickly but is otherwise functionally similar to an AK-47. What, exactly has this law accomplished aside from making legal gun owners learn a bunch of very detailed regulations to ensure they're not committing a felony?

The M1 Garand is actually sold to civilians through the Civilian Marksmanship Program, sponsored by the Federal government. They also appear in gun stores on occasion. These guns were never full-auto, and removing full auto doesn't satisfy the ATF as far as the aforementioned registration requirement; that's the reason the CMP doesn't sell the later M14 and M16 rifles to civilians.

I guess its just the way of the world. I've long used Slashdot but after a while the trolls start to take over and the conversation goes from informative to herpderp gradually. I've seen this happen to Digg, Fark, and k5.

Recently, it's also started happening on reddit. I would go there for the interesting articles but the frontpage is loaded with shitty fake AMAs, slanted political blogs, or stupid pictures. I could filter this stuff out, but then that would defeat the purpose of having community driven content.

Just remember, reddit didn't kill Digg and blogs didn't kill Slashdot. Digg was killed by the trolls in its membership. And Slashdot was killed by the latent racism/nationalism/sexism in some of its posts (if you ever read some of the comments concerning H1B, outsourcing, etc. it was fucking scary). I stopped visiting because the level of dialog dropped through the floor.

Also, this occasionally happens to HN, but I believe the community has been much better at keeping these shenanigans at bay. Unless the comments are well managed and moderated then they shouldn't have a problem keeping traffic up. But like anything in life, people move on and eventually it will happen here too.

Instead of having monkeys typing random characters and then collating together, it would have been more interesting to have monkeys typing the entire work at once and then selecting the work from the monkey with the closest output to 'breed' (use the output as the basis for a new generation of monkeys that will always type those letters in those positions with a very high probability [you accept mutations]).

This would have been faster and more interesting.

For reference, this theorem was and is often used to counter evolutionism, but those that try to use it in this way fail to grasp that evolution is not random but selects the fittiest according to survival ability. By setting the survival rule to 'proximity to Shakespeare' you'd reach the end result relatively quickly.

I like the approach of your project. I love cooking as a hobby and had been researching tons of websites from restaurants, food and wine products. That market has a huge opportunity but we need to focus in the details, in inspiring those restaurants about the web and good practices.

Much has been written about flash websites and how chefs want to do a show in their website. And now with social media they're happier having likes and tweets than something handsome.

About the website, my main critic is about the landing page. It's missing more magic. And I know that this could be very generic, but Cilantro is something amazing, something magic that you add to your recipes when they need that extra ingredient to be perfect. You need to get that love for Cilantro and show it in the website.

In fact, all the contents above the fold don't captivate. But when you go down to the gray area, I like the design better. Even when that's something that compliments the website. You need amazing examples, you need metrics. Teach restaurants about web metrics, about a A/B. Unbounced is trying for the rest of us, somebody could start doing niche markets.

Great project!

I've not had a formal CS education. So the first time I had to write a mini compiler, I decided to do it by hand, for its educational value, rather than use a parser generator. Google got me Crenshaw's paper (Lets build a compiler), and I remember it was very simple to follow his code to write my own. So yes, much recommended.
Wow, I remember reading this article when it came out - ELEVEN YEARS AGO. Now I feel old.
One More Thing…
This is really great. I've seen a lot of discussion around this problem but no one doing anything about it.

Minor feedback below.

1. Make the "Take the tour" button bigger.
Rather than "get started" I wanted to poke around a little more and find out what you were doing.

2. Interrogate all of your copy.
"Easy HTML Menus" means nothing to an LCD restauranteur. "PDF menus annoy your visitors. Cilantro lets you build and edit menus really fast" doesn't sell the reason this is great much better. PDF's take time to download, show your menu to your customers instantly.

3. Change your pricing
Create three prices. Free, medium and expensive. Use one of these http://codecanyon.net/category/css/pricing-tables to make it easy to read and compare plans. I think you could have a $10/m plan that allowed you to put your menu on FB that no one would bat an eyelid at. A $30/m plan for multi-location which also gave you a FB like-gate.

If your designer doesn't work out drop me a line, I'd love to help out.
You mean the title I gave here on hacker news? The article argues that European startups could gain the upper hand on innovation if US software patents become too much of a hindrance to US startups, so Europe could profit from that. It looks a logical conclusion to me...

"Just"? I make the first one 94,000 words. Has anyone actually read the papers to make sure that the OP has recommended something worthwhile? "Reading" and then coding alongside would probably take a full week's worth of time (I'd be interested to know if different).

It's a genuine question. People are recommended to read SICP all the time, by many influential people, but when a proper discussion of whether it's actually worthwhile comes up, we found a considerable range of opinions.

