That's actually awesome to know. I've lost an amazing name because of this - and wish I still had it.

You have 180 days after registering the name to use it - and then you can never register that name again under that developer account.

Github is the new iOS blog. Make good libraries, get them trending, and go from there. I've had some amazing traction on one of my iOS/OSX libraries: https://github.com/bennyguitar/Colours - it's been tr

Exactly. I think most of this comes from the confidence in making technical things work and lack of confidence in making the business/sales aspects work. Like all things, you get better the more you attempt them, and if you don't

Ahh, I was under the impression that just typing www.google.com would come back correctly vs. having to put the http(s):// in front. I figured that a .io link was somehow different than a .com as far as link checking goes. Maybe w

Then they can do the same thing. It's a non-argument, my favorite of the HN tropes.

Google isn't a store though. They are a distribution channel, who happened to build their own self-checkout lanes after several checkout lanes were already installed, then put caution tape up in front of the other ones. Google needs de

They had to though. You can't come in to an entrenched marketplace and play by the same rules as everyone else when you have 0 traction. They're trying to get any and all developers to start adding to the Windows Phone offerings.

There actually is a port of mine out there! A couple friends of mine (Matt York and Aaron Fleshner) ported my design over to Android. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mattyork.j...

Haha definitely not new - just commenting from an app I made to read/contribute to HN without going to their website. It apparently doesn't parse polls (good to know) well. All I saw was the question. Thanks for not down voting me

They have to be turned into <a> links somehow. I feel like the server recognizes links and creates the proper HTML tags when generating the page.

Depends on professor status. Adjunct professors, maybe. If it's not really full-time and they aren't researching anything, then why should they get paid a ton?

How many tech interviews are one session long anymore (especially for the good ones)? Like I said in my post above this one, I'm arguing for the point after candidate potential has been acknowledged. If you know a candidate can do his&

Surely they'll want iOS games and compatibility at launch right? They could take the whole market of iOS/VR from launch day if they plan it right. Am I taking crazy pills, or does that not seem like a HUGE opportunity?

The ability for people to gel doesn't guarantee any of the following: listening to the same music, drinking roughly the same beer, playing the same games, and liking the same technology stacks. What I am arguing for is the part after

Assuming two candidates are both qualified to perform a job, and one of them gels and converses with team (aka gets along with), then that person should get the job. The best teams get the best work done, and good teams have amazing communi

I feel like every time I see an Oculus post in these threads I get really excited for mobile work then see that you're still only hiring for Android. Any reason no iOS love?

Most people have hit on the big ones, but I think the most underrated answer is: Comments. Seriously, comment the hell out of that code where anybody coming in at any time can understand what's happening. Make it so that a technical di

You literally don't know shit about him or his situation. I honestly feel bad for you; there's no point in being hostile about somebody's character based on a short synopsis of somebody else's jail time.
