I have an XPS 13 Ivy Bridge generation running Ubuntu and power management is perfectly fine. My WiFi does seem rather poor in terms of signal strength/stability compared to other devices I own, however.

That quote definitely doesn't make sense. Maybe he's thinking of Windows ME, widely regarded as being worse than 98? It's an odd thing to mix up for anyone familiar with the two.

That may be true for you, but I assure you that is not generally the case.

Gradle is pretty tightly integrated with the IDE now, and in general I find myself rarely having to troubleshoot build problems with Android studio. Adding new dependencies is as simple as adding a single line to the build.gradle file, it&

Glad to see this reach final. Have been using it since the first alpha release at I/O 13 and it's been getting better and better.

This is awesome, as someone going through the interview process this will be my go-to for reviewing. Also, thanks for coming to HackSC! Your talk was great and I think it really inspired a lot of people who were new to the hackathon scene.

For the most part, this is true, but they don't have it working quite right on Android. Opening the app from the launcher doesn't clear active notifications as it would if you launch the app by clicking on the notification. I&#x

Did you have to turn this on in the Google Apps control panel? I'm unable to get it to work (Google Apps free edition, grandfathered).

Will.i.am is an interesting guy. This looks much more refined than the weird iPhone camera accessories he launched a year or two ago. I still believe that smartwatch ecosystems outside of Android Wear and Apple's Watch are unlikely to

I thought all of the original Android TV devices got updated to the second major version of the platform based on Android 4.2.

Wow, congrats on the round! Looks like an amazing service. Will be trying it soon for a project I'm working on, Android speech APIs aren't quite cutting it. Can this be run continuously from a Service on Android? Didn't see a

I prefer it a lot more. Maybe it's just my circle of friends, but we laugh at how stupid Venmo's Facebook spam is and generally prefer how easy Square Cash is to use. Since the money ends up right back on your debit card, it&#x2

I get the feeling that what Square is doing now is just a glimpse of their greater plan. They have a proven ability to execute and release polished products that are enjoyable to use. Nearly everyone I every need to pay is on Square Cash (

Small thing - the Pinterest story involved the Palo Alto Apple Store, not the public library, if I recall correctly. Good notes. A few typos.

Vanguard. Website works well enough. Rarely find a need to use the Android app - I use Mint primarily to keep an eye on my accounts, and Google Now for timely updates of certain stocks/funds.

PennApps, LAHacks, HackTech, HackSC...all had expos. You're right in that demos for everyone just aren't feasible. But I think you understate the challenges and downsides associated with expos. The hackathon explosion is just ge

by chambo622 12y ago
I've been to a dozen large hackathons and they essentially all operate in this manner. I've been trying to come up with another way - the expo style has many shortcomings including those you listed. It's very hard to stand

QCast brings shared party playlists to your Chromecast. When you host a party, everyone can add songs to the shared queue, and downvote those they don't like - if a majority is reached, the song is automatically skipped. The host maint

Android has had Miracast support (with display mirroring) for a while now...just nobody used it. Chromecast is/has the potential to be a much more widely used and supported protocol.

Awesome to have this, will definitely set this up on my desktop. Kind of crazy that this got released and we still don't have a Google Drive client for Linux.

Well, a year ago the GDK wasn't even out yet so I'm not sure I'd say that. But since XE16 Glass has taken a step backwards both in daily usability, and from a dev perspective (no more static cards from GDK apps? Touchpad no

Great post. I may check this out, although I usually need more flexibility than just playing radio. It is pretty sad to me that in 2014, my Sandy Bridge Core i7 machine with 16GB RAM occasionally stutters while playing Google Music in Chro

I follow Twitter and Facebook accounts that usually link to a story posted on HN as well as the link to the discussion page on news.ycombinator.com. Ideally I want to be able to open that directly in the app. The HN site is unfortunately n
