Some years ago, I would say that this job title might have come under Middleware or Integration Engineer, or something like that, especially in big banks or firms like IBM. You mig…

Fascinated to read this post as I’m doing almost exactly the same thing. Just started using Xcode for the first time, a month ago. I’m not inexperienced with software development, …

Agree, the Pocket recommendations on Firefox’s New Tab page are good and have helped me discover new websites outside my usual bubble.

They’re not the only company to do this. “InVideo” (a totally not open source SaaS product) also does the same.

Thanks for this. Didn't know about the 'tech co-op' scene, so appreciate the detailed info!

How does one find out more about this scene, and more importantly does it actually provide you with enough income to live on? (Rent is expensive in cities)

> I'm also confused... who reads blogs but doesn't read the docs? I’d say lots of people. Most people are searching for a specific solution to a technical problem. If they see a ho…

Hey HN! Live Curtain is a simple countdown clock and text banner in your browser. You can use it to share a message and a countdown in your online meetings, stand-ups, lessons, etc…

The problem with proportional pricing is, who decides the value? If your website becomes successful, and the word "facebook" becomes more valuable, what's to stop ICANN simply incr…
