I'm skeptical that the FBI hacked into the iPhone. Seems more like a 4th grader trying to save face.

It's definitely an over-reach. If they can force a company to change a product for this, then what's to say they can't slowly extend this precedent to all sorts of abuses of power.

Maybe when it asks you to upgrade to Windows 10 this guy's picture could pop up like Clippy.

Before an interview I make sure that I have caffeine and chocolate while driving to the interview. I always seem to communicate better when I do this.

This is absolutely true. Stephen King said that if you want to be a writer then write a lot. 2,000 words a day.

When I was in 6th grade, I used to shoot free throws every night for hours. Just for fun. We had a track and field day at the end of the year and I beat out two guys for first place in the free throw competition who went on to play basketball on our high school team.

I beat them at something that they cared about a great deal and I didn't care about at all, simply by inadvertently practicing a lot.

Programmers are expected to know about more than ever before. There are more abstractions than ever before. While I wouldn't let a senior developer get away with not knowing those things, I would give beginners and intermediate developers some leeway.

I would opt to learn how much code they've written and their general programming ability over trivia.

If they are smart and capable, they can dive into the details of any challenge that comes their way.

Lucy!? You got some splainin' to do...

Aside from getting to the top of Hacker News, I don't think this article achieves much. Listing things like Photos instead of iPhoto is more of a product development decision than a systemic quality problem.

I run Parallels and Windows 10 on my MacBook Pro and Windows runs smoother in there than it does on my Windows laptop...Maybe that points to superior hardware and integration, but I think it's also because OS X is more efficient than Windows and it's 500 lb sack of goiter it drags around in the form of legacy support for everything in the last 30 years.

I used to be a Windows computer, Android phone user. Now I'm an iPhone and MacBook Pro user. Every ecosystem has issues. I find that iOS and OS X still give you the smoothest ride though.

It's Yahoo who cares...

I mean..it's Yahoo, who cares.

IRC sucks.

I've heard this argument before. The only problem is that IMO slack is awesome and IRC is not anymore.

I'm on 3 slack teams, one with some former co-workers, one for a non-profit that teaches coding and one for a side project.

If any of them suggested IRC I probably wouldn't have bothered.

As it is, I have the desktop client on my Mac Mini, MacBook Pro and my Windows laptop and the app on my iPhone.

It's great. IRC is not. That's my opinion. You don't even give any good reasons why it doesn't work for open source projects.

You should rename this thread California Bubble...

John McAfee is certifiably nuts..he would make me more afraid for this country than Trump!

All I read was the headline and I feel like we need to go over some things you may have missed in school...

You know they're going to have some disagreement about " vs ' and it's all gonna fall apart...

I had a brother that committed suicide 7 years ago and his story was similar to yours.

A history of extreme emotional swings and hospitalization for attempting suicide.

I was the best man at his wedding. Once he got married and had three sons I thought that was the end of that part of his life.

In my mind, no one with three little boys could ever kill themselves.

I was wrong. As soon as his marriage started to fall apart, he did it.

If anyone reading this knows someone that suffers from depression, never underestimate the power of depression.

Do something with video. That could suck up $100k

SharePoint doesn't suck you're just using it wrong..

I'm a 32 year old software developer and I've been sober for over 6 years now. Had a horrible drinking problem, that got progressively worse since my teen years.

Today, I have a wife and two sons and I don't miss drinking one bit. But I had to get pretty low to stop. Everyone's bottom is different, I was lucky that I hit mine so young.

I took up to Calculus II in college and have never ever ever ever used anything higher than basic arithmetic and a little basic algebra once in a while.

I say once you do our own or add databinding to backbone, life is very very good. I love the events on the models views and collections. I was almost thinking about writing a databinding where it only updates one property at a time on change. Why update the whole view or model. Is that provided in any backbone addition?

He may feel differently in time. My little brother committed suicide 5 years ago when he was like 22. His wife was cheating on him and despite having three sons, he still did it.

I know for years I hated her and blamed her fiercely. In time though, I looked at it differently. While I still don't have much love for her, I really can't place the blame for my brother's actions solely at her feet.

The thing is, it isn't natural or normal to kill yourself when your wife cheats on you, if it's ever normal, especially when you have three sons to watch out for. My brother had problems. He wasn't right in the head and I don't think he ever really was.

If it wasn't his wife, I think he just would have found another reason, because I think he wanted to go.

Aaron Swartz may have hated what the government was doing to him and he may have even stated that was the reason for his suicide, I really don't know. But that wasn't the reason, in my opinion.

If the threat of a prison sentence was reason enough to hang yourself, it would only make sense to at least see if you're convicted first.

My heart goes out to the family, I know firsthand how much it hurts when a family member commits suicide. And I really can't blame the father for reacting that way, I would've (and did) react the same way. Just thought it would be useful to offer some perspective.

Oh yeah you mean women?

Stop trying to find a system and just find a developer you like. Then send them an email. Try github to find some work you like??

You are looking for answers on here that I don't think anyone can give you. You either want it so bad that you will do anything to make it happen or you don't.

For instance, I am at work 9 hours per day 5 days per work every week, I have a wife, two dogs and twin boys that are only two months old. I have a mortgage and car payments, student loans, yet I find the time to work on my startup every night.

Lots of people have told me that it's not a good idea, that I won't make any money with it and I just won't listen.

Hope that helps you.

I used Trello for a little while, I thought the software was good, but didn't really match my taste. Just didn't like the cards =/

That's really sad man.

And when figuring out "how many users is enough?" I think I would just use common sense and think about it like a business owner. If you had 100,000 monthly views or 16% of the Baltimore population could you charge a local business $30-$50 to advertise for a month? Absolutely and that would be pretty reasonable. You'd probably sell out quickly and be able to raise prices from there :)

Definitely an advertising play. Don't think I'd worry about that up front tho. I would focus on building a huge audience first. You didn't really say how many monthly visits you have right now, but really if you have the monthly views then selling advertising on the site would be the easy part.
