I swear; This paragraph from the article reads like something out of "The Onion" "Ben Huh, chief executive of the Cheezburger Network, a collection of humor and entertainment sites, said Microsoft’s market share was too small to warrant in-

I've done a lot of front end development work but I always wonder about how responsive design will work out. It's not that I think responsive design is no good, it's just that high end web design firms are obsessive about having everything

The author's experience sure sounds frustrating, but they sound like problems with App Engine's administration rather than the actual platform or SDK's. Here is the relevant part "I head over to the AppEngine billing page and enable billing

I like this concept of 'launch debt'. It's true. Moreover, some people seem to optimize their early process for fastest time to social gratification, and not fastest time to user adoption. What I mean is, if you rush too much and release so

I must admit, I rarely read comments the length of your original one (in a rush / short attention span; like you said). Once I started reading the first few lines, however, I found myself unable to stop and I ended up reading the whole thin

Wow. I have to say: if you opened the page and then left immediately due to all the spammy looking stuff up the top, GO BACK. This was a pretty good read. It's basically about startups from the point of view of an artist but every point tra

Sure, great products are crafted by imagination and passion, but the decision to create the product at all is usually based on analysis. Making some of that analysis automated isn't really such a bad thing, is it?

It used to be ForPlay but now it's PlayN. The basic idea is you write Java and it can output Java desktop, HTML5, Android, Flash, but I heard the flash export was broken?

I think the root cause of this is that engineers are constantly working on things that are broken or not working properly yet. By definition of our jobs: it wasn't broken, we would stop working on it. Consequently I think engineers naturall

What's the big deal? Hit F5 before clicking "More" or open the "More" link when you start your session, and keep it open in the background until you need it.

I studied EE, not Comp. Sci, but I drifted into pure software. Now software is all I do, but I feel like I'm "missing" things from my knowledge. Can anyone recommend me any good resources (books, online articles) that would help fill these

In my opinion, it's a little too late. JavaScript is it. If you consider how Chrome runs some JavaScript as machine instructions then it isn't that far off from the situation you describe.

Not just Australia, but NZ too. The US has been angling at free trade agreements with NZ and Australia for a while now. They all contain 'interesting' copyright provisions. The sad thing is that too few people here care or know enough about

I liked the article. Here's my humble summary of the main 2 points 1. Don't always make decisions in 0 minutes (instantly). Instead, think about them for 1 minute. The time difference is small but the results may not be. 2. Don't always def

These jobs ads are probably written by co/founders who are still in 'pitch mode'. They've internalized introducing their company in terms of line charts and hyperbole. Give them a break :)

If it was Apple, the buttons would be done with images, and have nice corners with aliasing. None of this horrible CSS business ;)

I never noticed, but the change sounds useful. Although, with the community around here, I'm surprised nobody has made a browser extension to manage HN tabs ;) (For bonus points, the extension would have to integrate HN search and comment s
