I am trying to understand why putting large binaries under source control is a good idea in the first place. Unless you have a way to make sense of the diffs this will not help right? and to to make sense of the diffs, you need to under

I am not expert in this area, but I watched their presentation in NYC (or was it Columbia U) about a year ago. The way he avoided answering any technical questions made me think these guys are either full of shit, or they have such a great

It used to be bad, but at least on iOS they are reasonably good now, I've never felt this way. and I am not very easy to please. Which app are you talking about?

Issac Newton is on this list, his death at 84 hardly qualifies as unfortunate or unfitting. I mean, even today, 84 is well above life expectancy in most of the world.

I respect Colin and what he does, but tarsnap is too expensive for general purpose/consumer back ups, I mean photos and videos.

The article is very good, I read it all the way to the end and learned quite a few things. But the title is just a bit misleading, it is more like "test coverage in go, with an example using http cache". Thanks for writing and s

I feel very uncomfortable that I cannot see what is so brilliant about this book that Bill Gates goes on and on about it. I tried to read it and was bored and stopped half way through it. Anybody can shed some light? Share what you've

I understand that this is against the "wisdom", but I always wanted to build a compensation-transparent-company. In which it is open (at least internally) how much everybody makes (including equity). And people have ways to c

jerematasno thanks for mentioning cycript. I didn't know about it. Just watched Saurik's intro video. Very fascinating.

If you have personal experience, read, any of the books, I (and I imagine other HNers) appreciate your comments on the books. Specifically are the "AI Game Programming Wisdom" books, the new revisions of the same thing? or they co

Another group of users of free proxies (I had been in that group in the past), are people living in countries behind state run firewalls/filters. You want to read the news, or even check your email (in some cases) and you need a proxy.

For a secure email service provider, they are very vague about the details. For example, they say there is a second password with which the messages are encrypted and this is only under user's control. Questions: - So how does the rece

Absolutely, I've seen similar things. Even after explaining the pitfalls some people are reluctant to do it. Partly because people don't want to embrace the aws ("cloud", the new way of doing things) completely, they sti

That is definitely a very good practice. Still it does not eliminate the need for something like Hologram, since you still need to take care of your keys (both for security reasons) and to make sure your dev env is as close as possible to

I was also wondering how popular LDAP is? If you are thinking of using Hologram, or can benefit from it, would you please comment and mention if you already use LDAP or some other alternative?

Great news, and very good work, thanks for sharing. One thing that I am concerned about (or have questions about), is how would you make sure you are not exposing the service to outside, so that when the laptop is on a coffee shop network

- I personally find this idea of "the closer your `intelligence` is to man the more rights you get" hard to understand. If a chimp has "some human rights" then why not a dog, or a cow can get "some" too. - Als

Part of the aggressive downvoting comes from people who have actually lost loved ones or lost money and time in road accidents and really really want this technology to get somewhere. If I had downvote powers I would have downvoted you too.

I am trying to figure out what kind of start up can benefit from this. In theory, you can be more focused if you and your team are isolated. Maybe it is easier to answer this question: What kind of start ups will not benefit from this? I&
