I was a philosophy dropout software engineer who worked on the other side of the country and was aggressively recruited by Palantir a few years back (I passed, mostly not wanting to relocate)... I think they like to keep that top-tier CS co

I thought we resolved this with hackernews.el - why would you read hackernews with anything but Emacs? IT MAKES NO SENSE>

I covered evil-mode in my previous post[1], mostly advising new converts not to rely on it, but just to take the Emacs plunge completely. [1] http://decomplecting.org/blog/2014/10/23/welcome-to-the-dark..

Definitely! Angel List has a really simple REST API, it shouldn't be hard to do. I used it with my (fake) EdTEch Startup Generator[1], to check if my fake startup is actually a real startup. I was surprised how often it happens. [1] h

Even in C, always remember the rules of Macro Club[1]: 1) You do not write macros. 2) You do not write macros that violate expectations of normal code behavior. 3) If this is your first time, you must write a macro. 4) Don't think obje

I'd actually be okay with this if they also stopped using LaserShip. They're part of the reason packages take "significantly longer than the advertised two days" to arrive.

I use a Mac for work. Mainly (sadly) because XCode. But other than XCode crap, I could do everything else on Linux, BSD, Solaris, etc. I'm not completely against OS X... until they finally disable non-App Store software sources, the th

You can develop for Chromebooks, on Chromebooks, for free, and it's one-time $5 to distribute. That's what. The point is about access to the tools, the skills, and the ability to share; if the vendor controls any of those, FAIL.

You don't. It's $25 to publish on Google Play; you can share a *.apk with whomever you wish. On iOS, on the other hand, it's $99/yr if you even want to run your own code on your own device. And you have to 'provisio

This. This right here. This is why I detest Apple as a professional developer. The "hacker kids" issue is almost orthogonal, but I can't stand the idea of someone telling me what I can run on a device I purchased.

by canweriotnow 13y ago
Yeah, but if you want to run that code on a device you own, why should you have to pay Apple a $99 ransom?
