What does this mean?

It's a novel idea, and you could almost say that's what GitHub (or open source in general). People donate their time and efforts, and in return they get to partake in the finished product. I'm not sure how well I see this wor

If you haven't told her "what to call you" you need to do so now.

I think long term he'll be remembered for his election winning process (using technology, data mining, etc), and for public healthcare. I think that the scandals that have popped up are typical of our time, and not necessarily like Oba

I used to try to do that stuff, but it really is truly the definition of a waste your time. I mean, doing it once to get appreciation for the experts, and to justify the value of those things is worth it. But continuing to blast your head a

That mock-up screen shot looks awful!

Just made a post about this very same thing (deleted it btw.) I'm not THAT interested in the NSA bs, and if I was I certainly wouldn't need a separate post for every news organization that covers the topic.

The UI looks great, downloading now and will try to give feedback later.

I try to see it as more of a hobby. Some people try to perfect their free throws, wood carving, guitar playing, etc. A lot of the time they're going to "fail", or see flaws in what they've produced. It's just a matter of keeping at it, bein

I went through something similar. 6 years at a company, ended up being the only developer on a pretty giant software package. I fretted for months, almost a year over how I could possibly do it without screwing them over. I tried to get the

I really like it a lot. Somehow I got unfocused from the text box and tried to backspace to clear out my answer, which took me back in my browser and lost my progress :( maybe some client side storing of progress could be helpful. I was hav

Just have to be creative/logical at the same time. Simple! :)

He created something that apparently a lot of people on HN find interesting (it wouldn't be on the front page otherwise). Personally, I make iOS apps so it could be useful in the future. On top of that, anyone who gives stuff away for free

Looks great, and it's an awesome idea. I'm not sure what your incentive to continue doing this will be, but please do. Also, I would much prefer quality over quantity. So, if one week you don't have time to create something great, just skip

If I had any spare time I would write a chrome plugin that automatically took everything after "Ask HN:", build a google search and added it as a comment.

If you turn off new accounts, how do you know you're not pushing away 10 high quality new users to avoid one negative user signing up? The only thing I could suggest would be to lower the bar for downvote capability. Or is that not an optio

Pretty much. I work for a pretty large software consulting firm and there are hours of meetings about simple design decisions. These are decisions that a recent grad out of university could make in about 10 seconds and make correctly. We ha

Just wanted to throw a comment in here that I've been using tokbox for a while and love it. Anyone who needs video chat in their app should check it out. {Not affiliated in any way}

You have the option of branding it for each of those main usages that you mention. Make a website like "ScubaBooking.com" and "OutdoorAdventureBooking.com" and just slightly customize the website for each one. People like the idea of having

Haha, yeah, I know. It's kind of a sweeping dismissal of most of those arguments. PHP is not cool but it's still good at getting a job done.

Besides the potential racial undertones, getting feedback on a name without a clue of the product is a little difficult.

Nothing wrong with PHP, just use what you know and are good at.

What's going on in the console there? Otherwise, very cool! Assuming you're going to put a little bit more into there. Maybe a command to send you an email or something would be neat (and fun to abuse).

Have you tried Asana? It's amazing. (Disclaimer: I don't work for them or know anyone who is in any way affiliated with them. Just a happy customer)

Nor do I. I think it's a combination of things, habits formed from playing games late as a kid is one, but I think that wanting to solve a problem enough to stay up late for it is another. As is a natural procrastinating spirit that many de

Post it to HN, explain you're looking for feedback. Don't be afraid of being told it's shit. For every person who's looking to increase their self esteem by putting you down, there will be one honestly trying to help. Next... and this is wh

It depends on how it came off. If it sounded like you were talking slowly as a way of talking down to them, I probably wouldn't want to work with you either. A lot of developers can come off as demeaning, and this can be compounded by insec
