This is what I would guess at first sight too, but reality disagrees: it seems lot of people around HN are very religious of their frameworks... I think the term "hacker" has two definitions around here and in the web-development world. * T

My personal views: Libraries are like strangers. The application and the library have a very strict interface. They stand arms length away. If something is malfunctioning in a library, you don't touch it, you either make the fix in applicat

One should learn both. If you spend the time to learn C, might as well spend a tiny bit more and learn the C++ concepts as well. There are ton of pure C libraries, but a lot of algorithmic stuff in C++ STL/Boost kinds, knowing both C and C+

There are indeed so many things to learn, but as a developer or someone who would be in the development world (be it building tech startups, developing software, etc) there is a must-know set of tools. C/C++ happens to be very high on the l

Svn would be perfect for you Our personal setup: linode with svn, redmine as issue tracker, wiki, and discussions). I went with our own server because I know for sure our data is private, and fine grain control.

Full time since January. Still in dev phase and a while before going live. and it's not a pretty sight to see your savings declining steadily (we are bootstrapped on top of this). Yup, I am all in as much as I can go. note: There is a poll

It's not pointless to discuss. These are lessons to be learned when new systems are to be designed. These are things that were not meant for mainstream usage when they were design. They just caught on. Now it's too adopted to do anything ab

No dice for me as well. Also tldr; A video showing what it does instead of pages and pages of text would be much more helpful. side note: A speech-to-text interface for your engine would be quite badass if it really does understand regula

This is my question as well. Your website seems to be very web-centric business (according to your user page), what is it that you cannot accomplish regarding this remotely?

KSplice seems to be a interesting concept, but seems like the product/service is quite an unfit for the domain they are operating in (Linux Kernel updates). The KSplice software is open source under GNU, so why not a community behind KSplic
