I'm 18, and my co-founder is just turning 18 in a week. So we never really expected to get in. We are both completely broke, so we're going to launch a kickstarter campaign to see if we can get the funding for more hosting (and th

Well. Now I'm completely terrified. I've been working on a project for about 8 months, with about 3 months on-going after a decision to re-write and reign in focus, with YC as a major end goal the entire time. Now that it's a

I really hope this blog is only talking about Tor the community and not Tor the technology. I'm pretty sure it's impossible to ban people who are harassing others without storing some identity information, which completely defeats

So, for those of is trying to start companies, how do you create an effective work-place environment? It's obvious from articles like this that you can't just dump a bunch of cash on slides and ping-pong tables, but it also isn&#x

goto is perfectly acceptable in C code. The most common use case is for cleaning up after errors before returning, although they're also used to break out of nested loops cleanly. goto is harmful when used improperly but fine everywher

There is a limit on information to area in space. Eventually, bitcoin is going to be impractical to store even if you have a very large storage device at absolute maximum capacity.

Deflationary currencies reward saving over spending. Aka, you can just sit on your money and it increases in value. That's really bad for an economy. My ideal cryptocurrency would constantly "leak" money, trying to maintain a

C needs wider adaptation of Apple's "Blocks" extension and MAYBE extremely limited generics and it's perfect.

LibDispatch is actually FOSS, and it kind of works on Linux. Sadly, nobody seems to bother with supporting it in any way, shape, or form.

I'd consider that fusion of paradigms to be a huge strength of the language.

I don't really see how this is feminism. I do think that supporting women in tech is a noble goal, but "considering user needs in the design of a system" never struck me as a uniquely feminist concept.

Objective-C is probably the saddest story of any programming language. Absolutely fantastic libraries, incredibly easy to write high-level abstractions over very low-level C code, and completely useless outside of one platform. I wish proje

This might be proprietary, but Apple's other major codec is open.[1] Hopefully this will be as well. [1] http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Lossless

Really great to see a company acknowledging that privacy is a major concern. It's also a great business decision, because privacy is one thing that Google will never be able to beat Apple on. They pretty much have no way to for them to

Am I the only person who finds the digit separator syntax ugly and a bit unnecessary? I love the rest of the changes, but that just doesn't sit right with me.

It's an image-search site. We have the core product (searches) about 99% finished. We're mostly trying to make the frontend as responsive and intuitive as we want it to be. I want to work on it with my partner a little bit more be

Yeah. This was pretty disappointing for me. I'm in the process of starting a company with a friend, but neither of us are 18 yet, so the chances of us getting into an accelerator or VC fund are next to zero (not that it's going to

Technically, a lava lamp is deterministic. Still, I'd say that it's "close enough" to be considered a real RNG. There's almost no way to see a pattern in it, and I'm pretty sure that it would be completely impr

Then you do it out of a sense of duty to the past. People spend ages carefully preserving forks and other trinkets from the 1700s. Surely an entire person would be worth equal care, and a group of people more so.

The "flag" example could be easily replaced with named parameters. Seems a bit unnecisary to add a new type for that purpose, unless I'm missing something.

As a young (18 in a month) programmer myself, I enjoy this idea. I'm not certain about distributing aid in this manner, however. A lot of kids who would deserve this might not necessarily be the best at presentation or marketing. Still

Isn't this applicable to any kind of bitmask, and not just Obj-C? I suppose that Cocoa uses bitmasks fairly often, but this article could have been titled "Working With Bitmasks in C" and it would have been just as accurate.

It should be noted that this might not have been a coder error, but a merge conflict. Nobody should be reprimanded in that case, since it's nobody's fault (except whoever decided to not test or lint this file, but he should have b
