In the same situation here. A couple of things that made a huge difference on the food and grocery front for us were: - Ordering regular organic vegetable and meat boxes (we get a vegetable box once a week and meat once a fortnight). Find w

If you believe that success if proportional to the amount of time you dedicated to the project, brace yourself for a very cruel disappointment. This is just not how it works in startup-land, sorry :) But don't obsess about trying to crack a

There are two main reasons why people attend conferences. For some people (typically execs, sales people, recruiters, PR people, consultants, freelance professionals, etc), conferences are mostly or entirely about networking. They don't att

One last tip that bit us hard: beware of universal apps (apps designed for both iPhone and iPad). Once you've published your app as universal, there is no way back. You can't decide in a subsequent update to revert to an iPhone-only or iPad

For a moment here, I thought I was reading The Onion :) Anyone knows who is this outsourcing company? They seem to be doing a decent enough job.

A surprisingly good list. Beyond the xib issue, which other have talked about, I would add a couple of points: - If developing a trivial utility app you're expecting to release quickly, target iOS version N-1. Any user who is more that one

Completely agree on that. That's actually the very first Facebook feature that got me excited and that might make me go back to Facebook. This is also the obvious next step for social networks and one that quite a few startups (including ou

Like many, it's probably one of the first "feature" I bumped into with Gmail and that still annoys the hell out of me years later.

Wow, this is going to be one spectacular flop. Or how to turn something ridiculously simple (go to here.com to get Nokia Maps on your iPhone, since this is probably what Nokia is aiming at here) into an incomprehensible buzzword soup.

Very nice. I actually thought of implementing this a few months ago but a quick Google search brought up http://hackerslide.com/ (also open source), which works fine as well.

Instinctive understanding of programming constructs can vary widely from person to person. I never had any problems understanding loops - it always seemed obvious to me. I was happily coding away in Turbo Pascal at the age of 8 with nobody

I haven't tried the game yet but at first sight, it seems to be heavily inspired by Meego Harmattan / Symbian Belle - a beautifully designed UI (at least in its Meego implementation) that unfortunately never went anywhere due to Nokia killi

If you guys are actually real, then here is why my first impression was this was a piss-take / joke project: - The presentation video is slick and has obviously been professionally produced. First impression of the home page on the other si

The video on the home page is surprisingly polished and professionally produced but the script is an obvious piss-take. The home page on the other side is a quick & dirty job - looks like it's been thrown together in a couple of hours u

BTW, I hope that you upgraded the RAM in the Air to 8GB if you intend to run a VM on it. Trying to work on both Mac OS X and a VM on 4GB is quickly going to get very painful. TBH, if I was going to buy a new Mac today, I'd go for the new Ma

Interesting - I haven't actually reviewed my Mac's config in a while - I might pick up a few goodies in those lists myself. For what it's worth, this is what I would automatically install on any new Mac: - iStat Menus: RAM, network and CPU

I find it reasonably priced to be honest given how handy this is what I use it for. 3GB goes a long way actually. What would you find reasonable?

It's clearly linkbait but it is actually nicely written and informative so I'll give them a pass on this one.

To be honest, who cares about the hardware design here? This is very obviously a fake (or a cheap Chinese ripoff). Outside of China, nobody in their right mind would release something that's such an obviously MacBook Air clone. What's inter

No. Isn't it ironic how just a few hours after somebody posted the wikipedia article on Betteridge's Law of Headlines ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4092880 ), two of such headlines make the top 2 of HN :) More on topic, this looks l

That's what my whole comment was all about. Automatic generation of strongly-typed classes. Code completion. Compile-time type checking. Well-defined and strongly-typed API contract. Anything you want me to clarify?

This sort of comparison is fairly meaningless in many real-world situations as other have already pointed out. You'll find that with most payloads, compressed JSON will actually be significantly smaller than non-compressed MsgPack (or Thrif

"And one amusing detail – although eHarmony implores its users to use strong passwords including both upper and lower case letters, it saves the passwords in all upper case" This is truly beautiful - made my day :)
