Having to zoom in and out is amnoying for thise sites without a mobile version. Is there a better way?

From high of 122.70

Been scouring through craigslist and padmapper the past couple weeks. Most listings are crap, and the ones that are decent rarely reply back.

I did a search of HN and found previous requests for roommate help have gone unnoticed, so I'm not very optimistic about this one either.

Little bit about me: 23 years old, have a steady job, clean, have a good sense of humor (I was going to say funny, but then I realized no one laughs at my jokes), likes all things web.

Would love to live with fellow hackers or at least someone involved in SF/bay area startup scene, but at this point I'd just choose a quiet place to live with chill roommates.

My email is 20000.legs@gmail.com, if you're interested or know someone I'd be very grateful.

Given the choice of 20,000 twitter api credits vs 150, the choice is clear. Just wanted to make sure it is too good to be true.

Its one thing I wish I did better when writing code. The names are either obscure or turn into sentences before I can fully express what they try to do.

There probably isn't a surefire way to get better at this and something that must be worked on and cultivated. But any advise pointing the way is appreciated.

Surely 0 doesn't count.

Looking for something that spits out user behavior based on commits, branches etc.

without it turning into "that's what they said last time", "party like its 1999" "its not a bubble if everyone says it is" and other such arguments?

With LinkedIn ipo and bubble talk everywhere I can't help but notice the reality is being drowned with all these nonsensical arguments.

Personally I thought 2x increase was bit too high, then I found this article:

Firm......................Date..............First-day gain

I did a little more research and came across similar "bubble talk" article about Google, from 2004 (Technically there was a bubble, just wasn't tech induced).

Is it possible we are shell shocked from the last one and even minor excitement makes us all scream bubble in unison?

Angels? Investors?

I was too young in the 90s-00s era, but couple companies (fb, twitter etc) with questionable valuations is a bubble? From the tales I've heard back then pretty much anyone could whip up a business plan involving the web and they could funded in millions and get to IPO within a year notice.

And even if there is a bubble right now, would it drag the entire US economy like it did in the 00s?

There's lot of talk about computer science basis in hackernews, but in most job descriptions I see only mention of web frameworks and other stuff like javascript, dbs and what not.

Though I do see computer science degree as requirement in most of them and fully understand that with Rails and other frameworks its easy to create a web app thanks to numerous open source libraries and tutorials online.

The reason I'm asking is I was wondering if I should spend at least the next 3 months learning about the computer science basics or spend that time getting better at Ruby and learning new technologies that I'll directly use.

Sure learning both is better, but I'm more interested in web programming than writing a compiler or other intensive tasks. (True the experience and critical thinking would be helpful.)

Thanks.
