Sweet - I had no idea. Thanks. It just seemed like that was a fairly common opinion being voiced that they were tired of getting woken up at 3 am haha.

It'd be awesome if there was an automation service for this. I'm sure tons of people would gladly pay to say "fuck waking up, it's already being handled."

Just do it. Seriously. What's the worst that could happen about pushing some open source code on GitHub? You don't have to start by contributing to openssl or something of similar magnitude. Just push some stuff to your personal o

That would be such an awesome site if practically everything wasn't on a Microsoft platform. I'd love to contribute towards some Objective-C but everything I see is .NET/F#

Tell me about it. I'm constantly using the autocomplete to look through all options to complete a method when it should be consistent with other similar things. For instance, you set OnClickListeners but you add TextChangeLis

It may not be socially acceptable to ask these questions but I wonder the same thing fairly frequently.

I have experience doing something similar in a project at work. In this project I have one reusable ViewController (among others, but this example is about this one) that had nothing but a UITableView and a search box (a UITextField for sea

Good luck fitting 7 on a tab bar. Sometimes, in the real world, clients want things a certain way and you are paid to make them that way. I would like less navigation options, but a big app has multiple things. That's just a fact of li

Sometimes you just have a shit-ton of navigation items, and it makes more sense to put them in the hamburger drawer, rather than drill-down into a tab bar further, which can take you out of your current context.

Sometimes you don't want to shrink your clothes and are looking for like 4% moisture left or something. There are tons of options left for more granular washing/drying of clothes that haven't been explored yet.

by bennyg 12y ago
Now if a ton more hardware manufacturers would start designing around automation - like a washing machine that automatically started drying your clothes next, and an app that could see how dry they are and ask if you want to keep going, etc

That's why GUIs and potentially always watching directories would be perfect for them.

It's already like this. The rich fly in private jets that take a fraction of the time that driving does.

I use Sublime Text for my writing for this purpose. I'm fairly good at not making spelling errors, and I usually correct them when I type them anyways, but it's nice to not have something look like it's on a printed page alre

My iOS app doesn't necessarily aggregate them into one area, but it highlights them in the main list. I believe that the Show HN posts are actually the best part of this community, so I wanted to visually distinguish and highlight thos

Yeah I know art and engineering are fairly intertwined - it was really all of the medical choices that showed up. I'm interested in psychology but not so much that half of the career choices shown should be that haha.

Scored as an "Artistic Thinker", but there are no artistic endeavors listed! Here's a quote from the synopsis of my test: "You might enjoy coming up with original music lyrics - or with new mathematical theories." H

Has anyone made a browser plugin for automatically appending that yet?

Almost everyone except for shitty recruiters take it in PDF. And that's because the recruiters want to fix things and add their own letter-head to it. Don't do that.

Whitespace should be your best friend. There's way too much info on that template. Undergraduate/Graduate coursework? That's not necessary at all. You listed that you received a Masters in Computer Eng. and a BS in Computer S

I used to think the same way, and when I bought an iMac about 3 years ago I just stuck to the Magic Mouse that came with it. I will never go back as long as I'm using a Mac now - it just became part of my workflow so seamlessly that us

That's so sketch and dangerous.

Exactly. A tap of the brakes at 70mph means a fraction of a second to match or best that at 10 feet distance. You're gonna' die if you try that.

I absolutely love using my Magic Mouse. Whenever I get on someone else's computer I'm trying to go back and forth on web pages and desktops with the mouse.

Is it on a stream-and-run method of executing tasks? Surely it looks for an end-of-line or end-of-command terminator like "\n"

The new XCTest in Objective-C is fairly nice as well.

I work as a software engineer at a mid-size ad agency in Birmingham, AL. Send me your resume (brgordon at ua.edu) and I'll see what I can do in the organization. I also graduated with an advertising degree, but started coding my senior

I think most of this stuff applies if you're in industry as well. Basically the gist is don't be a dick, keep improving, and here's how to tell if you should jump ship or if the company you work for is worth sailing with.
