We have the same thing in Javascript, we call it 'hacks.js'. That's the place you go when things are broken and you're not yet ready to pay down tech debt. Hacks.css sounds nicer than shame.

I appreciate this because it's a bit of a challenge to a narrative. I think in startup landia, we see the same thing. Everyone knows company x is next to ipo, everyone knows company y doesn't have a shot. And while sometimes those public pr

We have a product for TV stations that helps them take social media (instagram, fb, twitter text and images) and show it as a part of their broadcasts. One of the most difficult parts is getting the custom design from the station into our s

Just curious: What keeps you there? I mean this as your reasoning, not a general "why people stay where they're born" question. What pops in your head when you think of moving?

Oh they do. But now that's by the typically less sophisticated investors, in my experience anyway.

We've taken a similar approach to building Vidpresso, and it's worked out really well. We literally found one customer who'd pay up front for a year of our service, then they suffered through the woes of an early product. Then, we found our

I think a lot of people use two spaces in diff communities. I prefer two, but I'm not sure if it's because I'm in these communities or what.

I think the most annoying thing is they still don't answer Rap Genius's questions about being owed money for paying megabucks for newrelic. I mean If you offer a service that provides incorrect data for two years and you don't offer any sor

Hm, I wonder why they didn't check out instructure. https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms It's open source, and there's a paid arm of it for universities to outsource their IT needs.

Holy cow! I had never thought of this before. Thank you so much for sharing!

(Thanks for this! And thanks for staying around HN after comments have gotten crazy. Gems like this help a lot.)

Good luck demo day startups!! I used to be behind the scenes, and it was always a nerve wracking time for me, so I figure if I times my nerves by 1000, that's what it would be like for the startups. :)

>> "Does anyone benefit from this?" Yes, users. Presumably, in Apple's view, the filesystem is a poor metaphor for users. Users think of their files as "in iTunes" or the like. Removing the filesystem separates concerns by requiring

What is CDM?

by randall 14y ago
Yeah sure. I guess what I really meant was I don't know how to even start to debug the ram to understand where the addresses are, and what each part does.

Not knowing enough about RAM makes me feel like I haven't done enough work in my life in CS. I want to know how this works! It's so cool!

Closing the lightbox doesn't stop YouTube, fyi. Also, can you handle scrolls?

Sure. Could you provide more context to your question?

Precisely. It's much more convenient to use Netflix than The Pirate Bay. If Netflix doesn't have content I, as a proverbial user, like to watch, I take the time to inconvenience myself to download it there. DRM provides lowest-common-denomi

by randall 14y ago
I think DRM makes sense sadly because otherwise it'd be as simple as 'right click, save as' and you'd have the contents of a movie. There'd be little incentive to subscribe to Netflix past a month. Rdio too. Simple anti-copying provisions t
