Yeah I confirmed mine was retrieved, fortunately I use a distinct password for services like LinkedIn so there will be no fall out from it for me. I just changed my password and moved on.

Yeah I am on the 17" MBP, the generation before the current one. I have 8GB of ram in it, and in the last year I have started to feel that it needs a little more. The virtuals I run are what is killing it. I am going to refresh with this up

Almost no committed code that is commented out I don't 100% agree with this one, at a company I worked at they had a policy of commenting out code, adding a date it was commented out and a reason why. After 90 days aging it would be remov

Right this is usually how it works, and if said consultancy saves the day then the existing management at the company assumes that that consultancy walks on water and keeps shelling out money for the perception that problems will not arise.

No that is the standard for companies, it is not the rules, you can negotiate any terms that you are comfortable with. Me personally, I am not comfortable taking reduced compensation for a year before I earn the replacement of that forgone

Right, anytime I take reduced compensation my cliff becomes very short. If it does not then it is not the deal for me. Any other arrangement leaves you in a position to hold the bag. Now there are a multitude of way that that vesting can be

Right, and if you are going to take a significant pay cut over market, make sure that equity vests every month. You are being compensated in equity in these arrangements. Make sure the equity is not a future promise for sacrifices today.

History is full of hackers that built a product and changed the world. It is less full of business people who taught themselves to hack and changed the world.

In most the big orgs I have been with, price was not the deciding factor, but rather a host of other considerations. That being said if two product where identical in feature's and ease of use, you can guarantee that a significant cheaper p

Right, there is no shortage for those willing to pay a premium. Money is not the total equation but there are plenty of great developers that given the right price will jump ship. If one where to put an ad out for a senior developer with a

Quite a few organizations hire on a contract basis for a period of time to ensure that it is going to work out for both parties. It's fairly standard practice to avoid committing to the unknown on both sides.

I would argue that with developers, the cost of a false negative is higher. It is just that most companies don't understand the loss walking out the door. Interviews are fraught with 1001 ways to get a negative from a top 10 developer. The

yes it would be the same as a native app, you would release a free app and then a pro app with the ad code removed.

1. Amazon S3 would be a good way to host them, or you can write them directly to a directory on your web server either will do, Amazon will probably be faster and more resilient than your webserver. Dollar for dollar, you just can't scale a

IIRC in another screen shot is did display speed, I would imagine that their is a toggle switch on the wheel to switch between gauges. But yes RPM's are far more important when you are pushing an engine.

Also the author leaves out the golden rule of UX and that is user demographics. Who is using it and what attracts them. What if the majority of your customers though jet fighter cockpits where cool, what if it made them feel cooler to have

My problem with your position is that what you are proposing does not require a 4 year degree. I think a 6 month to one year vocational program would be of more advantage to a student than a 4 year degree in what amounts to a vocational edu

Right I agree, defaulting to you don't know what you are doing and when you do, you will know how to shut this off is a good thing. A key part of Apple's success has to do with something Microsoft knew and did well back in the day, and that

If your idea is good, it can make the difference, if it is bad people will see it for what it is celebrities using their position to get a pay day. I would personally only consider it after the market and your idea has some validation and a

It's pretty prevalent 1 in 10 people (at the top end) that you interact with has dyslexia of some form. Among people in the arts it is much much higher, I am making an assumption here, but I would assume it is significantly higher on HN giv

Yes that is probably appropriate, and I think it comes from my world view, I never see a big problem, I see a bunch of small unknown problems, therefore everything to me is a small issue, nothing to freak out about. I quickly figure out wha

A small nit-pick, but I wish authors would stop using the term charged in conjunction with civil trials. Apple has not been charged with anything, they have been sued in civil court. The RIAA/MPAA has done enough to try to blur the line bet

It depends on the technology of course but pretty much as fast as most of them move, most projects are going to involve new technology and a rapid learning curve to work with it. That being said, I think I am cut from a different cloth than

From the grandparent post: but when I see the spelling mistakes . I don't disagree with the conclusion that the original poster did not present a compelling argument, even if it where spelled correctly, but spelling has very little to do

I know it is not your intent and I have tried my best to not take offense to your comment but their are a lot of issues that can affects ones ability to communicate in a particular medium. In this particular one (written) dyslexia can be al

I apologize if it appears that I implied that it was, that was not my intent. My intent was to highlight that their are bad CS and IT programs out there, and that may be what is coloring the perspective of the original poster.

You seem to equate their requiring a degree with a person being able to perform the task. Just because they require a degree as a filter it does not mean that it is a constant that a person must hold degree X to perform task Y. This is not

I don't believe the poster is wrong per say, I believe that their perspective may be colored by their experience. There are a lot of schools out their teaching their CS and IT degrees like an expensive vocational school. Sure the top school

The problem is that the article misses is that there is an opportunity cost of specializing, specialize in the wrong thing and your career is over. Try finding a Cold Fusion job now that it has seen it's glory days, sure they are still arou

Agreed I am a freelancer and I am always on the road, in a good deal of my working situations I don't have the luxury of hooking my laptop up to a second monitor. If Apple killed the MBP 17 it would suck of me. I understand that my use case