"I decided to do it by hand, for its educational value, rather than use a parser generator."

My experience was quite different. I am glad for having started with a parser generator - this got the tedious part out of the way so that I could think of how to generate code.

I later learned the theory behind various kinds of parsers, but I think that a beginner in compilers can safely leave it out.
Not really. There are form-fillers and password managers, but that's not what I'm talking about here.

Similar there are some "apps" and "widgets" available for some browsers, but its not the same thing as the apps with local storage that I'm talking about.

Perhaps I'm not being able to clearly communicate my ideas...

You weren't kidding (lots of snark on display). I've always thought that establishing a tone for discourse was one of the tougher things a new service had to pull off.
Couple more thoughts from using it some more:

An "I need this too" button. I saw the "a belt with no metal" post and thought yes, I need it too! But, the only way to express it was to leave a comment. So I didn't do it. Brevity through simple voting mechanisms on social sites is really powerful.

The search box needs a clickable button to submit the search.

No, you'd need to make a * gasp * real-time roguelike.
I have read Crenshaw's series (the first one that is recommended), and found it eye-opening how easy it is to write simple parsers and compilers.

That said he does use some obscure assembly of which I hadn't heard before, so I'd really love to see an update to a more mainstream platform.
Reliable opening times are the holy grail of any business or directory listing. But in practice it's really hard to do reliably. The best you can do really is just list normal opening times + include the "closed on xmas day, bnk holidays" caveat, and let people figure out for themselves whether the store is open or not.

Else you risk telling people you're closed when you're not, or vice versa.
One of the very interesting lessons from Crenshaw's "Let's build a compiler" is that writing a simple, recursive descending parser isn't hard at all.
Pergole Plans
Agreed. I don't have a CS background either and despite reading a few textbooks, I could never grok how one would write a parser for a language. After reading Crenshaw's paper, I was able to put together a quick & dirty scripting language for a text processing program I was writing.

Crenshaw's approach does have downsides; as noted in the article, there's no internal representation of the program so optimisations like short-circuit evaluation of logical operations are difficult, if not impossible...
If you read it like that :)

I read the title as "how europe could profit by introducing the us system of software patents"
Good point; this topic has been discussed previously and a number of alternatives have been plausibly mentioned - Appel's book has a lot of fans.

The original article is very vague as to what the alternatives to reading a 'just' reading 94K words + a contentious paper on pass structure might be. One suspects heavyweight contenders like the Dragon Book, Muchnick, and Cooper and Torczon are being set up as strawmen.

There are a lot of compiler books which aren't suitable for the task; there is way too much in those last three books for someone who is just looking to 'bang out a compiler as quick as possible'.

Building a compiler by yourself is a noble goal, but the definition of success is pretty fluid.

Person A might build a heck of a compiler for a 'little language' by bolting an ANTLR frontend to an LLVM backend and learn a lot. Person B might hand-build a recursive descent parser and spit out a simple stack-based IR which she runs in an hand-crafted interpreter. Both would have learned a lot, in radically different directions.
What does $1265 of bugs look like?
It's going to require a whole lot of social reform, I think, especially if we find ways to successfully and cheaply make computers that can interact with the physical world as well as or better than a human. At that point, the skill of moving things around without thinking about them critically will suddenly be a whole lot less valuable, just like organizing info by hand became a much less valuable skill with the advent of Google. That removes most jobs one can do without an education of some sort, or at least the ability to think critically and/or creatively.

But maybe robotics on that level is still a long ways off.

Personally, I can't wait to have a computer chauffeur, and to know that the trucks around me are driven by computers that know of my car's presence and exact location by sight, networking, lidar, and however many other sources of data they have.

Sorry if I gave you the impression that all I've done is set up toy websites. In your list, just in the past year, I've touched a solid 80%, if not more, of the technologies you listed, professionally. The only ones I'd leave out are database sharding, connection pooling, redis, project management... and I think that's it.

That's kind of my point. This stuff isn't hard and oftentimes the things you mentioned are the big obvious solution, because a million people have done it before and blogged about it. That's not to say it isn't really cool. ad hoc multiprocessing with rabbit (or whatever) & celery is awesome. Sass is neat, etc., etc. But by and large they're solved problems. That doesn't make them unworthy of anyone's time, or stupid or dumb or whatever. I didn't say the tech stack is shallow; I said the problems you try to solve on the web are solved by and large, except at the edges where companies like Twitter, Disqus, etc., are doing new things to scale.

There are people out there who collect spoons. They have an enormous wealth of knowledge about all kinds of spoons. There is practically a bottomless pit of knowledge about spoons. Their history, origins, etc. That doesn't make it interesting to everyone, necessarily.
