Wow, that all caps menu is ugly. I hadn't seen that before. As the only person I can talk to working on VS team.. I hold you personally responsible. "Fix It!"

Is that a mag connector for the power? I didn't think anyone but apple could use that.

While this is hilarious. It's important to remember that charging EV cars isn't as fast as refueling at the moment. Maybe eventually though.

Alternatively, I have almost no web experience and come from an embedded consumer electronics background. Similar problem... :)

FIRST Robotics was an amazing experience. Our sponsoring university basically let us have free reign of their machine shop and made us do all the work ourselves, They just offered assistance if asked. Some of my favorite memories of school.

I'm in the middle of picking up Ruby primarily because there was a GitHub project I wanted to fork and modify for my purposes that happened to be written in Ruby.The biggest problem I found is that the Ruby (or maybe the Rails?) community b

This is exactly it. "In theory". Prior to iPad, then before MacBook air... This is exactly the device I wanted apple to make (And in many ways I still do). Sadly, when you wrap your head around things like battery, heat, and the like. You r

Not sure what their margins are. But I'd give them 99$ today to send my wife 13 pairs of socks. :-)

Oh wow. That's bad. It's in small font buried in a pargraph of text. The price really needs to be in big letters somewhere. Clicking buy doesn't even point out the price. (Subscribe page has no price anywhere that I see : http://www.sotmcl

I love this idea. I love the site. I hate that 3 minutes of searching didn't reveal to me the price. I'm going back to search a bit more.

People talk about the types of programmers you company needs, things like: Starter finisher bug fixer architect In many ways I think these are the sorts of things that are influenced by your background. People with a CS background tend to b

So, I agree with this article in spirit. Lots of programmers could've benefitted from a more programming centric approach rather than a CS approach. However, this bit gave me pause. " I cannot tell the difference by watching them develop so

Lucid dreams for me were a side effect of other things. They didn't effect the quality of my sleep, which was already very poor. My sleep apnea was such that my brain "woke up" about 45 times an hour. This kept me from ever experiencing ful

by tseabrooks 14y ago
I had lucid dreams fairly regularly during my teen years (I suspect due to some strangeness caused by sleep apnea). These days it's treated and I don't have these anymore. Though, for anyone interested I think it's totally worth trying to t

I'm surprised only 56% of projects fail to get funding. I expected it to be much higher. EDIT: Reading all other comments after posting this... It seems other people are equally as surprised as me. I wonder if this is related to the sort've

This is kind of what I was thinking. I've worked at a HW / Consumer Electronics (One of the big ones) and in many ways all of the comments around here about HW companies not really getting SW are 100% true. However, I don't think it's any l

Every laptop I've ever owned that wasn't a macbook (4) had complete hardware failures related to the damned DC power jack in the side of the laptop. Without fail the damn things always shorted out and/or just stopped working.

Apple has started rejecting apps for packing keywords into app names.

by tseabrooks 14y ago
As a long time C++ / C programmer I love every feature here... except one. I really abhor the new auto keyword. Perhaps it's personal taste (I also dislike the "Var" in JS). It really seems to make the code harder to follow with only minima

Just bad reporting. Despite what the world might like to believe smart phones existed before the iPhone, before 2007. Really, as early as 2000. Just as an example, windows mobile was really terrible. But it did provide a web browser, data c

I'm taking that info from the article. It was proposed as one of the reasons that piracy over seas is so prolific.

The article points out great benefits of using C in safety critical systems. However, as an embedded dev for 5 years... I'd say the advantage is the same as the disadvantage. Nitty gritty bit level memory manipulation and management can be

Torrentfreak's articles seem to get better and better. They note the ways in which piracy is hurting films (foreign sales) and show some numbers indicating that in the US it doesn't appear to be hurting sales much at all. While obviously to

Hands down the most important part of this comment is the touch pad. It's a real struggle to find a decent touch pad aside from you know who.

One of the numbers were: "90% of apps don't generate enough revenue to support a standalone business." While it might be true. I don't think it's very difficult for anyone coders on HN to release 8 "meh" apps and make enough to sustain a mo

I have a hard time working on something thats less than 2560x1440. I use a dell 30" @ 2560x1600 at the office with my macbook screen (1680x1050) as my secondary display. At home I hook the macbook up to my imac display (2560x1440) and use t

Important to not that in the vast majority of the U.S. there is no such thing as gun "licensing" or "registration". You can trade, loan, buy, give, or otherwise move firearms around all you wish with private parties. Your only obligation in
