honestly, pretty let down by the event. apple touchbar is ... i cant' even. it's like trying to force features that were on my phone on to the laptop. and this thing is supposed to be geared toward professionals. 1) what if i&#x2

lol the answer, like a lot of things in life... is simple, but not easy. how to build muscle: - nutrition. eat enough protein and calories. i don't think people have to overthink this. if you're getting fat and don't like

i think it was more like convenience. there was another article where schiller talks about having to remove the jack so that they could get the components to fit or something, specifically the haptic engine and also maintain water resistan

lol what? i'm not sure where you get that sentiment but apple has always been about good engineering. sure they've had their design flaws and mistakes, but more often than not they are pushing the boundaries of what can be done(mi

yeah okay... i feel like the author is way too simplistic in her thinking. "coding is over" is akin to house building is over. we know to build every part of a house so why re-invent the wheel? why not have some magical machine

the average life of a nightclub is not very long, perhaps a few years and that's IF you're popular. as such, there's huge pressure to just create a lot of buzz and ride that wave until inevitably you become old hat. those pe

You know, as a technical co-founder I honestly hope I never encounter your "type" as things progress through stages of a company. Have you talked to him about it at all and gotten his point of view? You have to understand that wh

you did nothing wrong. any company that goes into the hiring process knows that their candidates declining an offer is a possibility and as long as you were courteous they should be mature enough to respect your decision and chalk it up to

this is wonderful! would there be a way to save the output? would be interesting to see how others interpret a piece. really also wishing that we could track keyboard velocity as well:p

I think it's a great start. One thing I would recommend is supplementing the pushups with pullups or some type of exercise that would help balance out the push movement.

Lurker here. Why is there so much pessimism in this thread... ? I'm not familiar with all the font libraries out there. I use Font Awesome right now, and quite frankly it's nice for being free, but has limitations in other regard

Totally agree, when you see the screenshots all you see is white. I understand moving away from skeuomorphism but it doesn't feel distinctive anymore.

I think it looks pretty cool, but I feel like outside of maybe some of the webcam games and at home applications they demo'd ...it might suffer from the "social awkwardness" (I don't know a better word) that comes w/ new stuff like this. Si

a lot of people in the wired comments are posting about how it's fake... huh?

That's true. Even knowing how to code doesn't mean the output will be nice to look at. I guess what I meant was that providing granular controls that mimic what a developer would do tend to bog down the average user. For instance, let's s

My issue with having these kind of robust drag and drop html editors isn't so much with the tech as it is the audience it is appealing to. As a developer, unless this thing outputs compliant XHTML/CSS, it's much less useful to me outside o

But I feel like it isn't 1/500. Maybe on the order of like 1/5000... Think about how many companies apply to just one program like YC at any given SEASON. And this is just one program. When you factor in the other ones like TS, AP, 500

Honestly, being a desingineer sucks at times. The advantages of the "desingineer" is that you cut out a lot of red tape and inefficiencies in the early stages. You can implement things much much faster if you know both front/back and how t

Why are all the downvotes on comments relating to the website cost? I thought it was pretty high as well when I read that, I mean sure you pay much more for peace of mind, but that's like a 100% markup. And the red on black text wasn't a

Such a tragedy... Forgive my ignorance, maybe some pilots can shed some light on this. In the article it mentions that even though the plane was flying in "alternate" mode, my understanding is that it still has limits to what inputs can be

I feel like you can only get away with a less than subpar "MVP" if you're: 1)entering new territory and people forgive the mistakes until you fix them. 2) you are a small operation and people will forgive the mistakes until you fix them. Go

I'm sure it's not a trivial task, but I think the experience would be much better by treating Siri like a real person. The thing that bothers me about the whole thing is just how awkward it still is in real life. Honestly, how many of you

I read an article back in the day that stated people who fidget when they sit burn significantly more calories. Forgot where I read it, though. Maybe I'm just making excuses for myself...haha.

I'm surprised they didn't keep at it... Jumo had been live for what, like less than a year? They were entering the same space as care, change, and idealist. Those sites took YEARS to develop their community base. Not saying things need a
