You are right. Google has completely fractured message on Android. You have to install 10 different messengers to be able to talk to different factions of people. Also since they want to push Google Hangouts' online feature their messa

Looks like you are under threat to use ad-supported apps. Guess what you can't exercise a choice and then blame people. It takes a lot of efforts to become and Android developer and create content in general. You should respect that.

Being a Linux user and Evernote's strong desire to not even support Evernote for Chrome on Linux has been one of the main points against use Evernote. I have wanted a true Evernote competitor for so long. SpringPad going down was a bad

Anyone who has a Gmail or Facebook account automatically has one. I really like Google+ sign-in on Android.

Education is an active pursuit. You can't learn until you know what problems one is looking to solve. Colleges have made education a passive process. You go to classes. You do your homework and you take exams. It doesn't work like

This has been a consistent topic on HN. I wonder if folks who suffer from anxiety have tried meditation as a cure. I highly recommend some stuff from www.osho.com .

I haven't made up my mind if tracking is altogether bad. I certainly enjoy Google showing me relevant ads in a non-malware-appearance. Privacy is good in theory but out of convenience I keep using services that compromise my private in

Yep, it is super expensive. I wonder why didn't they go route of free personal access and paid organization plans.

The biggest worry for me is to stay distraction free and focused for 6-8 hours. Anyone claiming to be working 10-12 hours are just killing time.

KDE is an enormously big project. There is only one theme Oxygen that is feature full. It is a humongous task to make every element of it beautiful and it won't happen without your help.

Good to hear that as a KDE user.

More than anything I would like to use open protocol for chatting. Personal communication is a mess. I currently have Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, Skype, Viber and Whatsapp on my phone. General folks use whatever is popular and XMPP is not

Anything is nice as a concept. In real world you have to make compromises. When the ball goes to proprietary-chip-maker's court you don't get to play with your rules.

It would be interesting to see if some folks are going to switch from KDE to LXQt.

“Vote brigading," as mass downvoting is called, is a pernicious way to undermine a subreddit, as Reddit’s algorithm effectively counts 1 downvote as much as 10 upvotes. Downvoting can be a dangerous weapon if o

If someone were looking into freelancer/indie-developer/consulting work in India, where do you think one might find such culture in India. Where do these folks hang out online?

How is work-from-home scenario in India? Are there Indian companies that make you do interesting work and allow you to work from home? Or do you work for western companies? Or is it more like freelancing? If yes, how is freelancing working

Thanks for the info.

That's a slick RSS reader. I have previously used The Old Reader for its simplicity. I am currently using Feedly as it has good Android support and are doing good job with Evernote integration. Thanks for suggesting the RSS reader and

As someone who has recently learned programming and is unaware of history of programming languages, all this PHP hate leaves me whimsical.

You are right. Device integration is tricky as hardware manufacturers don't play well with standards. And those hardware manufacturers that are ahead of curve are out of reach of general consumers. There are several apps in the market

What would you like to see in a weight logging Android application?

I hear not all libraries are supported. developer.android.com and almost all tutorials/courses recommend using JDK 6.
