Thank you for the reply! It's great to see devs interacting on HN. I've written thousands of lines of Ansible playbooks, and I'm a huge fan. I see others on my team struggling with these very basic on-boarding issues, that I

Ansible is great, but could really have a better first time experience. The system itself is incredibly simple, but the docs and instructions are anything but, and seem to be modeled after Chef and Puppets which are frankly terrible. Inste

Nitpick, but the "GET /people/{id}/exists" in the example to check if the instance exists is a bit weird, would suggest "HEAD /people/{id}" for this type of operation.

The extreme download vs upload traffic asymmetry between Comcast and L3/Netflix has been mentioned several times as a straw man argument for why Comcast is justified in charging Netflix directly. Maybe Netflix could find some creative

I agree fully, it's a huge productivity win. I built a small layer that simulates or at least stubs out all the device-only APIs for the desktop target; switching resolutions & DPI dependent assets (works), loading translated strin

LibGDX is a lot of fun to work with, and a great way to target both Android and iOS with the same code base. What you might not have thought of, is that you don't have to limit yourself to games. I created a successful productivity app

I used Norvig's frequency counts as input for the board generation algorithms (in Scala) for my Android word game "5 Star Words" [1]. With this as the start plus a few other tricks, I'm typically able to reach an average

IntelliJ or the upcoming Android Studio (based on IntelliJ), which will eventually replace Eclipse as the recommended IDE, makes Android development much more pleasant. Give it a try.

It seems fairly limited right now, and doesn't do much to alleviate the pain of supporting many different push notification services. You still have to code the client side pieces for each platform separately instead of providing a uni

Yes! I'll happily pay $35 to turn my "Smart" TV into the dumb screen it should be. Compare: My Samsung "Smart" TV: Find TV remote, power on. Wait a while, after which the TV will default to showing static (not very

How does the anonymous gathering of statistics harm you? As an app developer, this data allows me to measurably improve my apps. I have several free (no ads either) apps in the Android market, and even in the most trivial of apps I will inc

I couldn't find any pricing information even after registering. It only says its free to try, but no further clarification in the docs or the FAQ. While it looks promising, I can't go and integrate this into my app without knowing

Great, now that my Twitters, Googles and Dropboxes are 2FA enabled, how about a US bank follows suit? Pretty please? Ally, ING?

Same here, I signed up for their Node.js monitoring (saw the logo, then specifically ticked that's what I needed during sign-up), then discovered it's not actually available yet after the fact. Since then it's just been a barrage of emails,

I don't have the patience to use a GUI. The CLI autocompletes git commands, filenames, remotes, branches, tags, anything you can think of simply by pressing tab once. Just press tab twice to see all options for the context, for example list

The PyPy memory usage also keeps increasing linearly during the benchmark, reaching 220MB at the end. The CPython version is using exactly 23MB for the entire run with zero fluctuation. I'm guessing the recursive nature of the program is ki

Unfortunately it's not a silver bullet for performance. I have a relatively short Python program that does statistical analysis. It also contains a lot of string matching and is deeply recursive. I just added a benchmark mode, which gives t

Google Docs doesn't have a Save function, instead it has an endless revision history. Which makes me think... if I'm coding and the project is in git repository, why am I still manually saving all the time? Why not automatically save every

The introduction to the book tells you it's not for beginners but experienced programmers. So complaining that it's not a good first book is like complaining coffee makes for a terrible cup of tea. For someone who has programmed in C, C++,

On the surface of it, a GCE n1-standard-1 and a EC2 m1.medium may look comparable. Each cost $0.12/hour, both have the same 3.75 GB of RAM etc. Sure, there's some differences; GCE may very well be faster, and the EC2 instance has local stor

To answer your Android development concern specifically, as I didn't see anyone else commenting on it yet: Having done Android work in both Eclipse and IntelliJ, I much prefer the latter. It has nice tools out-of-the-box for every aspect of
