I know life in the Valley isn't cheap, but how much could I expect to spend on a shared apartment? I'm 20, single, and I don't mind having multiple roommates.

I've heard that when I go to look for an internship one of the most important things for a potential employer will be the projects that I've done in my free time. This will vary from employer to employer, but what is it…

I didn't attend MIT, Stanford, or any other school of note. I'm a computer science major at Memorial University of Newfoundland in Newfoundland, Canada and I'm wondering how much of a disadvantage I'll be at throughout…

I've been programming for just over a year now and I don't feel like I've learned nearly as much as I should have. Not only that, I feel like I'm not making any progress either. I feel like I'm stuck in an infinite loop…

I'm looking for a desk to put in my apartment. I'd like enough room to comfortably sit 2 24" monitors, and still have room to work on the problem sets for my math courses (this means books and paper thrown everywhere).…

So there was a thread earlier that had a list of HNers that have gotten Google+ invites. I went through the list and added some 55 or 60 people, which was nice, but I think we can do better than that. I propose that we…

I'm looking to gain some experience and I'd like to know if there is anyone out there who would like help on their product. I wouldn't charge anything since I love programming and the experience would be more than…

I'm a college student majoring in Computer Science and I love hacking on cool software projects. I have a bit of experience with Python and some experience with Django as well. I'm a quick learner though and I wouldn't…

People can name quite a few good things about their Macbook, but truth me told, I've probably heard them all. So, answer me this, what do you NOT like about your Macbook? What makes you want to take a sledgehammer to…

Over the last few years Macs seem to have gained a lot of popularity. I can't step foot on my university's campus without seeing one. I've always thought that Macbooks looked great, they are thin, sleek, and clean…

I'll be applying for internships soon and I'm considering applying to a startup. One of the biggest considerations for me is being able to work on something that I'm interested in and passionate about. How do I find a…

I'm a CS student right now and I'll be applying for internships later this year. This will be my first internship and I'm wondering whether I should focus on startups or large companies? I can see advantages for each: I…

I'm a CS major and I'm looking to start a company. Should I look for another techie to help with the programming, or should I find someone to take care of the business side of things? Should I look for both and have 2…
