I like the "don't break the chain" method as well. I actually designed a calendar that displays the whole year at a glance. Mine is printed out and placed on a wall that I will see every day. I use it for the "don't

This method makes getting the shell off easy as well. Edit: It's stated in the article that this method makes getting the shell off really easy. Just to be clear, I chose this method primarily for that reason, but it also requires a minimum

Steam doesn't rent games, which is what I believe qwikster intends to do. It's gamefly they would be competing with. If I were gamefly, I'd be very worried right now.

I haven't seen that it's dead, myself. Not sure what others are seeing. I've been doing Android development, and I sort of formed a bit of an Android dev community on G+. Some people post more than others, sure, but I've made some friends o

Polish is nice to have, sure, but if nobody wants to actually play the delivered experience, all the polish in the world won't save it. Nobody should buy a game just because it's polished. While I'd prefer polish on all my games, I'll take

I tried the game and passed on it when it was released. I can't speak for the general public, but it was not a failure of marketing for me. It just wasn't enough to get me to spend money on it. It was polished, and not bad , just... sort o

This reminds me of (what was previously _why's) "try ruby!" at http://tryruby.org/ I always loved that, and I think this has a lot of potential. Tomorrow being Whyday, I think I'll send this to some people to try and spread the joy of pro

To my knowledge Google has never used a patent offensively. I assume that your comment is referencing things like the recent nortel patents with Apple and Microsoft. Well, you can't even remotely say that those companies haven't used patent

Completely agree with Tarn. I would go further, and describe certain types of games as evil. Social games, in particular, I believe have evil game design. Here's an interview with the somewhat controversial but always interesting game desig

Writing a launcher takes work. I don't think it's ever strange to expect payment in return. Just because Google wrote a launcher at some point in the past doesn't mean that all future programmer's work in that area should be released for fr

Indeed it does. I never called you wrong, just asked where you got your info. I'm in now, so I guess it doesn't matter any more.

To my knowledge, Google has never offensively used a patent. A large percentage of their products are open source. They develop a lot of open technologies in an attempt to make the web better/faster for everyone (which, in theory, will be g

Can you elaborate on where you heard this? I've seen it implied that no invites are planned until after the "field test", and who knows how long that period might be.

The optimizing for life stuff I think is the most important point here. Using the hippest languages and techniques is just so much less important than getting things done in a simple, effective way that makes sense for you right now. A litt

Perhaps, but I think you'd agree that my experience in general was very different from what a lot of people are describing here.

Just wanted to chime in here, since I happen to have a positive HTC customer service story. I have a nexus one. I bought it when it still came with an OLED screen. The screen eventually started having color issues. I just dealt with a pinki

I really appreciate when devs are willing to put out information like this. Not just the money, but also what the process and experience is like. I was inspired by a previous HN post about starting Android development to try it myself. I ac

I live on long island(in NY), and would love an entry-level coding opportunity in the area. Obviously I read HN, and I'm always reading and learning more about technology while dabbling with languages. For example, today I've been writing

Just out of curiosity, got any pictures of these? Making my own notebook is something I've considered ever since exploring my pocket notebook options. Your comment might be the thing that gets me off the fence.
