I learned programming with Turbo Pascal. I remember appreciating how it used a "Smart Linker" could produce really small executables because it stripped out any unreferenced code. I can't remember now how small the Hello World .exe files we

I wouldn't say I was a hater, but I was definitely wary. However I kept hearing about smart people who accepts him and works with him, so I started thinking there's probably something there.

I see this as consistent with the Apple that shows a iPod Nano Mickey clock face that shows actual time on their website. http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/

It trickles down, particularly when it comes to someone as influential as Steve Jobs. You may not have used any of his products directly, but as shown by this snapshot, he has influenced an entire generation of great number of people, going

It would help if the site mentioned this. It reminds me of an old analysis of the Mozilla website where, upon launching, it showed a full screenview that preached the gospel of Open Source Software to the visitor instead of providing the u

I use it while driving to call people without having to dial with my fingers. Unfortunately once the call is placed I still have to use my fingers to set it to speakerphone.

This is what I like about coding. I enjoy trying to solve those small puzzles that make up a full application. The problem sometimes is that the application gets so big and the solutions take too long that it becomes a grind. I find that

I barely used it before, logging in once every two or three months. But with the new Lists feature, I can log in and view just the posts of family members I'm not in constant contact with. I plan to log on more often now to keep up with the

In some Asian cities, it doesn't have to be a high end shopping mall. People with newer cars get approached by mall employees after they're parked, and are offered car wash service. You pay right there, and the car is clean by the time you

To some degree, I feel the same way. I look at what people had created and in between the thoughts of "this is cool", "this is boring", and "why didn't anyone think of this before?", there's a sense of inspiration that someone has created s

I'm surprised Google Desktop is shutting down. A lot of my coworkers use this and rely on this quite heavily. I used it a lot myself. There certainly is a need to index and search the vast amount of data that's now in our ever growing HDs.

It's a development tool. I didn't dive into LESS because I didn't want to deal with the compilation step during development. Finding out that it can be compiled by JS solves that problem.

First, you have to learn the rules. Then you have to master the rules. You have to really know what they're for, how they make things better. Then, finally, you can start breaking the rules.

To me, it seems closer to "be mindful" or "be deliberate". You can keep practicing with those better than you, but if you don't know what you're doing wrong, or how to fix it, you won't get better. You have to know what you're doing wrong,

This is partially why it can be frustrating to work with someone who isn't as good as you are. Things that come easily to you doesn't for others. You sometimes have to remind yourself that things that you consider obvious is only obvious

To me, this sounds very close to the Idea vs Execution we are all so familiar with here at HN. People who know can't really claim that it's because Apple came first - Windows had tablet devices before. People also can't claim it'd because A

No, they want the low hanging fruit. All their generic patents will be used against you, not each other. They won't care that you're already paying other companies as long as they get paid again. And if you even think about claiming that it
