I'm assuming they're talking about the Dropbox logo that is displayed on the Dropbox folder and/or the sync icons displayed on the files and folders inside the Dropbox folder, functions which are likely reserved to the default System folder

I'd be curious to read what people on HN think of one particular aspect of the story: she's not planning on using her old Gmail address anymore, which made me think of the longevity of one's email address and what one can do to keep control

To be perfectly honest, I find your comment well written but I'm not sure what you're saying. (I'm not trying to ignore your comment, there are just many things that I don't feel relate very much to mine. Plus, I've always been pretty bad a

Nature is frankly amazing. Since it's "spider season" over here, I've been amazed at the fact that something as small as a spider can build something as complicated as a spider web. And that's putting aside all the biochemistry of creating

This is part of the things that I list under "human-built things I technically understand (more or less) but are still completely baffling if I stop and think about it". Amongst these: - same example with Google Instant: the fact that what

Hum… didn't get invited this year. That's too bad because I feel like I would have benefited from it more this year than the previous ones. Disappointed but I'll survive :) It's nice that it will be on Justin.tv, but IMO the best thing abou

Of course, the vast majority of them will be test apps, but it's still an interesting metric of the interest in both platforms. Even if Heroku makes it super easy, creating an app still involves at least creating an account with them, insta

I'm not surprised at all. It's (or was) running on a small VPS with prgmr.com and was supposed to work for the demo and that's it. And it was pretty slow for just me already. As I said, the code is very inefficient, so small server+code sla

I built FlickMunk. The TechCrunch description is pretty off: the goal is to show a different visualization of movie theater schedules using your current location. To be honest, I am very surprised (and glad) of that result. In fact when it

As far as the $25k for merch go, I believe that they had to spend quite a lot to fulfill their Kickstarter promises. Somebody had made the calculation that it would end up being fairly significant.

We had a landline at first, mostly for emergency. That cost us about $13-15 a month with fees and taxes. And all we got from it was unwanted sales calls and debt collectors who were looking for someone who had that number before. For people

Nice use of Twitter's Bootstrap: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/ I've used it for a recent one-off project and it's great and meant for that kind of things: good looking pages even if they were thrown together quickly.

True. To be honest, I know of that part of Apple's history from what I've read years after the facts. I still have the impression that, though it wasn't going great when he left, his leaving accelerated the descent. But my main point is tha

Sure, everyone knows that he's been having health problems, but he could have made this decision just because "it was the right time" not because his health problems had worsened. Like he could have gone on, but felt that everything was in

It's true that the first time Steve Jobs left Apple, it didn't take long for things to go badly for the company, but I feel that this time around (that is, since 1997 when he came back as CEO), Steve Jobs surrounded himself with a great tea

I find that interesting from Twilio's perspective: GroupMe was using Twilio to send SMSs (at least at first, but they didn't have much time to change the most important part of their service) and Twilio has recently added some VoIP componen

Since the submitter is the author, I'll say this to you: this looks interesting but I would preface the script with a short paragraph explaining what you're trying to do.

I really like the simplicity and overall fairness of the plan. The only thing I wouldn't like (and it could very well be that way for technical reasons[1]) is the part where only current employees get a part of it. I understand the idea beh

many deaf people prefer to type I can see that. It's my understanding that it's common for deaf people to be mute or have difficulty to speak, but they would need to know what is being said on the other end, which I can't quite provide at

by Timothee 15y ago
No I didn't know. But, at this point, what I built would work for mute people, rather than deaf people, since I don't transcribe what is being said. I imagine I could work something out, but seeing what Google Voice does with this, I'd be s

Good point on fast typing. Amongst other things, I wanted to add some customizable preset sentences accessible through keyboard shortcuts (e.g. "Hello my name is Tim and I can't really speak right now") as well as a log of what you already
