10dpd··on Randstad buys Monster for $429M as recruitment consolidation continues
I'd imagine job sites are like dating sites - churn is built in by definition as users achieve their goals.
10dpd··on How I built an app with 500,000 users in 5 days on a $100 server
So your initial user growth was from people who weren't actually able to contribute to the app?

Be very careful about adding/removing features based on one comment in a forum.
10dpd··on Spots – a view controller framework for iOS development
The problem with these types of frameworks is that as soon as you try to do something just outside of the provided templates and examples they either 1. break badly or 2. require a lot more time and effort than just developing the thing natively.
10dpd··on Minecraft to run artificial intelligence experiments
Its seems that the current progress in AI pioneered by DeepMind is predicated on being able to measure progress by using a pre-defined set of rules (i.e. the game currently being played).

How will this work in a MineCraft simulation where there are no rules? Where will the feedback loop come from, e.g. a subjective evaluation by "humans"?

10dpd··on Ask HN: Why don't you blog?
Sorry I don't understand - you're not sufficiently white enough to blog?

10dpd··on Google Maps Streetview Player

Borrow $1 million from a Japanese bank.
10dpd··on Show HN: Hint.css v2.0 – Pure CSS tooltip library
How accessible is this approach to screen reader users and people who rely on keyboard interaction alone?

10dpd··on How I Built a Side Project
Here's another checklist style app, only built on PHP AppEngine. So far there hasn't been enough traffic though to make a reasonable estimate of cost.

10dpd··on Britain’s teeth aren’t that bad – but what of their rotten history?
I don't know why this is being downvoted, this is completely accurate for the English NHS where the UDA system is used (Northern Ireland and Scotland have a different fee per item system).

Many English NHS dentists encourage patients to return for multiple treatments instead of doing all the work in one treatment.

10dpd··on Europe Remotely – EU-friendly remote dev jobs
I agree, even on smarthires.io, where positions are supposedly vetted and only open to YC alumni, I've had several companies that have abruptly ended the conversation when I state I'm based in Europe, despite my profile clearly stating that my preferred location is London or Remote.
