My first real, non-toy app was an Android card game. I knew the basics of Java going into it, but nothing else. Following tutorials got me to where I had an app that I could install and run on my device. At that point, it was up to me to fi

I had the option to quit to work on learning to code for 3-6 months and I chose to bite the bullet and stay employed. I woke up at 4am to get in a few hours of coding before work and kept my working hours to a minimum so I could have a few

I've had the same quandary as you. Mainly work with Java and Javascript at work, so I wanted to add a purely functional language. I flirted with Haskell, Scala, Node, Scheme and Clojure and eventually settled on focusing on gaining a b

What did you think was a mistake about the mobile shared plan? I just switched to that for my single device and I was enjoying the money saved. Am I missing a "gotcha"?

This story reminded me of the chapter in Business Adventures by John Brooks about the Ford Edsel. The Edsel was one of the last large cars before economy cars became popular. The timing of the Aztek seemed similarly unfortunate. It was the

I knew exactly what you meant when you said "walk back". I've never been able to describe that effect, but you've nailed it on the head. It took some practice to develop after I discovered on accident, but it is very eff

There's a big "are you going to watch?" pane underneath the main header with Yes, Maybe or No options. That seems to do the trick to add it to my calendar.

Apologies, I was wrong - that's what I get for posting without checking what I'd seen before. You are right, only one Flash instance shows up for multiple sources playing audio/video.

No offense was meant, no defense is necessary. Putting your code out there for HN to critique is indeed an admirable action. Your humility is even more admirable. Your links on primality testing are particularly relevant to me as I just fin
