Somewhat off topic... Your blog looks great, but that's a questionable choice of header font on the service page, especially when used as all caps :)

I was expecting this to be around $4-9.99. Which I will gladly pay for a quality music app. You can definitely charge at least a dollar (which is basically free).

Submitted this to see if it was already posted (to read the comments), surprised it wasn't submitted already.

I too programmed for a long time in AS3/Haxe, and while I prefer variable:type as I think it's more readable, most static languages (java, C#) do it the other way.

If I'm going to switch from DropBox it'll be to Space Monkey, and the only reason I've yet to is that I work on music with a friend in the UK and it's not available there yet.

Not a Telsa but my Chevy Volt lease payment after rebates etc. is less than my cable bill; plus I get carpool stickers which down here in SoCal are priceless. My first American car after many Japanese and one German, and it's the most

My wife and I have given our children all the vaccines we had as children and it was an enormous struggle to do so. Children now receive many more vaccines than we did, and many of them are delivered in combination; up to four or more at a

In my previous job this hit home quite hard, one day many of the people who helped us build the system that automated their jobs were laid off. Then once the system was fully streamlined we developers were laid off as well. In addition some

One thing I was surprised by, I like pair programming better when it's remote. You get the code right in front of you and you talk to the voice in your head (phones).

1. For us we're all in the same city, close enough to commute but don't - we just save 2hrs everyday :) 2. We do 9-6, 1hr lunch sometime between 11:30 and 1:30, releases after 6, which isn't too bad you're already home w

This article got one thing wrong; "eBay's fees can be kind of a rip off" should be "eBay's fees ARE a huge rip off". That combined with the removal of negative feedback for buyers is why you should try Amazon r

Off topic but this has bugged me for years, Apache has the worst looking and most confusing docs/support material around (thankfully CouchDB eschew the Apache template). If two projects are equal and one is Apache I always choose the o

For me #2 is a feature :) It does take a bit longer but you have more control of how things fit in the mix.

I have no problem with Pandora's payout they are radio without direct access to tunes. I have couple of tracks on Spotify, and although I wish they did pay me more, I don't think they're too far off either. Spotify pay me abo

My understanding of it isn't that life isn't literally suffering, but that anything can cause you suffering (or pleasure). Let's say you don't own a car, and take the bus to work. Then someone gives you a car, you are ha

If you can get past the icons, the UI itself appears to be much improved. Just looking at the compass app it's much clearer to glance at and get your information without the Master and Commander design of the old one getting in the way

The negative feedback on here is astounding, really the worst side of HN. I thought the promo was very funny and poignant, very inspiring. The brief is detailed and the rewards make sense giving the restrictions of producing and distributin

I thought the same thing when I saw this. Even if you haven't heard of Helios you've probably heard Keith's music on TV or online. The website for his film, tv, and ad work is http://www.unseen-music.com/

Not to rain on Backbone's parade, but I am easily twice as productive in angular.js. The learning curve is a bit steeper but once you mastered you end up with (IMO) a cleaner more maintainable app.
