The slavish devotion to Ruby sounds like cargo-cult. I use Objective-C when targeting iOS, I use Java when targeting Android. I use C when targeting the the kernel, and I use C++ when using OpenCV. I use assembly when writing code that can

Not sure I get it. How do you sync with the physical notebook, shown in the main image? Also, you may want to get this on Evernote Trunk.

Parking is $8 - $10 a day in SOMA (where most tech startups are), and $200 - $300 a month[1]. Parking is considerably more on days the SF Giants have a home game during work hours. 1. http://sanfrancisco.bestparking.com/index.php

This thing you're calling MOVE, how is it different from Qt's MVC + signals and slots [1]? You've discovered a new (for you) way of applying MVC and you've gone ahead and given it a new name. Nothing in your blog post is new, except the n

Wow, I think you're over-analyzing this. First, there's a lot of misogyny in rap music, I agree, but it's too easy, and wrong, to dismiss all of it as misogynistic, ultra-masculine braggadocio. There are just too many sub-genres for a sim

I simply meant non-Flash ads. But if you're in it for the long haul, then you're right in giving it much more thought than I have done here.

I'm not playing any Wikipedia games with you, I'm merely stating the facts as they are. Yes, there are probably over a hundred other languages still spoken today, but the official and most widely spoken language is English. Almost all (if

I really like your service and have used it a few times. I doubt the UX will be affected that much if you were to include a few passive ads. So I would say, go for it, make some money, you deserve to.

Here's an idea. Consider accepting GitHub issues. If it's a private repo, I can add Codacy as a collaborator. Then I'll create an issue, maybe write a few specs to define my acceptance criteria, and pass it over to you.

The Gates Foundation has arguably had more impact on human welfare than any other private organization in history, and yet is still in its early stages. So when you say you know nothing of this work, it suggests a lack of awareness of, and

You can't name a single thing the Gates Foundation has done because you're uninformed and, unfortunately, don't seem to see anything wrong with that.

Yes, it is. What do you think a "conservative estimate" means? Here are two definitions for you: "moderate, cautious, low"[1]; "at the lower end of a range of possible numbers"[2]. 1. http://www.answers.com/topic/conservative 2. http:/

My initial thoughts were that Meteor would be more widely deployed in production than Firebase would. But it also seemed like Firebase had a more obvious path to profitability than Meteor. Given the current VC market and the rapidly evolvi

This may be somewhat controversial to say on HN, but writing software isn't as hard as this post makes it out to be. Yes, there are disciplines in computer science that require a lot of effort, dedication and smarts to master, but the actu

They have to actively protect their trademark. I would say it was shortsighted of Pair Networks to have chosen such a generic term in the first place. But having done so, they have no option but to legally and aggressively protect it or t

Where are they going to recover that profitability from? They won't. They'll eventually need to adapt to the reality of their business, which is to move data from one point to another. They'll get to decide how to monetize their dumb pi

You're missing something here. I understand Objective-C, I can write Objective-C code. But it doesn't come as naturally to me as Ruby does, there are certain nuances that I stil don't understand intuitively. Ruby is the complete opposite

I'm purely speculating, but I think they are appealing to the wider audience because of the 'cool' factor. They've been successful because of the way Apple positions the device. It's just a cool toy made by a company with a cult following.

The lead up to the war was very much "you're either with us or against us". It took a lot of courage to speak against the war. Even the media had to get in line - I think all news networks hired military consultants at the time. Over time

Hi Mike, do you have any experience building 3G or 4G enabled CDMA/GSM devices? Ideally this would be an FCC certified module that would be dead easy to interface with. I have no antenna design skills to speak of so that's a concern too.
