It's definitely not a bad idea to study PHP. That being said, I tend to think learning anything is a good idea (even a bad language would teach you something valuable). It would seem you're definitely conscious of the disdain towa

"Lots of people don't know their birthday" Really? I've never met a single person who didn't. I guess "lots" in the terms of thousands could be plausible, vs "lots" in the terms of "a high p

So, if you're running a... time management tool, let's say it's just a todo list. Then you create another tool, a time tracker so you can log your hours on your todo items. You should force them to sign up for it in order to

I love being signed into Chrome. If I looked something up on my phone while I was walking into work, I can quickly open it in a tab on my desktop. If I searched for a specific coffee shop on my desktop and only remember a couple of letters

They silently activated his account in the background. That doesn't really seem annoying to me. If he wasn't looking for it, or didn't want to become enraged by it, he probably could have just ignored/dismissed the alert

Jeeze, you think he can just do all that typing for free? He has to pay the bills somehow. Unlike those greedy corporations! </sarcasm>

It was firsthand. I'm not entirely sure how many people were invited to the call. They talked about the hackathon (mostly marketing stuff). In the QA afterward they were asked some details about teams (if everyone had to be there, etc)

"But we hear from every complainer, "the only possible way I could loose is cheating, I'm so entitled to this, I DESERVE TO WIN THE HACKATHON, WHERE IS MY TROPHY???? I ALWAYS get a trophy!!!". Sore losers? Check." I

Yeah, we knew this was going to happen after hearing that. We should have just aborted, but decided to be hopeful that it would be tastefully handled. I guess that was too much to hope for.

I kind of don't want them to have my code anymore. Since they didn't even consider it for the competition, I feel like they don't have fair use to have it on their servers.

It seemed kind of stressed in all of press surrounding this. My guess: To give the impression these are college kids doing a neat project.

About a week before Dreamforce, Salesforce had a call with their "premiere partners", and were very unsure about their own rules. They ended up saying "You can submit an existing app or product, but you'll only be judged

I'm not sure how it sounds like sniveling losers... It's like entering a painting competition, spending hours creating a piece of art and the people running the contest saying "Just put it in that closet, we already have our

Except for the hackathon, but that kind of ended up being a little sketchy IMO. Otherwise, they didn't do much other than throw out cheesy marketing phrases "at the speed of sales" "internet of customers" etc etc

Isn't that actually an amazing feature though? Low energy bluetooth can give you a decent range (and some range detection). Wouldn't it be great to tell it to notify you only when you leave a larger radius. Unless you're in a

I wouldn't necessarily say it's much easier to work with. Could not manage to pull down anything representing the front page, and from what I could tell from a lot of searching, no one else could either. So yes, you have access to

I mean, take any successful product X and go "Hey everyone check this thing out", and they'll go "meh, yeah, it looks good at it's job". I always look to HN for some really new use of tech, or the rough product

Spend a week on each, figure out which one you enjoy more and dive deeper into it. Neither are so obviously advantageous that the answer is clear cut.

I did the search and they're just smiling.... I'm not sure what you're seeing. Some clarification or examples might help.

They should never be used verbally, I think most people can agree on that. However, I don't think using them online makes you sound like an idiot. Adding tags/categories/characteristics to your data can only be advantageous o

At least 4 people on HN had the same instinct, myself among them. HN is definitely a more technical cross section of the internet population. Anyhow, yes, it was a .5 second instinct to interact with it and then I figured it out. Not sure i

Because it's just a stupid response. It's like someone saying "I could really use a SAAS that does [X]" and you going "You're so lazy, what a stupid question". I know we're all hackers here and we&#x2

It's a huge company acknowledging start ups and offering them some free services. The free tier is pretty awesome as it is, and they "only" offered a couple more free services on top of that. I don't know, I'm using
