Flip it and look at it from the other side. Your inbox filling up with emails and attachments creates cognitive load; you have to decide what to do with all of them eventually. When you're consuming stories/snaps you see it, and i

I'm not sure I'm seeing your argument against using promises over observables for single events. Observables are a superset of promises, sure, but you can map them into situations where you'd use promises and then still have

I took it to mean that the 'something' being scored was a relationship. Maybe this is some kind of sexist dog whistle I'm not hearing but I'm inclined to give the benefit of the doubt instead of trying to language police

This is a bit divergent but GitHub alone is a bad litmus test to determine if someone as accomplished anything as a software engineer. Many talented engineers are precluded by their contracts from contributing, use other channels to do so,

Yes! I was lucky enough to start a green-field project recently and basically did exactly what the author is advocating against. So far it's been the most extendable, easy to read and easy to maintain project I've worked on. The a

Sometimes you're sending via SMTP, sometimes via MailGun. If you don't remember to call GetMailPolicySingleton()->SetSendingMechanism() before every email.send() you end up using whatever policy was set last.

I see the country's involvement in war as an inevitability born from the continued evolution of the military industrial complex. Like any organization, a primary goal of the military is for it to self sustain. To reduce its size to a l

Companies like Uber and Lyft operating without as stringent regulation as regular taxi companies is their main competitive advantage (AirBnB is in the same group). Taxi drivers have lobbied for years to build up the kind of economic protect

A bit OT, but "Oh how surprising the cute girl is in second position" is casual sexism and really dismissive. Read her statement on gettip for some extra irony.

Are you sure about that? It seems like there is nothing 'insanely efficient' about physically sending paper across the country when the recipient has indicated that no, you actually don't need to do that. It's like the U

Why should I have to choose a different, shorter password because of your implementation details? Seems like an unnecessary annoyance.

Cellphones and the Internet were adopted on a person by person basis. It became easy to imagine yourself with them once the neighbour got it. Basic Income takes much more buy in from more people to get off the ground. I like the idea of it

You're missing his argument completely, which is that targeted advertising has upsides for both the advertiser and the consumer. While I prefer no ads over ads, given the choice I'd prefer relevant ads vs random ads. That being sa

I think calling this a bubble is akin to calling slot machines a bubble. Unfortunately I feel like these types of scam games are here to stay and like slot machines, will make up a large portion of the industry's total revenue.

Thanks for checking it out! I agree it's awkward to have the temperature unit selection on its own page, but it seemed like something that wouldn't change much so I wanted to hide it away.

Just curious, why isn't BlackBerry a real alternative to surveillance tainted iOS and Android phones?

Nitpick here, but Shopify is a Canadian company. I do agree they should support chip payments as most payment processors in Canada use them.

Hello HN! OP here. I'm not an app developer by trade, but I've tried my hand at Android development to scratch one of my own itches. I know the HN crowd appreciates things that are a little more technically impressive, but I can&#

Hopefully someone can clear this up for me: With the price rising so quickly what incentive is there to actually use BTC as intended, as a currency? Because the maximum number of coins is fixed it's pretty easy to project where the val

Could you point to an example? 'Hand holding' could mean many different things. Hiding configuration settings? Verbose instructions? Big shiny pulsating continue buttons? If you mean people were complaining that the controls were

I actually do believe iOS7 a step back usability wise (at a component UX level, not in features). The reduction of visual affordances in controls makes it very hard to tell at a glance what is interactive, and often even where the touch are

Could you elaborate? Right now it sounds like you've made a snap judgement without actually trying it.

To speak to your point about the Q10, the lack of affordances for moving between apps was a deliberate design choice. It creates a small learning curve when you first get the device, which is supposed to be ramped up through a short tutoria

It's almost self evident. Does a car cost > 30k a year? Does gas? Just like software engineering, the biggest cost in the taxi game is labour. Edit: Maybe I goofed, mattmcknight accurately points out that in many cities the taxi med

I always thought Android's openness was a driving force behind the platform's fragmentation. If anyone can build an Android device, and modify it however, wouldn't you expect it? Wasn't it an expected byproduct of Google
