I actually enjoy AS, probably because I've been using JetBrains IDEs for a while so I'm used to it. Now, the fragmentation is a real issue. Another thing that gripes me is that if you do this a side-project (as I do) it quickly ge

Interesting. I had an idea for something related but wasn't sure how open people would be to uploading their picture to something like that. Care to share some stats?

Hey, I was feeling a lot of eye strain a few months ago while writing my dissertation. I went to an ophthalmologist, and he gave me a few tips that changed my life (no, serisouly): - DO NOT have the monitor at eye's level as some peopl

Sorry for taking so long, here it is: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9861042 By the way, it would be great if HN had some sort of notification for when you get replies.

IMHO, these frameworks still cannot match the UX of a native app. Just like a HN post one of these days about desktop apps still being relevant despite web apps, native mobile apps have their use cases and if you really care about great UX

Hey there! I'm also moving to the US in late-September (H1B too). However, I was in intern (J1) a couple years ago, so I do have a single advice that some people forget to take into account. As a new immigrant with no credit score, you

Like other people said, it is about refreshing the view for changes that didn't trigger an automatic refresh. If you dig the details, behind the scenes an API called ReadDirectoryChangesW is called, which uses a notification-like syste

I agree with the other answers that it is a function of how familiar I am with the language/framework. But I also like to see what other solutions people have come up with since I know there might always be an edge case I didn't t

Have you been to other conferences before? In case not, I can tell you that you are not required to talk to that much people if you don't feel like it. Just keep to yourself and you should be fine. It would however defeat the purpose o

Awesome! Are you willing to help someone from a classic engineering background transition to development and getting a more entry-level job? Or are your focus on already experienced developers working in the industry? Thanks!

Yes, they can sometimes use overlapping bands. However Bluetooth tries to minimize that by using FHSS [0]. I've witnessed it first-hand with my last ultrabok (lenovo yoga 13, 2013), which uses a cheap radio (WiFi + Bluetooth) that shar

Looks like a nice little Android project, and the app is running smoothly on my phone. Background loading and adblock are neat features. I was looking for something like that to contribute to, let's see if the dev is open to that. I ha

I'm used to just thinking about GMT. I know that the UK is around GMT 0, the US is negative, and Japan is positive, so those are my starting points for other locations. I believe it has helped me that I have lived in different time zon

I second this. Don't know how it works for iOS, but for Android it is straight-forward. And should be even more now with the new automatic backup for Android M [0]. You would have people keep their data as they update devices, no need

My interpretation is that deciding not to recline is a conscious, active move on your part.
141.
by gusmd 11y ago
Now if you don't recline, you force the person in front of you not to recline, and the person in front on him, and so on. It's just not a very mindful thing to do because you're actively forcing your preferences on everyone e

I'm not a tall person, but I also agree with you. It is very uncomfortable to go through a long flight on an upright seat. I can not believe people think they have the prerogative to stop other people from reclining. It is intended fun

A few days ago I read somewhere that you could use Psiphon to circumvent some mobile providers data cap. Supposedly, you would activate it and the data used would not be counted towards your monthly allowance. Did anyone hear of that? Is th

I'm not sure of your background, but it is actually a pretty simple concept. To satisfy static equilibrium on a given transverse "dx" segment of a cylinder, the walls must balance the internal pressure (in this case taken as

More important than pressure differences, is the circumferential stress on the fuselage/can, which is what the walls are actually withstanding. For a pressurized circular container, it is given by p*r/t, where p is the pressure, r

You are neglecting the fact that a soda can is pressurized once, depressurized when opened for consumption, and then wasted. An aircraft fuselage needs to withstand THOUSANDS of cycles of pressurization / depressurization during its se

Yes, I get it. Being a Mechanical Engineer and used to balancing energy in heat engines, I just (incorrectly) assumed that SOME kind of work was being done by the computer to perform its main function, which is obviously not the case (at le

If I understood it correctly, there is a server running inside that thing. So by definition, all the heat being generated is inefficiency. Therefore, if 1000 W are being disposed as heat to the environment, then the machine itself is consum
