Agreed with kevinpet, I'd like to hear from people who built large, public APIs. In my experience of doing this in the wild, it usually goes like so: you develop a set of API calls, a client that talks to that API and release the clien

Small tip for the ones working on their own and/or freelancers. Join a co-working space/community! I did a few months ago and the difference is very noticeable. If you're in a large-ish metro area, chances are there are some

It's actually very easy to have a booming social life and travel tons without Facebook.

Great write-up! Could merge some useful thoughts from here too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6991974 I'd certainly contribute to this if it was on Github :)

Indeed. I have trouble imagining many people turning down whatever his offer would be at the final four though.

Buffett won't have to pay a billion dollars. As he mentions in one of the articles linked, at the end: "If you get to the Final Four with a perfect bracket, I may buy you out of your position," Buffett said. "I'll

I'm not talking about a peer-reviewed report here - I'd appreciate just a link to a shitty youtube video, an audio clip of an interview, raw chat log, etc. - anything else than the claim itself. This slideshow isn't data, it&

+1 to this too. Not mentioning this very clearly somewhere at the top automatically leads me to believe (perhaps wrongly) that you haven't addressed this problem.

No social media accounts: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. I think that's at least half the battle. Good advice from YuriNiyazov too. "If I'm having a day where I am not getting much done, I stop trying.". I think it&#

A bit disappointed by this. As mentioned by ceejayoz, don't upload your .pem file anywhere! AWS has tons of weird/interesting quirks - I thought this article was going to be about those. Here's my 5 tips for AWS... - SQS: enc

I may be an average HN reader, but I only vaguely know what Tinder is, and how it works. Don't rely on my own half-baked idea of what another app is to make me understand your own - straight up tell me first. Good luck!

This is really useful. I've been coding python projects for a few years now and was never quite sure how/when to use them. You'd run into assert when unit testing, but not that much elsewhere. This makes it clearer, I like t

True, they weren't very fast on this one. But they're usually good at quickly pushing out new services/features/apis and integrating new products from acquired companies.

Not sure. I don't think they over dramatized it and even if they did, it might be required if they want to make sure the message gets through to a larger audience than the tech community. As you said, this is a very serious event and w

Seriously, you created an account just to flame someone else? What if I told you that documenting your progress actually motivates some to keep going, to do more ? Why is your generation so obsessed with "complaining" instead of
