From the article: "Most software is not sold in boxes, available on the Internet, or downloaded from the App Store. " all you need to do is make awesome apps. Oh, is that all? </sarcasm> The fact is that it's hard to make a

This reminds me of "Launch an App Month" last November ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1773398 ). Here's the Facebook group that was formed for those who are interested: https://www.facebook.com/groups/launchinnov/

I'd also recommend Programming Collective Intelligence ( http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596529321.do ) which is filled with lots of python code showing how different algorithms and techniques can be used.

Good article, but I like the original article's title better than "I didn't even know how to submit to HN! That's how n00b I was."

I'm astonished that this has gotten 4 upvotes, and I can only assume that it's from people who didn't bother to read the article. This article is poorly written and filled with pseudo-science/numerology and has no place on HN. Flagged.

Any reason you didn't include iPad sales? There are also Android tablets, so unless none of your sales are for Honeycomb users it might not be a fair comparison. I'd also be interested in seeing how it changes when you take into account ad

I'd also be interested in reading that post. I'm looking to host my own hackathon in Lowell, MA and I'd appreciate any advice I can get about it.

Some quick feedback about the landing page: * There's a problem with the header. It's distracting right now. Here's what it looks like when I scroll the page in Chrome 12 beta: http://awesomescreenshot.com/05ddvrz35 * The footer seems com

It took a lot of loading new posts, but I finally got a snippet of C++. Right now it does seem like there are a lot of images. Maybe one way they could improve the process is by having different pools of posts for developers, designers, and

Hopefully this will help with their backlog. One problem I have with the way the invite system works now is there's very little feedback once you request an invitation. I requested one a few months ago and I haven't heard anything about it

I started a similar group this semester at UMass Lowell called Maker Club. However, instead of just coding we work on hacks and crafts of all kinds. In the month since our first meeting we've done a variety of things like making catapults/t

I realized just what they were doing: wasting time more efficiently! That sums up how I feel about a lot, not all, but a lot of technology that I use. Now instead of only being able to waste time on a couple things, I can waste time

I love this idea. Does it only support Rails apps, or does it also support LAMP as well? I tested it with https://github.com/ginatrapani/thinkup because I'd be very impressed if it could set ThinkUp up with no user interaction, but like m

Self control also makes more modifications to your computer than just modifying /etc/hosts, which in turn makes it a lot harder for me to disable than just commenting out the lines in the hosts file, which I could rationalize myself into do

I also recommend using a program like Self Control[1] to blacklist distracting websites for really bad cases where you're not consciously opening a distracting website because it has become muscle memory. In addition to using Self Control,

Friendly HN tip: You don't need to use @ (and it's considered good form not to) when replying to someone. We can see who you're replying to from the nested comments.

I have a weird, hybrid way of typing. I don't have to look at the keys to know where to type, but I don't fully use all ten of my fingers. I type without using my pinky fingers, except to use them to press the shift keys.
