I wonder why aren't they using something like ARC in ObjC instead of GC ?

OMG yes !!! And do you know how to interpret what you read ? I never said this was for experienced programmers, only to newbies !

Also: - Please stop including math in every example. I just can't stand see another fibonacci example. Ok we get it, it's awesome for showing recursion, but use other things. Also, don't put math problem on exercises. I'm learning a languag

No true, I travel to the UK very often and I only show my ID, which works as a passport inside EU countries.
218.
by phatbyte 15y ago
It's already happening in some way, lots of people I know refuse to travel to US because of so many horror border stories. In Europe everything is so much simpler. If you are inside UE all you need to show is your ID card and your are set.

Never saw so much jealousy/flaming targeting one person here on HN. I got to say I'm a little disappointed as member of this community. I'm pretty sure Google didn't hired him just for his pretty eyes or the 'cool' factor. Specially when 99

I do, I just think Kevin Rose get's tired of things pretty fast

I feel bad for Kevin Rose, I used to lookup for him as a role model in the entrepreneurial and startup world a few years ago. However, I think the only good thing he did recently was the Foundation podcast, and even that seems to be dying.

How come Oink didn't got any traction, even with all the publicity they did everywhere when it was launched? When oik hit the app store I thought "god, If only I have 1% of kevin rose visibility to use it". I guess this ain't enough. I thin

You are trying to hard and you are doing it wrong. Instead of doing this why don't you contact your congress people or whatever you guys have in the US and try to change the immigration laws ? I'd rather cut my wrists than to spent my time

"Finally, I'll say that learning to create software changes you and makes you different. Not better or worse, just different. You may find that people treat you harshly because you can create software, maybe using words like "nerd". Maybe y

I wouldn't compare OS interfaces with websites. They are totally different things. An OS UI is mostly buttons and other widgets, window frames, and behavior. The actual applications are very different. Just to give you an example: Look Reed

I can't make up my mind about this. The developer in me loves bootstrap, it doesn't makes me think too much about UI. I can't just worry about coding and functionality. However, seeing all websites using the same layout it's pretty boring a

I use bootstrap mostly for prototyping and get it up and running. However, the way I see it, twitter bootstrap for instance is a very well done front-end framework, and puts a high bar for the front-end dev, which is always good.

To me, a perfect interview would be: "Here's a coding challenge, go home, write the code to solve this, come back tomorrow and tell me three things: - How you did it, - Why you pick this solution, - How it could be improved" by doing this I

I couldn't agree more. Everything is "hard" on the first couple of times, but the only recommendation I say to people is to stop worrying about the language, and go create stuff, get into that mindset of creating something, even if it's jus

You don't have to have a US bank account, it's not a requirement. It's always a plus to have one, specially if you want to use US payment gateways, but that's it.

I never really worked with Android so I can't speak for it. But I completely agree with you on the updated documentation, I just feel that sometimes I get a little lost when I trying to learn how to use a class or framework.

I don't think Objective-C is hard at all. If you understand OO or come from a OO language you can pick it up pretty fast, like in a day or two. Cocoa on the other hand requires much more learning curve. Also apple could improve their docume

Ok, I know you have your reasons but why the US ? Why don't you start your startup in your own country or in another European country ? Any good reason for not staying there ? As an european I sadly see everyone from this side of the world

Do you even know what proof of concept is ?

Thank you

Congrats on the app, it looks very cool. I learned a bit of objc and cocoa awhile ago, but I never understood how you can customize the app like this.

Agreed as well

Wow, I'm really impressed with Tornado. I'm learning node.js at the moment, but I've been working with Python/Django as well, so I will definitely consider this for my project. Any benchmarks between node.js and Tornado btw ?
