I still don't know why anyone outside the techospher will ever pay to use app.net. Does a material number of users outside the techosphere even care that some apps are having their access restricted? Does anyone outsidethe techosphere eve

People purchase products for all kinds of reasons. Don't be "that guy" that says only smart people "buy X".

I understand that the HN audience finds it incredibly simple to do. My point being, go ask your family members who don't frequent HN (or sites like it) what a user-agent is.

I couldn't disagree more. Most importantly, I'm not sure it is safe to say users expect an IDENTICAL experience (experience being the most important word) on their mobile as they got from their desktop.

I challenge your assumption that the average person knows how to spoof user agents.

Don't mix "development cost" with "overall support cost". Overall support will include specific feature testing, regression testing, and user testing. Additionally, support tickets may be opened and introduce support costs in ticket manage

You can put all the disclaimers you want before a use and they will "venture forth into the unknown". However, they will ignore (if they even read/understood it) your warning and then bury you in support tickets, complain loudly to their f

Historically, the answer will be yes. Apple launches a new model ever year the conversion rates from last years model holders to the new model are really high. This is even higher then conversions from consumers who bought two models ago

I imagine this can be done with almost all handsets, laptops, etc. I'm guessing this is more "human nature" than Apple Fanboy'sm at a large consumer scale.

I am by no means implying it takes "extreme" hard work. I'm merely stating that on average it takes more work then people realize.

Anyone else hit 'command + w' to see what it does to then have the damn window exit on them ..... ARGH!!!! :)

Anybody can be anything they want to be. It just takes more work, time, commitment, and tenacity than people realize.

I don't agree with this. I think it is VERY common that couples who have been with each other for a long period of time need to "spice it up" to keep things going. Eating the same "wholesome meal" for twenty years will get boring no matter

I really don't like the tone of this post. Getting "angry" about candidates CV's and given the impression you think less of them is a bit much. It's absolutely okay to have a preference for the type of candidate you are looking for. Even b

Most students aren't aware that a "B" and a greater portfolio is better. Additionally, that is contextual. From my understanding Google would prefer the A. So a "B" with a "look at this side project" might get you iced against another can

I am my sister in-law both do this. It's a great way to purchase a vacation home and off-set the cost. Just make sure you financially plan for the worst and hope for the best :)

I had a similar reaction. I guess this would be for co-pays, or the balance owed for what isn't covered by the insurance company.

I can hear it now, "but hey, during code year I learned how to hello world, why is your estimate so hi, it's not that hard". We should REALLY do this with healthcare. Who needs doctors. All hail self diagnosis year 2013!

It's a new twist on a "same ol' story" and thus can generate traffic. That's why it is getting attention.

I don't think this should focus on "are they good developers or not". That's independent and "case-by-case" at the individual level. I don't think we can characterize that entier portion of the workforce one way or the other. This is more

It might actually be illegal not to disclose that.

I've never had problem with the inspector but I have to agree the stack trace is HORRIBLE. Almost unusable. Microsofts IDE (the .net one from six years ago) had awesome debugging tools.

I never run into #'s 3,4. With 6, why god why are you doing it the long way? Control+clikc+drag to your header file. It will generate the property, and synthesize it for you automatically. As an aside, I've never found an IDE that was gre

Use whatever metrics is most important to you when deciding which OS to run. Some is "free as in speech", some focus on "does this help me git shit down a lot faster" ... some, well, who knows. Who cares for that matter. I pick a Mac lapt

Everything I've heard is that it is near impossible to find talent in Silicon Valley. I've heard it's also the same in NYC ... shit, it's the same everywhere.
