I am making an app with Vue and Firestore and am excited by the potential of PWAs. Really, the only thing that frustrates me at this point is that Apple doesn’t support local notifications. If they did, I really wouldn’t have to consider ma

The one thing I don't understand about Venmo is that it, based on my (limited) use, seems to show transactions amongst users in a "social networking" manner. I believe you are able to make your activity private, but why would

I am replying to this because it is a question I have as well. Stripe employees - I know the Atlas page discusses the reasoning behind a C corp a bit, but I think it would be beneficial to elaborate on why it is preferable over an LLC. It’s

OP, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you are Taichi Kato? If not, I'm assuming he, Arya, and Khush will read this discussion. The three of you should be very proud of yourselves. This is a really cool, novel idea! The fact

(Assuming this is a true story) this is very unsettling and makes me anxious, not only for the Chinese people but also for companies that do business there. "I’m really curious why you don’t want to use Guizhou-Cloud Big Data’s servic

I have been following Elie and his team's work for a while now, and enjoyed this read, but I am curious as to why it was posted on his personal website as opposed to Google's Research Blog ( https://research.googleblog.c

If you read the article you will see that the mention of Microsoft Azure has disappeared from Apple's security documentation.

I wish this was higher up in the discussion. This is a very interesting point, not only when considering the Puffin browser, but considering this entire company. Their whole business model is to improve traditionally-local software by havin

Apple Health already had the ability to view medical record documents, using the CDA standard. I think this is a huge step in the right direction for the Health app. Here's a question for HN people: what do you use to manage your medic

I opened this link expecting someone to complain about the difficulty, verbosity, or other issues commonly mentioned by those learning Rust. I was pleasantly surprised! I learned Rust by implementing an interpreter for one of my graduate cl

Thank you for the well wishes! I am in the process of validating this idea and getting other suggestions and feedback from healthcare providers.

My primary goal is to reach out to as many people in these industries as possible. I am not actively looking for a Co-founder really, I just meant that option was on the table if someone on here was a particularly good fit. Thank you for yo

I just checked my installation of Firefox and this addon was present as well. The developers involved (Greg Lind et al) should acknowledge this and apologize.

It appears to be an introductory computer and network security course for undergraduates. With that in mind, it seems like they did a good enough job, though I agree that the jokes are distracting. I was only curious as to why this was subm

I think it is important to note that this is a final paper for a course at MIT. I would not hold it to the same quality standards as novel, peer-reviewed research.

I noticed, when viewing the demos on my phone, that there were some issues relating to responsiveness. Specifically, the axes labels were overlapping. Is responsiveness a priority with this library? Other than that, great work. I look forwa

> days to weeks to months where I’m derelict as a software engineer. Months ? I don’t know anything about your situation, but how could you expect an employer to think that this is worth their resources?

While I'm sure Woz would make a fantastic teacher, I don't think experience teaching kids elementary math would really give anyone insight into teaching CS/data science topics.

I agree with the last point 100%. It seems that this Coder Camps company has experience running different programs in full stack development and data science, so I imagine they know what they're doing.

Honestly this seems very "meh." Like others have said, I am getting the vibe that Steve (or some other company) is using the name to attract attention to a very unremarkable product. > Woz U will offer an app to help people und

Can anyone provide a TLDR on what exactly the conclusion of this article is? My experience with a low-carb diet is quite similar to that of @whalesalad, and it remains much more effective than any other diet or a strict exercise regimen.

This is a pretty cool tool but I would recommend using a more eye-friendly color scheme on the website. How was your experience in working with the new Firestore DB?

I feel like this is a non-issue. If there is a demand for CMH-SEA flights then surely an airline will cater to it.
