Yeah my old music teacher has to have a Mac because he has to run Digital Performer, if you write tv and movie music for a living you have to be on a Mac with Digital Performer, its industry stadard. For developers it still makes more sense

Even if its a fake post, its brings up some useful points. What you see in places where money and what you have are everything is a loss of community. For me, when I've talked stupid about hurting myself when I was having a bad time I

Geocities was my first job out of school, at that time it took a small army of apache module c coders. Its awesome you're bringing back the concept, when Yahoo bought us out and then killed it they took out a huge part of the history o

Back in the 90s Solaris ruled the world and you could be fired for bringing a Linux system into the building, everyone assumed open source was insecure in the 90s. It was immature so it was scary for the suits back then. Things have changed

What you're getting in LA is tent cities of young people who can't live at home with their parents. You have an entire generaton of working young people who can't afford rent. Its producing a mean society, anarchy is more the

How much do you want to spend to get started? It only costs a simple one time $25 developer fee for android, for ios its $100/year. If you are just getting your feet wet going android is much cheaper, then if you make money on android

Yeah I had 1,000 shares of yahoo in 99, then you had IPOs but the price crashed so rapidly I lost my shirt before I was able to exercise and the shares never recoverd it took me 8 years of hard work to pay off the huge tax bill.

That's true but you will reach a breaking point, like what happened in 1992 in the la riots, but this time the working class will spontaneously loot and burn the entire country. The LA Riots hit so fast and hard and spontaneously ther

Yeah I'm just getting back into fiction after sticking with only non-fiction for 18 years. The first step to writing quality fiction is to read the best stories available. Right now I'm studying Pynchon's Gravity's Rainb

Yeah I feel your pain I'm in the same problem, in an early stage startup making 80% under market rate, barely making my rent and living off ramen, absolutely can't afford ACA.

It will be interesting to see how people build for ios post mac, right now xcode is the only way to build for ios. Or will the mac be an expensive tool for ios developers?

Apple made a mistake choking off iOS safari they're screwing up like MS did in 1999, they're I'm the same position now as MS was when Jobs came back. They're turning iOS into a second rate system by refusing to implement

Yeah the worst is when they want all the work done onsite and expect extreme hours at the open office space total recipe for disaster

If you want to see an amazing demo of what can be done with Dart, look at soundtrap.com, a full DAW running on webaudio/webmidi built with Dart.

Its stupid to begin with, if you can't fill a skill, train somebody, the federal government does this for gigs that require security clearance. You never need to go outside the country for talent. The h1b program enables age discrimina
