I haven't attended law school, but I've self-studied a few of the casebooks and readers they use, and most examples are contemporary. In fact many profs and book-writers go out of their way to use examples their students will find relevant/entertaining. Sometimes that even gets them into trouble; in a recent case, a law prof was suspended for posing a "colorful" hypothetical about shooting his dean in various combinations of circumstances: http://volokh.com/2011/02/16/criminal-law-professor-suspende...

To the site owners:

(I couldn't find a way to contact you on your site.)

This is a very nice, attractive web site. You are clearly trying to do good things.

One very strong suggestion: it's very important that you find a better translator, or learn to be a better translator. Your articles are very hard to understand (and I did try).

Even when I thought I understood part of an article, I wasn't sure, because the rest of the article was so difficult to understand.

You've done well so far, but without better translations I don't believe people will come back to your site after the first visit.
Good article. "Outsource all over the place" is so important. Pay some expert for a few hours of work that would take you a week (ie: healthcare).

The one thing that I do think is important though is business cards. We got business cards before we even got 1 line of code written. It just seems like an established way to exchange info at events more so than using "bump", I think.
I don't downvote comments that spur conversion, please don't assume this. I also don't think I'm the exception: I would say most of my friends thoroughly enjoyed their higher education experience and got a lot out of it more than just learning practical knowledge that furthered their career. What's important about studying after high-school is that you find out that you love learning for the sake of it, with a group of people who are there by choice (unlike high school) and your horizons can be broadened immensely. Am I biased because I took a creative arts degree? Possibly, but I also took science classes and found the energy to learn there to be of the same calibre. On that note also: I didn't study in the U.S. and certainly not at a for-profit school. I concede that the experience may be completely different in other countries (though I've found Europe to be fairly homogenous in regards to their approach to learning: academic over career-oriented).
I stand enlightened.

In the US, it's probably something to do with quarterly dividends (which makes it the reporting period for financial results). Less frequent dividends would cause the value of shares to drop more significantly post dividend (which happens anyway, but with quarterly distributions, one doesn't have to think of shares as being 'almost there' w.r.t paying out). More frequently (monthly, say) would increase transaction costs too much.
Fantastic. I've always wanted to know what I'm going to do next.

Few start in French literature.

Many start in Computer Science, or Engineering, or Physics, or Pre-med. They get weeded out because of a combination of poor teachers, poor pre-college math and science preparation, and a lack of study skills or scientific ability.

Well, you have a year in, you're stuck in the sunk cost fallacy (Well, I've already spent a year in college, I'm going to have all this debt anyway, so I should get something...) and they enjoyed that French Literature elective.

Great tips. I've had the fortune of working with enough diverse freelancers over the years that most things that we don't have time for (design, for example), we can get done quickly and cost-efficiently. I really recommend sending small jobs out to people you can establish long-term relationships with over time, who will work with your budget. It pays off immensely.

Ask HN: What's the point of downvoting?
I just recently got into this commenting/submitting game and it's really turning out to be rather weird.

First, what is the point of downvoting? If, you can give a point, won't that ultimately make whatever comment/story raise up on its own? Making comments grayed out? That's pretty lame. Either leave them there for people to read or mark or flag them as inappropriate and make them disappear.

Second, it's a negative. No one wants to be told they suck. I think this is what Facebook got right with their "Like" button and what YouTube got so wrong with their "Dislike" button.

There's some research around suggesting that with so many versions of jQuery in use that the chances of finding the version of jQuery your site uses in cache is quite small. (can't find the article at the moment)

Components don't seem to stay in cache for very long these days because browser caches are max only 50MB (phones are much smaller) and with a bit of surfing it's easy to get to a position where components get ejected.

Also there is no guarantee that retrieving it from Google's CDN is faster than retrieving it from your servers e.g. there's DNS resolution, TCP connections to be setup etc., some of which will already be done for the main site.

Few thoughts.

"Another problem he encountered: there are few incentives for law professors to excel at teaching."

As a college student I can attest that this is not just law professors. This is the case in any research-centric university.

The rest of the article reminds me of the debate surrounding Computer Science and Software Engineering. Many people feel that CS degrees do not prepare you to actually code, and that a lot of CS graduates do so without knowing how to write any good code.

If looked at in that light, is it really a problem? The specifics of how law is done might change, the deep insights and theoretical knowledge will always be useful at some level.

To frame it in the computer-science context, which I am more familiar with, if a schools pends four years teaching practical applications of Java and the specifics of the Hadoop framework, the graduates will surely have a lot more practical knowledge right as soon as they begin working. But in ten years if Java is no longer used and Hadoop was superseded by something else, all that knowledge is now useless. In contrast, knowledge of Turing Machines and automata will still be useful, if not for its practical application, for its cultural value and the ability it has to change your thinking about problems.

I think the best way to deal with the lack of practical knowledge is to combine it with actual practice. At Northeastern University, a large percentage of the students do six-month coops where you work full time for those months. It's a way to deliver the best of both worlds. Deep theoretical lecturing mixed with actual real-world work. I have yet to find a downside to it for the average student.

Show HN: Unbox - Stunning Infographics for your Inbox (weekend project)
That's an interesting observation, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who has thought this. From what I've seen (as an emacs user, and a functional programmer), typically people in the FP camp tend to use emacs, and people in the imperative camp tend to use Vim.

