So, is this equivalent of Realm Mobile Platform[1]? I found realm to be convenient to use in mobile apps. Haven't tried the mobile platform yet. Anyone here can give a quick comparison of RMP and DeepstreamHub? [1]: https://

Interesting to see if this will co-exist with xamarin or will target different type of apps.

Although I never found virtual desktops to be useful for me, I can't imagine learning new skills without a multi-monitor setup. I keep the tutorial (video, blog, ebook) on 1 monitor open and I have the IDE, text editor, browser, emulat

Most Amazon.in orders are delivered by them in Bangalore for me (for Amazon fulfilled orders). Even for my friends. Both Amazon and Flipkart have a strong delivery network in big cities.

I was just listening to a podcast interview with the creator of sqlite [1] and how they manage funding despite the product being in the public domain with a completely unrestricted license. SQLite is used everywhere, therefore they probably

This is nice. I always wondered why something like this isn't available. I built a nested tab-bar menu system for an e-commerce app recently which can be generated from a json file.

I always thought PowerPoint was going to evolve into a hybrid video-presentation platform. Something which would include narration, more fluid and complex transitions / animations along with the ability to jump to specific points in th

There were a ton of firmware issues earlier. They have been (mostly) ironed out now. It was baffling when SP4 launched with so many issues. You'd expect that they would have learnt a lot from fixing the issues on SP3. OT: Let's se

This was exactly my thought and I was so glad when I saw this talk[1] address it. On a side note, I had submitted this to HN but somehow my submissions are visible only to me and doesn't appear when I checked the newest tab after loggi

Yes that's how I used to 'reliably' get it to restore my 3 windows with some 15 tabs each. I say 'used to' because today it just crashed and when I restarted it opened 1 window with 1 tab open :/ and because I

I'm sorry that it was unreadable. I thought the double space thingy was the way to quote things here. I guess it's for code.

The lucrative thing about Google Nearby is that it works across iOS and Android and since it has an option to fallback using sound (ultrasound?) it can work on any device which has a speaker and mic[1]. Are there any open solutions which le

I'm not sure if it helps, but there are some Bootstrap site designer IDEs which may help with what you need. Pingendo (free) [www.pingendo.com] Bootstrap Studio ($25) [www.bootstrapstudio.io] The discussion for Bootstrap Studio on HN h

Even I feel that by not doing custom designs they will be consumed by lower priced competition like Mediatek. This piece of info was by someone who claimed works/worked at Qualcomm so I didn't dismiss it initially. We will probabl

damn! here I was thinking that A10 is a big jump. I guess A10X Fusion will be a hell of a chip in the next iPads.

I somehow expected a ton of conversation around the new A10 Fusion chip. After 340+ comments I couldn't find any mention of it (I just did a page search for A10, A10 Fusion). Apple were already ahead with their per-core performance but

Very nice introduction with relevant links. However, I feel the 'Think of it like this' section is strictly for MacOS (and Linux?) users as it doesn't behave that way in Windows and can confuse the reader.

One thing that usually isn't mentioned (at least in the projects I have seen) is the wattage of the resistors required. I can have a 200 ohm resistors in 0.25 watt rating or 1 watt rating or something else. Depending on what is require

If I remember correctly edX is a non-profit. So I guess at least the content will be freely available even if they charge for the certification. I think both Coursera and edX have some financing schemes for those who can't afford the p

One factor may be that they expect 1.5 billion in revenue from 3 devices (Playstation 4.5, Nintendo NX, Microsoft Xbox One.5???) [1] But the chinese deal is probably the main reason [1]: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/20

I feel the 'one step away from Taliban' is taking it too far especially when you probably (I'm assuming here) haven't had any exposure to it other than what we see in the news. It should also be noted that a lot of the p

The desktop (win32) Skype app is pretty crappy even on a surface pro 3 and a lot of features are still missing in their UWA apps. For something as important (for microsoft) as Skype the software is bad.
