Really glad you guys helped to catch this so early. Kudos.

How about maybe we've reached a point where there are very few things you can't already do/achieve quite well in C#/.Net without having to dip into OSS land? I'm a C# dev and I keep close tabs on the plethora of too

"dried up budgets" is a phrase I never would have thought would be applicable to anything Apple Corp related.

Must be nice to live in the first world. I've always wondered if the realization of this electric car utopia in the first world will eventually lead to Lamborghinis and Porches being dumped on us poor people in the third world like han

You really have to wonder why any one would even want to consider getting into this business at this point. It's a blood bath and there is only one winner it seems.

I think it's being downvoted because a lot of geeks hate that they love Apple products. It's a bizarre situation that results in some odd things, such as Macs and iPads being prevalent at OSS user group meetings.

You don't have to use iOS. So such petitions are pretty pointless.

The "Apple is not dominant" retort is very correct but also very frustrating. Apple is dominant in the sense that they command an outsize portion of developer/consumer mindshare. So issues like this just get drowned out in

It's just a programming language, use it as you see fit.

No, I left because he had poor interpersonal skills. I'm a senior developer now in a position similar to his and I would never behave in the manner he did. I enjoy mentoring junior devs and I can't recall this ever being at odds w

Heh,when I was a junior dev we had a senior guy on our team who would stay after hours and refactor literally every line of code our team of four devs had written that day. What was even more infuriating than his condescending smugness abou

Wonder why Microsofts server business seems to still be going strong then.

I've always sort of hoped that Jazz was a genre of music that programmers would most easily relate to. Jazz artists are a bit like the hackers of musical theory. I mean, they are able to disassemble a tune and effectively piece it back

As this is hacker news, the "640K ought to be enough for anyone" should probably have made the list here at least.

Biggest, most influential tech company ob the planet. I'd say its pretty accurate.

Ehh? How so? It's possible for both his blog and podcast to make heaps of money, with the podcast simply making more.

The guy that runs asymco said something that got me thinking about this. He said, the Apple Watch is as much a "watch" as the iPhone is a "phone". I think the idea is that we are thinking about it all wrong. The "ph

I'm surprised (or perhaps I shouldn't be) that the one review to make it to HN so far is the one that is gushing the most about this watch. Yes it's the NY Times, but this is a tech gadget. I would have expected a NY Times re

I wonder, how far are we from completely pilotless flights? Perhaps the numbers don't yet justify proper investment in this area, but we have to be getting pretty close to at least thinking about it seriously now.

Doesn't wash. Trick question, why is it that they are not afraid about what the press will do with their snarky comments on say, Google, Microsoft, Samsung or Android?

I'm assuming this watch will sell well in China and nowhere else. As a result I wonder if there would be a positive way to spin that (if they ever break out sales by geography)

When you say "performance oriented" what do you mean anyway? But even humoring you here, I would argue that the very, very vast majority of contracts out there are not "performance oriented" and so the point may be moot.

I'm interested in knowing what trick you use to keep youtube on in the background for music. I listen to Jazz and this sounds like something I need to know how to do

Apple's playbook is seems very clear to me. Fashionable utility. They get this better than anyone. Cars would seem like such a logical next step in that regard.

Wonder if BYOD is a thing within the Chinese banking industry then, especially after seeing the explosive growth of Apple in that country

This is a great article. I knew I'd see a bunch of people stating that AWS is expensive and you should use a dedicated server or a VPS. But there are many applications built by people like me who are lone developers or small teams of d

I'd wager that kids are probably making smarter choices nowadays since information is more freely available with regards to what options are out there besides joining a gang.

I don't know, he just seems like one hell of a bigot in general. Science could probably just as easily prove that consuming human infant meat is very healthy, that wouldn't make the idea any less revolting when one applies common
