Local sync is of course the main need, and why we can't currently go the sharing route. Without sync, Skydrive is largely useless. For now, logging into the same account is ok. However, with Windows 8 tying into the live ID, it would be bet

Also flagged. Getting sick of the drama created by these anti-apple people. Maybe try to pick a more important cause?

I actually spoke to a SkyDrive team member about this one. The root problem is that once you have a truly shared folder, it takes up both people's quota (it has to, otherwise you could link a lot of free accounts to get extra space). The wa

I love Skydrive. It's the best of Dropbox combined with the best of Google Docs (even better, you get to use Office), and it all works so seamlessly I forget that I'm even using it. Maybe that's why nobody's talking about it, because it's n

Has nobody noticed there is no issue date? You can file any patent you want, but if it's actually issued, that's another problem.

Agreed, and it pains me. But, I have a toddler, and while he's good with devices, he sometimes does drop them. So, a case is a necessary thing for now.

I love my iPhone 5, and think it's the most solid piece of electronics I've ever owned. Almost hate to put the thing in a case. As good as it is, there's a point everyone is overlooking when talking about the 5... the earpods. I've tried ov

If it were truly a major failing, you'd see a press release. I haven't seen a single problem with it over the southeastern US. I'd expect the only people who know it's broken are those who have an issue nearby their house, or geeks who read

This is actually pretty thorough for a youtube video. In 15 minutes, he did better than most professors explaining how limits actually apply to calculus.

Where are you finding the original title? The original title of this HN submission was that, but as far as I can tell, the original blog title was "My Madison Ruby Story", as it stands now. What are you seeing that makes it look like she la

by drharris 14y ago
It's a story about Madison Ruby, which is a tech conference that requires travelling to Madison and involves talks about Ruby. I think this is the appropriate keyword density. Sometimes good content is just that, no SEO required. SEO is for

The only caveat is that a good large icon does not necessarily make a good small icon. Icon designers will do each size by hand to make it fit the format, getting rid of extraneous detail along the way. It would be difficult to model this a

I'd suspect they have several tools like this for code portability. It's relatively trivial to make a simple translator that compiles to Javascript; take CoffeeScript for example. I'd be surprised if there weren't all sorts of tools like th

This title is greatly misleading. The article (nor what it's talking about) has nothing to do with a "C# on Javascript" runtime, and that would be ludicrous. Anders is a language designer, so it makes a lot of sense he would use his knowled

Indeed. I was one of the detractors at first, but the splashes of color they gave to the icons appeased my original complaints. After working in it for several weeks, I'd say it's just as easy (if not more so) to get around in code. I find

Training, QA, lunch breaks, maximum daily working hours, overtime, etc. There are benefits and losses on both sides.

I know a bit on automation, work R&D in a factory. There's no doubt that it's cheaper in the long run, even with costs related to programming, testing, maintenance, and tweaking. But rushing untested robotics into production will almost

Simple; it's cheaper in the near-term. Keep production flowing while you figure out the automation side.

I tend to use the tens as well, but in this case I would have used the 12*12 + 24 trick. I also use some of the others listed here, so it makes me happy to know there are people like me out there.

If you save the random number, what happens when they wipe the device and reinstall your app? No way to get that original number back. Secure UDID is deterministic, so you'd get the same ID, and can resume the original session.

Why is this on the front page? It's not only horribly written, but not really full of any useful information if you want to look at actual politics. Don't disagree with the conclusion, but it does not belong here.

Looks really cool, but it keeps timing out on me. Been longing for this kind of information, so here's hoping it will work soon!

Not that I know of, but I would say that teaching "loops" and "functions" is almost definitely going to bog them down. Loops are not interesting on their own, but rather in terms of what you can do with them. So teaching them how to count (

Agreed. By definition, school has to cater to the average. It's meant to provide a baseline for society. There are no rules that education must be contained within the school grounds. The way I see it, they handle the boring stuff like geog

I partially agree, but would take it a step further -- your time actually has zero value in and of itself. Because we have companies (or clients) paying us a salary that takes up a portion of our time, we tend to think in those terms, but i

This is awesome. Love Mindscape controls, so getting it at a substantial discount is nice. Definitely a good way to get attention for an upcoming product.

But least popular does not at all mean "shittiest". Least popular means the fewest sales; if people were buying only because of the shirt they wanted, then you would indeed be getting the worst shirt. However, some people are buying based o

I really like this. I found myself with a gradually widening smile as I realized the ramifications of the whole concept. The brilliance from the commerce standpoint is that the freebie is by definition minimized by the number of shirts sold
