In your case, it sounds like you spend much of your time and energy achieving. Instead of using the break to steady yourself for the next leap, why not take time to wander a little? Go experience unique people and places. Set out to change your perspective. Play. It could help you discover what you want or what's next in your career, giving you something to work toward, rather than blindly collecting 'skills' and 'credentials' that may or may not be what you need to take the next step.
> and a parking spot

Is this a parking spot of the optional, nice-to-have variety, or of the mandatory, can't-live-without-a-car variety? There are lots of different lifestyle tradeoffs in cities, and different things that might cause you to step back and consider moving. For me personally, I was sick of driving. Whether I have to drive everywhere is much more important than the size of my living space. I don't particularly mind small living spaces, especially if it means I can often be out of my small living space just by walking out the door into the city. Though I do prefer them to have some good natural light.

Of course, I didn't move to NYC either, so I don't know whether its particular set of tradeoffs is worth it overall.

I'll provide an API for it, won't be ready for months though. It's not a big priority yet -- part of a larger project.

The data sources aren't that interesting. After trying for a while to find something already pre-compiled, I quit and resorted to Googling for phrases like, "9th grade spelling list", and aggregating the data from the results by hand. There are a bunch of sites for teachers and home educators and the like that include tables of vocabulary for various grades. It's tedious, but it works.
Folks, the list is supposed to be funny. Of course it's over the top and somewhat arbitrary. The author knows it. She's also over the top and somewhat arbitrary.
They're just ramping up mass manufacturing. They have an enormous factory, and they're currently occupying a small corner of it.

They're not hand-building the cars, so I wouldn't compare them to the small run hand-build manufacturers. They're building the company for scale. Hand-building is much easier to ramp up and change, but then you get no economies of scale.
These insane prices are drive by people like you who don't know how to do math. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent_control_in_New_York

As of 2011, more than 60% of all apartments in New York are price regulated in some way. Rent stabilization destroys the incentive for developers to maintain and improve properties, and combined with the ridiculous historical preservation laws binds their hands in replacing properties with higher-capacity housing.

That's why most of the housing in Brooklyn and Queens is former tenement housing built god knows how long ago and maintained like crap. Landowners can't easily decide to just tear that shit down and put up mid/high-rises that could house 10x more people and bring down prices.
Experience has been that folks are more openly racist, but at the same time less serious about it. I can speak to Texas: there are a lot of good ol' boys (especially in energy, oil, and gas), but people are friendly and fast to warm up.

The way it's been presented to me has been that Southerners "hate the race and love the people" while in the rest of the country it's "hate the people and love the race".

My (admittedly limited) sampling has been that the Texans I know are less seriously racist than the folks I've worked with from New York or other big coastal cities.

I started crying when I read that. I literally have tears in my eyes right now. I'm hardly surprised, though.

I expressed my opinions years ago here on HN, about this tiger mom horseshit and how it's basically child abuse, to me, even though I'm into my 30s it's still with me.

My mom did this shit to me and I had a couple of good, solid breakdowns. Constant pressure, college resume padding horseshit, extracurricular activities that I don't care about (kudos to you if you enjoyed them but most of the people at these things aren't enthused about it). NOthing I ever did was good enough, impossible busy work, constant comparisons to so-and-so kid's, being paraded out to brag about the family name, etc.

Then I did the unforgivable. I flunked out of college. I got FAT -- the worse! And grew a beard. She told me I was a complete embarrassment and she didn't want me around. Because of a beard. I guess I was about 25 when she said that, and I've seen her a three times since then.
This works way better than I had expected. Very well executed!
That's also a very good suggestion, I'll try to replace the photo with a screencast, thank you.

Also, searchco.de is amazing, I've been looking for something like that many times. As far as I'm concerned, the reason that's not more popular is because I didn't know about it.

Although, I'm having a problem searching for '"def reverse" django', as I'm guessing it interprets quotes literally. If it could do that so I didn't have to browse Github's files manually, it would be a lifesaver.
As I understand it, no. It's reduced to a token and all network authentication is done by the token. The token may ask you to authenticate yourself to it via biometric or password, depending on how much security you want. Assuming the token stays in your possession, there would be little need to change the secondary authentication.

Again, I have nothing to do with this project, just my interpretation of how it works.

I have very little experience with Javascript. I come from a Python background. So please excuse my ignorance, but this doesn't sound like a designed language feature at all. These look like tricks that programmers discovered they could use to provide namespace separation.

Wouldn't it better if there were constructs built into the language to provide separate namespaces, in an obvious and coherent fashion?
If rent is becoming ridiculously high, the laws are inadequate. It's not anybody's 'fault'. Own up to it.
If that's the case, why do you plan on using shady obfuscatory methods to achieve that goal? Stinging someone with and intentionally surprising contract is nothing but unethical. It sounds more like you want a vindictive revenge-stab at the people that don't give you a job rather than a professional payment for supplied services. You're not even proposing something on the level of a sleeper clause or the tiniest of fine print, you're engaging in wilful misdirection.

Well, I wrote YourPane in around three days (two years ago), so it doesn't really cost anything to run, and I sincerely believe it's useful, because it's useful to me (and I did check, two people use it, one of which is me).

