I love what he said - "My goal was to monopolize the teen party business in New York City". The guy didn't want to just have a little hobby business, he wanted to completely dominate it. Brilliant

Would be great if he had expanded on the 'no career path' section - that will probably be something that most people want to know about - surely there must be different levels of developers to some extent? Moving from development to managem

Reporting Services is mostly used in corporate environments. It's included with SQL Server, which means to buy your product, you will have to have a significantly better product for people to consider purchasing it. Here are some other conc

Cool. Anyone know if something like this exists for .NET? Otherwise it might be good for my first open source contribution :)

Did it work? what feedback did you get?

Do an "Ask HN: What do you think of this coding project?"

:) Yup that is my standard zip code when I need it. What I find even more frustrating is that some US stores ask for your zip code when you make a purchase. (Is it ok to refuse?). Being English, I just state that I don't live in the US, but

He's only got himself to blame - he clicked 'Accept' on every single one of those 2000+ friends. If he didn't want that many, he shouldn't have added them.

Or you could not just worry about your karma score, or your average and just post when you think you've got something to say and say it. I don't get the obsession with karma and people getting annoyed when they get down voted. Be yourself a

Viggity - I see you've been writing your apps in WPF. Did you see the news about Evernote switching from WPF to native code. What are your thoughts on that and do you find WPF to be a pain?

Even worse, the narrative will now be 'Digg is losing its numbers and was caught out artificially inflating their advertisers articles on the site'

Surely there must be a product out there which allows you to have complete control over every aspect of the templates, the HTML and the CSS. Anyone got any suggestions?

WiFi only version already exists - it's called a PSP. I doubt Nintendo would do that due to their business model - which is to make profit on every hardware unit sold. If they added all those features and had to do deals with carriers etc,

I am sure he can and not denying that. I just wanted to outline that I don't believe web apps to be superior to desktop apps. In many cases they are not and I think this is one of those instances.

If you believe web apps to be superior to desktop apps then yes, you have a leg up. However, this is content creation - and if Adobe develop this product, they will have workflow integration with Fireworks, Photoshop, Illustrator etc which

Indeed. One of the things that makes me laugh as well is that 37signals themselves use Propane - which is an OS X app which gives campfire a more desktop-like experience. IRC is still great

I don't play golf, so I don't know if this is useful to a golfer, but I assume so =) It looks cool anyway. 1. tghgolfdesigns.com - not memorable. 2. Pocket Pro - does not tell me anything about the app (yes, I get Golf Pro buts it not insta

Did I mention anything about either of those? Firstly, entire companies have been created specifically for ruby / rails hosting. Secondly, and this is my biggest bug bear, I know nothing about Python on a Mac and OS X. I am a Windows fan th

Thanks for this, this framework looks real interesting!

by smiler 16y ago
I have to say, I code in .NET during the day and have been considering ruby / python for my own projects because the hosting costs are a lot less. I used to do a lot of PHP and I keep thinking I should just stick with that. Although it feel

Yes. I have a Nokia E51, it's just a standard T9 phone with wifi / 3g, as I don't need anything fancy. I've loaded HN on it and can skim the articles for anything interesting when I'm out and about. True I wouldn't write a comment, but it w
