If you're part of the 10% that pays attention, one of the people that looked forward at the professor, instead of to the side at the trees, you might find that you've learned something. Ancient mythology is full of fascinating stories and t

[1] I have almost zero experience with "grown-up" Cocoa and plenty with iOS, but assuming their factual correctness, they seem valid concerns. So you've never experienced weird bugs because Apple added a method that had the same name as y

Still wondering what apps uses that trick, and which ones have gotten rejected for trying to use it ;)

Some developers used to backdoor around this by passing data via the photo roll I've never heard of an app that did that. Can you name some?

And if you're already getting A's and still bored, start doing more side projects. Or: Take harder classes and take classes in a different field. Stop by and ask the professor's office and ask them the hardest question you can think of. A

Only so many apps are shown per page. You want 345 apps in the App Store. Thats a good 300+ other companies/people right there that are affected by this[1][2]. You seem to have forgotten that people can (and do) view apps by release date. A

Well, yes. You still have to market your app. Apple won't do that for you. They do give you some keywords that you can use to help searches, though. And I can't begin to describe how much I loathe seeing page upon page of apps that are larg

Git is a dvcs and while magical, GitHub isn't the only way to view a repository or its history. If you have a clone of your project (and you do have a clone, right? One copy of anything and its never safe), the entire history is still the

Who cares? You can still code and commit code. Thats the magic of a DVCS. If its bothering you that you can't push, take a break and watch the football game, or something[1]. The Bills might win their first game this season and the Jets wer

136 Million unique visitors[1]. Even if its not completely accurate, its still a very, very large number. I know plenty of people who use Yahoo as their homepage, for email and for search -- even if it isn't powered by Yahoo anymore, it sti

Stay offline. Shut off your computer. Stay in the shed. I bookmarked this and stopped reading after that. Nice reminder to get back to coding for me.

VB (5.5, not .NET) was my first language. I took it in high school as well, when I was 16 (4 years ago) Contrary to Dijkstra's claims, it won't kill your brain or make it impossible to learn any other language. And honestly? VB is great for

It has to at least know who upvoted, to prevent revotes. HN has to know who voted , not which way someone voted. HN doesn't let you change your vote once its been made, but it does let you downvote once you have enough karma.

How do you feel about Google/Bing/Archive.org/etc indexing HN and by extension your posts — and making a cached copy available?

Timestamps and an accurate karma count (instead of the -4 cap) spring to mind. I'm sure there are other issues as well.

One thing to add: I learned at Startup School that if you really want to talk to FAMOUS GUY at a conference, do it before he speaks. Never been to Startup School, but, I've found this to be the case at pretty much every conference I've be

Searches flat out don't work for me. It sits there loading and loading. And then it changes to say "Still loading…", but it never shows results. This also causes problems with labels; I can't filter email, at all. As an example of how slo

It would still introduce a second ribbon, but, if you have the two ribbons do a twist in the middle, I think it would work better.

For an overwhelming majority of applications out there, it really was just "recompile and it works" or even using Rosetta for the interim, until the developer got around to it. Apple even created a script that automatically converted scalar
