   Question: In the example given, you supply a salt and a domain when coming up with your UDID. Isn't the salt of another app really easy to decompile and figure out? After that, a competing app could find out if you've used the device ID alr

   No! I saw it here in Toronto and it was hilarious. Just bought it for $5 to re-watch!

   Github absolutely uses Rails. Twitter too, although I understand less so than when they launched.

   I'd say Hacker News succeeds despite its UX. You can't collapse threads, many pages miss basic navigation elements, etc.

   Why not just create a User model that has a null username and password field? If they sign up, you fill in those attributes. No need for a second table!

    The PS1 was released before the N64 and supported C compilation. In fact, in the early days Sony didn't want people to use much ASM because they were worried about backwards compatibility on future systems. The PS1 port of Doom suffered fro

    I suspect the second method is just an example of how you could make an asynchronous operation that performs a subtracting of two numbers, after a method (CountEveryBitByHand) is completed. To keep it simple they should have left out the se

    The screenshot comparisons are quite damning. Also, previously on Hacker News: Zynga CEO: "Just copy what they do and do it until you get their numbers." http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1675483

    I looked into this and could only find mention of an app for The Score and Cineplex. Seems like nothing related to games to me, so the acquisition seems odd? Toronto already has around half a dozen mobile game developers - I'm curious as to

    I don't disagree. But I offer this thought: do you feel like you might tell your kids or grandkids that you remember a time when any of your friends could try out the software your created on their own devices? When anyone had the ability t

    We weren't upset because other people got away with something. In fact, I don't think anyone has created a remotely similar app. We were upset because it demonstrates that Apple can effectively make up reasons to block your app when none pr

    I don't think it's fair to say it costs you more than $1500 to host one blog when in fact it's a series of sites. It gives people the wrong impression of how much the database costs relative to hosting. (As an aside, I run a site that gets
