Not the OP, but something a bit more open ended and allowing interesting answers (IMHO): - If you had to design a programming language, what would be some of the decisions you would make? - (Since he lists things such woodworking, fiction w

Slightly tangential to the post: Does anyone know how to make diagrams (watercolor style) like the ones in OPs article and blog?

How different is this from pinboard.in - why should I migrate to this?

Not to be a debbie downer, looking at this chart hurts my head. I am sure there are many other ways to present this information in a much more elegant and clean way.

Can you please elaborate? At this point I am unsure if I should develop my C/C++ chops more or learn C# application development and add something new to the skillset.

Getting a job to develop with Rust would be a dream :)

Why? A lot of ML and scientific computing libraries are in C++. Quite a few of the roles I have see want a solid understanding/experience with C++.

by 3am_hackernews 12y ago
I think you pointed out my only concern quite well. The C# role is mainly developing application level software which would talk to the C/C++ drivers and such. This C# will be fitted into another framework which is the top level platfo

A couple more things I encountered when trying to sign-up: 1. I could not see New York, SFo on this list. Which are the current target cities? 2. Upload a JPEG only picture. Really?

I am more interested as to how they "..scraped the Urban Dictionary from its memory." - is it trivial to just delete something learned by AI?

So you are saying that they should start something like Amazon Payments? I am sure that they are looking into it and the 'Facebook Gifts' might play very easily into all this.

As with most of the neuroscience research, there exists a counter evidence to this - Boecker, H., Sprenger, T., Spilker, M.E., Henriksen, G., Koppenhoefer, M., Wagner, K.J., Valet, M., Berthele, A., Tolle, T.R. (2008). The Runner's High: O

Haha, yes - I lost my iWork apps likewise.

Let me clarify: You pay a premium for the entire ecosystem - hardware and software. Also, there are a lot of Mac apps not made by apple of better quality and inexpensive.

I think the point isn't that is impossible to be able to do a clean install of an OS and apps (Time Machine included) you have already paid (premium!) for but the fact that it is non-trivial and very much involved - all the things for which

I would like to ask your criteria for deciding the best phone. A few years ago, yes the iPhone was the best in specs and had the most innovative and unique features. I don't think it holds true any more.

Faster, slimmer, lighter and longer lasting - yes, these are really good updates in a small piece of equipment that iPhone 5 is, there's no denying that. But what really irks me is the way Apple marketing team is hyping it up - "This is the

I agree to the daily or maybe have an option for a weekly thing, but I am not sure how this will match up with the model/book you have planned out so far.

Yes, I was really curious about their metrics for ranking the startups. As you correctly pointed out - why is instacart missing while 9gag is present? I can name so many much better alternatives to 9gag: instacart, KIPPT, Everyday.me etc.