(Aside: Really, most of the people I know use IDE's these days, even if they are a vim or emacs user. The FP guys are the only ones who don't, to be honest, and that's mostly due to a lack of IDE's for functional programming languages.)

Something I've thought was that Vim was for the most efficient possible editing of text data, whereas emacs was not concerned with efficiency so much as ability to edit _structured_ data. Emacs' paredit-mode is a great example of this. Should you be unfamiliar, paredit _prevents_ you from creating an unbalanced parenthetical structure in your code. For example, if you have (Harpo (|Groucho Zeppo)), where the | is the cursor, pressing delete does nothing! Instead, I should press M-s for paredit-splice-sexp (I think), which will result in (Harpo Groucho Zeppo). The structure is more important to your text editor here than your ability to edit the text.

Vim, on the other hand, lets you drive unsafely. It lets you make your own speed limit (metaphorically, more than literally. emacs and vim are both quite fast methods of editing once you get used to them, I do think vim is faster though). It wouldn't ever do something like prevent you from deleting a paren just because it would cause an imbalance on the page. Object Oriented and imperative languages, C++ in particular, have always seemed the same way to me. They do what you say, and don't question the soundness behind it's logic.

I have a lot respect for people who can code like that, because I can't. I like my text editor or my programming language telling me when I'm being a fool.

Sorry for the long and somewhat off-topic post, it's a subject I've given a great deal of though to in the past and it sprung forth from my mind onto the page before I could stop it ;)

Really? I'm not a Javascript expert but I play one on TV and I always thought $(function()) was the standard way of bootstrapping everything safely.

Is the new standard really just Javascript blocks at the bottom? Would love to read more on the pros and cons, got any links?

You can learn a lot by searching the web, so many folks don't learn something new by reading the first chapter of any intro to Unix (or the shell) book anymore. It's still surprising though.

If you search for help with command line utils you are almost guaranteed to get some results that are man pages online, so the person who said that probably has read man pages without realizing it, and without the convenience of the man program.
I am not able to access the link. Is there a problem?
I'm sorry but this is not good enough. You should try to do better than "what Youtube does".

Delete upon owner request (a la DMCA) is a legal maneuver. You should be able to parse out if an image is licensed as Creative Commons or public domain and show only those pictures. Else assume all rights reserved.

Not to pick on your project but it's time that people try to do better than take the easiest path of show all images (without attribution) because it was the most convenient thing to do.

(If you are going to do the delete on owner request thing, at least consider providing an immediate link to delete without 1) have to mail a paper request in, 2) having to sign in or 3) some other onerous route to delete)

alt-. or (ESC .) does something similar, but can be pressed repeatedly to keep going back further in history in case the argument you want isn't on the most recent command.

!! is short for the previous command, but you can do !-2$ to get the last argument from the 2nd last command, or !cp$ to get the last argument from the most recent cp command. Or !cp:2 to get the 2nd argument to the most recent cp command. !# refers to the current command being entered (in zsh, don't know about bash).

Basically I second Aissen's recommendation to read up on history expansion. Super useful.
Nope, the common argument is "it doesn't matter what degree, as long as you have one." This is repeated at all levels (high school teachers, college students, parents, college tour guides, etc.)
Why was that a good decision?
I have never had a law exam question that tested something on outdated law. I'm a third year Cdn. law student but it's probably quite similar.

The old cases are taught because they're still relevant to some principle. A 1600s case about a music hall burning down sounds ridiculous until you realize that "buildings burning down" is still a problem that exists today and that's the origin of the doctrine of frustration.

For those using zsh hit alt-q to stash the current command. After you run the next command your stashed line will be brought back for you.

alt-h behaves similarly but runs `man <command you were typing>`, so if you have this:

and need to check the options, hit alt-h and the man page for rsync comes up. When you exit you'll be back at:

> Vim is verb-first and emacs is noun first :D

I'm not sure I agree with this comment. I think vim and emacs are both verb-first, but they operate on different nouns. Vim focuses on manipulating text, whereas emacs focuses on manipulating code. I think both approaches are valid :)

Is this only in zsh? I've been recommending this and not marking it explicitly as a zsh thing.

IT workers are in demand in Norway, so if you're skilled, it's generally not too hard to get a job here. And the pay is decent - sure you might find some jobs that pay more in the States, but you're not going to starve here. My pay actually jumped by about 50% when I moved here.

Things are more expensive here, of course, but not everything is a lot more expensive - renting an apartment here is similar to prices you'd expect in New York. I've never had a problem with healthcare, but off hand I don't know any company that provides dental coverage or vision plans.

The hardest part is the language. --Everyone can speak English here, but, like anywhere, the more of the local language you speak, the easier it is.
Yes, it is really a problem. Unless your career path as a CS graduate is to research more computer science or somehow spend your career only working on the theoretical, it really is a problem that you graduate not knowing how to code.

Learning Hadoop and Java is not the same as "learning software engineering", just the same way that learning quicksort is not the same as "learning computer science."

You're conflating learning a specific language or a tool with learning how to engineer anything more complicated than a one-file program. Software engineering is about understanding why you should care about object orientation--and when you shouldn't. It's about learning how to deliver most value for a given expenditure of time--and how to make sure that value lasts longer (i.e. maintainable code).
