Yeah but which one are you going to trust a chunk of your business revenue to?

Honesty! I want a bank that will always give me the best rates on a deposit (allowing perhaps for notice times). The current crooks ALL steadily lower interest rates on accounts after a couple of years as they introduce new account types. H

Reminds me of just how entertaining this guy was when he was blogging regularly. I miss this stuff.

Why not create something new instead of pirating someone else's work?

As the Uno card game is played using a specially designed pack of cards then it is fairly clear that the game is covered by copyright as well as a Trademark. Copying without permission would definitely be a no-no. Stick to games using the s

I thought all of these died out in the 80's when most were born. I had a boss at the time who thought that one of these would prove effective - at least in reducing the development burden on the Department. Those that I tried all proved fan

If you write classes that have methods that can change a non observable state of the class then you have followed the wrong path. Not at all sure that functional programming will prove a cure though.

Under the weight of words? To give employment to millions of hacks with nothing else to write? To give Belfast taxi drivers something to say? Because it could?

Yes, you post it to HN (if it is any good). If it has been posted before then this is the same as an upvote (well you did think it was relevant and interesting did you not?) and if it is new then you will see it posted to the new items page

I think this is normal - for any project that is reasonably challenging. It is a tough slog to plough through all of the "must have" code blocks (or what have you) to get to that near mythical minimal viable product. I am at a similar stage

The (very little) information provided implies that this only works for communicating with existing users - so a bit like the first person to pay for a telephone to be installed - who are you going to call? A good demo would help - perhaps

Do we have to treat every brain dead action by the TSA in the USA as if it is a news item of importance to software start-ups? Great stuff for other sites I am sure but just clutters up HN.

I have taken UI aspects from the HN approach to a news site (plus a few ideas from StackOverflow) to include news pages on a site otherwise developed using ASP.NET, SQLServer and jQuery - point being that it was not very difficult to build

1. Tackle a hard problem : a) is interesting b) hard to follow 2. Choose a technology stack that will work for our projected scale and that we knew well (hint - may not be pop). We are having fun and will (shortly) be delivering as much joy

Large companies have processes and procedures - if you are not comfortable with that (and thats certainly fine from my perspective) then just back away - its no big deal. Me - I will never ever work for a company with an HR department - I c

Why not just use the jQuery UI library et al? Our ASP.NET based start-up does just that...

Spot on reply to the question. If the person with a great idea has something (very) substantial to offer a project based upon it then they are clearly a key component of the idea execution and should not fear discussing the idea with potent

The trouble is that it is not entirely clear which cookies are exempt and which are affected in many cases. We have a site with a cookie set for logged in users - perfectly normal. This cookie is essential for the operation of certain aspec

Freelance without a portfolio of completed projects or strong skills sounds like a recipe for hard times.

The editorialised title to this post (nothing like the actual one) invites hoots of derision.

If 90% is even close to the true figure then it suggests there is a new line of approach for a start-up. Monitor TechCrunch and analyse each of the featured business ideas. Where an effective business model can be worked out then run a para

Disagreement is a key component of an interesting discussion (well sometimes). Down-voting as a short cut to contributing to the discussion is pretty childish - if people do not care enough to make their point in words then they should tota

Absolute nonsense of course - but if folks must post Daily Mail items what can you expect?

We use Mac mini thingies for iOS development (hooked up to a decent third party monitor) - but agree that otherwise the cost of Apple hardware is pretty difficult to justify.

You missed the worst one in the world - Mumps (or M). Terrible language that produces (seemingly automatically) terrible software. It also rots the brains of those that are forced to use it. All of those listed have their charms - seems har

I have been generating just such a QR code on my Android phone for a few months - to pass contact info to others. Works OK. Not sure about the "referral" tracking bit - but I am probably not your typical user. Lot of "prior art" using infra