About Instahero, yes, it was many many times more effort to write and write well, and I didn't see any response, so I shut it down. Instahero was more of a legitimate attempt at making a product I could build a startup around, YourPane is just a weekend's work (like https://persowna.net/, which is the thing I built last weekend, and http://www.getinstabot.com/ which is the thing I'm building on various weekends).
A CHANGES file is hugely overlooked by many projects. I've only recently started using it, but it's a great way to help other developers get a "gist" for what the latest version includes!

Depending on your platform, a DEPS file is pretty useful too; for my Python projects I've got a DEPS file that is just a "pip freeze > DEPS" output. It's then loaded into the setup.py - it serves two purposes, easily recognizable by a developer and also used by the package for its dependencies.

I keep the latest version in a VERSION file that is loaded by setup.py for its version.

I can't say enough for README files that are kept up-to-date and full of GOOD information. It really doesn't take too much time either.

The idea is that if they cut out all the extracurricular / social aspects of a child's life, then the child will have nothing better to do other than focusing on academia. Of course, in reality that doesn't happen. Children will rebel when they come to that age.

God, coming from Chicago I find the New York housing market to be such a disaster (though I live in Westchester so I put my money where my mouth is, I guess). I remember paying $1,800 a month of a 250 square foot room on the UWS where the closet had been turned into a bathroom. I lost weight that summer, because I was literally so disgusted by the filth of all the old buildings. I remember visiting an apartment in Astoria (around $1,200/month for a share of a 2BR) and literally leaving in the middle of the walk through because the bathroom was so old and gross.

The only (relatively) good deals in Manhattan are in FiDi, where I'd imagine the historical preservation nazis are less nazi-ish about tearing shit down and renovating. At least last time I checked, there was some reasonable new construction/renos down there that didn't cost $5,000/month for a 1BR.

You could always boot the VM with an image that contains the compiler and run there. If it truly does boot faster than the results take otherwise then you could move it all into javascript that way, and not have to worry as much about the infrastructure around it.

The odds are stacked massively against us.

Yes, which is what makes this merely a good start, where "good start" is defined as "any change in favor of the citizen." Parity is still a long way away; consider that the law is now almost 15 years old. Will it take another 15 years for another step in this direction to be taken?
I agree that these places are not that bad statistically – I've heard horror stories and Craigslist is full of places like this – but I would never live in any of these apartments and I was able to find great apartments with lots of light and space (in Brooklyn, mind you) for under $1200.

I've actually always wondered who takes apartments like these. Either people with no taste, no plans to ever be home, or no time to hunt (it usually takes a week or two to find a good place).

Hey there. I've done a GPGPU implementation of a physical weather prediction model[1]. I'm interested in how you get your weather data. Do you use WSM for modeling? Also, have you considered licensing out Dark Sky for data assimilation purposes to weather agencies? What I hear from the weather researchers this is one of the hardest aspects of this field. I think that once you have a product that's able to integrate an automated feedback loop into existing weather models for all kinds of weather data, you've basically won the weather game.

There is no hope for NYC on defeating the NIBMY crowed. If I thought there was, I'd personally go around raising money to fight the preservationists.[1]

As corrupt as Chicago is, I do love one thing about it: the corruption sometimes works in peoples' favor. Recently, Northwestern University wanted to tear down its hideous old womens' hospital to put up a new medical facility: http://d22r54gnmuhwmk.cloudfront.net/photos/1/zg/re/MTzGREji.... The usual suspects bitched about architecture blah blah. Rahm was like "STFU" and Northwestern got a permit to tear that shit down. The funny thing was that they basically abandoned it during the scuffle with the preservationists (like 3-4 years). I'm convinced the plan was to basically be like "oops, looks like it's not safe to occupy anymore!" (buildings break down surprisingly quickly during periods of no occupancy).

[1] I secretly dream of doing a non-profit specializing in litigation against preservationist groups.

There are some advantages to following your passion, if you unambiguously have one. And often there are disadvantages. But pretending to have one is not a reasonable strategy.

As a first approximation, I'm a fan of Cal Newport's thinking on the subject. He claims that passion _follows_ mastery, and that therefore passions are not discovered, but rather constructed, and that deliberate practice can lead you there. My own opinion is that this summary only captures one side of passion, but I think in many ways it's the most powerful side, and also the side that's the most actionable (and thus relevant when someone is asking for advice).

Ask HN: I am sick and tired, help me.
I will be honest, I am sick and tired of building stuff that "I think is cool and no one else does". I just don't "get" how people obtain feedback before building just yet; I have put up landing pages, gathered 50-100 emails for a project, launched, and then crickets.

I know my weaknesses (it's not tech, or launching, its validation and marketing), so I want to try an experiment:

1. Post an idea, with an estimated price to the consumer:

eg; online service that will photoshop a photo for 9.99$ (something I have tried fwiw)

2. Have it be webbased (no iphone/droid apps, currently in-between macs)

3. The first idea that gets 10 people to email me: anthony@coderindustries.com, and say they will pay upon launch, I'll build it.

4. if you want to take an active marketing/bizdev role, and have a proven track 50/50 split.

5. If you want to take an active marketing role, and don't have a proven track record 75/25 split (my way).

6. If you don't want to take an active role 90/10 split (my way).

As the ideas are posted, if something pops up you would pay for, email the idea, and any tweaks you deem needed.
