A shame you're getting downvoted, as your point is relevant. AirBnB did this in the early days- spamming craigslist users looking for hosts (from female sounding email addresses on gmail-- sounds like the "spam from gmail" t

You can't get OTP in a single bite, it's not bite sized. Learn you some Erlang for great good does its best to make it bite size. There's also getting started chapters on the elixir-lang.org site that do a good job-- not as b

This is not the first time a YC company has "hacked" their way into success-- for example AirBnBs spamming of Craigslist users and violating Craigslists ToS in other ways. In fact, these kinds of things come up so often I wonder

That tweet is simply dishonest. Expecting Apple to make a migration assistant to help people move off of its platform is absurd and hypocritical.

Isn't that an HTC One?

Plus nobody pays for Apps on other platforms. Developers who release on iOS and android see 10-100 times the revenue on iOS. Partly this is piracy, but a lot of it is culture. More than that, even on iOS the paid App model is going away a

You're not far at all, you're exactly being an ideologist. If you look at Apple's practices you can't find a single one that google doesn't emulate. BTW, the restrictions on the App Store? They are there on the Pla

Well, I haven't seen a lot of non-political stuff about the Apple announcements. Even open sourcing Swift was criticized and used as an opportunity to bash Apple. It's kinda bad when HNers are bashing a company for the "crim

You notice Google maps, that failure of an Application, is available on the App Store, along with Google Now, Google Earth and lots of other apps from Google. The idea that Apple won't let google applications on their store is just goo

Oh really? I notice that you all are just assuming so. Exactly what data are apps not able to reach on iOS that they are able to reach on Android? If Google cared about their customers they could write this kind of App as well. But google

Neither has Apple. Remember it was Apple that forced the music industry to go from DRM encumbered music to DRM free, etc. etc. The Evil Apple mythology is pure political ideology on the part of Apple haters / Google Zealots. And I&#x27

The idea that you're locked up in an Evil Apple Fortress, while Google is the open land of the free is not only hyperbolic dogma, it's simply false. Apple and Google both make access to the lists of songs, contacts, photos, etc da

Elixir is so much more than syntactic sugar... but you can't deny that it's also very, very sweet. I think it's the best language out there-- the power of erlang and OTP and the fun of, well, elixir. It's more fun than

Do you think the writer of this article actually got educated? I would argue they have not been educated, nor have they matured. And that right there is an indictment of the college system.

by MCRed 11y ago
Absolutely true. But everyone still is responsible for their actions... even if they got bad advice. That to me is the definition of being an adult.

iCloud has better uptime than Amazon Web Services. People bash Apple and iCloud and claim they can't do backend software, but they ignore that iTunes has been trooping for over a decade under tremendous load without a pickup. Contrast

If you're serious about making an App, then yes, you should spend the $100. You will get it back in the first couple of days if you make a good app. The $100 is to keep out the shovel ware and crap-- look at all the junk in the store

Everything. The way debugging is integrated. Interface Builder-- nobody has anything like that to compete with it. It's totally integrated so you can really develop efficiently, and the simulator makes testing quick and easy. I've

Also, Apple tends to figure out what they have and try to get it right before releasing it widely. They don't want to throw things out there and then cause a lot of forks and language wars. The idea that it should be open source fro

I think that doesn't support your hypothesis--- 31k in one year compared to 70k in 6 years implies a lot more momentum for swift than go.

The best Web development framework of all time was WebObjects, which started at NeXT. It was basically Cocoa for the web. It was wonderful. When Apple bought NeXT they continued it for awhile and ported it to Java to try and make it more

This will give you a static stream, which means if your bandwidth dips or the demand spikes you may have problems. So don't complain if you have problems with it.

You're able to watch it- just come back this after noon when the quicktime stream is posted. You're just not able to watch it live. By definition, since you only have windows and android devices you're not an Apple developer

Apple released an open protocol for dynamically scalable streaming that anyone could adopt. It is only with this protocol and the resulting increase in efficiency that they can deliver such a popular event at such volume. The number o

This WWDC is the most underwhelming one evah!!!! Seriously, though, I'm pretty excited. Each year is the worst ever-- kinda like SXSW these days-- to some people. I don't understand where they are coming from. Sure, some years

Apple isn't going to turn into Microsoft. And there's a reason why this is the wrong product. iOS is already OS X enough. Running a desktop operating system on a tablet doesn't make sense. If you want a laptop that's

I love Objective-C and once I saw it, I stopped programming C++. I'm not a masochist. I think Swift is interesting and might be really great-- too early to tell for me. But Objective-C has done well, and especially when paired with Ap

It would be very out of character of Apple if it weren't configurable. Yes, iOS is secure, but OS X has always been more open in this regard and there's really no reason to believe that they won't continue this trend. After
