I don't think you really need to worry about Path being acquihired. Given the people involved, and the fact that they already turned down a reported 100 million acquihire offer from Google, I don't really expect Path to go that route. For

I actually find it much harder to read as a result of it's verbosity. For example, just yesterday I ran into a bug with these 2 lines: if ([[data objectForKey:@"released"] isKindOfClass:[NSNull class]]) { if ([[data objectForKey:

When you talk to them you realize that on Stack Overflow, answering questions is about learning I want to reiterate this point, for a while I would make it a point to check the latest questions on Stack Overflow for various languages I wa

Yes, without a doubt. Look at how few people use their lists feature. It was months before I even realized it existed, and I check in constantly. People have a very clear picture of what Foursquare is and what it provides, and that makes

It doesn't matter that Foursquare added photos later, people have been seeing boring foursquare links on Twitter / Facebook for years now. I don't even notice the [pic] tag because I've been trained to mentally filter out those links becau

You really have to back that up with something substantial. I can't see how any logical person would make the connection that android market gift cards being available would suddenly cause people to start buying android tablets. The andro

I was really surprised that G+ was mentioned as a good implementation of photos. Having an onclick event on a bare thumbnail image open the detail view in a lightbox is a horrible abomination of web design. I generally always want to open

People on HN are most likely more tolerant/forgiving of this as long as the hacking is good. Really? Have you read this thread? Any time there's anything remotely immature or misogynistic posted, the comments tend to focus way more on t

Yeah, you can't use this site without https on Comcast anymore. I've had the https site bookmarked for months now because http is banned randomly at least half the time.

90% of my open source contributions come from running into a bug in an open source project that I'm currently using for something, and just fixing that and sending it back upstream. 10% is writing tools to solve problems I have that aren't

You can use Airbrake for free ( https://airbrakeapp.com/account/new/Free ), and it takes about 3 minutes to setup and you don't have to think about it. Sure, you don't get automatic deploy notifications built into Capistrano, but I've cert

You're right, they wouldn't. GitHub would never hire the PM you're referring to, because that's the type of PM that makes engineers hate their jobs and become demotivated.

Maybe they were busy creating a great product instead of obsessing about perfect architecture and optimising prematurely? I think you'll be hard pressed to find anyone who believes that ensuring all of the servers are running the same cod

Don't worry, the emails are ridiculous anyways: http://imageshar.es/4ed7bbc343641e6c1e000dc1 Why even include a link in the email if it brings me to a page that just lets me know I can't do anything from there?

Widely read publications aren't known for their intelligent discourse. HN preventing this sort of thing would be doing it's user's a disservice, since the value of this whole debacle was the discussion that ensued, not the piece itself.

No, I can assure you that's not the case, unless Comcast decided to do it. It appears to be fine now, but for this week we were getting 0 byte responses from port 80, but everything working fine over HTTPS.

Our work got blocked as well this week, it seems. I can still browse HN via https though. I don't know if that's intentional or not. :) Have you tried loading: https://news.ycombinator.com/ ?

Yes, I don't doubt that the iOS5 login bug was not intentional, however every other issue I mentioned has been there since I switched back to an iPhone from Droid when the Verizon iPhone was released. That's nearly a year of a completely m

No, I switched to one of the paid apps (GV Mobile+) because it actually worked. EDIT: I don't really know why I'm being downvoted for this. Wouldn't you switch apps too if you relied on google voice for your text messages and you couldn't

Have you used the Google Voice app for the iPhone? It's literally the worst app I've ever seen in my life. Crashed constantly, won't refresh from the server, will close your text box randomly while typing a message (clearing your message)

How old is that why not link? If they're interviewing 70-80 groups, doesn't that mean that nearly everyone who interviews gets in? I mean, last group was over 60, wasn't it?

All of his blog posts start with a line from a rap song. It makes a lot more sense in the context of his blog ( http://bhorowitz.com/2010/04/28/why-we-prefer-founding-ceos/ , for example) than it does on Techcrunch, but I assume he just di
