Stanley B. Lippman - C++ Primer - http://www.amazon.com/Primer-5th-Stanley-B-Lippman/dp/032171...

I haven't been using C++ for a few years now and I needed a quick refresher. While I wouldn't call C++ Primer quick it covers all the basics really well. Great resource for people new to the language.

Second this. It's the only book I own that specifically covers a programming language. I own the fourth edition - has a slight different cover.

Only complaint is the same as yours, it's pretty verbose but I guess that's what you get with c++.

Ruby: David A. Black - The Well-Grounded Rubyist - http://www.amazon.com/Well-Grounded-Rubyist-David-Black/dp/1...

Great both for people new to the language and those looking to strengthen their foundations.

It's fun! I didn't know YouTube had this functionality.

A few comments:

- It could use a couple of smaller radius settings though (1km and 100m). Nothing that Chrome Console can't fix but not everyone is a developer.

- The intro page is a bit confusing, at first glance it might seem like an Android application, "Google Play" button being most prominent.

- The search bar is a bit short, if you just type the number and street name it's likely you'll end up in a different country or state.

Thank you so much for the feedback. I come from a C++ dev, hope you know how hard to be good at Web UI :D. But trust me, it will be better in time.

It would be extremely helpful if you added filtering by country. Most of these are only available in the U.S. and Canada.

Or changed the promotion values depending on country. I know Hello Fresh offers promotions in Germany (I have some of their promo cards in my living room, undecided if I want to try it out, and it is for €20 off, IIRC - I am at work at the moment). So the info they offer $40 off is kinda wrong for me...

Good point. Adding location-based info for startups is definitely on the top of my to-do list. Though it could be a bit tricky gathering all the information accurately (startups change their pricing on whim).

Hi Kruk! Thanks for checking out the site. Your feedback is very similar to @anilgulecha's suggestion to add India specific startups. I'll certainly prioritize categorizing startups by location.

11 AM EST is a bit late for all the people on the Eastern Hemisphere, especially in Asia. 10 AM would be much more preferable.

I can't easily change it now for tomorrow, but if people still feel this way next month, let us know and we'll shift it back an hour.

Looks like the hot payment startups are finally getting serious about Asia. Braintree recently launched in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia, now Stripe in Japan.

Assuming they will want to avoid wasting resources battling each other the next logical step would be for Stripe to launch in South Korea and for Braintree to launch in Indonesia.

Exercise: Don't do things other people tell you to do. Do things you think might be fun. Don't run, don't go to the gym. Sign up for Taekwondo, Pilates, dancing or swimming lessons.

If something is worth doing it's worth doing right: If you really want to learn something spend at least 15 minutes every day studying it. If you can't commit to that, stop wasting your time.

Some university classes are boring but that's not a reason to dismiss them. You never know what knowledge might become useful to you a few years down the road.

I use Kindle Voyage and the reading experience in the dark is superior to that of iPhone 6. The screen is lit but it doesn't shine in your face, so you can read comfortably for a prolonged period of time.

I still read a lot on the phone because it's always available but with 3G enabled Kindle you can freely switch between the two devices and always pick up where you left off no matter what device you're using.

I somewhat still prefer reading paper books but I do majority of my reading on Kindle. It's always available, it can hold thousands of books and if there is a book you want to read chances are you can get it on your device within minutes.

I've had very good experiences with Dell both in Japan and Poland.

[Japan] One day the fan of my Latitude started making a clicking noise so I called the service, scheduled a visit for the next Saturday and got the fan replaced, even though the noise didn't occur when the serviceman was testing it. In the process of replacing the fan he noticed my case is missing two rubber feet and promised to send me a replacement. A week later I got a whole bottom part of the case in mail.

[Poland] My dad had some problems with BSODs on his Vostro and after a bit of back and forth with the service they replaced the whole motherboard for him. Almost 3 years into warranty, 1 month before it expired.

If I ever decide to go back to Windows or Linux I'm going with Dell and their NBD warranty.

Wesołych Świąt Bożego Narodzenia!

All the best to the community. It's the only place on the Internet where comments are often more insightful than articles :)
