This is just flatly untrue here, and arguable on other networks. I get tired of the idea that each single individual is owed direct say in the features and behaviors of networks on the Internet. I think it's the same sentiment that mak

So people decided to argue a sub-point of my question but not a single person would answer it directly? This is a community, do what you want, but I'm actually seeking your advice on what technology to use! Isn't that HN's d

LightTable and the source material that inspired me mean a lot to me, but I don't use it because I'm a really conservative adopter of technology. HN: Do you use it and should I use it for my HTML/CSS/JS? As I understand

The sad part about this is, from what I can tell, there's not going to be any fixing this any time soon. The company who wrote the code doesn't know what they're doing, and nobody else is ever going to be able to figure it ou

Looking over at my smoke detector that I took down 3 weeks ago and disabled because it was beeping, let's just say I agree with this video.

Appreciate the feedback - I still may try it, but that's not going to cut it for me. I'd still love to see it working though, so next question I ask I'll hook it up

They do! Also, it turns out you can turn on email notifications to your answers for any question at any time, but only every 3 hours, ever day, or every week. I want them the second they happen, so I'm gonna try your RSS function!

You should make one for Stack Overflow: when you ask a SO question, you're literally stuck until someone answers it.

I think the coolest thing about watching the project is that some of the ideas are like, actually good ideas. Maybe not huge ideas, but they're good ideas. I especially like Open Note. I always thought the bottleneck for Jennifer would

The ending: "Try this: build 1 website in 1 day" reminds of something an internet spam/dark arts guru said that really inspired me (won't link for reasons): "If someone held a gun to your head and said you have 24 h

Rails was released in 2003, and 2013 is almost over. So the question is "in 2 years, will Ruby on Rails still be popular and competitive" - yes. VERY much yes. In 10 years, we can debate that, but in 2016? No way!

The pricing honestly makes this unfeasible for me. This is exactly what I was looking for, but if I have an app I expect to be at least slightly popular, even the 20,000 plays a month at $95 is going to be too much, especially for launch mo

I don't know how to configure my email client. I could Google it, but until the first time this appeared on Hacker News, I didn't even think that that was an option for web based Gmail (which is what I use). Even after finding tha

Yeah I'm actually 50/50 on this, but I posted this in the middle of the day, bad time to post to HN, because I don't see it as a post that needs to be on the front page. But at the same time, I really, REALLY hope startups kn

I'm going to turn to Hacker News, as I always do, for context: what would 50% efficiency mean?

I wrote like 10 topic sentences for comments about shutting down a company and then just erased them, because what a horrible set of memories that topic brings out. I like reading about failure from Jason because he's had a win and is

Same, but I'm ok with it. I haven't been on 4chan in years, but I still love it and everything that it built/made in internet culture (well - maybe not EVERYTHING). It's good that the community would be sure to vote up t

He's done a great job of explaining this in the past - just making sure to clear it up. The worst thing in raising money is realizing you're not there yet - because NOBODY will tell you that, especially not investors.

You'll notice a common theme in this (excellent) piece: it's for startups that have some reason to believe they can actually raise a bunch of money. Startups who have either sufficient demonstrable talent behind them, are growing

Making something called "TitStare" or even starring at breasts aren't the worst kind of sexism. Making something called "TitStare" and then thinking it would be ok AND funny to give a presentation on it in public to

Anyone who ends a tenuous argument with "anyone who argues against this is (insert any insult here)" is being ridiculous.

It's perfectly fine to argue the merits of Android development, but arguing that it's hard to run an app on your own device using XCode is dishonest. It handles provisioning profiles automatically, and you can even hit "fix i

They won't have a problem with it, I'd bet on it. That's not their concern really at all - the people who look at confirming apps look at human interface guidelines, functionality, crashes (although we've had an app that

Outside of hubs, and even in hubs, it's ridiculously hard to raise money for a startup that isn't making money. I had so many conversations with investors for thecityswig.com who literally did not even want to have a conversation
