This is definitely not a waste of time. I do routines similar to this and I've definitely gotten stronger doing them. I also do many pull-ups as well which aren't on this chart, but all of these exercises are great exercises. You are NOT go

Ha! I have no problem with OO based programming. I do have a problem with OO based solutions for every problem. Sometimes it's worth pursuing alternative solutions, whether procedural or functional or a combination of what makes sense. Not

Not converting data into object graphs does not necessitate working with SQL in your domain model. I'm currently working on an application right now which favors simple data structures (hashes, arrays) over custom entities. It favors a busi

"At some point you'll have to parse out result and build an object graph anyway" This type of thinking has to stop! Sure, some times it may be necessary to extract data from SQL and turn it into some type of object. However, most of the tim

I actually started doing something similar to follow my own teams (thought someday I'd expand but just never have). Anyhow, one thing we've found is that player tweets are generally worthless and as others have already noted the bloggers/wr

I'm not sure that HN is a place for launching a site. It is, however, a great place to ask for feedback regarding most new software applications. I've been given great feedback on a couple of different websites I have done.

I'd like to see how .Net MVC would compare. I realize you'd have to spin it up on a Windows EC2 instance and there would definitely be some variance in the performance of that box vs. the nix EC2 instances but I'd still be interested in see

I'm guessing the downvotes are for the snideness of your remark. A more respectable way to phrase your question would've been to simply ask how this framework compares to some of the other well known Node frameworks and why might I look int

I work from home and go into the office 1 day a week (on Thursday). Google Now has picked up on this and every Thursday morning I'll have card on my home screen showing me estimated time to the office.

To be fair, this is using a very early technology in a new way. I'm sure if their plans work out, then the speed of production can be reduced, whether it's through customized 3D printers specific to this use case or by other means. I wouldn

I was going to suggest the same thing. Something like this combined with the Occulus Rift would be very entertaining and a step towards the idea of the Oasis. Not all the way through the book, but so far a great read and the technology desc

Sure, but with USB 3.0 getting similar speeds to the internal SSD (according to Anandtech) I can add another 64gb to my surface pro for 30 bucks! Try doing that on an iPad.

If you are already paid user of ST2 then ST3 will only cost you 30.00.

Ok, but they called it Zavers (and referred to their company as Zavers)...it wasn't something Google rebranded.

by akmiller 14y ago
Just so everyone knows, Zavers is a company (local to me here in Kansas City) that was bought by Google probably over 6 months ago now. This article doesn't even appear to mention that fact. Edit: Here is the techcrunch link to the story

But, if you are forced to name alphabetically you might start naming those related instance variables in a related way (which wouldn't necessarily be bad). For example in your case you might have: myFileBuffer and myFileBufferLength which w

True, and I didn't mean to suggest that people should just use my application instead of this. I guess I was just pointing out that this to me is a simple feature (one that I think I added in less than a days time to our app) and they've tu

I would concur with that. I also don't think that's a slight at all, what a great place to be as a company!

Thanks for the feedback and you weren't the first to be confused. We are working on new design on front side to help clear it up. We thought about larger use-cases but the problem I'd been experiencing as a parent with young kids in sports

Not sure why anyone would pay 10.00 for this. We offer this functionality free in our app at http://teamloopapp.com and not only that the people on the receiving end can choose to get via SMS as well. I'm sure you can find it for free in

$1,000 seems pretty meager to me. If I can share well over 50% of my code across multiple platforms then that is code that I don't have to rewrite in another language. If that 50% takes more than 10 hours to reproduce (allocating my time at

Someone writes you a check for your birthday, you don't have to drive to bank (or mail) to deposit. Simply take photo of front/back and send it via app and money is deposited into your account.

I currently use Simple for my discretionary spending account. I really love the interface. However, if they are serious about converting people to use it as their main bank then their entire focus should be on allowing multiple people on on

Much like the common definition of "bootstrapping" for entrepreneurs, which HN is targeted at, it provides programmers a way to bootstrap the look and feel of a product. It may not be a long term solution but it offers a quick, easy, and de

Yet the refactored example is still showing application domain logic being built within the web framework. For simple applications that are only ever going to be delivered via the web and only ever rely on one particular web framework this

That sounds like good advice. I'm certain they are aware of the problem. I had emailed the guy who owns the domain before any content was put up and I told him what our website was and what it did and he told me that he knew the teamsnap gu

Well that hasn't been our experience. We've dealt with many issues and we've had customers from 4.3 up to 6.0. Not to mention devices from 3GS and the original iPad up to the latest. I haven't done any Android applications yet but I can ima

> iOS has no fragmentation I think the correct statement would be iOS has "less" fragmentation. They still have fragmentation though. Not only through the devices but also the version of iOS running on the device. It can get pretty hair
