Thanks, awesome job. I'm loving the definitions I'm seeing so far. How long did it take to create this?

This is great, and looks so much easier (as does Scaloid), but I have never found a commercial project that I can use it on. #1 by choosing Anko or Scaloid you are isolating future developers to only those familiar to Anko or Scaloid OR tho

I love Sauerkraut on a good sausage. Do you actually eat it on it's own?

Thanks, and I do love apples. Any good literature that you have read on the topic? I'm interested in changing to a more probiotic friendly diet.

Any recommendations for probiotics? I've tried a couple with no luck myself.

While I agree that Twitter has strained relationships with developers, Fabric is a great move. For anyone who hasn't used Fabric, it is the best mobile SDK integration I have ever seen. It seamlessly works with XCode, Android Studio, I

Funny how some of these are way off, while others are pretty spot on: 7. Don't disappear from the retail chains. Rent space in a computer store, flood it with Apple products (especially software), staff it with Apple salespeople, and d

True that. I have no motivation to update my iPad 2 so far!

Is it really dying? Just curious as I love mine and I am not familiar with the numbers. I remember speculation some time last year, but the article I had read didn't cite any hard data.

I'd much rather spend my money on Dry Soda. I buy alot of their Cucumber flavor myself and the stuff is delicious. It doesn't leave you feeling gross and has much less sugar, plus natural flavor extracts and uses cane sugar. http

yes, its usually IDE's emulator's for me. Put xCode and Android Studio on there and run an emulator. Also, I've had a similar experience running Visual Studio + SQL Server.

So glad jQuery came along and became what it is. Scary to think of a world where it was just bundled alongside Prototype. For those not versed in Prototype, those were dark days (at least for me).

Even false prediction have truth behind them. Just because the author mentions some truths doesn't mean that his conclusion is right. This is his case, and though he mentions some truths, his conclusion is "laptops will remain in

If you read the last paragraph the author doesn't believe in the idea of the laptop and says they will remain a niche market. I honestly believe he couldn't imagine a light, affordable laptop with features being desired other th

If that was the case, I wouldn't have had a problem with the authors viewpoint but it statements like, For the most part, the portable computer is a dream machine for the few. that really miss. And then their is the conclusion, which

The prediction is in the title, and it's that laptops are a drying (or dead) trend because they are #1 too heavy, #2 do not have good software, #3 are too expensive.

This is an amusing bit of opinion. It is always a risk to show an opinion for this very reason. At this moment, their are people siding one way or the other about tech bubbles, smartwatches, drones and self driving cars. 30 years from now i

"People never did end up taking laptops fishing" The article starts off describing laptops on airplanes, the tag about fishing just seems like an exaggeration by the author. I would say that the author was wrong and this is a good

Guy who started out in math and ended up with a blended math and CS degree here. Their definitely were some parallels, but even in a program where they tried to combine the two, it didn't always mesh. I felt more like upper level math

How comfortable do you feel giving up raw fruits/vegetables in favor of Soylent? I feel like that is my main question about the product, and I would be curious to hear from a vegan what the experience is like.

by stevebot 11y ago
I like the idea of Soylent, but everything I have read lately on nutrition seems to suggest that gettings vitamins and minerals from real food should be a priority and is against multivitamins. I wonder what is people's view on Soylent

Yes, WhatsApp doesn't have any real revenues, but Sam doesn't mention them. YC alum's are not building WhatsApp. Uber has customers, real revenue (in the billions). So does AirBnb. So does SpaceX. So does Palantir. Just name

correct, I think it is actually a good interview problem for discussion and don't mind it. What I do mind is the attitude of some of my colleagues that if a candidate can't immediately jump to the optimal answer, then they are a p

You have the additional requirement that you change one character at a time, and end up building a graph of neighbors and doing BFS on it.

Edit: Why the downvote? Disagree? I would love to hear more about why this attitude is helpful. I love algorithms, AND I think they are necessary in interviews, but I feel like the tech community has become ridiculous in how they interview

by stevebot 12y ago
Yes it does matter, though its not usually very grand. Think about it this way, most of those algorithms you learned in college took someone in academia years to write. The algorithms I write in my day-job are usually MUCH more simple. For

My 5 cents of consulting vs freelancing from my own experiences in Business Intelligence and Mobile/Web development. With consulting, you are not necessarily responsible for execution. Your job is primarily to make recommendations. Tha

by stevebot 12y ago
While you mention freelancing, I have found this sentiment very true of consulting as well. You have multiple clients, all likely without knowledge or consideration of the others.It becomes very difficult to manage deadlines and expectation
