I used it primarily as a travel & underwater cam. The software is pretty terrible out of the box, and I ended up having a decent # of pictures that were either never saved or "lost…

I can't say for the privacy policy, but I used Clue for over a year without an account. Since I forgot to do a final export of the data before resetting my phone (I know, I know...…

My team also recently built a chat service into a mobile app for a cruise line, and had to have high resiliency to network drops and offline users - while having a mission-critical…

We use this at the (very large) corp that I work at, with very large, complex, high-traffic/revenue sites. Each component in the architecture has it's own "light/dark" deployment (…

I agree regarding the international aspect. Regarding juggling sim cards: I recently traveled between a few EU countries using a 3 UK pay-as-you-go card (with the their roaming pac…

This! It would be nice if the places recommended were aggregated from the typical go-tos for travel (Yelp, TripAdvisor) - rather than starting yet-another place for reviews/opinion…

As a woman engineer I understand what the OP is trying to say, but it sounds callous and (surprisingly) oblivious to the realities of this field. As someone else pointed out: "1) W…

I actually find both 2 & 3 to be more prevalent in self-taught programmers (especially those who know enough "officially" taught people to have an inferiority complex. (i.e. why re…

Excellent, thank you for the detailed reply! I am looking forward to the evolution of this app.

How would you say the stability of this release compares to the last version? I understand it's very new software, but the last version I played with (1-2 weeks ago) was incredibly…

I don't know if Redfin uses the same feeds, but their update times seem vastly superior to Trulia, Zillow & Estately. After spending 1 1/2 years trying to find a house in a turnkey…

Getting more women into tech* isn't just about the money ... 1.) Not encouraged in early years: If you are a tech-savvy female, "soft" tech careers (Graphic Design etc.) are genera…

I have the opposite background, but similar anecdotes. Spent all of high school and college in various art or design-focused curriculum and degrees. Inevitably ended up taking a fe…

Let me precede this by saying - JS is one of my favorite programming languages. And I agree, unless you know JS you will not be a well-rounded client-side engineer. But... Unless t…

And the easier sites become to maintain. Which is easier, maintaining rounded corners applied via CSS3, the old-school sliding doors, or JS? See also: text shadow, and box-shadow.

All of those are things regular people - i.e. not hacker news readers - don't give a toss about.

Is Netflix in-browser streaming still dependent on Silverlight?

This is my PhantomJS experience as well! What mitigated this a bit though, is the actual Phantom codebase on-top of Webkit is really small. So when you need to figure out exactly w…

PhantomJS is one of the better "headless" browsers out there. Webkit-based, Minimal src codebase (Python), and easy to compile (with QT tools). IMO The API is a little weird though…

IMO this is the best overall Vim add-on repo (for Python and Ruby devs alike): https://github.com/carlhuda/janus [1] [1] http://yehudakatz.com/2010/07/29/everyone-who-tried-to-conv…

This is how I approach project design as well (after the POC phase): Top down (API first). Then (not covered in parent article) bottom-up, (a.k.a. what building blocks does that AP…

Besides the whole `cd` override thing, I am curious why so many people are "confused" or have problems with RVM? (This is a genuine question. I've never had problems with RVM, but …

What was so frustrating about RVM?

Same here. I am planning my wedding, and Pinterest has been invaluable! Protip: If you can find the founders email (I can't remember of the top of my head), you can ask for an invi…
