Perhaps I'm missing something, but in years of development using git as our scm, I have never used checkout -f. I've used reset --hard HEAD here and there. Is there any difference in their use? Also, are there a lot of developers who work

I have always assumed they don't put the time/engineering into the mobile apps because it is much harder to monetize. Where do you stick the ads so that they don't completely ruin the experience? Nowhere, that's where. Why provide an app

Just a note, not sure if this is intentional, but the audio on the video is in stereo, but with no right channel. edit: also, please stop the heavy breathing into the mic. Driving me crazy!! :)

This sounds like a good talk. The StyleOwner team will be joining you guys. Thanks for hosting this. As an aside, where is a good place to find out about these kind of events in the Bay Area? If there isn't one, I'd like to toss togethe

I don't think this is really a Silicon Valley problem so much as it's a society problem in general. We technophiles are just much more inclined to bitch about it on the internet.

I like it... I've been wanting a simple, no-bullshit task app that allowed subtasks. You may have just won me over. One thing, though... Make the drag/drop icon area larger... Multiple times I've gone to drag and just ended up selecting a

Just an idea I had, thought someone might find it interesting. I may clean it up and make it into a plugin if there's interest. Note I've only tested in Chrome (osx). edit: fixed bug http://jsfiddle.net/VtAAs/10/

Elaborate. Sounds to me like you're just being pretentious. Not that designers ever do that.

Bump is known for their ingenious methods of relating lots of data to figure out which two phones were being bumped at the same time (there's a really cool answer on Quora about how they do it). I would assume this is their tech team figur

I came here to make this point as well... Education _is_ gamified. While some seem to think that changing the scoring/reward system is the key to moving forward, I think the gamification itself is the problem with education (to a degree).

I've got the base model of the newest line of Mac Minis running Plex. It surprisingly pretty choppy and slow at times.

Nice... I'm considering switching over to XBMC for a week or two to see how I like it. I might write a blog post to compare the two soon. Moving this week though, so it might be a while.

Have you tried Plex? I've been a dedicated Plex user for a while now, but I've noticed quite a few bugs lately and development seems to have slowed on the desktop client as of late (though I recent blog post says they'll be getting back to

I too got my current job from a HN post. I posted about Bay Area salaries as I was flying out here for an interview. I included some of my background information and got a reply saying if I wasn't gonna be making X, they would love to mee

I agree that society's idea that marriage is the ultimately goal is complete BS and I hate that notion. In fact there was a discussion on reddit today about how society seems to think it ridiculous to even go out to dinner or to a movie by

For the same reason it's appropriate to bring up a recent child birth or something along those lines... It's a major life event and people like to congratulate them publicly for it. Had he said something like, "She just had a baby so congr

I have to agree with you here... Working in a startup is a hectic and crazy lifestyle which involves lots of mistakes, lots of learning, and lots of "hurry up and get x (feature, fix, etc) out the door", which results in mistakes being made
