For me, I had to find some things where you can enjoy it alone, but also find a community and sometimes be social: Roller skating, Pinball tournaments, board games (and board game bars). Pinball especially has been great for me, as it has a near unlimited skill ceiling, but is also fun and interesting even when playing poorly.

To find community, check out Instagram for local people in your hobby, and follow the trail of suggestions to the big local “community” accounts. E.g. my metro has 2-3 big roller skating community-run accounts that announce all of the events.

I personally found that making time for a “hobby” that was also athletic was a huge mood stabilizer and positively impacted the rest of my life as well. Highly recommend!

The state of the docs is what got me to dump all of the links I'd been collecting to useful, but hard to find docs in to a small website -- https://www.iosdev.recipes/

Some things are incredibly useful and well organized, but completely blocked from indexing, like the documentation for xcconfig files: https://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/current/#/dev745c5c974

Apple has been doing a great job in some aspects at documenting more and updating things gradually, but at the same time, has been hiding more and more of the "old" docs and it's a shame since many of them are still correct, relevant and useful.

I write reference-style articles on confusing/underused areas of iOS development, and maintain links to hard to find documentation over at https://www.iosdev.recipes

ONSITE FULLTIME

Arguably the start of the big community push in that direction was Corey Haines' "Fast Rails Tests" talk, which is really just a clever way of presenting the separation of logic argument. See: http://arrrrcamp.be/videos/2011/corey-haines---fast-rails-te... (or google "fast rails tests corey haines" for other videos)

When a member of the community, or a popular figure in the hacker community passes away, a black bar is put at the top of HN in memory of that person.

Jacksonville, FL

Hashrocket is hiring a front end web developer. Familiarity with Rails is preferred. Really excellent benefits, and really awesome people to work with.

Similar idea: http://desksnear.me/

As someone who's just getting started with Backbone, I'd be very interested to see that talk, and here suggestions for what to do instead of 'this.model.view = this'.

Seems legit... but I don't see anything on the blog so I think I'll wait until I see something there. It does seem very phishy to me.

I made a comment below about price changes and how it hurts the usefulness of such reviews, but I also wanted to add that what you mentioned is another example of where the system fails. A 1/5 or 4/5 review that contradicts itself with a single sentence 'this rocked/sucked' isn't useful. We should be forcing people to provide a real review, or not allowing them to do so at all.

What happens when the price changes then? Suppose it's on sale in a month for $1.99 and still is loaded up with 1-star reviews that say "SO OVERPRICED!" -- not very useful then is it? Ideally, I'd love to see a completely independent review source that has common 'tags' that are easily understood. Rather than complain about the price, just check a box that says you don't believe it was a good value at the price, so when someone looks for reviews, they see "Customers don't think this product is a good value at $14.99" (Which is relevant, and useful even if the price changes).

This is why I hate the 'star' review system. It very often leads to users trying to 'punish' the maker of the product, and creates an incorrect perception that the product itself is flawed. This might be a great book, but someone browsing through titles will only see that it has a 1-star rating and assume it sucks. I really think there'd be a lot of potential in some sort of hybrid review system that could weed out these sorts of garbage reviews.

One of my professors has a large collection of previous ACM programming contest problems (with solutions) on his web site, along with problems from the contest he runs: http://math.nmu.edu/~apoe/

Right or wrong, there is a sense that some people have that any place that mandates Windows usage to developers is the equivalent of "Initech" from the movie Office Space. At least, that's the feeling I get from similar discussions with my undergrad friends.

If you wouldn't say it to my face, don't say it here. Pretty simple concept. I'm sad to see your only contributions here have been negative comments, all but one of which were on this story. People on Hacker News don't discourage criticism, but do prefer that it is done politely, and with reason.

The point is, for the first time in human history, we can see by direct observation that the sun is in fact a sphere. It's not huge in the sense that "We were right!", but rather that wow... now we can actually see it!

I worked on the web version as well as an upcoming iPhone version of this over the summer.

Someone once said to "What you have, then what you want" which made ALL of these easier to remember for me. In the case of strcat/cpy I think it still follows: I have an empty string 'target' and I'd like it to be 'source'.

That was my reaction as well. I've been learning Smalltalk recently, and this seems like a really great addition to Squeak!

I carry around my copy of K&R like it's my bible. Learning C really opened up programming in general for me. I love it. Here at school though, we're never required to write pure C code. We learn C++ (as it's own class! Yuck.) and use it for data structures, but other than that it's not required anywhere either. It's all Java and Python, and most people here can't be bothered to learn a new language. I've probably got more to learn about C before I'm at the level of the people you hire, but if you think you might be hiring in May, I'll be graduating soon! ;)
