English/Spanish here. My wife is Cuban and did not speak much English when I meet her so it was a Huge motivating factor. ;) Italian and Portuguese will be next for me as once you know Spanish you automatically know big chunks of other Lati

First thing I thought was GeoCities 2.0 ! I remember seeing effects like this all over the web back in the day. Ahh the memories.

I like your design better, much cleaner. I was not a fan of the exec redesign you did however this one is a big Improvement. Good job.

Site does not render well on the iPad and a really poor choice of fonts for the title were what lost me. Never criticize condem or complain, people in glass houses, well.. I'm not trying to be overly negative I'm just pointing out a few thi

That's the issue, the sender should be doing the heavy lifting (serving the file or at least delegating it) what I propose it more of a seamless imbed/download link on files over a certain size. This could be implemented in email apps using

It's 2012 we have a 100mb up/down connection and yet I still can't attach a file over 10MB and not have it bounce back. I can't believe that any self respecting hacker does not see room for improvement in that situation. I should not have t

Applications in general, I think they have a ton to wade through. It's got to be a mind bending task to go through thousands of applications. On a personal note, Every time my iPhone gets an email my wife asks "is it from ycombinator?" ;)

I'm sold, it's a mix of Path/Pair and I like the design of the app. However the problem is that I would need to convince my friends to use the App as well. I hope this takes off, I really do the Everyme team did a great job and I wish them

Retina graphics are already marked @2x. They could have implemented split bundles however Apple has never been one to maintain complete backwards compatibility. And I do agree Garage Band is obese, same as the OSX version which I had to uni

They are directly targeting the market that Point Inside is in. I'm curious why they did not just purchase them rather than building something that will need to gain traction?

I'm in the readability camp, I'm one to comment my code even if it's something simple and I also like to use verbose variable names. I always keep in the back of my mind that if someone had to pick up my code without knowing how anything wa

The only jobs that caught my eye were the ones that offered some type of challenge to apply (Apply Via API, Etc.) If I'm going to end up talking to someone from Human Resources that's going to ask me the "Man Hole Cover" or "Lightbulb Quest

This is great guys, glad to see you're going to grow HS and bring in more guys/gals. I myself applied as it is very close to my core values I know there is value in alternative forms of education (in my case Home School > College) whi

A good programmer is like a doctor or a lawyer they can't be made overnight. What you're going to get is a bunch of developers that have a very limited skill set (I.E I can program ruby/rails and nothing else) and you will have to hire a

If you're interesting in learning more about this read the book "The Goal" it's presented as a novel and the main character is rather daft, however it has a lot of insight in it if you can look past that fact they everything is explained as

Interestingly I have encountered ALL of the bugs from that article. However I don't mind Xcode that much, when I start to get frustrated with it I remember that It could be worse, it's not like Androids tools are much better, last time I us

I watched that onstage office hours session on Youtube and the same thing struck me "They need to be more clear and more specific" My startup is based in an industry that I have been working in for six years so specifics are not the issue,

This is full of win. $100 for charity and an hour of advice from some really great people. I'm on board, now I just need to figure out who I'm going to talk to. Edit: signed up to talk with Tikhon Bernstam.

Some context: The connection was for an appliance provided by a trusted vendor that only needed access from specific outside IP addresses and would not need to be exposed to any internal systems, it could be locked down. There was no way a

Right on target, it's amazing what can get done in when people know what's expected of them. Within a year of finishing college and getting my first job I was promoted from rookie designer to manager. Within two I was Art Director running a

I got a laugh from the FizzBuzz team part. Actually from what I know of Corporate IT I think it might actually take a team "several months" to implement. I was once told by corporate IT guys that it would take "Three Months" to move one of

Hmm true, I always considered Flash/Actionscript to be dead simple (Drag image to the view => click on it and add code to make it do stuff) However maybe it's because I grew up loading 5.5inch floppys in a computer without a hard drive

How many users will you turn away? Do you think it will be a significant portion of your potential users? To be clear, don't you think it's worth having .05% of your total possible user base turned away so that you can understand what the o

Great advice. Launch early does not mean throw crap at a wall at hope it sticks. You do still need to make something that represents at least some of the function of your initial vision. Really you should make simple version and have a soft

Yes, if it's your hobby. If you need to get something done (time = money) but have to stop to fix something in your free operating system then it is no longer "free" (as in money) I'm not talking about the openness of the system in relation

I would recommend not trying to teach for loops etc... Show them how to tie a function to an image to make it move across the screen as a building block to make a game and they will find it interesting. Maybe start with flash/actionscript s
