Nope. Doesn't work. Everyone's advice fails to work for me. I tend to think this is just a mass conspiracy or giant elaborate joke. I'm going to use this JS script to generate tests to see if I can get people who can do this

VCs are not like your local bank with all the time and willingness to hear all the potential business plans and pitches that can be thrown at them. Also their system isn't just spawned out of some kind of elitist mindset to keep you ou

The article says that it's the same format as Chocolatey (an existing Windows package management tool) but actually it's a fork of NuGet in Windows 10 and Chocolatey is also a compatible fork of NuGet. Microsoft already owns and m

I thought this pretty apparent a few years ago? Has everyone still been on the bandwagon and still developing in WPF heavily? I sure Microsoft is not going to kill it but it's not the active area of focus with RT. It's unfortunate

We started with games and it's most of what you see on the site, but it's never been our only focus. If you hit our sales team up at contact@apportable.com, we have product that is in beta that you could get access to that might w

That's an awesome bug test case. I guess if you are the kind of dev that likes to start by copying StackOverflow question code (and not the SO answer code), then that is a perfectly acceptable project to start with to get started with

I disagree on the numbers you mention. There a amazing number of .NET engineers not writing CRUD apps. That is an over generalization. Take a look at the Unity crowd. Also the vast majority of startups not building tech can get by with basi

It was fun participating. YC Hacks was my 141st hackathon I've attended and the 111th I've competed in. We didn't win this (can't win them all), but we had a lot of fun. I can't wait until the next one. It was gener

yes. during the campaign, a few sites had those video ads and I had to watch the Meg Whitman video and then type in "GoMegWhitman2010". I did not.

I highly doubt that actually. Swift is not a replacement. There will always be glue between Swift and platform and system APIs. Swift only interoperates with Objective-C and (to a limited extent) C and not C++ (and a lot of APIs in Apple wo

Wbat is funny is that put up that bounty. It took a years to get a hit and then it got a crazy. What is also funny is before they killed that program, they actually implemented any of the techniques from people that won those contests.

SpriteKit is ok but it lacks a lot of feature found in Cocos2d. SpriteKit is also closed so if you find a bug, you have to wait a year and hope for an update. Cocos2d users are free to fork and optimize as they want. You have full control.
