I would tend to agree with you, especially because the season is supposed to have more than 10 episodes (13 or so). Also, probably a very tiny fraction of people already paying for Netflix would choose to go the pirating route.

Couldn't agree more. I clicked on the link being skeptical, but the landing page is so well done that I came way impressed. Congratulations on shipping this product, and wish you all the very best.

It's 9K. I really wish you'd Google'd that yourself. I have no idea about the podcasts. Here's the link for reference: https://daringfireball.net/feeds/sponsors/

I had not known about your product, but a quick look at the walkthrough video was very useful. Really sorry that it did not work out, the product did come across as being very polished from a UI/workflow perspective. I know this must

I've done the same for my chargers as well (as in using Sugru). I love your idea of making a mold for better finish as well as selling the "robustified" chargers. I think there will be a market for this, but best of all, I th

They'll recommend Chrome (I am assuming the content blocker cannot persist across UIWebviews or WKWebViews). "If you want to view this content, download and install Chrome" In this case, I expect Google and the advertiser&#x2

Pretty much an identical background for me, and I recently had to write a fairly non-trivial client side application (some drag-and-drop, quartz-composer like interface) and I chose Dart. It worked really well. I find that sometimes it&#x2

Darn. Thanks for letting me know. I was thinking of starting to experiment with WKWebView for an app that currently uses UIWebViews. So I guess FF using WKWebViews (even if they can get over the philosophical/techinical difference with

by amartya916 12y ago
Yes, Apple is definitely to "blame" as far as handicapping UIWebViews are concerned. That being said, the new WKWebview is supposed to have all the Javascript optimizations (and the Nitro engine) that mobile Safari uses. Chances a

Looking at this post as well as the Firefox OS phone ($33 one) on HN today, I was wondering whether it makes sense for Amazon to release an FFOS device with Amazon's product's on centre stage (Prime video, Amazon store (not the Am

Thanks for the shout-out :) (am part of the Sendbloom team). I wish the PersistIQ team well, it's really exciting to see other entrants in this space, especially one that's backed by YC. Verifies that there is a demand, or at lea

Nicely done! If someone from the GitHub team is reading this, is there any plan in the future to integrate "issues" into the desktop client? P.S. like the new style logo, seems Yosemite ready :)

by amartya916 12y ago
Yup. At Sendbloom.co we have used Dart to build a tool that is used by sales people to send out email campaigns. The tool is inspired by quartz composer/Max MSP's interaction paradigms (drag-and-drop visual programming). As someo

I really like Dart too and actually have worked on projects of multiple types (e.g. a game/simulation, parts of a web-app etc.). The just seems right thing that you mention actually resonates with me (in fact, resonated enough for me t

Regardless of whether he made it in a week or not, the criticism by the OP was constructive. Just being nice and saying that "this is fantastic", wouldn't help the developer learn either. *Input lag is something Carmack et al

Thanks for sharing this. Often times we let things slide w.r.t. marketing speak, but I believe it's important to call companies out on this. Did you have to make a case for "why" that claim was unsubstantiated (fairly obvious

I second the reference to Doors of Perception. If you folks have the time, and you haven't already read about Sasha (Alexander Shulgin), give it a whirl. Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Shulgin Ther

Indeed, I would love to know a breakdown of the Mac vs. iOS app sales, especially because of the price parity.

This might be far-fetched, but I wonder whether it is Lenovo. Just saying because Lenovo's PCs and Servers have excellent Ubuntu support.

I'd love this feature! I might be wrong, but I think the VLC devs have to incorporate this using the Chromecast api's? Anyone with the knowledge care to enlighten us? EDIT: Seems like the API only works for Android, iOS and Chrome

Apple can do a lot better, in fact all these counterpoints you mention are tripe, let me elaborate: a. $100 (this 99 bullshit annoys me) is a pretty big investment for a student. A common argument is that if one is able to afford Apple ha
