Pair-programming 100% of the time sounds like a nightmare to me. I need uninterrupted focus - something I can't do with someone else there constantly, even if we're working on the same thing

On a semi-related note - I've been browsing HN for years, and a few times I've tried to recall an article/discussion about a topic, but can't recall the right keywords to type into the search box at the bottom. What woul

That FRIGN guy really needs to get off his high-horse and learn how to treat people with respect.

I haven't actually. I feel like my previous girlfriend told me I was an extremely quiet sleeper so I don't think I have problems breathing when I'm asleep.

I'm not the parent but I experience sleep paralysis fairly regularly - maybe once or twice a month. It's happened enough times that I can usually recognise it and can either try to wake myself up or wait until I go back to sleep,

That process can be more complicated than it seems. I tried to publish my open-source game on F-Droid, but the build process involves building native components with a specific third-party version of the NDK toolchain, as well as shell scri

I inexplicably love this story. Often if I'm at work and I feel like there's not much work for me to do and I feel like I'm being paid to do nothing, I'll read this story. I recently found it posted to this wiki, which c

Me too. I hate the culture that tech-companies seem to be gravitating towards in general - gimmicks like open-plan offices, frequent parties and outings, games etc. I didn't get into software development for the perks - I did it do sol

That seems odd. Perhaps it's to do with the fact that the app can act as your primary SMS app as well (I use it like this). But still, should be able to have it as an option.

They have a Github repo with some of the source code up (mostly just stuff to do with character movement and control). https://github.com/noelfb/celeste Apparently it's based on this framework: https:/&#x2

I made a port of Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup to Android on a whim, mostly because I just wanted to play it on my phone. I didn't really know how to do it at first, but I'd seen similar games had been ported to Android (Nethack, Angb

I'm also in Australia. Most of my messaging goes through other apps, mostly WhatsApp or FB messenger. I do have a few friends that are holding out on SMS but mostly I just treat it as a backup service for when I don't have data. S

I'd love to see this project on Github, though I'm sure that'd be highly unlikely - it's probably mired in a bunch of red tape, and there's probably some ridiculous technical reason why that wouldn't be feasibl

Cool idea, I used to play this when I was a child. I'm unable to download it right now, but my initial concerns are: - How do you stop people from cheating by singing the words, or otherwise just saying the name of the song? Or, depend
