I did something similar to this on android but opted for sqlite for metadata and file system for the image. The sqlite data is "master" and the file system is treated as "volatile" as it can be deleted by a user at any time. Here were my op

I completely agree. Alexis was dominated in this in a few ways. 1. The exec was a complete ass and Alexis didn't call him out for being rude and condescending of alternative interpretations. There was a lot of potential to completely bankru

I'll look for more on this, but if you had something you would recommend as a tutorial, I'd appreciate it.

Avoid internal getters and setters. This is a different issue vs. object to object getters and setters.

Even forgoing the other comments on the number of universes/galaxies/stars/planets in existence, how do you reach this hypothesis given that you have only one example of evolution to draw inferences from. The entire train of thought is dera

I disagree. My anecdotal evidence as a person who prefers to meditate on code is that many times the person who does quick iterations even beats people that understand the language. A deep understanding of the language, in fact, can sometim

That sounds accurate to me. I'm not sure if its simply that iOS forgoes isolation or they've implemented isolation in a mechanism that allows for the context to be shared without security consequence.

I agree, its far to early to make any decisions about which platform "made the right decisions". We're in the first inning still for mobile.

First, what poor design choices did they make? The entire post was attempting to debunk the perception that there was some simple decision that leads to the issues people describe. Second, I don't believe Dianne has a fundamental misunderst

If we are going to give an advantage I think it would go to Android if thats the only way you get feedback on iOS. Android pops up an Application Not Responsive message if your main thread violates responsiveness thresholds. This is a meta

If you spent months doing research, is there a way you could share your findings besides broad stroke sweeping statements? All these discussions get cluttered with people offering few details about their investigative process but offering

This is the difference between a database product that has been developed for more then 40 years and a developing software product that has been public for 2.5 years. If mongo has the longevity that Oracle has had with their db product, my

Ugh, no Google API support!? That is a pretty big deal.Wish I would have seen that earlier.

I'm not sure this will be welcomed on hacker news, but its almost laughable to me when people try to dismiss eclipse. Not just to the author, but some of the other comments here. Eclipse is probably one of the most sophisticated software de

I don't wish to be mistaken, my shot was more about making the logical opposite argument then making a solid description of what Amazon has done. I did read the article as critical of Amazon but I agree that the author didn't get more or le

by campnic 15y ago
Very rational. I agree that the Amazon model is not broken, its just different (I did not mean to suggest it was broken, though I can see that being implied from my statements). I also agree that it is OK for the developer to publicize (cri

Your entire response is conjecture. He readily admits he bought into the 20%, got and clarified the 0% offer, debated and went for it. He shows the 54k number as a way of reinforcing the bait-and-switch they are using to lure people into th

I'm assuming YC still holds an interest in Airbnb? Seems like I would be distancing myself from this instead of getting into the 'he said, she said' stuff. Neither side will provide proof, so why risk getting involved when you can't be cer

You know what AirBnB is right? Its entire business model hinges on people renting out their principal residence to someone they don't know. And you don't think this story will affect their business model? I'm just baffled.

I am relieved that this individual is alright. Just imagine if she had returned home early and decided to check in or something and found the individuals in the act. Who knows what the reaction would be. I'm happy it's (mostly) just things

The only blessing is that the person renting the property did not return early. If she had and had caught the renters in the act, who knows what would have happened.

I found this article fairly uninformative. His first point is 'all NoSQL is less mature'. Second point is 'there is no advantage to NoSQL except scale' Third point is 'you'll have time to scale later, which includes moving to NoSQL' None

I disagree. It is entirely possible to have a set of bits the can be 'decrypted' with different keys producing different results. One key might produce a set of cartoon pictures, another might produce financial records. The simple safe anal

I really don't understand this perspective. Google has lots of resources. Google has lots of projects. A particular team may not have more or less resources then Grooveshark. There is no 'fallacy of logic'. You build the broadest support yo

"Cheaper than cost of being down." This is very insightful. Many of us look at the cost of multi zone deployments and cringe, but its a mathematics exercise. (.05 * hours in a year)*(cost of being down per hour) = (expected cost of single

I've been mulling this a lot lately. I'm going to try to remember this when I get too deep into 'designing' a solution.
