Aha! I always suspected there was a secret area for YC founders. ;)

In that case, then how about a web version of emacs.

Well, if they must be together, could they be tagged consistently as "jobs" (e.g.) so they can be filtered out of the feed?

Alternatively, could you consider grouping all the job items under a separate page tab, next to "new | best | leaders | submit" or just use another subdomain for them, e.g. jobs.ycombinator.com?

Not everyone who reads news.yc is looking for a job, after all.

I don't think it will be that flooded with job postings, given that only YC companies post there.

This would be the exact opposite of "making something people want". Ask your average sports fan how high they are on the NBA's below-the-basket floor cam or (even worse) the wavering camera that floats down the center of the court over the action.

Thanks, but no thanks!

i was just waiting for someone to say this. thanks!

Why is there a big "SAMPLE" watermark on the example? Is he afraid someone will steal his goal?

I was curious about C#, started reading about it and I stopped precisely at the point when I saw this piece of code in their tutorial:

if (System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.IsMatch(s, sPattern, System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)) ...

So Miguel de Icaza wants to bring this mess to UNIX? This is ridiculous and so un-UNIX.

(Though GNOME, too, was probably one of the messiest GNU projects so far)

As long as you're going to use a software solution, you might be able to get the number of cameras on the ball down to zero: have a bunch of cameras in the stadium, and reconstruct from them what the ball would be seeing.

(I suspect you'd want the view of wherever the ball was projected to land.)

The article clearly has a point. But you've to tread carefully.

I've observed there are always two kinds of entrepreneurial stories:

1) well organized entrepreneur with a vision he lays out and then goes out and executes(characteristic of older, more experienced entrepreneurs)

2) entrepreneur playing around with stuff without much of a goal and happens to hit something which he develops into something even better (ie. hotornot, facebook).

My point: there is an extreme to both. That doesn't mean I don't value planning and goal a lot. In my case, clear goals make the actual doing that much more fun and give me that "on a mission" feel.

It would be helpful to see what city these jobs are in from the listing page...

That's hardly crazy. It's just an application that fetches data from a server. The cool thing is, of course, the underlying symbolic system for solving equations, and graphical capabilities, that have been there for 20 years or so.

"A profound image of astonishing richness and complexity that reveals something poetic about the structure of the chemical elements"

And I thought that the Google blog was rah rah rah.

Ok, I added locations to the titles; presumably new submissions will follow suit.

Just use a software solution. Put 6 or or so cameras pointing out radially and then stitch the views together for a full 4pi view. No need for a fancy gyroscope. There's an idea for a startup...

Marc has come out of the gates, SWINGING!

Coming soon. (The link was initially only visible to YC founders; I'll turn it on for everyone in the next release in a couple hours.)

Edit: It will be more than a couple of hours. The good news is, the next release will have some big improvements.

Is this list of on-line resources stunning?

It's handy, I suppose; without checking each one, though, I'm not so sure it's any better or worse than the lists I've seen at A List Apart and other top-notch Web design/development sites.

What would be stunning would be if he had added these sites to del.icio.us, and told us his user name, so that more people could have more flexible means to search/group/annotate/back-up these URLs.

Why is there no link in the top menu?
