That was before VirnetX sued them for $708 million for patent violations, reduced to $368.2 by the judge. To avoid having to license the patents in question, Apple re-architected FaceTime so it's no longer peer-to-peer and instead rout

I don't know how to break this to you. You'll probably want to sit down before you read any further. Someone born when the Neo Geo came out is 25 years old today. They've probably graduated college. They might be married. The

I wouldn't say "most", but I once had to fight to get an exemption in a startup's proprietary information agreement. We were asked to sign this after most of us had been there six months, and I had to threaten to walk of

Yep. Welcome to administering systems for a web site. There's always a trade-off between convenience & security. If you make it hard for people to install plugins, they're not going to use your software (or your server). If yo

Installing GNU utilities on top of BSD utilities isn't bringing OSX "to the 21st Century". BSD's utils are different. Doesn't make them outdated or wrong.

Actually, you may be dinged for wearing a suit. I've seen comments, I think some even here on HN, where people have laughed at interviewees that wore suits and rejected applicants because of it. I'd say "you wouldn't wan

To add a little more color to this, you had to be able to quickly repaint just a region of a window. And you don't have a bitmap of the window's current contents because that takes up RAM and you'd need CPU time to update a c

I agree with i0nutzb. If you're a "co-founder, CTO, product owner", the buck stops with you x3. It sounds like they see you as none of the above.

The factors are shifted to the phone. The Clef app on your phone is protected by a PIN (separate from your lock screen code) or TouchID on iOS. Each instance of the app is registered with Clef so you can revoke an individual device.

And once you get past all that, the JavaScript that's so pervasive these days wont run in those ancient browser. My Mac Centris 610 has problems with all those tracking scripts everywhere.

I've seen some live performances with MSSIAH and it's even more impressive in person. The UI isn't just pretty. If you're used to working with a 303 or 909, it's just a low-resolution version of that interface. I wi

You're on the right track toward the end. It means they built their MVP in Python, and they've built more & more features on it in Python. Now they're looking for someone who will happily work on their existing codebase.

That's how I work these days as well. SourceTree for commits, especially if I just want to stage hunks instead of whole files. Command line for everything else.

Burger King has a burger with a Morningstar patty on the menu. It's pretty good. That & a side of onion rings used to be a monthly treat for me. Not sure how well it sells, but I'm sure McDonald's is aware of it & how

It was really similar in Chicago, except I don't think H1-B was a big thing here. We seemed to jump straight to outsourcing. Might have something to do with Chicago being a finance hub and financial companies needing to cut costs after
