Always like seeing what people are building for note taking. I've left Evernote for the system provided by the Synology guys. It works really well. Having something you control soup to nuts though would be best. I always worry about us

There's a gap there because the firms didn't want to pay the GenX generation after they got trained. They hopped on to the next company and progressed their careers. Take better care of your employees, pay them their market value,

Agreed. I got the cheaper model of my car when I custom ordered it to not have the NAV addon because I knew I'd use my phone and didn't want to pay $2500 USD extra for my car.

Providers of the cell phones want to charge you for your data usage over their network. They aren't going to pre-load the most commonly accessed data on the phones.

I think assuming it wasn't used as a bookmarking mechanism is being a bit shortsighted. Myself and many others in my circles used it as a bookmarking tool as well as to show support of something someone said.

So this guy works a ton of hours, after work hours. He works from home it appears. He is constantly double dipping his time multiple ways. How does this actually effect his family life? Some of this write up makes him come off incredibly se

I think he makes some great points in this article that are worth sharing with your kids if you are getting them involved in sports or really whatever they are passionate about.

Work-Life-Balance, such a great lesson many 20 somethings should make an effort to learn before they destroy the passion they have for whatever it is they are passionate about. I'd never tell someone to not work hard or to strive for t

Ah the old days when Sourceforge and Freshmeat were some of the go to places for OSS when I was learning Linux in the 90s. Occasionally I'll end up back at SF somehow and man how terrible it has become. Makes you really appreciate plac

The scaling zones of GW2 were not very popular for those of us that played in the beginning. Traditional MMOs allow your character to gain power. The power gain of your character is a large reason for many of the game systems to exist. To d

Actually, occasionally you do need to think about it. Reference the various times AWS emails customers about unplanned outages that need to occur because of hardware issues/patching/etc. Cloud is great, but there str still plenty

I feel that it can be argued that paying for a font library is a good idea. It is far cheaper than buying individual fonts, which can get expensive quickly. I feel that the Typekit library is ahead of the Google library. The Google library

Anywhere other than GoDaddy would be my suggestion. There are plenty of people that will suggest registrars that they like. My personal favorite is name.com, great support!

Continue to build out and improve the default image hosting platforms for one of the largest sites on the Internet (Reddit) as well as maintain it's status as one of the top 50 most visited sites on the Internet?

That was an interesting article to read. I have many fond memories of the very early days of Freshmeat and my introduction to OSS and Linux. Freshmeat helped people share their products and was a great place to find new and upcoming project

Can someone link to this story or copy/paste it somewhere? Linking to social media sites on Hacker News is bad news for people that work at companies during the day that block all social media but would still like to read the news here

There should be 3 classifications of apps. Free, Paid, IAP. I absolutely agree that IAP apps should not be able to be marketed as 'Free'. It's quite disingenuous to do so. It's like a store saying everyone can have a fre

Not really. Their last game (Infinite) was a flop (AAA game that only sold 4m units). Take Two control the money, and with those kinds of results (huge team of 300 something, that took six plus years to create Infinite) you can imagine they
