For the record, and for those asking for this to be a real game, FitRPG for iOS is planning to deliver on some of that very notion. It's a super cool app; and I say that with absolutely no affiliation (srs). Google it.

That's an interesting thought. I think the missing piece is really the Apple TV playing games, and for whatever reason (maybe storage?), they just can't or don't want to make it happen.

Couldn't agree more. Not launching the game controller or talking up some big new release, like Oceanhorn, whilst teasing the Apple TV gaming could have really put a dent in the somewhat-weak line-ups of gaming systems that are going b

While I use 1Password myself, a few companies I've worked for now have been using Passpack ( https://www.passpack.com/en/home/ ) which provides a neat way to "share" passwords securely in the event th

I truly look forward to the burst of this flash-in-the-pan game startup IPO bubble, albeit with slight sorrow for the truly hard-working game devs who are feeding the producers and business staff with their undervalued efforts.

I was referring to the fact that there aren't as many (or even a handful of significantly noteworthy) incubators in the GTA / Canada at large.

While this is great in theory, it's likely not going to lead to anything other than one marquee Toronto Star story about the foreign entrepreneur who found success in Canada. Canadian VCs are far too risk averse and conservative; that&

As a technical writer who has a long history of digging into the code alongside the engineers, let me just say this: good architecture and design docs for software can save a ton of time writing doc as the development ensues and completes.

Neat to see how much more traffic HN has been getting over the years and yet how the average age seems to be creeping up. Oldmanysiteis?

In my experience, this really and truly depends on the amount of technical debt your organization is willing to take on. I believe the key to cutting corners is to fully and openly acknowledge that you are doing so, and to justify the reaso

At this stage in your career, don't quit a job until you can line another job up. That said, if you can line another up that progresses your career, don't hesitate to quit. As the old saying goes, you have to look out for #1 (you)

A fair assessment of the basic OAuth 2.0 impl, but I'm left wondering how to as-simply state the value add for developers to implement an OAuth 2 workflow instead of just relying on SSL. Is the additional overhead to development worth

I really hate the source article's headline; it completely subverts the article's most important point and renders the whole article one that will likely be glossed over by readers who wouldn't otherwise know what Desert Bus

This is a sobering read as I prepare to move down to the Valley for work after years of talking about, and to a lesser extent dreaming about, it. One would hope that the experience for those of us who haven't had our stint there yet wo
