What are the best mechanical keyboards for programming currently available in market?

I've got my eyes on the Das Prime 13.

Today has been extremely stressing and weird. But keep that aside, one of the most saddening events happened tonight, my iPhone 6S that I purchased not even 2 weeks back had it's screen shattered, and I mean, like, shattered.

The entire bottom half is gone(sigh) and I have no idea what to do. I purchased it in the US, and have come back to India now, so this makes the situation even worse. I have totally no idea what to do, the drop wasn't even 3-4 feet. My previous iPhone 5 survived a 10 foot drop with minor scratches, and a little bit of a crack. I do NOT have Applecare, I never thought I needed it. :(

It really saddens one's heart to have their phone screen broken. This isn't an anti Apple, or spam thread, I'm just wondering what the alternatives are here? Should I shift to Android or something else now that these have become so poorly built?

I'm getting bored since a few days. I have 2 more days full of free time, so I'm wondering if there's something someone wants me to make for them. Maybe something that'll be useful to me as well, and others in the community ?

Hi!

I'm a competitive programmer who's about to visit San Fransisco for 2-3 days. I was wondering what places I should visit in the Bay Area, I mean, I think it can be a great place to learn and see how startups work, so, any suggestions as to which places I should visit while I'm around would be awesome. I'm looking for a little fun trip with some learning and new experiences maybe.

Maybe being able to visit the startup you work in would be great, I don't know maybe Dropbox, Facebook, Twitter, Box, or any other cool company that allows me take a "tour"...

These days, everyone seems to be telling me to "lean to learn", as thats an art without which no-one can move forward. I tried googling the thing, but the problem is, there's just no direct way to "learn to learn", so I was wondering how you guys "learnt to learn". When I say "learn to learn", this is the sense in which I mean it: http://jamesaltucher.quora.com/The-Skills-We-All-Need-But-College-Doesnt-Teach

What do you think ? I'm really looking forward to it, but nothing seems to have popped up in the last few days, and it's 17th Jan already.

With the amount of hype around it, it won't be back I guess...

Hi!

I'm a 14 year old kid from India. I have recently cleared ZCO(Zonal Computing Olympiad). I'm preparing for INOI now. Can someone mentor me and help me learn algorithms ?

Mainly, I need help learning graph theory and dynamic programming. In graph theory, I know the basic concepts like pdfs, bfs and dijkstra and floyd-warshall. But when it comes to using the skills in questions, I fail and am unable to do so. DP is more like my weakest point. So, can someone help me ? I can't really pay much, as my family isn't from a very high economic background, but help from the HN community will be really appreciated.

You may contact me at maverick[dot]nalin[at]gmail[dot]com or via facebook or other contact details my user ID page...

P.S. Hoping this doesn't violate HN laws...
