No, if it's a hobby, it's supposed to be enjoyable. I do enjoy programming. I could enjoy iOS development as much as Android development or server development so why not combine that with making money?

Was that an autocorrect error: "ramen profitable"? I like it, but I'm looking for more than ramen money. I'm guessing you meant "really profitable".

This sounds like a great way to get everybody in India to watch it.

Why didn't they just ADVERTISE the tuition as $12,000 (or maybe $15,000) rather than $36,000 if they were discounting the tuition for 67% of the students anyway. A lot of people probably didn't even bother to apply because of sti

Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions. I think the "niche" suggestions were the most helpful. I haven't had much feedback from Show HN. Just FYI, the project is a mathematical oriented drawing app for Android. It's h

Both GM and Ford have been hiring a lot of software engineers in Detroit in the past few years. The problem is that they need NASA-style software engineers (crazy-anal nit-picky consider-every-possibility style engineers)--not engineers fr

I'd like to point out that microservices are not always as cheap as you may think. In the AWS/Lambda case, what will probably bite you is the API Gateway costs. Sure they give you 1,000,000 calls for free, but it's $3.50 pe

I think you must mean USB-C ports. There are no standard USB-A ports on the MacBook Pro any longer. https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs/

How's the trackpad compared to the Mac's? I don't need force touch. Just smooth precise scrolling. The trackpad is actually one of my top considerations when buying a laptop because I rarely use a mouse any more.

Just FYI, Kahn Academy's Linear Algebra course is great. Very thorough and well-thought-out.

I think the only part of Android that's under GPL is the Linux kernel. The rest is under the Apache license.

I've been to Pittsburgh too, and I do think that a possibility. One advantage that Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill has over Pittsburgh is weather. Amazon is very fault-tolerant minded. There's not much chance they'd need to clo

I agree. There's a huge tech workforce in RTP, very good universities, affordable costs of living (which I suppose translates to affordable business property). Another indication: Take a look at the size of the Triangle AWS Meetup g

To everybody posting about not working on a side project because of children, I would ask you to reconsider that if you're truly passionate about something and want to develop it. I've been working on a side project for a few yea

Another disappointing limitation is being restricted to Node.js. AWS Lambda lets you write your code in Node.js, Python, Java, or C#. This is particularly useful for tuning your Lambdas based on their expected usage. If you have a Lambda

I don't think this is exactly the same as the proposed problem. What it's giving you is the expected value. This includes in its calculation the lower probability cases and the higher probability cases. For instance, there&#x27

Brute force gives me about 2287/2288. Trying each number 1,000,000 times (distribute X balls in 365 bins, count number times all bins are filled) so it seems reliable, but maybe I have bug somewhere: import java.util.Random; public cl
