Got sidetracked reading through the Overture.js documentation and source, which I hadn't seen before. It seems like a really impressive Javascript framework. Live queries ie. data views, lots of great animation support, nice set of sto

Hey folks! Ben from Nylas here—happy to answer any questions. React and Flux have worked out really well for us over the last eight months, and we're excited to share more of our approach with the HN community!

Haha me too! I think that it's rapidly converging on Austin though. Getting more expensive every year, more condos going up, etc.

On the mac BBEdit is incredible. A several hundred MB log file will bring Sublime Text to it's knees, and BBEdit has no problems at all. +1

AFAIK, Netflix actually wrote a React "Virtual DOM" => OpenGL renderer. You don't necessarily have to map the Virtual DOM to a real DOM. http://conf.reactjs.com/schedule.html#beyond-the-dom-how-net...

I wish someone would create a large Flux/Reflux demo app. I love the "one-way data flow" model and the patterns established by Flux/Reflux, but I feel like I would really benefit from seeing a large, complex application

I'm a huge fan of Objective-C - it's been around for ages (it actually predates Java) and it's design makes it enormously flexible. That said, it has it's problems: many people dislike the "brackets everywhere"

Hi HN—author of the post here! Feel free to check out the source to our Swift example on Github and explore the iOS SDK. Happy to answer questions - https://github.com/inboxapp/inbox-ios/tree/master/Inbox

Would it be possible to build a software-level mesh on top of these devices even though they don't officially support meshing? In other words, could someone build an iPhone app that implements some sort of decentralized DNS and routes

What lost me were the code examples for things like "name registration." Take this line for example: contract.storage[tx.data[0]] = tx.data[1] They could have at least used a named local variable for "tx.data[0]" to give

Nashville represent! I build mobile apps for a living and I love that the environment here is diverse and creative. Walk into a coffee shop and you see people talking, writing, and socializing - not bent over their identically sticker-cover

I totally agree with you about the spacing between methods. I've actually found myself putting a double-space between methods, but I do that in most languages so it hasn't bugged me as much. Thanks for posting the image!

I'm curious about this statement as well. It sounds like the author might be: - Creating big complex methods instead of breaking code into smaller (testable) ones? - Nesting callbacks multiple levels deep, instead of using something li

Haha I came here to say just that. Are all 42 of those words above the fold really important enough to be upper case? Literally this entire page is UPPERCASE COPY of different sizes. I'm imagining their designer looks like this: http:

Hey! I live in Nashville and there's plenty of work out here. With a week or two you could probably find a gig here and turn it into a business trip. Boom 30% discount come tax time! Hell - while you're in Chattanooga stop in at

Hah - what a joke. Stopped reading when I got to the second line: “[Javascript's] ability to render rich results from lightweight, simple-to-learn languages has made it a natural fit for mobile’s speed of development,” according to App

They're actually correct about the notification use case - the server has to generate the message text that is displayed, and no application code can be run unless the user taps the notification and launches your app.

I literally laughed out loud reading this line. Bravo dogecoin, bravo.

Ahh interesting. At first I'd read that to mean that they weren't taking data down, and existing customers would still be able to access their reports. I figured that only applied to people who had already had a report generated.

Hmm - thanks for the link! Good stuff. I think the complaint I have is that in their advertising ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTIY310FGBU&list=TLdNSueMINq... ), they feature: - An individual for whom 23andMe correctl

I agree - Here's a company that built a complex software system, loaded it with "if" statements pulled from research papers, and started marketing itself as a predictor of cancer and disease. How did they do their research? W

I don't think you'll get your results - at least not soon. The FDA said they needed to back up their claims that their assessment methodologies are accurate, and since they failed to respond to those requests they've been pro

Yep - was curious about how it connected to the internet and had to drill down through the dots (which at first I didn't realize were clickable) to find out. Would be good to point that out at the very top!

Overall this is a great article. It does a good job outlining what UITableView does and why it's built the way it is. If you're new to iOS and wondering why UITableView's delegate and dataSource protocols are structured the w

Hey! Author of the app here—sorry you've had trouble reaching me. I agree that Bonjour is a poor solution for corporate networks. I've always hoped that time would resolve those sort of issues (routers not supporting Bonjour'
