   I would argue that producing the first 5k display that will be purchased by the 'masses' is the real innovation here.

    Unfortunately it's hard for me to find a phone that fits my taste. I want a tiny phone with the best battery life and camera available. I don't care much about anything else.

    This isn't a test of the materials though, it's a test of the phones as a whole. When I sit on my iPhablet it's going to have more leverage working against it than an iPhone 5.

    Perhaps not the most glamorous phrasing, but I think what you just described is the essence (and power) of gamification.

    I live in the us. My current monthly expenses are about $1300. (Young, no kids, rent, own a car). I have ~18 mo worth of savings and and 1 very simple app on the App Store so far. I'm thinking I could quit my current job (java dev, str

    I would guess that A/B testing against HN users would provide different results than the general population.

    This might be because only the more senior devs are given the opportunity to work remotely full time.

    Command shift [ ] works with almost everything that has tabs including safari, chrome, terminal, Xcode and sublime. (those are the ones I use it with).

    A quick google search of 'homebrew' tells me: 'Homebrew — The missing package manager for OS X' Ah, now it makes sense.

    I think when talking about confidence or success these categories of knowledge don't account for the whole picture. Knowledge isn't the only thing required to be successful at something, it doesn't account for skills. When I

    Maybe it was added after your comment but I see one on the bottom right of the screen after starting one of the guided meditations or the timer.

    It's not just you. I think it is to prevent accidentally toggling it when going for tab.

    I don't think 4k is a good option for you, since anything much smaller than 35" will display text too small to use the native resolution. You'll have to scale up, stuff will look sharper but you won't have more real esta

    This is what I have done since high school, but only because I never gave myself enough time to review the chapter before having to rush through the homework. Sometimes I wondered if I would have done better having given myself more time to
