Why is this so bad? Samsung know that developers are the key to apps and so they go to help promote them by getting questions asked on Stack Overflow. They didn't specify exactly what the questions should be, they didn't say that

Patrick you've put yourself in a relatively unusual position of being both a full-stack software developer / marketer and actually knowing the market. It's struck me that part of the reason people don't try to solve thes

I've been really disappointed by how little development has been put into Airbrake. It's hardly changed or improved in the all the years I've been using it. I'll look forward to checking out Rollbar.

You're certainly correct in that neither Facebook or Google were acquired and it's not the cash from smaller acquisitions which make the real jobs and the real revenues. However it was the fast sale of Paypal which put enough mone

It's actually just a case of Techcrunch allowing more characters than HN. Unfortunately the full (and I agree very good one) didn't fit in.

Those businesses are awesome and I think more people should build them. The point I wanted to make in the article is that most startups are a high-risk experiment. A side effect of that is that most of them will fail and you need a lot of l

I love it that you've produced this and I think the simplicity of it is wonderful but I fear the story could leave someone a bit confused. It's confusing first of all because you've chosen a product which people don't ge

Is the image from glass projected into your eye or onto a screen? If it's projected directly into your eye then wouldn't it possible to set the focal distance to be roughly the same as where you're already looking? NB given I have never eve

I've seen first-place stories from HN drive up to 5 visits per second. I know that Reddit goes higher but I've never had any traffic from there.

Interesting example. I kind of wonder why you would hate her. She may be a irritating but she hasn't killed anyone, stolen anything or brought down any banks. However, if you value intelligence, meritocratic success and substance over style

I really don't throw in video like it's nothing. What I intended to highlight was that for 99% of users, the perception of what they get should be unlimited even if there are fair-use policies. I don't expect that a $5/user/month model is g

Or, for another perspective: 1. Pick the best (free) iOS management tool for the job at the time 2. Invest eight years of curation and 70Gb of photos in it 3. Use the setup with more than one device and the same way that 20M+ other users us

It's always seemed crazy to me that just because electric cars are non-polluting, people forget that dangling on the other end of that charging cable is probably a coal-fired power station. I've never seen figures on this before but it's ni

Aside from just what a solid company Optimizely is, I think that if you read Dan's blogpost you get a hint at the ultimate direction they may be going. "We firmly believe that 10 years from now people will look back at today and be shocked
