I don't think the bug was deliberate, could of been just an honest mistake.

But on the other hand, why didn't the compiler generate an "Unreachable Code" warning during build?

We have explicitly set this warning to "Treat as Error" during our builds.

@650REDHAIR .. try https://diphur.com if you're interested in monitoring competitors web pages.

Agreed, OneNote is the main app we use to sync home/work desktop with mobile (were all Apple devices) and is dead nuts reliable.

It has just enough features without feeling heavy to suit our needs.

I heard the problem is bolt failure holding the oil cooler which happens to be right above a red hot exhaust system.

Agreed, MS Visual Studio 2013 must have been written by space aliens for their advanced features and openness to third-party platforms and languages.

The one thing that bugs me when these types of threads start is the hatefulness of others to bash MS for trying to make a profit and lock in when everyone else here is trying to earn a profit on their must have technology.

Why single MS out on this? Isn’t this what your trying to do?

I was told a long time ago by someone who should know.

The tilt had a symbolic hidden meaning... It is pointing to the North-West to MS headquarters in Redmond.

I tried many options to get to our first 100 users.

Tech Blogs (they thought we were to boring to cover)

HN (no interest)

Reddit (no interest)

Ad Words (I think I sucked at it)

So I shrugged and kept improving then one day out of the blue, a big Mommy blog covered us for ways to keep up to date on coupons.

This one coverage leads to our first 200 users, and then another blog (MakeUseOf) covered us, which then lead to other industry specific blogs to cover us. Now we are getting 70+ new accounts a day and have over 120k users.

My advice (if the OP is asking) would be to target industry specific blogs/sites that would find your product useful and covers news that relates to your websites offerings, that is what I do now.

It was an extreme example hopefully it wouldn’t happen, BUT if it did at least his G’ma, G’pa, aunts, uncles and cousins who are friends with him would at least know his choice of condoms.

Which would inevitably lead to the call from them to me letting me know what my son is up to which then leads me to explain a bunch of non transparent FB rules to non technical people.

‘Like’ing something on FB is entirely different that endorsing a product for your friends, which is what the AD makes it appear.

Too many times I have searched something on Google and then later on in FB low and behold I see an ad whiz by on my timeline pertaining to what I searched earlier on Google.

Taking this to the extreme, if my teenage son searched for Condems on Google and then later see’s the AD on FB and clicks like, do I want the AD to appear with my sons pic endorsing this product?

Doesn't pass the sniff test. The car may have allot of battery mass, but those rear taillights are still thin plastic and they didn't even break.

Something wrong here

I wish I had time to write about my experiences as I’m 10 years away from successfully retiring but I have to say, you 20+ year old readers really need to listen to what this guy is saying.

Don’t follow his advice to a tee but read in between the lines and understand the meaning.

At least do this, print his post out and re-read it when your approaching 40 as it will have a different meaning and when your 50 years old, you will think this guy was a prophet.

Don’t take not making the front page on HN as product validity as 99% of posters here are not the target market of 100% of the ‘Show HN’ posts here.

btw: You summed it up pretty nice in your blog post!

If it’s a PR stunt then they choose poorly!

They are about to ask a lot of people for private information dealing with peoples money. If they have any loose API ends and choose to slough it off as no big deal, then count me out on using their product.

Even NASA has seen the difference in ND from space.

I kept looking at the older gents behind him to move/speak/scratch but I just kept seeing that guys hand move :-/

You ever buy a Porsche(s) when you first heard they were going to water cooled?

You think the director was trying to emulate the vid quality from that place and time in the video?

Here is the factory vid of the new Porsche 918 Spyder Electric Hybrid.

Go from 600/hp to Electric Drive silence with a push of a button.

This car also owns the current lap time record on the Nürburgring (Nordschleife)

Why not? Ferdinand was a visionary that followed his intuition against all odds and produced an iconic product.

Nice find... F Porsche was certainly ahead of the curve even before the VW.

I saw this earlier today on the Porsche forums and it created quite a buzz. This car is worth magnitudes more than an original 356.

Here is your mathematical odds of doing a perfect NCAA bracket.

Yes I scratched my own itch and apparently the Fortune 500 has the same itch.

Unfortunately tech types like here on HN… not so much

Funny to see all the GMail posts:

Is GMail down?^2

GMail is down^4

Gmail is still down^10

gmail is back up^2

Gmail was down

Not sure how accurate this can be if you have everything behind a secure login.

We have clients trying our SaaS software but nothing is on their website to indicate such, its all securely hosted by us via login.

So unless they are sniffing traffic, reading our secure web logs or our potential clients are posting on social media, there is no way they would know.

They mentioned meteorite impact ejecta as a possibility. Doesn't the rover have seismic sensors they could reference?

Educated guess… he probably tortured kittens

Walk it off and resume work

Wow thanks... I'm going to download and take a peek. I have great memories playing with that game.

The 'Pinball Construction Set' program was advertised, I cant remember the page. I had that program on a Commadore 64 and it was phenomenal for what it did in <40k memory.

It even had a movable cursor using keyboard with drag and drop. It was written by a guy named Bill Bulge best I remember and have always wondered where this guy is today? given how advanced his software was way back then.
